The exact calculations of the age of Brahma and

the existing manvantaraccording to the

Bhagwatam

Absolute age of the earth planet and the sun. Bhagwan Ved Vyas

explains in the Bhagwatam that 155.52 trillion years have passed since

Brahma originally created this planetary system, and this is the present

age of Brahma.

The Bhagwatam says, Brahmas one day equals to 1,000 cycles of the

four yugas (one cycle of four yugas is 4.32 million years). It is called one

kalp. There are fourteen Manus in one kalp. For the same length of

time there is the night of Brahma. This is calledpralaya or kalp pralaya.

At that time the earth planet and the sun along with three celestial

abodes (bhu, bhuvand swah) enter into the transition period (and

become uninhabited). During that period Brahma holds within himself

all the beings of the material and the celestial worlds in a suspendedstate and sleeps. (The next day he again produces them and re-forms

them as they were before.) In this way Brahma lives for twoparardh

(twice of 50 years). After that, there is a complete dissolution of the

brahmand(the planetary system and its celestial abodes). This is called

prakrit pralaya of the brahmand.(Bhag. 12/4/2 to 6)

Half of Brahmas life is calledparardh. Oneparardh is finished and

the existing kalp is in the beginning of the secondparardh (the firstday of the 51st year of Brahma). The very first day of Brahma was the

day when he himself was created by God Vishnu and it was called the

Brahm kalp. The present running kalp is called Varah kalp (or Shvet

Varah kalp).(3/11/33,34,36)

In this kalp six Manus like Swayambhuva Manu etc. have elapsed. The

seventh Manu is the son of Vivaswan. He is the present Manu and is

called Vaivaswat Manu. (8/1/4; 8/13/1)

In the Bhagwat Mahatmya Bhagwan Ved Vyas reveals a great secretand says that this is the 28th dwapar(of Vaivaswat manvantar). Not in

all, but sometimes at the end of the 28th dwaparof a kalp the supreme

personality of God, Krishn, in His absolute loving form descends in the

world on the land of Bharatvarsh and reveals His supremely charming

playful Divine leelas; and that had happened in our age just about 5,000

years ago. (Bhag. Ma. 1/29)

According to the above information, Brahmas age which is also theabsolute age of our sun and the earth planet is: 50 years of Brahma x

720 days and nights x (1,000 x 4.32 million years of the four yugas,

which is one day of Brahma)+ 1,972 million years* (the existing age of

the earth planet) = 155.521972 trillion years.

* One manvantaris: 308.57142 million years. Thus, 1851.4285 (6 manvantar) + 116.6400 (27

cycles of four yugas) + 3.8931 (the three yugas and the elapsed time ofkaliyug) = 1971.9616 in

1998 AD.

One year of Brahma is of 360 days (and one month of Brahma is of 30

days). So, 360 x 50 = 18,000 days and nights of Brahma have elapsed.

Thus, our earth planet and the sun have already been renovated 18,000

times. Its a big figure, but reasonable if you think over it deeply, and

again it is given by an all-knowing Divine personality.
