VISION OF TRUTH

IN VADIC TRADITION

                                        The age of the world is called a" KALPA",and the "KALPA"is called one day of lord "BRAHMA".Then after the dissolutin of the earth,the time of annihilation,(PRALAYA),is called one night of lord "BRAHMA".

So the world lasts for a day and goes back to the creator for a night.

ACCORDING TO MANUSMRITI

                                                    In a different scale of time,the age of the world is 1000 times the total period of four ages,SATYUGA,TRETAYUGA,DWAPARAYUGA,and KALIYUGA.The age of the four yuga is 4320000 years in the human scale and this period is called a "CHATURYUGI"(four ages),and the age of the world then comes to be one thousand chaturyugis,that is,one thousand years of the gods.
