Luis Gonzalez-Reimann discusses the meaning of key terms in the epic by examining the text and early Buddhist sources. This book also traces the sectarian appropriation of the yuga system in later literature and documents how modern religious movements have used the system to proclaim the arrival of a new, prosperous Krta Yuga, a phenomenon that coincides with new age expectations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788120834842\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.6 x 5.7 x 1.2 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Motilal Banarsidass Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49387212341552,"sku":"DRG.MLBD_9788120834842","price":322.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/motilal-banarsidass-publications-book-default-title-the-mahabharata-and-the-yugas-india-s-great-epic-poem-and-the-hindu-system-of-world-ages-39837133766960.jpg?v=1775950374","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/the-mahabharata-and-the-yugas-indias-great-epic-poem-and-the-hindu-system-of-world-ages","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
