Sarathi Shyama Dasa
Yugadi or Ugadi or "Samvatsradi”, formed by sandhi of yuga "age" and ādi "beginning": the beginning of an age is the New Year's Day for the people of the Deccan region of India. According to the Brahma Purana, this is the day on which Brahma created the world after the deluge and time began to tick from this day forth
The word Yugadi can be explained as; 'Yuga' is the word for 'epoch' or 'era', and 'aadi' stands for 'the beginning'. Yugadi specifically refers to the start of the age we are living in now, Kali Yuga. Kali Yuga started the moment when Lord Krishna left the world. Maharshi Vedavyasa describes this event with the words "Yesmin Krishno divamvyataha, Tasmat eeva pratipannam Kaliyugam". Kali Yuga began on February 17/18 at midnight in 3102 BC.
