    According to Vedic philosophy, there are four eras in every world cycle. They represent a gradual decline from enlightenment (Satya Yuga) to chaos and ignorance (Kali Yuga) before it starts again. Each of these eras lasts roughly 2160 years. 
You're probably familiar with the four ages of Hindu philosophy: Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dwapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga. The golden age is when pure knowledge is widespread, and people live in harmony. The dark age is when everything goes wrong—the World falls into chaos, and humanity descends into ignorance. But what happens next? 
What is the meaning of "the end of the world"?

    This book contains the following three titles: 
Psychodynamic Therapy - Psychodynamic therapy is an approach to psychological treatment rooted in the ideas and concepts developed by Sigmund Freud and his followers. It emphasizes the importance of unconscious processes and early childhood experiences in shaping an individual's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This therapy aims to bring these unconscious factors into conscious awareness, helping individuals gain insight and resolve internal conflicts that may be contributing to current psychological difficulties. 
Psychosocial Therapy - Psychosocial therapy is a holistic approach to mental health care that emphasizes the interconnectedness of psychological and social factors in promoting well-being and recovery. Unlike traditional approaches that primarily focus on symptom management through medication or isolated psychotherapy, psychosocial therapy addresses the broader context of an individual’s life. It explores how relationships, community involvement, cultural background, and socioeconomic conditions influence mental health outcomes. 
Play Therapy - Play is a fundamental aspect of childhood, serving as a natural medium through which children explore the world, express emotions, and develop essential skills. For children facing emotional, social, or psychological challenges, play becomes more than just a recreational activity; it transforms into a powerful tool for healing and growth. Play therapy harnesses the innate creativity and spontaneity of play to address a wide range of difficulties, offering children a safe and supportive environment to work through their struggles.
