What Vedas say about the age of the Universe Thanks to the blog visitor who invoked enough curiosity in me to crack down the age of the universe according to the vedas. Here is the result of the research I did over the internet and dug up through some text material I had, to find the accurate meaning of time measurements specified in the vedas. Introduction Vedas say that before the creation of the universe Lord Vishnu is sleeping in the ocean of all causes. His bed is a giant serpent with thousands of cobra like hoods. By the way, in the trinity of Creator, Maintainer and Destroyer as mentioned in the vedas, Lord Vishnu is the maintainer. Brahma is the creator and Shiva the destroyer. While Vishnu is asleep, a lotus sprouts of his navel note that navel is symbolised as the root of creation. Inside this lotus, Brahma resides. Brahma represents the universe which we all live in, and it is this Brahma who creates life forms. Now take a break here. Vishnu is the personification of the eternal multiverse that exists forever without any beginning or end.

Brahma is said to have been created from the navel which is a single point of Vishnu, described as a lotus blooming out of the navel, much like our big bang universe. Now this universe represented by Brahma is not a permanent universe, it is temporary, Brahma lives for 1. Brahma is born. So as per vedas our universe lives for 1. Later we shall see how long each year of Brahma is. For now, brahma represents our universe which has birth and death, a big bang and a big cruch, from a navel singularity. Vishnu represents the eternity that lies beyond our universe which has no birth or death and that which is eternal Many such universes like ours exist in Vishnu. Vedas say that thousands of brahmas have passed awayIn other words, this is not the first time universe has been created. Let us come back to the time measurements now.

A Year of Brahma By the way each year of Brahma has 3. And we are in the first day of the 5. Vedas also say that Lord Hanuman will be the next Brahma. Well, thats something I have to do some research into later, the more things to think about, the more happy and occupied I am. Coming back to a day of the Brahma. Well, there is day and night. Vedas say that during the day Brahma is busy in creation of life and during the night all life he created is absorbed back into him So we will be there only for this day of Brahma, which is the first day of his 5. But dont feel sad, let me promise you, this is a pretty long day. A day of Brahma Each day of brahma is called a Kalpa, and this itself is very huge a number. No wonder, ancient Indians had to be perfect in mathematics before going into all these things. A kalpa is made up of brahmas one day and one night. Manvantaras. The day has 1. Manvantaras. Similarly the night has an equal 1. Manvantaras. But then Brahma is resting in the night, so lets get back to the day again. We are in the 7th Manvantara of Brahmas this day, say the vedas. Maha. Yuga Each Manvantara is made up of 7. Mahayuga. We are in the 2. Mahayuga of this Manvantara say the vedas. A Mahayuga is a collection of 4 Yugas. Maha means giant or huge.

We are in the Kaliyuga of our current Mahayuga say the vedas. Satya Yuga lasts for 4. Mahayuga Age of divine where humans need no physical means to exist and are in direct contact with the God. Treta Yuga lasts for 3. Mahayuga Age where bad deeds start appearing, still there is lot of truth, infact 34 of this age is still goodness. Bhagavadgita As It Is, Complete Edition.

Due to its presence in the Mahabharata, the Bhagavad Gita is classified as a Smriti text or that which is remembered. Download Cygwin For Windows 2008 R2 64 Bit. The smriti texts of the period between 200 BCE. Dwapara Yuga lasts for 2. Mahayuga Dwapara means after the second, where there are almost equal amount of good and bad. Kali Yuga lasts for 1. Mahayuga Kali means Darkness in Sanskrit not to be confused with Kaali which is godess, no wonder we are in this age. Now finally we have reached to a timescale which we can relate to our own years. Kaliyuga 4. 32. A Kaliyuga has the length of one Yuga. So One Mahayuga has 1. Yugas of which four are in Satya Yuga, 3 in Treta Yuga, 2 in Dwapara and 1 in Kali Yuga. So a Mahayuga 1. Kaliyuga i. Calculations Let us do some reverse calculations now to find out the age of the universe as per the vedas. Joker Hc 2008. Mahayuga 4,3. 20,0. Manvantara 7. 1 Mahayugas. Brahma 1. 4 Manvantaras 9. Mahayugas. Now a small addition here, Vedas also say that before and after each Manvantara there is a gap equivalent to 4 Yugas Not Maha. Yugas. So now, 1 day of Brahma 1. Manvantaras 1. Yugas 9. Mahayugas 6. Yugas 9. Mahayugas 6 Maha. Yugas 1. 00. 0So 1 day of Brahma 1. Maha. Yugas 4,3. Maha. Yugas 4,3. Complete day day night 8,6. Note that we are in the 7th Manvantara of this day. So let us calculate how many years have passed since today started for Brahma. Step 1 For 6 Manvantaras we have 7. Mahayugas. Step 2 Then we have the gaps between each Manvantara which is 7 x 4 Yugas 2. Maha. Yugas. Step 3 Then we have the current Mahayuga in our Manvantara which is 2. Remember Kaliyuga is the last of 4 yugas and spans 11. Mahayuga. So it is 2. Mahayugas. So all put together we have 4. Mahayugas have been already spent in current day of Brahma. Approximately 5. 43 more to go before we all are absorbed back into the Brahma. Okay so 4. 56. 7 in terms of years is 4. Somewhat close to what evolution proposes for life on earth. Age of the Universe Now lets find out the age of our universe as per the vedas. Let us consider the age of the Brahma to be the age of the universe. This is one number which no modern theory can even come anywhere near to it. As we saw earlier a day of Brahma has 2. Maha. Yugas daynight. There are 3. 60 days in a year for Brahma and we are in the first day of 5. So far 3. 60 x 5. Brahma. This is equivalent to 1. Human Years. In other words 1. Human Years. Add the current day of Brahma which is 1,9. Humans Years. So as per the vedas, the current age of the universe is 1. Years which is about 1. Modern day science has been able to predict age of our universe to be only about 1. Moreover Since we are in the first day of 5. Brahma, almost equal amout of time has to pass before this universe endsSo either modern science still has a long way to go in estimating the age of our universe. ORthe universe mentioned in vedas is the mother of all universes a multiverse probably including our own universe More interesting Vedas also say that the average human life span in each yuga is as follows Kali Yuga 1. Years. Dwapara Yuga 2. Years. Treta Yuga 3. Years. Satya Yuga 4. Years I observed another interesting fact here. Vedas are also implying by this that humans are not limited to planet earth nor to this universe alone. We belong to other Yugas as well where we live a longer life More than the length of the life, a greater depth as well. Aliens, please come and meet me, wanna discuss a lot, people on earth are busy making money. Brahma, please put me in some parallel universe. By the way, universe means one verse, the one verse which created this universe OMThe Hindu religion is the only one of the worlds great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite, number of deaths and rebirths. It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond, to those of modern scientific cosmology.
