Pages in category "One Thousand Yuga Cycles"
The following 25 pages are in this category, out of 25 total.
F
- Forty-three lakhs of years multiplied by one thousand becomes one day of Brahma. So forty-three lakhs thousand times, add another forty-three lakhs thousand times - this is the period after which Krsna comes
- 4 yugas, rotating a 1000 times, comprise 1 day of Brahma, the creator god, & the same number comprise 1 night. Brahma lives 100 of such "years" & then dies. These "100 years" by earth calculations total to 311 trillion & 40 million earth years. BG 1972 p
O
- O King Pariksit, I (Sukadeva Gosvami) have now described to you the fourteen Manus appearing in the past, present and future. The total duration of time ruled by these Manus is one thousand yuga cycles. This is called a kalpa, or one day of Lord Brahma
- One day of Brahma is called a kalpa. A yuga, or maha-yuga, consists of 4,320,000 years, and one thousand such maha-yugas constitute one kalpa
- One thousand yugas equals one day of Brahma. The duration of Brahma's life is extremely great, and consequently it was impossible for Hiranyakasipu to occupy that post
- One yuga covers 4,300,000 years. This number multiplied by one thousand is calculated to be twelve hours of Brahma on the planet Brahmaloka
- Outside of the three planetary systems (Svarga, Martya and Patala), the four yugas multiplied by one thousand comprise one day on the planet of Brahma. A similar period comprises a night of Brahma, in which the creator of the universe goes to sleep
S
- Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura points out that according to the Bhagavad-gita, Brahma’s day and Brahma’s night are periods of solar years expanding to 4,300,000 multiplied by 1,000
- Sutapa was the son of Brahma, and as we have already understood from Bhagavad-gita (BG 8.17), one day of Brahma equals many millions of years according to our calculation - sahasra-yuga-paryantam ahar yad brahmano viduh
T
- The age of Brahma is calculated in terms of divya years, which are distinct from the solar years of human beings. The divya years are calculated in Bhagavad-gita (BG 8.17). Brahma's one day is equal to one thousand times the aggregate of the four yugas
- The duration of Lord Brahma's life is stated in Bhagavad-gita: sahasra-yuga-paryantam ahar yad brahmano viduh (BG 8.17). Even the duration of one day, or twelve hours, of Brahma is 4,300,000 years multiplied by one thousand
- The duration of one day of Brahma is one thousand times greater than the four yugas, aggregating 4,320,000 years. Similarly, Brahma's one night. Brahma lives for one hundred years of such days and nights
- The duration of the material universe is limited. It is manifested in cycles of kalpas. A kalpa is a day of Brahma, and one day of Brahma consists of a thousand cycles of four yugas or ages: Satya, Treta, Dvapara, and Kali. BG 1972 purports
- The four yugas are calculated in terms of the heavenly calendars and accordingly are twelve thousand years in terms of the heavenly planets. This is called a divya-yuga, and one thousand divya-yugas make one day of Brahma
- The lifetime of Brahma, who lives on the highest planet, is stated in Bhagavad-gita (8.17): sahasra-yuga-paryantam ahar yad brahmano viduh. We cannot calculate even twelve hours of Brahma with our mathematical figures, but even Brahma has to die
- The Lord lay down for four thousand yuga cycles in His internal potency, and by His external energy He appeared to be sleeping within the water
- The total duration of the four yugas is 4,300,000 years, and when that is multiplied a thousand times, it equals twelve hours in the life of Brahma
W
- We get an idea of Brahma's day from the following statement of the Bhagavad-gita: "By human calculation, a thousand yuga cycles taken together is Brahma's one day. And such also is the duration of his night."
- We may calculate Brahma's month and year (Brahma's one day equals 1,000 yugas, each yugas consists of 4,300,000 years, similarly he has night of 1,000 yugas) but even Brahma, who lives for millions and millions of years (dvi-parardha-kala), also must die
- Within one day's duration of the life of Brahma (which is calculated by our solar year as 4,300,000 x 1,000 years) there are fourteen Manus
