Ram Setu - Age !
by Pritish Nagaraj on Sep 24, 2007 08:09 AM

The four ages (Yugas)
The four yugas equal one yuga-cycle (divya-yuga)

Satya-yuga: 1,728,000 years
Treta-yuga: 1,296,000 years
Dvapara-yuga: 864,000 years
Kali-yuga: 432,000 years
An age of Manu (manvantara)
The life of Manu = 71.35 yuga-cycles i.e. 308,232,000 years

We are now in the 28th yuga-cycle of the current Manu, Vaivasvata.

Fourteen Manus rule in one day of Brahma

Vaivasvata is the seventh Manu in this day of Brahma.

A day of Brahma
= 1000 yuga-cycles

One year of Brahma = 360,000 yuga-cycles

The life of Brahma = 36 million yuga-cycles
= the life of the universe
= 311,040,000,000,000 years.

Shri Ram descended almost at the end of Thretha yug... so there you go... any more q's ?

BTW these details are from Shrimad Bhagawatam - Author Vyasadev, who is also the author of 4 Vedas !
