Recommended Posts

this is my notes.. on hindhu cosmology from wikipedia and some other websites.

read it until lost... i am not saying is it true or false...(becuase i am also in study stage)

 

 

  • as per Hindhu cosmology, Time is Infinite with cyclic universe.
  • Current universe was preceded and will be followed by an infinite number of universes
  • Each Universe last for 4.32 billion years

 

Maha Kalpa

  • Life of Brahma
  • 311.04 trillion years

 

Maha Pralaya

  • Equal length of "life of Brahma"
  • 311.01 trillion years

 

Kalpa

  • Aka a "day of brahma" or "universe". 
  • 4.32 billion years

 

Pralaya

  •  Aka "night of brahma"

 

Manvantara

Further divisions of time are Manvantara

  • Chatur Yuga (aka Maha Yuga)
  • 306.72 million years

 

 

Each Kalpa has 15 sandhya (junctures of great flooding) and 14 Manvantara (age of manu, progenitor of mankind)

Each Manvantara lasting 306.72 million years

Each Kalpa has 1000 chatur yugas

Each Manvantara has 71 Chatur yugas (that means  "no of manvantara" x "no of chatur yugs in manvantara" >  14  x 71 = 994  (some fractions leads to approximate)

Each Chatur Yuga is 4.32 million years and divided in to 4 yugas

  • kruta yuga - (aka sathya yuga)
  • Treta yuga
  • Dvapara yuga
  • Kali yuga

 

Creation and Structure

  • Brahma, the first born and secondary Creator
  • During start of his kalpa, divides the universe in to three later into fourteen LOKAS (planes or realms)
  • First 3 groups are Heavenly, Earthily, Hellish
  • Created the first living entities to multiply and fill the universe.

 

Creation as per Rigveda (Very contradicting and speculating)

  • Hiranyagarbh Suktha - A poem (10.121) states a golden child was born in universe and was the lord, established earth and heaven, then asks but who is the god to whom we shall offer the sacrificial prayers?
  • Devi Suktha - A poem (10.125) states a godess is all, the creator, the created universe, the feeder and lover of the universe.
  • Nasadiya suktha - Apoem (10.129) asks who created the universe, does anyone really know, and whether it can ever be known?

 

Fourteen lokas

In the Brahmanda Purana, as well as Bhagavata Purana (2.5),[20] fourteen lokas (planes) are described, consist of seven higher (Vyahrtis) and seven lower (Patalas) lokas.[21][22]

  1. Satya-loka (Brahma-loka)
  2. Tapa-loka
  3. Jana-loka
  4. Mahar-loka
  5. Svar-loka (Svarga-loka or Indra-loka)
  6. Bhuvar-loka
  7. Bhu-loka (Earth plane)
  8. Atala-loka
  9. Vitala-loka
  10. Sutala-loka
  11. Talatala-loka
  12. Mahatala-loka
  13. Rasatala-loka
  14. Patala-loka

Multiverse

The Hindu texts describe innumerable universes existing all at the same time, some larger than others, each with its own Brahma administrator with a comparable number of heads. Our universe is described as the smallest with a Brahma of only four heads. The Hindu concept of innumerable universes is comparable to the multiverse theory, except nonparallel where individual jiva-atmas (embodied souls) exist in exactly one universe at a time. All universes manifest from the same matter, and so they all follow parallel time cycles, manifesting and unmanifesting at the same time.
