Description |

155.521972
(155.521971961600 in 1998) |
Birth of Brahma, the first kalp
called the Brahm kalp. Brahma meditates and conceives all
the Vedas and Puranas with the Grace of Krishn. His homage to
Krishn at that time is called the Brahm Sanhita. |
|
155.513332 |
The second kalp. Brahma
creates the brahmand, produces the first ten Rishis.
Devas and asuras (gods and demons) are created. They
are called the celestial gods and the demons. The main abodes of
the gods are: bhu, bhuv, swah (the abode of god Indra),
mah, jan, tap and satya (the abode of Brahma). The
general term for the abode of the demons is patal lok
which is below the celestial abodes of gods and near bhu lok.
All these abodes are in a separate space and dimension. Later on
the ozone layer is formed on the earth planet. Brahma produces
Swayambhuva Manu and Shatroopa, the Rishis on the earth planet
conceive the Vedas and Puranas; and gradually the human
civilization develops. (There are 14 manvantars in a
kalp and in every kalp similar Divine historical
events happen. Up till now 18,000 kalpas have already
elapsed. One kalp along with Brahma’s night is 8,640
million years.) |

|
*The Puranas mention more than 50 important
personalities of Surya Vansh who were between Ikchvaku and Bhagwan Ram in
102 million years.
**According to the
“Surya Siddhant” the astrologers
have calculated that kaliyug started on the afternoon of 17th
February, 3102 BC.
In the Bhagwatam, Brahma tells in round figures that
Krishn remained on this earth planet for 125 years.
Accordingly, if you add 125 years to February, 3102, it
comes to February 3227 BC. But Krishn’s descension was in the Rohini
nakchatra (asterism) of the 8th waning moon midnight of bhadon
(August) which is about seven months earlier. Thus, His descension date is
3228 BC and He stayed on the earth planet for 125 years and about 7
months.
