Question: We know that this running age is Kali yuga and from scriptures we understand its symptoms. Are the Svarga-loka planets or lower planetary systems also influenced by Kali yuga?
Answer by Romapada Swami:
Kali yuga lasts for 1200 years in the time of demigods; at the end of 1000 four-yuga cycles there is a partial devastation up to svarga- loka. This gives us an estimate of the relative time scale on the higher planets compared to the earth planet, but I am unaware of any specific indication in scriptures with regard to the specific influence of Kali or offering details regarding time cycles on the higher or lower planets. The four-yuga cycles are mentioned only in terms of their influence within the earthly realm, as far as any reference I have come across.
