Dwaparyug / Copper Age
Deities are also humans, but with divine powers. Now, by these 20-21 births, the souls have changed so many bodies and changed from deities to ordinary human beings. Gradually, somewhere there must have been situations when the souls� consciousness must have shifted to the body. After all, it is just a consciousness. A doctor can get the consciousness of a father in an operation theatre. Similarly, somewhere after 2500 years, the souls must have started getting thoughts of body-consciousness, and gradually started thinking that they are the body, not the soul. Thus, they started getting attached to the bodies, and this is how vices emerged. Note, this happened very very slowly and gradually over a period of long time.
The five vices are sex-lust, anger, greed, attachment, ego. When they thought they are the body, they even looked at others as a body, and this is how sex-lust aroused. Thinking they are the body is ego. Feeling that I should have more money, fame, beauty than the other is jealousy and greed, which easily leads to anger.
Souls are now 8 Kala Sampurna, but still in this time, the corruption is not as intense as it is now. Time is still quite pleasant. Every soul takes a birth of approximately 60 years long. Thus, every soul takes approximately 21 births in the Dwaparyug.
Deities do not exist anymore in that yug, but still there is the remembrance of Deities in everybody�s mind, because some of them have seen the deities in the past, so there is a memory that divine deities existed. Since vices also began, there was pain and suffering. This is why they started calling out for God, and in His remembrance, built the very first temples of the 12 Jyotirlingams in India. Now, since there must have been pictures of the divine deities, there were also temples of various deities built everywhere!
This was the time when the great prophets came down to re-unite the humanity and established various religions. However, we expected God to appear as a miracle and change the world with magic, so we could not completely understand these prophets when they said �God is Light�. Since these prophets were also divine, we started considering them as God.Currency in this age was Copper. The population was still below 100 Crores
