Introduction Vedas say that before the creation of the universe Lord Vishnu is sleeping in the ocean of all

causes. His bed is a giant serpent with thousands of cobra like hoods. By the way, in the trinity of Creator, Maintainer and Destroyer as mentioned in the vedas, Lord Vishnu is the maintainer. Brahma is the creator and Shiva the destroyer. While Vishnu is asleep, a lotus sprouts of his navel (note that navel is symbolised as the root of creation!). Inside this lotus, Brahma resides. Brahma represents the universe which we all live in, and it is this Brahma who creates life forms. Now take a break here. Vishnu is the personification of the eternal multiverse that exists forever without any beginning or end. Brahma is the personification of our temporary physical universe that was created in the big bang. Brahma is said to have been created from the navel (which is a single point) of Vishnu, described as a lotus blooming out of the navel, much like our big bang universe. Now this universe represented by Brahma is not a permanent universe, it is temporary, Brahma lives for 100 years say the vedas and then dies and then a new universe (Brahma) is born. So as per vedas our universe lives for 100 years. Later we shall see how long each year of Brahma is. For now, brahma represents our universe which has birth and death, a big bang and a big cruch, from a navel singularity. Vishnu represents the eternity that lies beyond our universe which has no birth or death and that which is eternal! Many such universes like ours exist in Vishnu. Vedas say that thousands of brahmas have passed away! In other words, this is not the first time universe has been created. Let us come back to the time measurements now. Brahma lives for hundred years say vedas and we are in the first day of the 51st year of the brahma. A Year of Brahma By the way each year of Brahma has 360 days. And we are in the first day of the 51st year of our current brahma. Vedas also say that Lord Hanuman will be the next Brahma. Well, thats something I have to do some research into later, the more things to think about, the more happy and occupied I am Coming back to a day of the Brahma. Well, there is day and night. Vedas say that during the day Brahma is busy in creation of life and during the night all life he created is absorbed back

into him! So we will be there only for this day of Brahma, which is the first day of his 51st year. But dont feel sad, let me promise you, this is a pretty long day.

A day of Brahma Each day of brahma is called a Kalpa, and this itself is very huge a number. No wonder, ancient Indians had to be perfect in mathematics before going into all these things. A kalpa is made up of brahmas one day and one night. Manvantaras

The day has 14 Manvantaras. Similarly the night has an equal 14 Manvantaras. But then Brahma is resting in the night, so lets get back to the day again. We are in the 7th Manvantara of Brahmas this day, say the vedas. MahaYuga Each Manvantara is made up of 71 Mahayuga. We are in the 28th Mahayuga of this Manvantara say the vedas. A Mahayuga is a collection of 4 Yugas. Maha means giant or huge. The 4 yugas are Satya Yuga (also called Krita Yuga), Treta Yuga, Dwapara Yuga, Kali Yuga. We are in the Kaliyuga of our current Mahayuga say the vedas. Satya Yuga lasts for 40% of its Mahayuga Age of divine where humans need no physical means to exist and are in direct contact with the God Treta Yuga lasts for 30% of its Mahayuga Age where bad deeds start appearing, still there is lot of truth, infact 3/4 of this age is still goodness Dwapara Yuga lasts for 20% of its Mahayuga-Dwapara means after the second, where there are almost equal amount of good and bad Kali Yuga lasts for 10% of its Mahayuga- Kali means Darkness in Sanskrit (not to be confused with Kaali which is godess), no wonder we are in this age Now finally we have reached to a timescale which we can relate to our own years. 1 Kaliyuga = 432000 solar years! A Kaliyuga has the length of one Yuga. So One Mahayuga has 10 Yugas of which four are in Satya Yuga, 3 in Treta Yuga, 2 in Dwapara and 1 in Kali Yuga. So a Mahayuga = 10 times the Kaliyuga i.e 4,320,000 solar years Calculations

Let us do some reverse calculations now to find out the age of the universe as per the vedas. 1 Mahayuga = 4,320,000 years 1 Manvantara = 71 Mahayugas 1 day of Brahma = 14 Manvantaras = 994 Mahayugas Now a small addition here, Vedas also say that before and after each Manvantara there is a gap equivalent to 4 Yugas (Not MahaYugas). So now, 1 day of Brahma = 14 Manvantaras + (15 x 4 Yugas) = 994 Mahayugas + 60 Yugas = 994 Mahayugas + 6 MahaYugas = 1000 So 1 day of Brahma = 1000 MahaYugas = 4,320,000,000 years 1 night is again 1000 MahaYugas = = 4,320,000,000 years 1 Complete day = day + night = 8,640,000,000 years = 8.64 billion years Note that we are in the 7th Manvantara of this day. So let us calculate how many years have passed since today started for Brahma. Step 1: For 6 Manvantaras we have 71x 6 = 426 Mahayugas Step 2: Then we have the gaps between each Manvantara which is 7 x 4 Yugas = 2.8 MahaYugas Step 3: Then we have the current Mahayuga in our Manvantara which is 28th, we are in the last 1/10 of it (Remember Kaliyuga is the last of 4 yugas and spans 1/10 of a Mahayuga). So it is 27.9 Mahayugas. So all put together we have 426+2.8+27.9 = 456.7 Mahayugas have been already spent in current day of Brahma. Approximately 543 more to go before we all are absorbed back into the Brahma Okay so 456.7 in terms of years is 456.7 x 4,320,000 = 1,972,944,456 which is about 2 billion years. Somewhat close to what evolution proposes for life on earth. Age of the Universe Now lets find out the age of our universe as per the vedas. Let us consider the age of the Brahma to be the age of the universe. This is one number which no modern theory can even come anywhere near to it. As we saw earlier a day of Brahma has 2000 MahaYugas (day+night). There are 360 days in a year for Brahma and we are in the first day of 51st year. So far 360 x 50= 18000 days have passed for Brahma This is equivalent to 18000 x 2000 x 4320000 Human Years

In other words 155,520,000,000,000 Human Years Add the current day of Brahma which is 1,972,944,456 Humans Years So as per the vedas, the current age of the universe is 155,521,972,944,456 Years which is about 155,522 billion years !!! Modern day science has been able to predict age of our universe to be only about 15-20 billion years! Moreover Since we are in the first day of 51st year of Brahma, almost equal amout of time has to pass before this universe ends!! So either modern science still has a long way to go in estimating the age of our universe OR the universe mentioned in vedas is the mother of all universes (a multiverse probably) including our own universe !!! More interesting: Vedas also say that the average human life span in each yuga is as follows: Kali Yuga = 100 Years Dwapara Yuga = 1,000 Years Treta Yuga = 10,000 Years Satya Yuga = 1,00,000 Years ! I observed another interesting fact here. Vedas are also implying by this that humans are not limited to planet earth nor to this universe alone. We belong to other Yugas as well where we live a longer life!! More than the length of the life, a greater depth as well Aliens, please come and meet me, wanna discuss a lot, people on earth are busy making money Brahma, please put me in some parallel universe. By the way, universe means one verse, the one verse which created this universe OM The Hindu religion is the only one of the worlds great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite, number of deaths and rebirths. It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond, to those of modern scientific cosmology. Its cycles run from our ordinary day and night to a day and night of Brahma, 8.64 billion years long. Longer than the age of the Earth or the Sun and about half the time since the Big Bang. And there are much longer time scales still. - Carl Sagan, Famous Astrophysicist

Rigveda, one of the four vedas is said to be the worlds most ancient text. In fact, I personally consider all the four vedas to be of the same time, for Rigveda clearly contains references to other vedas as well, for instance in Purusha Sukta. So do other vedas contain references to Rigveda. If the other three vedas were later texts, then there is no possibility for an earlier text to refer to a later text! I wonder why people defy common sense where not necessary (like in this case), but the same people stick to common sense where defying it is necessary (like while understanding relativity or quantum mechanics). Prejudiced common sense, if I may say so ? Anyway, let us come back to the topic of this article. Aliens in Rigveda. One of the hymns that is of interest to us in this case is | || 10.72.1

The first line here talks about the Generations of Gods. The second line is what is more interesting for it says that we might again see the (next) generations of Gods in the future, when these hymns are being recited again! It has to be noted here that, it is not seeing the Gods, it is seeing the future Generations of Gods! If so, where are they now? Seeing in the future means, will they visit us later? From where? A clear indication of the return of aliens! isnt it? Also the other verses in the same hymn mentioned above (10.72) talk about big bang. Make no mistake, they talk about big bang, about how the universe was created first from non-existence, and about the space that was created there-after. It also talks about the creation of a total of 7 stars (called Adityas ) from the primordial matter (which I suspect to be a nebula) called Aditi ! It is to be noted here that Aditi is said to be created even before the Gods were, which is quite correct when we consider Gods to be aliens. Then in the same hymn there is a reference to our Sun saying, Gods discovered Sun who was hidden from them before that! In other words, Gods discovered another far away place i,e our Sun which also consisted of similar life forms! Also there is the mention of an 8th star called Marthanda, which was left behind by Aditi who went to the Gods! Doesnt it indicate another star that was created from the same initial matter but which contained no habitable planets for the Gods to live? Also it is interesting to note that

the Adityas are clearly said to be created from the body of Aditi! Stars are created from a nebula! | || 10.129.6 The above verse is part of the creation hymn in Rigveda which talks about the initial process of creation of the universe. Here again it is quite clearly stated in no uncertain terms that the universe was created first, and then the Gods! It actually says that since the Gods themselves were created after the universe was, who knows about when the universe itself was first created!! Simply amazing revelations there for those who learn Sanskrit and study the vedic texts Which is why I keep providing free advices to people saying, please dont rely on translations. Not even of mine, instead learn Sanskrit for yourself and read these texts. Dont be foolish like Max Muller who called it childish just because he was prejudiced, or because he didnt understand it at all since it was at a time when most of the modernscience was not yet known, and his own Sanskrit knowledge was very minimal! Which is why even I am quite careful when I come across things in these texts which I dont seem to understand. Not knowing is not any kind of authority to say it is wrong
