Past Vyasa Edit
The Vishnu Purana has a theory about Vyasa.[6] The Hindu view of the universe is that of a cyclic phenomenon that comes into existence and dissolves repeatedly. Each cycle is presided over by a number of Manus, one for each Manvantara, that has four ages, Yugas of declining virtues. The Dvapara Yuga is the third Yuga. The Vishnu Purana (Book 3, Ch 3) says:
Twenty-eight times have the Vedas been arranged by the great Rishis in the Vaivasvata Manvantara... and consequently eight and twenty Vyasas have passed away; by whom, in the respective periods, the Veda has been divided into four[7]
During every Dvapara Yuga of the present Vaivasvat Manvantara, different Vyasas have divided the Vedas twenty-eight times.
During the first Dvapara Yuga,Lord Brahma himself divided the Vedas.
During the second Dvapara Yuga, Prajapati was Veda Vyasa.
During the third Dwapara,Shukracharya was Veda Vyasa.
During fourth Dwapara Brihaspati acted as Veda Vyasa.Description of other sages who acted as Veda Vyasa during the subsequent Dvapara Yuga is as follows-
Surya- fifth Veda Vyasa;
Mrityu- sixth Veda Vyasa,
Indra- seventh Veda Vyasa,
Vashishta- eighth Veda Vyasa,
Saraswat- ninth Veda Vyasa,
Tridhama- tenth Veda Vyasa,
Trishikh- eleventh Veda Vyasa,
Bharadwaj- twelfth Veda Vyasa,
Antariksh- thirteenth Veda Vyasa,
Varani- fourteenth Veda Vyasa. Names of next fourteen Veda Vyasas are as follows-
Trayyarun,
Dhananjay,
Krutunjay,
Jay,
Bharadwaj,
Gautam,
Haryatma,
Vajshrava,
Trinbindhu,
Valmiki,
Shakti,
Parashar,
Jatukarn and
Krishna Dwaipayan.
After Krishna Dvaipāyana Vyasa, Drona's son, Ashwatthama will be the next Veda Vyasa[7][8][9]
From Kurma Purana ,In every Dvapara Yuga , a Veda Vyasa is born so as to divide the Vedas and disseminate their knowledge. In the present era, there have been twenty eight Dvapara Yuga and therefore been twenty eight individuals who have held the title of Veda Vyasa. The Kurma Purana gives their names as follows.
Svayambhuva Manu
Prajapati
Ushana
Brihaspati
Savita
Mrityu
Indra
Vashishtha

Current Vyasa Edit
Krishna Dvaipāyana Vyasa lived around the 3rd millennium BCE.[12][13] The festival of Guru Purnima is dedicated to him. It is also known as Vyasa Purnima, for it is the day believed to be both his birthday and the day he divided the Vedas.[14][15] There are two different views regarding his birthplace. One of the views suggests that he was born in the Tanahun district in western Nepal, other view suggests that he was born on Island in Yamuna river near Kalpi, Uttar Pradesh, India. He is the author of the Mahabharata, as well as a character in it. He is considered to be the scribe of both the Vedas and Puranas.
Krishna Dvaipāyana Vyasa is also considered to be one of the seven Chiranjivins (long lived, or immortals), who are still in existence according to general Hindu belief. Krishna Dvaipāyana Vyasa will also become one of the Saptarishi in the 8th Manvantara along with sage Kripa ,sage Aswatthama and sage Parashurama[16]
Future Vyasa Edit
Ashwatthama or Drauni was the son of guru Drona.Drona did many years of severe penance to please Lord Siva in order to obtain a son who possesses the same valiance as of Lord Siva. Aswatthama is the avatar of one of the eleven Rudras and he is one of the seven Chiranjivi or the immortal ones.He is the grandson of the Brahmin sage Bharadwaja. Ashwatthama is a mighty Maharathi[17] who fought on the Kaurava side against the Pandavas in Mahabharata war. Aswatthama along with his maternal uncle Kripa is believed to be the lone survivors still living who actually fought in the kurukshetra war.[18] Along with sage Parashurama ,sage Krishna Dvaipāyana Vyasa and sage Kripa, Aswatthama is considered to be foremost among the rishis in Kaliyuga.[19] Aswatthama will become the next sage Vyasa, who in turn divide the Veda in 29th Mahayuga of 7th Manvantara. Aswatthama will also become one of the Saptarishi in the 8th Manvantara along with sage Krishna Dvaipāyana Vyasa, sage Kripa and sage Parashurama.[16] Like Bhishma, Drona, Kripa, Karna, and Arjuna, he is a master of the science of weapons and is regarded as the foremost among warriors.[20] Aswatthama studied Dhanurveda or martial arts and Brahmavidya or the science of the self or Atma from Lord Parasurama, Maharishi Durvasa, Maharishi Krishna Dvaipāyana Vyasa, Bhishma, Kripa and Drona. Aswatthama is the master of all forms of knowledge and possesses complete mastery over 64 forms of arts or Kalas and 18 Vidyas or branches of knowledge.
Hare Krishna Prabhu your question is nice aqctually Krishna creates all types of spiritual and material knowledge personally in spiritual world before the creation of material world or Jada Jagat when krishna wants to create material world or Jada Jagat he creates innemurable universes with innemurable planets and innemurable galaxies with in each universes there are lord Brahma in different universes our universe is the smallest of them 4 billion yojanas 500 million miles that's why our lord brahma head is four according to the diameter of each universes the heads of brahma shiva, indira, increases some have millions and billions of heads now come to your question when this scriptures are written and how they came into being the answer is that when lord Krishna creates this material universes through his gigantic swarupa karnodaksayai Vishnu who resides in the casual ocean from him infinite amount of universes are emanating from karnodaksayai Vishnu he expands himself as a garbhodaksayai Vishnu from the navel of garbhodaksayai Vishnu lord Brahma came out and Krishna gaves all kinds of both spiritual and material knowledge in his heart as a garbhodaksayai Vishnu brahma not directly seen the lord but he hears the transcendental sound and starts to meditating for millions of years this is the first transmission heard by lord Brahma from Vishnu then brahma creates the whole secondary creation before him lord garbhodaksayai Vishnu enters into all types of universes lord as the same there is no difference garbhadhaksayai means the one who takes in a womb then brahma creates the secondary creation whole Brahmanda or hiranyanda at the Krishna gaves all spiritual and material knowledge to brahmaji and from brahmaji he creates the first Sanat Kumar's and then first saptarshis 7 muni rishis this is happend at the beginning of this brahma which 155.522 trillion years ago in Vedas it is said that 1000 of brahmas cycles are came and go in this universe after the creation of saptarshis then came to earth and starts to creates the all types of living entities in this earth some 5 billions years ago so and all the saptarshis spread spiritual and material knowledge to all the society's in this manner not only in this universe but other universes also Krishna gives spiritual knowledge and material knowledge through brahma so now you can imagine we read Gita bhagwatam chaiChait charitamrita and all other scriptures they are personally presents before this creation in bg Krishna says
imam vivasvate yogam
proktavan aham avyayam
vivasvan manave praha
manur iksvakave 'bravit
Okay Hare Krishna, I will try to explain with some limited knowledge from books.
As what we know is only what we have read from the books. Books were only written and has the content of maximum Starting from Bramhanda creation. Who is before the creation? no one knows what started it. How is started when it started.
We only know from this kalpa. A kalpa is equal to 4.32 billion years, a "day of Brahma" or one thousand mahayugas, measuring the duration of the world. Each kalpa is divided into 14manvantara periods, each lasting 71 yuga cycles (306,720,000 years).
There are many Brahma's and the end of every 14 manvantaras there is a great deluge. What we in right now is the 7th manvantara ( Vaivasvatha manuantara) so it seems we have completed almost half a day of Lord Bramha right now.
When we would be completing 14 manvantaras and it would be the completion of a day, and again a great deluge will occur to wipe off all the living non living ( every type ) of creation to restart a new Kalpa another day of Brahma.
It is said that.. When this present Brahma ( chaturmukha Bramha) who is present right now. was born out of the navel ( of LORD GARBODAKSAYA VISHNU) from the lotus flower. He could see all around him only water and nothing else.
Once Markandeya muni wanted to know the illusory power of the Lord asked to show him .. he could perceive that There is a great deluge and all was being flooded. and a small banyan leaf came floating by in the middle of the great waters which has a small baby in blue form sucking his toe. From this we can understand. That Lord Sri Krishna is the primary cause of all causes.
Now coming to the present Brahma, When Braham ji got bewildered he looked all 4 directions to see who else is there along with him and was in a great confusion. only water he could see everywhere. that why he got 4 head as he looked in four directions to see where from he originated.
Then he went thru the lotus stalk down to see where is his origins. He couldn't see the end of it as he kept on diving along the lotus stalk. Then feeling tired he came back and sat on the lotus flower with focused mind started to meditate. It kept on meditating on his self for 100 yrs.
you can go thru this chapter in SB

The Brahma Saṁhitā is a Sanskrit text, composed of verses of prayer spoken by Brahma glorifying the Lord or Govinda at the beginning of creation. It is revered within Gaudiya Sampradaya whose 16th-century founder, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu(1486–1534), rediscovered a part of the work, the 62 verses of Chapter 5, which had previously been lost for a few centuries, at the Adikeshava temple.,somwhere in Tamil Nadu, South India.
Kali Santarano upanishad is a part of upanishads.
called Kalisantaraṇopaniṣad, is a Sanskrit text attached to the Kṛṣṇa Yajurveda. It is a minor Upanishad of Hinduism.The Upanishad was likely composed before about 1500 CE, and it was popularized in the 16th century by Chaitanya in the Gaudiya Vaishnavism tradition.[3] The short text presents two verses called the Maha-mantra, containing the words Hare, Krishna and Rama. The word Hare or goddess Radha is repeated eight times, while the other two are Hindu gods who are repeated four times. The text asserts that audible chanting of this mantra is a means to wash away all the tribulations of the current era. ( SOURCE- Wikipedia).Harir harathi papani dushta chithair api smrutha,
Anichayapi samsprushto dahathyevahi pavaka.
Even if taken Anichhayapi ( having no intention to take the name), inadvertently, without intention accidental taking the name of Lord Hari name will burn the sins like wild fire.
So please chant Lord's name this is the only way to burn our bad karmas in this yuga.
Hare Krishna.
hare krishna prabhu
before kaliyuga there was only one veda (ref SB 1.3.21)
what was the content of vedas at that time
vedas contain many branches of knowledge like military science, ayurved etc.. how to fulfil your desires, how to get liberation and most important knowledge of devotional service to Lord
Ref. Civilization & Transcendence, Ch 5 : https://www.vedabase.com/en/cat/5
Śrīla Prabhupāda: Nothing can be changed. But according to the time, you have to apply the principles properly. For instance, in Kali-yuga the smṛti order is kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya mukta-saṅgaḥ paraṁ vrajet: [SB ] to obtain spiritual liberation, one must chant the holy name of the Lord, Hare Kṛṣṇa. So you have to do this. For instance, a doctor may order, "In the morning, take this medicine; in the evening, take that medicine." It is not a change of the doctor's orders. It is simply that according to the time, the doctor's orders call for a particular medicine. But the particular medicine is recommended by the doctor, not by your whims. Śruti and smṛti cannot be changed, but they may recommend a particular process at a particular time. So there must be adherence to both śruti and smṛti—to scriptural authority. You cannot modify.
in prev. yugas , hare krishna mahamantra was there or not i don't know ... but many diff. mantras are there : for ex, Narada Muni gave "Om Namo Bhagavate Vaasudevaaya" mantra to Maharaj Dhruv. Acc. to Kali Santaran Upnishad, Hare Krishna Mantra is described as only way for Kaliyug.
Acc. to Srila Prabhupad, Krishna is mentioned as Supreme Lord in vedas even before he came to the earth. There are many vedic references : https://www.vedabase.com/en/bg/11/54
Brahma Samhita was discovered by Lord Chaitanya is a temple in South India.
other devotees please help improve this attempt & pl also point out any mistakes _/|\_ hare krishna
