| Summary |
This book investigates the origins of the cosmic cycles of Hinduism, from its antecedents in the Vedic astronomical cycles to its final elaboration in the first centuries of the Christian era, through the influences received from the Mediterranean world. The different types of cycles are explained in detail, including their numerical complexities, and topics such as our location in time, the various types of destruction of the world, and the relationship between the different cycles and the appearance of the " avataras" or incarnations of the Supreme God |
