Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 OM Zach Rymill Below is the Hindu division of time" 1 nimesha, or blink = (0.088) 18 nimeshas = 1 kashtha (1.6 seconds) 2.5 kashthas = 1 shvasa or breath (4 seconds) 6 shvasas = 1 pala (24 seconds) 2 palas = 1 kala (48 seconds) 30 kalas = 1 ghati (24 minutes) 2 ghatis = 1 muhurta (48 minutes) 30 muhurtas = 1 full day (24 hours) 15 full days = 1 paksha or fortnight 2 pakshas = 1 masa or month 6 masas = 1 ayana or solstice (the summer solstice is divine dawn. the winter solstice is divine dusk) 2 ayanas = 1 varsha or year 432,000 varshas = 1 Kali yuga or iron age 864,000 varshas = 1 Dvapara Yuga or copper age 1,296,000 varshas = 1 Treta Yuga or silver age 1, 728,000 varshas = 1 Satya Yuga or golden age 4,320,000 varshas = 1 Maha Yuga or Great Age (Kali Yuga + Dvapara Yuga + Treta Yuga + Satya Yuga) 1,000 Mahayugas = 1 Day of Brahma or Kalpa (4,320,000,000 varshas) (a night of Brahma is equally long) 8,640,000 varashas = 1 full day of Brahma or Cosmic Day 360 Cosmic Days = 1 Cosmic Year or 1 year of Brahma 100 Cosmic Years = the life span of Brahma After 1 Day of Brahma, all forms of life of earth are destroyed in floods. This is Pralaya. During the Night of Brahma there is no life, all remains submerged. After 1 life span of Brahma, Maha Pralaya occurs and the universe is dissolves.
