The time (Yuga) calculation - Page 2

Max, that was the main reason for this post. Cronological order of the events is not mentioned in any Puranas. What most of us are reading is the translation of the Sanskrit text, which has passed through many hands & what we have now is much filtered version. the original version can be understood by reading & understanding the Sanskrit text itself. Inspite of posting about the age of the person in Satyuga can be more then 10,000 years, our Mytho knowledge is so little that some of us will still believe the lifespan in Satyuga was simillar to the one in Kaliyuga.

<font color="#9900cc" size="3" face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif">Actually the 2012 end time prediction that you are talking about is based on Mayan Calender and has nothing to do with Hinduism or Kaliyug, people are only propagating it as end of kaliyug bcoz it has gathered much hype and publicity in the western culture so some media houses and opportunists in India are using it to exploit people and gain cheap publicity.</font>

Please see the difference between Satyuga & Treta yuga. Sati & Parvati were in Satyuga. Ram was in the last quarter of Treta yuga. The difference between both the yugas is is very big

Great article, I was also planning for a long time on posting an article on Time calculation in ancient India in this forum but was lingering on due to some personal reasons ... Alright.. I admit, I'm really lazy 😉

Well you have beat me to it, congrats 👏👏

And you have also inspired me, so here is the article I was planning on posting, esp. for you meenaxi:

It is based on an ancient text known as 'Surya Siddhanta'

(Get ready for some Serious Maths) 😃

Hindu Time calculation is based on Lunar Calender, which came into effect after the Kshya Shraap given to Chandrama by Daksha.

1 Lunar Month = 15 Bright days (Shukla Paksh) + 15 Dark days (Krishna Paksh) = 30 Days

12 Months = 360 Days = 1 Human Year

1 human year = 1 Divine day (1 day of Devas)

30 divine days = 1 Divine Month = 30 human years

12 Divine months = 1 Divine Year = 360 Divine days = 360 Human Years

Devas Lifespan = 100 Divine years = 36,000 human years

The calculation of yugas follows the series of 4 : 3 : 2 : 1

so Satya Yug (4) : Treta Yug (3) : Dwapar Yug (2) : Kali Yug (1)

Kaliyug starts with a Dawn (Purva Sandhya = 1 Divine Lifespan) + 10 Divine Lifespans and ends with a Twilight (Uttar Sandhya = 1 Divine Lifespan)

so, Kaliyug = 100 + 1000 + 100 = 1200 Divine years
= 4,32,000 human years = 1 Charana

Going by the above series,

Dwapar Yug = 2 X Kaliyug = 200 + 2000 + 200 = 2400 Divine Years

= 8,64,000 human years = 2 Charanas

Treta Yug = 3 X Kaliyug = 300 + 3000 + 300 = 3600 Divine Years

= 12,96,000 human years = 3 Charanas

Satya Yug = 4 X Kaliyug = 400 + 4000 + 400 = 4800 Divine Years

= 17,28,000 human years = 4 Charanas

1 Mahayug = Satya Yug + Treta Yug + Dwapar Yug + Kaliyug

= 4800 + 3600 + 2400 + 1200 = 12000 Divine Years

= 43,20,000 human years = 10 Charanas

71 Mahayugas = 1 Manvantara (Each Manvantara is ruled by a Manu)

Each manvantara is followed by a Twilight (called Sandhi Kaal) of 4 Charanas

1 Kalpa consists of 14 Manvantaras (each with its own Manu) followed by a Sandhi Kaal and each kalpa starts with a Dawn (called Adi Sandhi) also equal to 4 Charanas

so, 1 Kalpa = 1 Adi Sandhi + 14 Manvantaras + 14 Sandhi Kaal

= 4 Charanas + (14 X 71 Mahayugas) + (14 X 4 Charanas)

= 994 Mahayugas + 60 Charanas

= 994 Mahayugas + 6 Mahayugas

= 1000 Mahayugas = 4,32,00,00,000 human years

2 Kalpa = 1 Brahma Day = 8,64,00,00,000 human years

30 Brahma Days = 1 Brahma Month

12 Brahma Months = 360 Brahma Days = 1 Brahma Year

= 31,10,40,00,00,000 human years (3.1104 trillion human years) 😕

Brahma Lifespan = 100 Brahma Years

1000 Brahma Lifespans = 24 Minutes in 1 Vishnu Day 😲

360 Vishnu Days = 1 Vishnu Year

Vishnu Lifespan = 100 Vishnu Years

1000 Vishnu Lifespans = 24 Seconds of 1 Shiva Day 😳

360 Shiva Days = 1 Shiva Year

Shiva has no lifespan, i.e. he is beyond life and death, he is eternal 😊

Current Date:

As of today, 50 years of Brahma have elapsed and we are in the First Day of the 51st year. Within this Day, 6 Manvantaras have elapsed and we are in the 7th Manvantara (ruled by Vaivasvatha Manu).

Within this Manavantara, 27 Mahayugas, and the Satya, Treta and Dwapar Yugas of the 28th Mahayuga have elapsed. We are in the Kaliyuga of the 28th Mahayuga.

The time elapsed since the current Brahma:

1 Brahma Year = 3.1104 Trillion Human Years

50 Brahma Years = 3.1104 * 50 = 155.52 Trillion Human Years

In the First Kalpa of 1st day of 51st Brahma Year:

1 Adi sandhi + 6 Manvantaras + 6 Sandhi Kaal

= 17,28,000 + (6 X 71 X 43,20,000) + 6 x 17,28,000 = 1.852416 Billion Human Years

In the 7th Manvantara:

27 Mahayugas = 27 x 43,20,000 = 116.64 Million Human Years

In 28th Mahayug:

Satya Yug + Treta Yug + Dwapar Yug = 17,28,000 + 12,96,000 + 8,64,000 = 3.888 Million Human Years

The current Kaliyug began at Midnight of 17 Feb - 18 Feb, 3102 BC

So, In current Kaliyug:

3102 + 2012 = 5114 human years

So the total time elapsed since current Brahma is

155.52 Trillion + 1.852416 Billion + 116.64 Million + 3.888 Million + 5114

= 15,55,21,97,29,49,114 Years have passed since the dawn of time

Phew!!!! that was a Looong calculation 🤪

Thanks for reading

Anyway, number of years left in current Kalyug is

432,000 - 5114 = 426,886

And Kalyug should end on

432,000 -3102 = 428,898CE

In other words, in the year 428,898CE, Kalki should have completed his work, and Bali's Manvantara should start, right?
