do we have any shastra of the incarnation of the Human Gods before Satyag " which tell us Dharma?

Question

what i mean that this universe has infinit life time and Hindu is the oldest religion still we have the record from Satyug only .

we know about the Lord Sri Rama and the Lord Sri Krishna as the Human God . do we have any scripture which tells us about the God incarnation like Lord Rama and Lord Krishna before the last cycle of Satyug,dwapar,treyta kaliyug

My main concern is that before Satyug there might be Kaliyug and we can know the Dharma for Kaliyug. please share your knowledge

Answer 1

Hindu chronological event is based on cyclic property and not on linear scale. After one cycle of four yugas, new cycle starts from the begining. No carry over takes place. Yes, from the scratch everything starts. It is like a child builds a sand-house in the beach, demolishes it after sometime, and starts to build a new one and so on....... .

Reference 1:
Time in Dravidic Hindu philosophy is measured in Kalpas. One Kalpa is a day and night for Brahma (the Lord of Creation). After each Kalpa, there is another Kalpa.

Each of the Kalpa is divided into two thousand Mahayugas. Each Mahayuga is divided into four Yugas or Ages. The Four Ages we speak of are: Krita (or Sathya), Treta, Dvapara and Kali. We now live in the Kali Yuga. At the end of the Kali Yuga, the Universe will be destroyed by PRALAYA (The Deluge) and the cosmic creation will begin once again. One must note also that as each Yuga passes the Universe deteriorates.

The age of Kali Yuga lasts for 432,000 human years. Krita (Sathya) Yuga is four times the length of Kali Yuga (1,728,000 human years). Treta Yuga is three times the length of Kali Yuga (1,296,000 human years). Dvapara Yuga is two times the length of Kali Yuga (864,000) human years. So the length of one Mahayuga (four Yugas) is 4,320,000 human years.

A Brahma (or Lord of Creation) lives for one hundred Brahma years (made up of 360 Brahma days or Kalpas). After that He dies. Brahma therefore lives for 36,000 Kalpas (each one containing two thousand Mahayugas). Thus the life of Brahma is 36,000 x 2,00 x 4,320,000 human years or around 311 trillion human years. After the death of each Brahma, there is a MAHAPRALAYA (Great Deluge) where the entire Universe is destroyed and a new Brahma appears and creation starts all over again.

Reference 2:

Our current date:
We are currently in the 28th kaliyuga of the first day of the 1st year of the shvetavaraha kalpa of the second parardha of Brahma in the reign of the 7th Manu, Manu Vaivasvata. This is the 51st year of the present Brahma and so about 155 trillion years have elapsed since he took over as Brahma.

The current Kali Yuga (Iron Age) began at midnight 17 February / 18 February in 3102 BC in the proleptic Julian calendar.

Reference 3 to 10:

Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 5.4.14: Being an incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Ṛṣabhadeva was fully independent because His form was spiritual, eternal and full of transcendental bliss.

When they wind up one set of pastimes in one particular universe they are appearing in another one - in other words its NOT appropriate to define them according to CHRONOLOGY.

Distinct again are yuga avatars (avatars that appear each yuga to establish dharma for the yuga)

Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 11.5.23:
"haḿsaḥ suparṇo vaikuṇṭho
dharmo yogeśvaro 'malaḥ
īśvaraḥ puruṣo 'vyaktaḥ
paramātmeti gīyate"

'In Satya-yuga the Lord is glorified by the names Haḿsa, Suparṇa, Vaikuṇṭha, Dharma, Yogeśvara, Amala, Īśvara, Puruṣa, Avyakta and Paramātmā.'

SB 11.5.24:
"tretāyāḿ rakta-varṇo 'sau
catur-bāhus tri-mekhalaḥ
hiraṇya-keśas trayy-ātmā
sruk-sruvādy-upalakṣaṇah"̣

'In Tretā-yuga the Lord appears with a red complexion. He has four arms, golden hair, and wears a triple belt representing initiation into each of the three Vedas. Embodying the knowledge of worship by sacrificial performance, which is contained in the Ṛg, Sāma and Yajur Vedas, His symbols are the ladle, spoon and other implements of sacrifice.'

SB 11.5.25:
"taḿ tadā manujā devaḿ
sarva-deva-mayaḿ harim
yajanti vidyayā trayyā
dharmiṣṭhā brahma-vādinaḥ"

'In Tretā-yuga, those members of human society who are fixed in religiosity and are sincerely interested in achieving the Absolute Truth worship Lord Hari, who contains within Himself all the demigods. The Lord is worshiped by the rituals of sacrifice taught in the three Vedas.'

SB 11.5.26:
"viṣṇur yajñaḥ pṛśnigarbhaḥ
sarvadeva urukramaḥ
vṛṣākapir jayantaś ca
urugāya itīryate'

'In Tretā-yuga the Lord is glorified by the names Viṣṇu, Yajña, Pṛśnigarbha, Sarvadeva, Urukrama, Vṛṣākapi, Jayanta and Urugāya.'

SB 11.5.27:
"dvāpare bhagavāñ śyāmaḥ
pīta-vāsā nijāyudhaḥ
śrīvatsādibhir ańkaiś ca
lakṣaṇair upalakṣitaḥ"

'In Dvāpara-yuga the Supreme Personality of Godhead appears with a dark blue complexion, wearing yellow garments. The Lord's transcendental body is marked in this incarnation with Śrīvatsa and other distinctive ornaments, and He manifests His personal weapons.'

SB 11.5.28:
"taḿ tadā puruṣaḿ martyā
mahā-rājopalakṣaṇam
yajanti veda-tantrābhyāḿ
paraḿ jijñāsavo nṛpa"

'My dear King, in Dvāpara-yuga men who desire to know the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the supreme enjoyer, worship Him in the mood of honoring a great king, following the prescriptions of both the Vedas and tantras.'

Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 11.5.29-30:
"namas te vāsudevāya
namaḥ sańkarṣaṇāya ca
pradyumnāyāniruddhāya
tubhyaḿ bhagavate namaḥ
nārāyaṇāya ṛṣaye
puruṣāya mahātmane
viśveśvarāya viśvāya
sarva-bhūtātmane namaḥ"

'Obeisances to You, O Supreme Lord Vāsudeva, and to Your forms of Sańkarṣaṇa, Pradyumna and Aniruddha. O Supreme Personality of Godhead, all obeisances unto You. O Lord Nārāyaṇa Ṛṣi, O creator of the universe, best of personalities, master of this cosmos and original form of the universe, O Supersoul of all created entities, all homage unto You.'

PURPORT:
'The supreme living entity, Kṛṣṇa, eternally manifests Himself as the catur-vyūha, or quadruple plenary expansion. The purport of this prayer is that one should give up his false ego and pray to this catur-vyūha by offering Them obeisances. Although the Absolute Truth is one without a second, the Absolute Truth displays His unlimited opulences and potencies by expanding Himself in innumerable plenary forms, of which the catur-vyūha is a principal expansion. The original being is Vāsudeva, the Personality of Godhead. When the Godhead manifests His primeval energies and opulences, He is called Sańkarṣaṇa. Pradyumna is the basis of the Viṣṇu expansion who is the soul of the entire universe, and Aniruddha is the basis of the personal manifestation of Viṣṇu as the Supersoul of every individual entity within the universe. Among the four plenary expansions mentioned here, the original expansion is Vāsudeva, and the other three are considered to be particular manifestations of Him.'

Then there is this interesting quote:
SB 11.5.32:
"kṛṣṇa-varṇaḿ tviṣākṛṣṇaḿ
sāńgopāńgāstra-pārṣadam
yajñaiḥ sańkīrtana-prāyair
yajanti hi su-medhasaḥ"

'In the age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the names of Kṛṣṇa. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons and confidential companions.'
