Guest guest Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Dear all, I read in the early sixties a book, where the author, Late Radhanath Phukan, was explaining from relaiivity point of view, how time goes slow in Deva-loka and slower still in the Brahma-loka etc. I don't have the book with me to give further details so if you do not agree you can forget about it. In that book the author had also given an example that in the Satya-yuga the king Revata had many sons and one very accomplished daughter named Revati. He could not find any suitable groom for her and for that reason he went to Brahma-loka to seek the advice of Lord Brahma. Lord Brahma was busy witnessing a music program at that time and Revata had to wait a while. After the program was over Revata ask Lord Brahma as to who would be the suitable groom for his daughter. Lord Brahma told him to rush to the Earth as during the short time he stayed in the Brahma-loka the Satya-yuga and Treta-yugas were already over on the earth and the Dwapara-yuga was also about to end. On Lord Brahma's advice he gave Revati in marriage to Balarama. That is how it is easy to understand the statement that one year of Deva, ie. Devaanaam varsha, equals 360 years of man and that Devaanaam varsha is different from Divyavarsha, ie. the Sidereal Solar year, the latter being applicable to us on the earth.. Regards, Sunil K.
