It is therefore difficult to imagine what it was like in the earlier millenniums. Even at a human level if one is 40 or 50 years of age and he looks back on his life then he will be surprised that the world in which he was living in 20 years back does not exist any longer. We have just entered into the 21st century and if we look back on the 20th century then we will be shocked to notice that there is very little similarity between the last and this century.

This calculation cannot be correct and has been challenged from time to time by great yogis and scholars. It means few more lakhs of years have to pass before we enter into another yuga. According to yugas calculation, we are in the Kalyug and that is the first charan of kalyug. There is a misconception about the length of four yugas. There is no evidence that astrological charts were in practice at that time although nakshatra were kept in the highest esteem and used for other tantric, yantric and mantric activities. The concepts of astrology were used extensively in the form of knowing rashis, nakshtras and planets and using their energy or inherent power for the upliftment of material and spiritual world. On the concept of Shiva Shakti one can see the importance of Shakti (Devi) is no less than Shiva in any form. Women deities were worshipped independently of their male partner as well as together. The equality of man and woman relationship was thoroughly observed during the time of the Vedas. We also come across the concept of one God and many Gods like Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh other Gods and Devis. The general intellect of human beings was so advanced that he could create one to one relationship with numerous deities for his benefit. For the benefit of mankind and keeping equilibrium in society and ecology besides these three deities many more deities were invoked from time to time through the medium of yagyas. Many Gods were being worshipped and the primary deities are Sun, Vayu and Agni. Perhaps knowledge and civilization were peaking to such heights that the understanding of the world, human relationships, deities and God were very informal. During the Vedic times culture, society, perception and concept of life were entirely different from what we imagine today. Primarily astrology is considered the science of rashi, nakshatras and grahas (constellation, signs and cosmos). It is noted that the first constellation was Krittika not Ashwini as believed or used nowadays. Out of the four Vedas Yajur Veda was the first and the description of almost all the constellations are available in it. According to Lokmanya Tilak, says in his book Orion that Vedas are 5000 year old scriptures. Vedas are the first ancient texts of Mankind.
