As per Hindu Mythology Lord
Brahma is the creator of Universe. He has four heads, to monitor all four
directions, he is often called Svyambhu (meaning self-born). He was born from a
Lotus which emerged from Lord Vishnu’s Navel. Some literature states that he
was born from a Golden Egg known as “Hiranyagarbha” which has a different
magnanimous theory.
Brahma often called as "Parampitah" meaning Father of Everything created in Universe |
As per Hindu Cosmology the
creation and destruction of the universe is a cyclic process in a time span of
8.64 billion years which repeats itself forever and Big Bang is not the
beginning of everything but just the start of present cycle.
So in simple terms it can be
understood by
Ayana is a six month period of Sun's progress either from North or South of the ecliptic, two Ayana compose one human year
Ayana is a six month period of Sun's progress either from North or South of the ecliptic, two Ayana compose one human year
1 human year = 1 Dev Ahoratra (i.e. A Complete Day - 1 Day & 1 Night of Demigods, Northern Ayana is Day and Southern Ayana is Night)
30 Ahoratra of Dev = 1 Month of Dev
360 Dev Ahoratra = 1 Dev Vatsara (1 Year)
12000 Dev Vatsara = 1 Chaturyuga (often called as Maha-Yuga)
One Chaturyuga includes
(12000 Dev Vatsara of which
71 Chaturyuga = 1 Manvantar (i.e. Lifespan of One Manu)
- 4800 Vatsara is Human’s 1 Satya or Krita Yuga
- 3600 Vatsara is 1 Treta Yuga
- 2400 Vatsara is 1 Dwapar Yuga & remaining
- 1200 Vatsara is 1 Kali Yuga) hence 432000 Human Years = 1 Kali Yuga, the present yuga in which we are living
71 Chaturyuga = 1 Manvantar (i.e. Lifespan of One Manu)
Before the beginning of First and after
each Manvantar follows a Samdhi Kala which is of same duration as a Krita Yuga
14 Manvantar = 1 Kalpa (1 Day of Lord Brahma, includes 14 Manvantara and 15 Samdhi Kala)
2 Kalpas = 1 Day & 1 Night of Brahma
Two Kalpas constitute a Day and a Night (is of equal duration as of Day) of Brahma and here comes the “Cycle of our Universe” i.e. 8.64 billion human years
8.64 Billion year is said to tbe One Life Cycle of Universe |
30 Days of Brahma = 1 month
of Brahma
360 Days of Brahma = 1 Bramha Year
50 years of Bramha = 1 Paradha (Para meaning 100, Adha meaning half)
2 Paradha’s = 100 years of Brahma which is known as 1 “Para” or “Maha-Kalpa” and this is lifespan of the Supreme Lord Brahma.
Also One Day of Brahma i.e. 1 Kalpa is divided into 1000 parts called as “Charan”
Lord Brahma wakes up at the beginning of each Kalpa (i.e. Day) and creates Life in Universe and by the end of his day all living entity is destroyed, only water and the zero blackout spread everywhere for whole Night while Brahma sleeps (rests i.e. yoga-nidra), Again in the morning on beginning of new day Brahma wakes up and the same creation process takes place, this creation and destruction cycles constantly goes on forever.
50 years of Current Lord
Brahma have elapsed. The last Kalpa at the end of 50th year is called Padma
Kalpa. This is the first 'day' of the 51st year. This Brahma's day, Kalpa, is
named as ShvetaVaraha Kalpa(White Boar
Aeon). Within this Day six Manvantaras have already elapsed and this is the
seventh Manvantara and is named as “Vaivasvath Manvantara” (or Sraddhadeva
Manvantara) reigned by Manu named “Vamana”. Within the Vaivasvath Manvantara 27
Mahayugas, and a Krita, Treta and Dwapara Yugas of the 28th Mahayuga have
elapsed. We are at Kaliyuga of the 28th Mahayuga. This Kaliyuga began at
midnight of 17th February / 18th February in 3102 BCE in
the Proleptic Julian Calendar so only 5117 years are passed out of 432,000
years of current Kali Yuga, and hence another 426,883 years are left to
complete this 28th Kali Yuga of Vaivasvath Manvantara. Since 50 years of Brahma
have already elapsed, this is the second Parardha, also called as Dvitiya Paradha.
