Kaalaswaroopan

Bhagavaan is often referred to as Kaalaswaroopan.

 

Let us explore the  Kaalachakram.

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 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 Kaalaswaroopan.

After all this mindboggling 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 have to go beyond devaas to reach Devadeva or Lord of Lords and that is possible only by surrendering ourselves to Him.
