Which kaal is going on ?
In Jain cosmology, time moves in cycles and is divided into two halves: Utsarpini (ascending) and Avasarpini (descending). You asked which kaal is going on right now:
- We are currently in the Avasarpini kaal (the descending half of the cycle). This is the present cosmic age, characterized by a general decline in virtue over time.
If you meant something more specific (for example, a particular sub-age or a different Jain tradition’s naming), tell me and I’ll clarify. You can read more about the general idea of kaal in Jain texts here:
