The Mahābhārata and the Yugas India's Great Epic Poem and the Hindu System of World Ages

"This original and well-researched study sheds considerable new light on the history and development of the theory of cyclical time, one of the most critical concepts in our understanding of the religious and cosmological thought of Hindu India. Luis González-Reimann's work is a 'must read' for anyone interested in the Indian epic literature and in the way in which the concept of recurrent yugas or world ages evolves in these seminal texts." (Robert P. Goldman, Department of South and Southeast Asian Studies, University of California at Berkeley)
"The view that yugas and pralayas replace each other in endless cycles strongly influenced the final formulations of all basic religious doctrines in India. This excellent book will prove to be indispensable for anybody interested in the foundations of Indian culture." (Yaroslav V. Vassilkov, Department of South and Southeast Asian Studies, Institute of Oriental Studies, St. Petersburg)
