SIGNIFICANCE OF NUMBER 9 - SERIES 2

Time passed in current day of Brahma = [6 Manvantras (1840.32) + 27 chaturyugas(116.64)+7 Manvatras Junctures (12.096) + 1Krita yuga(1.728)+1Treta Yuga(1.296)+1Dwapara yuga(0.864) + 5116  years of Kali Yuga (0.005)                                             =1972.949 Million years 

Time remaining in current day of Brahma (1 day time of Brahma-Time passed in current day)                                              = 2347.051 Million years

Age of Current Manu (Vaivasvata)/time passed in current Manvantara 27 chaturyugas(116.64)+7 Manvatras Junctures (12.096) + 1Krita yuga(1.728)+1Treta Yuga(1.296)+1Dwapara yuga(0.864) + 5116  years of Kali Yuga (0.005)                                           = 120.533 Million years

Current age of Brahma and Universe (50 years of Brahma [4.32 x 2 x 30 x 12 x 50=155520 billion ]+ Time passed in current day of Brahma [1.972949 billion])                                                                     = 155.52197 trillion years

Time remaining until end of current Brahma and Universe (1Maha kalpa – current age of Brahma)                         = 155.51803 trillion years

Just like Juncture (sandhaya=interval) yuga sandhi is interval between yugas.  The last 400 years and first 400 years will have mixed traits and qualities of both the Yugas.

And as Brahma’s life consists of 100 such long years, his total lifespan measures up to 311 04 00 000 00000 years by the human time scale. One life-time of a Brahma is known as a ‘Paraa’ and half of it is ‘Paraardham’.

These are not fictitious calculations, but are enshrined in the Bhagavat Gita, with the Lord telling us that the Brahma’s life consists of a thousand Yugas (by divine standards)’

‘Sahasra yuga paryantam aha: yat Brahmano vidu:

Raatri: yuga sahasraantaam te ahoraatra vido janaa:’

The Lifespan of our universe is 311.040 trillion years and this is the time that passes on planet Earth when Maha Vishnu (Para Brahmam) exhales or inhales just once.  When exhales, millions of universe come out from the pores on his gigantic body and when  in hales, all the universe go back into his body.
