Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Hari OM! OM Amriteswariye Namaha! Blessed Ones, See the time period we are living at is Kaliyuga. Just for our knowledge. The realized persons knows that they are Brahman! the immutable supreme Being. A note on the time-scale of Brahma's Days and nights: (by Swami Sivananda) Dvapara Yuga = 432,000 Years Tretayuga (= twice Dvapara Yuga) 864,000 years Kritayuga (=thrice Dvapara yuga) 1,296,000 years Kaliyuga (=four times Dvapara Yuga) 1,728,000 years The four yugas add up to a Mahayuga = (1+2+3+4=10 times Dvapara yuga) comprised of 4,320,000 years 71 such Mahayugas with an additional Sandhya, at the close of 1,728,000 years make one Manvantrara of 308,448,000 14 such Manvantaras with another Sandhya, at the close of 1,728,000 years constitute one Kalpa of 4,320,000,000 (1000 maha yugas) Two Kalpas make a day and night of Brahma of 8,640,000,000 (2000 Maha Yugas) 360 such days and nights make one year of Brahma consisting of 3,110,400,000,000 100 such years constitute His lifetime of 311,040,000,000,000 The world is absorbed in the Avyakta or the Unmanifested or Mulaprakriti during the cosmic Pralaya (involution of the world). Just as the tree remains in a latent state in the seed, so also this whole universe remains in a latent state in a latent state in a seed- form in the Mulaprakriti during Pralaya. This is the night of Brahma. This is the cosmic night. Again the world is projected at the beginning of the Mahakalpa (evolution). There comes the cosmic dawn or cosmic day. This eternal rhythm of cosmic day and night (evolution and involution) is kept up in the macrocosm. Nothing that comes under this ever-revolving wheel of cosmic day and night lasts for ever. That is the reason why the seers of the Upanishads, the sages of Yore, lived in the transcendental Supreme being, the imperishable Self, the indestructible Purusha, the supreme goal of life, the highest end of man, which is beyond the cosmic day and night. Just as the seeds that are fried can hardly germinate, so also those who have attained to the imperishable Brahman, the Absolute, the Eternal, cannot return to this world of sorrow, pain and misery. They know neither day nor night. They are one with Existence Absolute. The manifested and the unmanifested dwell in Brahman. Brahman is beyond the manifested and the unmanifested. When the world and the body are destroyed Brahman is not destroyed. The waves come out and subside, but the ocean remains unaffected. So also the worlds come and subside, but Brahman the source of everything, the source of Mulaprakriti, ever remains unaffected. Just as ornaments come out of gold and then go back to gold when they are melted, so also all the worlds come out of Brahman and go back to Brahman. Gold is in no way affected by the various forms such as earrings, bracelets, anklets, etc., that have been made of it. Even so Brahman is not in the least affected by the projection and destruction (dissolution) of the words and the bodies of beings. It remains always as It is. Om Nama Shivaya! With Love & OM!

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Hari Bol The period of kaliyuga should be lesser than other yugas. I heard that kaliyuga runs for 400,000+ years .
