.....I believe there is much more hope in the smaller cycle of which Sri Yukteswar speaks which involves the bianary system you brought to our attention. As far as i know the rotation of our solar system around the whole galaxy is not mentioned by Yogananda or Yukteswar. This period is astronomical in length. One journey of our solar system around the center of the Milky Way galaxy is sometimes called a cosmic year. That’s approximately 225-250 million years.
I was referring to the fact that the revolution of the sun around its dual causes an equuinoctial cycle which puts the sun in alternate - closer -and -farther distances from the galactic center. This, as far as I remember, is the explanation given by Sri Yukteswar to his model of evolution-involution cycle. We rotate around the sun but the sun rotates around its dual. In such an orbital trajectory, when the solar system is closer to the galactic center its spiritual influence is greatest and the other way around.
This is the interpretation I gave to the below excerpt from Sri Yukteswar. I am realizing now that the seat of Brhama is not precisely identified, maybe I read somewhere else that it referred to the galactic center, further clarification is needed.
The sun also has another motion by which it revolves round a grand center called Vishnu-Naabhi which is the seat of the creative power Brahma, the universal magnetism. Brahma regulates Dharma the mental virtues of the internal world. When the sun in its revolution round its dual come to the place nearest to this grand center the seat of Brahma (an event which takes place when the autumnal equinox comes to the first point of Aries) Dharma the mental virtue becomes so much developed that man can easily comprehend all, even the mysteries of Spirit.[1]
