Has anyone heard of the Yugas and see the chart that shows the various ages? (Iron, silver, bronze, gold) I was curious if the LOO touches on cosmic cycles such as this?

In the picture in this video "the big year" (Das Große Jahr) is a cycle of 24.000 years. LOO also speaks of cycles of app. 25.000 years. Major cycle is 75.000 years - three minor cycles. At the end of each cycle is harvest. LOO didn't go in further detail if I remember correctly.

The video refers to Sri Yukteswar's book "The Holy Science". Here is a quote taken from an article about Sri Yukteswar's explanation of the yugas, I recommend to read the whole article (link below).

In his book The Holy Science under the title Kaivalya Darsanam,written in 1894. Sri Yukteswar states that he wrote The Holy Science at the request of Mahavatar Babaji.The book compares parallel passages from the Bible and Upanishads in order to show the unity of all religions.

Sri Yukteswar’s introduction to The Holy Science includes his explanation of the Yuga Cycle – revolutionary because of his premise that the earth is now in the age of Dwapara Yuga, not the Kali Yuga that most Indian pundits believe to be the current age.His theory is based on the idea that the sun “takes some star for its dual and revolves round it in about 24,000 years of our earth – a celestial phenomenon which causes the backward movement of the equinoctial points around the zodiac.” The common explanation for this celestial phenomenon is precession, the ‘wobbling’ rotating movement of the earth axis.
