Time - As defined by Vedas
The world exists in one form for a fixed period and then for that very period, it exists only in its material cause. The former is called "Brahma Din" and the latter " Brahma Ratri".
As the Atharva Veda sats, the Brahma Din is equal to 4320,000,000 years.
The Brahma Din is made up of 1000 Chaturyugins (4 Yugs) or Dibyayugs.
Manu says - A Chaturyugins or Dibyayugs means a period of four yus - Satyug, Treta, Dwapar and Kaliyug and consists of 12,000 Dibya years - Satyug consits of 4800, Treta of 3600, Dwapar of 2400 and Kaliyug of 1200 Dibya years.
Now a Dibya year is equal to 360 ordinary years.
Thus,
Satyug = 4800 x 360 = 1,728,000 years
Treta = 3600 x 360 = 1,296,000 years
Dwapur = 2400 x 360 = 864,000 years
Kaliyug = 1200 x 360 = 432,000 years
-------------------------------------------------
A Chaturyugi =. 4,320,000 years
Brahma Din =1000 Chaturyugi = 4,320,000,000 years.
This is the period for which the world will remain in its present form.
According to the Sankalp (from Surya Siddhanta), 6 Manwantras have passed and 7th Manwantras is passing and remaining 7 have still to come.
1 Brahma Din = 14 Manwantras
1 Manwantra = 71 Chaturyugins = 4,320,000 x 71 = 306,720,000
As of this year (2021) :
Total 14 Manwantras
- 6 Manwantras have passed = 306,720,000 * 6 = 1,840,320,000
- 7th Manwantra is active = 306,720,000
- 7 Manwantras are remaining = 306,720,000 * 7 = 2,147,040,000
- Total 71 Chaturyugins = 306,720,000
- 27 Chaturyugi (already passed) = 4,320,000 * 27 = 116,640,000 years
- 28th Chaturyugi ( passed ) = Satyug + Treta +. Dwapar + 5006 years of Kaliyug
- 1,728,000 + 1,296,000 + 864,000 + 5006 = 3,893,006 years have passed
- Total number of years passed in 7th Manwantra = 116,640,000 + 3,893,006 = 120,533,006 years have passed
- 28th Chaturyugi ( still remaining ) = 4,320,000 - 3,893,006 = 426,994 years
- 43 Chaturyugi ( still remaining ) = 4,320,000 * 43 = 1,85,760,000 years
- Total remaining years in 7th Manwantra = 426,994 + 1,85,760,000 = 186,186,994 years
