Vedic Hindu cosmology describes the universe as infinite …

with a Life span that is Cyclical in nature.

Just like A phoenix rising from it's ashes ..
There is no end to the life and death cycle of the universe.
It is Infinite + Cyclical. Something else is also Cyclical. TIME !
Vedic India perceives both The Universe and Time to be Cyclical.
As per the ancient texts, the time on earth is spread over a cyclical period called a Maha
Yug (Great Era). 1 Maha Yug consists of 4 Yugs (Eras).
The 4 Yugs (Eras) are :
1st Yug – Satya Yug
2nd Yug – Treytaa Yug
3rd Yug (Era) – Dwaapar Yug
4th Yug (Era) – Kali Yug
Each Yug (Era) runs for a fixed period of time.
TIME ! VEDIC TIME !
To understand the correct duration of each Yug (Era), we must first understand the
comparison of time on earth with time on celestial planes.
Vedic Time on earth is calculated as follows :
1 earth year = 360 earth days
30 earth years = 10,800 earth days
360 earth years = 129,600 earth days
Time on earth compared to the time on Celestial planes is such that :
1 earth year = 1 Celestial day = 360 earth days
30 earth years = 1 Celestial month (30 Celestial days) = 10,800 earth days
360 earth years = 1 Celestial year (360 Celestial days) = 129,600 earth days
Vedic India terms the deity that created the Universe – ब्रह्म दे व – Lord Brahma
And the Universe is therefore known as ब्रह्माण्डम् – BrahmAnda
ब्रह्म Brahma – the creator | अण्डम् Anda – An Egg
In literal terms, it means – the Egg of Brahma or Brahma’s Egg.
Lord Brahma – the creator of the Universe – hails from another World –
Lok as termed in the vedic texts.
Only to name them all – there are 14 Loks as mentioned in the ancient
scriptures. 7 Higher Loks and 7 Lower Loks.

The 7 Higher Worlds are called व्याहृति (VyAhrti)

Realm 1 – सत्य लोक Satya Lok
Realm 2 – िप लोक Tapa Lok
Realm 3 – जन लोक Jana Lok
Realm 4 – महर लोक Mahar Lok
Realm 5 – स्वर लोक Swar Lok
Realm 6 – भु वर लोक Bhuvar Lok
Realm 7 – भु लोक Bhu Lok

The 7 Lower Worlds are called पािाळ ( PAtAl )

Realm 8 – अिळ लोक Atala Lok
Realm 9 – तविळ लोक Vitala Lok
Realm 10 – सु िळ लोक Sutala Lok
Realm 11 – िळािळ लोक TalAtala Lok
Realm 12 – महािळ लोक MahAtala Lok
Realm 13 – रसािळ लोक RasAtala Lok
Realm 14 – पािाळ लोक PatAla Lok

Ancient Vedic texts calculate The Age of the universe in correspondence to

the life span of it’s creator – Lord Brahma

∴ Age of the Universe = Age of Lord Brahma

The Life span of Lord Brahma is of 100 (Brahma) years.

i.e. 100 years in the life of Lord Brahma.
But these 100 Brahma years are not the same like the solar years on earth.
Here we see Time Dilation.
*************************************************************************

We are all familiar with The theory of Relativity.

The theory of Relativity describes Time Dilation as the difference in the
elapsed time measured by two observers, either due to a velocity difference
relative to each other, or by being differently situated relative to a
gravitational field.
In simple words - time runs at a slower rate for an object in motion as
compared to an object at rest. This glitch in time is known as Time Dilation !
Time dilation may be regarded in a limited sense as "time travel into the
future"
One may use time dilation so that a small duration of time passes for them,
while a large duration of time passes elsewhere. This can be achieved by
traveling at relativistic speeds or through the effects of gravity.
In simple words, as you travel faster, time starts running slowly for you.
But this is at a Nano level. It will make a huge difference if you travel close
to the speed of light. If someone is to travel in space, they will have to travel
at the speed of light IF THEY WISH TO BE IN SYNC with their own eon.
More simply put, TIME VARIES from World to World (Celestial planes).

Brahma’s Realm is called the “Brahma Lok”, also known as the “Satya Lok”.
Brahma’s Kingdom is the Brahma Lok / Satya Lok
We are on the 7th Realm – The Bhu Lok
Brahma Lok is 1.87 billion miles above us. It is the highest Realm.
Hence time runs really slowly High up at Brahma Lok.
In half a day of Lord Brahma many trillion years pass on earth
Age of Universe = 100 Brahma Years = How many earth years ?
Stay tuned for the answer – in our next video – Age of the Universe !
Lets find out
Time on earth compared in years to the time on Celestial plane.
1 earth year = 360 earth days = 1 Celestial day
30 earth years = 10,800 earth days = 1 Celestial month (30 Celestial days)
360 earth years = 129,600 earth days = 1 Celestial year (360 Celestial days)
The time on earth is spread over Great (many) Eras (Maha Yugs)
1 Maha Yug (Great Era) comprises of 4 Yugs (Eras)
1st Era – Satya Yug = 4800 celestial years = 1,728,000 earth years
2nd Era – Treytaa Yug = 3600 celestial years = 1,296,000 earth years
3rd Era – Dwaapar Yug = 2400 celestial years = 864,000 earth years
4th Era – Kali Yug = 1200 celestial years = 432,000 earth years

∴ 1 Maha Yug (Great Era) = 4800 + 3600 + 2400 + 1200

= 12,000 celestial years = 4,320,000 earth years

∴ 1 Maha Yug (Great Era) = 4,320,000 earth years

1 Day of Brahma – is called A Kalp (Eon) (1st HALF of Brahma’s Day)

1 Night of Brahma – is also equal to 1 Kalp. (2nd HALF of Brahma’s Day)

∴ 1 day + 1 night of Brahma

i.e. 1 BRAHMA DAY = 2 KALPS (Eons)

1 year of Brahma = 360 Brahma days
360 Brahma days = (360 x 2) = 720 KALPS

∴ 100 Brahma Years = 72,000 KALPS

The Life Span of Lord Brahma is called

“Parardh”or “Maha Kalp” (Great Eon)
Each Kalp has 14 Manwantars (Intervals)
Every Kalp begins with a time period called “Adi Sandhi”
Every Manwantar is followed by a time period called “Sandhi Kaal”
Adi Sandhi has 4 Charans. Sandhi Kaal has 4 Charans

∴ 1 Kalp = 1 Adi Sandhi + 14 Manwantars

= 4 Charans + 14 Manwantars + (14 x 4) 56 Charans
= 60 Charans + 14 Manwantars
4 Charans = 1,728,000 earth years [total time of 1 Satya Yug (1st Era)]
∴ 1 Charan = (1,728,000 ÷ 4)
= 4,32,000 earth years [total time of 1 Kali Yug (4th Era) ]
60 Charans = (6 x 10) Charans
= 6 x (4,320,000 earth years) [total time of 1 Maha Yug (1 Great Era)

∴60 Charans = 6 Maha Yugs

∴ 1 Kalp = 6 Maha Yugs + 14 Manwantars

1 Manwantar comprises of 71 Maha Yugs

∴1 Kalp = 6 Maha Yugs + (14 x 71) 994 Maha Yugs

= 1000 Maha Yugs
1 Kalp = 1000 Mahayugs

∴ 1 Kalp (1 half of Brahma’s Day) = 1000 Mahayugs

∴ 2 Kalps (1 Day + Night of Brahma) = 2000 Mahayugs

1 Maha Yug = 4,320,000 earth years

∴ 2000 Maha Yugs = 8,640,000,000 earth years

∴ 1 Day + Night of Brahma = 8,640,000,000 earth years

1 Brahma Year = 360 Brahma days = (360 x 8,640,000,000) earth years

∴ 1 Brahma Year = 3,110,400,000,000 earth years

∴ 100 Brahma years = 311,040,000,000,000 Earth Years
(311 Trillion 40 Billion earth years)
*************************************************************************

What After the 100 Brahma years ?

Just as we are in the cycle of Birth and Re-birth, it is believed that there is born another
Brahma after the previous one completes his life span of 100 Brahma years.
Another Universe is created. And the cycle continues.
“These 100 Brahma years” is the total Lifespan of a Universe = (311 Trillion
40 Billion earth years)
Vaikuntha or Vishnu Lok is situated beyond the Brahma Lok
Age of Lord Vishnu = (7 x Brahma’s Age) = 2,177,280,000,000,000
2 Quadrillion 177 Trillion 280 Billion Earth Years
SHIV LOK is situated further beyond the Vaikuntha Lok
Age of Lord Shiv = (7 x Vishnu’s Age) = 15,240,960,000,000,000
Shiv’s Age = 49 x Brahma’s Age = 15,240,960,000,000,000 Earth Years
15 Quadrillion 240 Trillion 960 Billion Earth Years

One can only imagine what resides in the interstellar !
