Answer 2

A "Golden Age" is a mythical time of joy and happiness that we as people or as cultures, dream of. This may be a time in the past now or the future all that is significant that at some stage everything was is or will be perfect: "good" according to the mores of society, often literally with gold.

Dreams of a "Golden Age" help with forbearance the daily struggle that has been man's or woman's lot for most of history.

Answer 3

I believe it is here and now, within our hearts, an inner experience but we are often distracted by the illusions of the material world. In mythology, according to Wikipedia, 'The term Golden age stems from Greek mythology and Roman poets. It refers to the highest age in the Greek spectrum of Iron, Bronze, Silver and Golden ages, or to a time in the beginnings of Humanity which was perceived as an ideal state, or utopia, when mankind was pure and immortal. In literary works, the Golden Age usually ends with a devastating event, which brings about the Fall of Man (see Ages of Man). An analogous idea can be found in the religious and philosophical traditions of the Far East. For example, the Vedic or ancient Hindu culture saw history as cyclical composed of yugas with alternating Dark and Golden ages. The Kali yuga (Iron Age), Dwapara yuga (Bronze Age), Treta yuga (Silver age) and Satya yuga (Golden age) correspond to the four Greek ages. Similar beliefs can be found in the ancient Middle East and throughout the ancient world.

According to Giorgio de Santillana, the former professor of history at MIT, and co-author of the book Hamlet's Mill[1], there are over 200 myth and folkstories from over 30 ancient cultures that spoke of a cycle of the ages tied to the movement of the heavens. Some Utopianist beliefs, both political and religious, hold that the Golden Age will return after a period of blessedness and gradual decadence is completed. Other proponents, including many modern day Hindus, believe a Golden age will gradually return as a natural consequence of the changing yugas.

Some pastoral works of fiction depict life in an imaginary Arcadia as being a continuation of life in the Golden Age; the shepherds of such a land have not allowed themselves to be corrupted into civilization.[2]

I think in Hindu Myths, we are coming to the end of Kali Yuga, a difficult and dangerous time but one marked by great blessings.
