Yuga.

Kali has numerous meanings – anger, suffering, grieve, hurt,
confound and confuse. We can find all these characteristics dominating the
earth currently.
The only way to attain moksha in Kali Yuga is by chanting the
name of God.
Virtue will have only on feet in Kali Yuga. This is the
symbolic representation of the decline in physical and moral standards with the
passage of each era.
Constant remembrance of the names of Gods and Goddesses is
the only means to get over the evils of Kali Yuga. This is stated in Bhagavad
Purana (XII, 3.46 – 52) (know more about the characteristics of Kali Yuga).
Kali Yuga will come to an end with the arrival of Kalki Avatar. This avatar will set in motion the end of this cycle of creation - please note that Kalki can be any form ... from the form that is invisible to humans or the gadgets they have created to gigantic in size that the earth cannot hold. The utter chaos of Kali Yuga will be put to an end and there will silence for millions of years. Bhagavan will then set in motion the next cycle of creation when 'OM' vibrates through the universe. Then there will be the arrival of Satya Yuga. Virtue will stand again on four legs.
