Guest guest Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Dear all, Here is one story about why Brahma is not worshipped like Siva and Vishnu and there are very few temples built for Brahma even though He is the father of the Universe (prapancha pithaavu) Let us think about Time or Kaalam. Kaliyugam lasts for 4,32,000 years Dwapara yugam lasts for 432000 times 2= 864000 years Thretha yugam lasts for 432000 times 3= 1296000 years Krutha yugam lasts for 432000 times 4= 1728000 years Total is chatur yiugam or Mahayugam =4320000 years = 4.32 million years One Manwantharam is 72 chathur yugaas or mahagugaas which is equal to 4.32 times 72 million years , that is 311.04 million years. 14 manwantharas is one day time for Brahma and this is called kalpam which will be 4.35456 billion years. Another 4.35456 billion years is Brahma's night. So one day of Brahma is 8.70912 billion years. And Brahma's life lasts 100 such years. That means we have to multiply 8.70912 billion years with 360 (scriptures use 360 and not 365) and then with 100 to get Brahma's length of life. This will be equal to 317. 89188 trillion years or 317891880000000 human years. Then the cosmic dissolution or Mahapralaya happens and a new Brahma appears from the navel of Vishnu. After all this mind boggling calculation, now let us think about the time span we live! How tiny it is in the kaala chakram? The funny thing is that with out realizing the transient nature of our extremely short life span, we humans are filled with ego or ahamkaaram. Even devaas were not free from ahamkaaram or ego. This does not mean that it is ok to have a little ego for us. No, we ave to go beyond devaas to reach devadeva or Lord of Lords Here is an interesting story about Brahmadevan's ego. Brahma and Vishnu together were travelling for fun through the Universe and one day they found a extremely long lighted pole. The lighted stick was so long that they could not find the beginning or end of the stick. Both of them wanted to know the source and end and they decided to go and look in two different directions. Vishnu took a long time and tried to find the source and came back very tired with out finding the beginning of the pole of light. Brahma also came back, but he had the ego of creation and he did not want to admit that he could not find the end of the stick. So he said that he found where the stick ended (or it can be said as the beginning too). He was lying. Immediately at the end of the lighted pole Shiva appeared and cursed Brahma for lying that he would never be worshipped along with other devaas during pooja ceremonies. That is why we hardly see any poojaas offered to Brahma and very few temples with Brahma as the main deity. Now let us cook some food for meditation or mananam from this story: It is said that any Pravrutthi karma like the act of creation generates ego in to the creator's mind and only with Nivrutthi karma like prayers removes it. So whenever we venture to do anything new, along with the prayers for success of the project, we are advised to pray for a humble attitude of not taking credit for all our achievements. The best manthram for this is kayena vaacha manasendriyaiva budhyaatmana va prakruthae swabhaavaath karomi yadyath sakalam parasmai Naraayanaethi samarpayaami.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Dear Viswanathanji, According to Mahabharahta, Kaliyugam started in 3105 BC, October 13th, Tuesday - Kali was born this day.Total number of years in Kaliyugam is said to be 432,000 years. So from 3105 B.C to 2008 A.D. will be 5112 years or we are in the 5113rd year of Kali. So 426,887 years are left in Kaliyugam and then this chathuryugam ends. According to another calendar Kaliyugam started on at midnight 17 February / 18 February in 3102 BC With this calculation, we have only 426, 884 years left. Thanks for the appreciation. I offer those good words at Guruvayurappan's feet!
