What is the meaning of this Ang?

[KingJohal]

I have recently started to study Gurbani, am amazed at the wealth of knowledge and wisdom I am gathering. Should have began doing it long ago, unfortunately my parents have lost the way and never encouraged me to study when I was young. These past couple years since COVID have been rough, and reading this has really helped me mentally. I stumbled upon this and am not sure what to make of it. It really sounds sort of like the times we are living in now... Interested to hear how the community here interprets this. What does it mean? 

 

ਕਲਿ ਹੋਈ ਕੁਤੇ ਮੁਹੀ ਖਾਜੁ ਹੋਆ ਮੁਰਦਾਰੁ ॥ ਕੂੜੁ ਬੋਲਿ ਬੋਲਿ ਭਉਕਣਾ ਚੂਕਾ ਧਰਮੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ॥ In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, people have faces like dogs; they eat rotting carcasses for food. They bark and speak, telling only lies; all thought of righteousness has left them. (Ang 1242, SGGS)

You should read the Rahao, it should give you context of what is being said and the meaning.

Sounds like Kalyug to me. 

Oh bro. Just read your post again. Yes that's exactly what time it is. Kalyug.

Yes. It is talking about the yug which is ongoing - Kalyug. 

Satyug, Tretayug, Dwaparyug & Kalyug

This is the cycle this universe goes thru.. Kalyug is the end and it restarts with Satyug

Found the definitions from other sources below....

Satyug = Full Spiritual world. No Evil/Maya in this yug. 
Tretayug = Slight Spiritual decline.
Dwaparyug = 50/50 population decline in spirituality
Kalyug = Full blown Spiritual decline with our own mind and war with evil within oneself (whole population affected).

Currently we are in Kalyug and this is how it will transition to Satyug through an apocalypse/self-destruction
