Sanatan Time Cycle

Sanatan Time Cycle


Sanatan Time Cycle


Parmeshwar First Ganapati has created various objects and subjects in the entire Hiranyagarbha according to the mathematical formulas of the speed and position of the celestial bodies. The position of celestial bodies remains the same for all human beings and creatures present on the earth; therefore, it is correct and scientific to calculate the time only on the basis of the movement of celestial bodies.

Time works differently for all living beings and humans. Time is not the same for any substance, living being, or human. The speed of any substance, living being, or human affects its present time. When the speed of any object is high, the duration of time decreases, and when the speed of any object is low, the duration of time increases.

The individual speed of all objects, organisms, and humans is different, but the speed and position of celestial bodies are fixed, so the measurement of time is done only on the basis of celestial bodies.

All celestial bodies keep moving in a cycle. Due to which all celestial bodies start moving from a point and finally come to the same point. The measurement of time is done from the starting point of the celestial body; therefore, the measurement of time is called the time cycle. The point from which time starts finally ends at the same point and starts again from the same point.

The Sanatan time cycle has been created on the basis of the transit of celestial bodies. Due to the continuous movement of the earth and other celestial bodies, the speed and position of all celestial bodies keep changing; hence, the process of error and correction in the calculation of the time cycle continues continuously, but celestial bodies and their parameters are eternal; hence, the calculation of the time cycle done by celestial bodies is eternal.

The Earth takes 1 day to rotate itself 360 degrees. The moon takes 1 month to revolve around the earth. The Earth takes 1 year to revolve around the Sun. The Sun takes 1 yuga to revolve around the Krishna (Black Sphere). The Krishna takes 1 Chaturyuga to revolve around the Shukla (White Sphere). The Shukla takes 1 Manvantara to revolve around the Shubhra (Huge White Sphere). The Shubhra takes 1 Kalpa to revolve around the Vaikuntha (Centre of Hiranyagarbha).

Unit of Time

Gana: The first unit of time is called gana. When 3 gana times pass, that period is called 1 prana. After the death of a human, the mind element leaves in 1 gana time, but the life element leaves the body in 3 gana time, so the 3-gana time period is called 1 prana period.

Pal: When 24 pranas pass this much time, that period is called 1 pal. The normal duration of the entire life of a microorganism is 1 pal; hence, 1 pal is called the unit of lifespan. The duration of 1 pal is equal to 72 ganas.

Hour: When 60 pal pass, that period is called 1 second (kshan). The minimum duration of a human’s life is 1 second. When 60 seconds pass, that period is called 1 minute. When 60 minutes pass, that period is called 1 hour.

Day: The Indian state of Maharashtra defines a day as the period from one sunrise to the next sunrise. The Earth takes 24 hours to rotate itself 360 degrees, so in the Indian state of Maharashtra, it takes 24 hours from one sunrise to the next sunrise. As a result, the duration of a day is approximately 24 hours. In every Nation of the world, the duration of the day can be more or less according to the season and place, but it takes 24 hours for the Earth to rotate on its axis, so the duration of a day is fixed at 24 hours in all countries.

Month: When 2 pakshas pass by, that period is called a month. 2 Pakshas take 30 days to complete. The moon takes 1 month to revolve around the earth. When the moon transits from full moon to new moon, that period is called Krishna Paksha. When the moon transits from new moon to full moon, that period is called Shukla Paksha.

When the sun transits from the Ashwini constellation to the Chitra constellation, then the duration of the month is 31 days, and when the sun transits from the Chitra constellation to the Ashwini constellation, then the duration of the month is 30 days. Due to the change in the distance and position of the sun and the earth, the month becomes 30 or 31 days.

When the creation began and the time cycle started, according to that time, the sun was in the Ashwini constellation and the moon was in the Chitra constellation, due to which there was a full moon date of the moon on earth. The first month was named Chaitra because the moon was in the Chitra constellation on the first full moon. The second month was named Vaishakh because the moon was in the Vishakha constellation on the second full moon. On the third full moon day, the moon was in the Jyeshtha constellation, so the third month was named Jyeshtha.

On the fourth full moon day, the moon was in the Purvashada constellation, so the fourth month was named Ashadha. On the fifth full moon day, the moon was in the Shravan constellation, so the fourth month was named Shravan. On the sixth full moon day, the moon was in the Purvabhadrapada constellation, so the sixth month was named Bhadrapada.

On the seventh full moon day, the moon was in the Ashwini constellation, so the seventh month was named Ashwin. On the eighth full moon day, the moon was in the Krittika constellation, so the eighth month was named Kartik. On the ninth full moon day, the moon was in the Mrigashira constellation, so the ninth month was named Margashirsha.

On the tenth full moon day, the moon was in the Pushya constellation, so the tenth month was named Paush. On the eleventh full moon day, the moon was in the Magha constellation, so the ninth month was named Magha. The twelfth month was named Phalgun due to the moon being in the Uttaraphalguni constellation on the twelfth full moon.

Year: When 12 months pass by, that period is called a year. It takes 1 year for the earth to revolve around the sun. The moon revolves around the earth 12 times in a year. At the beginning of creation, the sun was in the Ashwini constellation, so when the sun transits in the Ashwini constellation, then the year should be considered to start, and the time cycle should be calculated on that basis.

Kumbha Year: When Jupiter transits in the Mrigashira constellation, it is called Kumbha Kaal. The year in which Kumbha Kaal occurs is called Kumbha Year. During Kumbha Kaal, the connection of the incarnation of Earth and Vaikunth is established. All living beings and humans incarnate on Earth from Vaikuntha for the first time only during Kumbha Kaal. It takes 12 years for Jupiter to transit in the Mrigashira constellation after crossing all the constellations; hence, the Kumbha Year comes after every 12 years.

Kumbha Kaal is necessary for incarnation from Vaikunth to Earth. Only and only during Kumbha Year can living beings, humans, and Bhagwan incarnate on Earth from Vaikuntha. Currently, according to the Western unscientific Gregorian calendar, the last Kumbh of the second phase of Kaliyuga was in the year 2025.

Moksha Year: When Saturn transits in a mysterious constellation, it is called Moksha Kaal. The year in which Moksha Kaal occurs is called the Moksha Year. In Moksha Kaal, the connection of incarnation between Earth and Heaven is established. The human who has attained Moksha – that human incarnates from Earth to Heaven in the Moksha year.

It takes 30 years for Saturn to transit in that mysterious constellation after crossing all the constellations; hence, the Moksha year comes after every 30 years. Moksha Kaal is necessary to descend from Earth to Heaven. Only and only in the Moksha year can a human incarnate from Earth to Heaven.

Yuga: When 12,000 years of time pass, that period is called Yuga. The sun keeps revolving around a celestial body called Krishna (black sphere) while revolving on its axis. It takes 1 yuga for the sun to revolve around Krishna (black sphere). In one Yuga, the Earth revolves around the Sun 12000 times. One Yuga is 12,000 years.

There are 4 Yugas, namely Satyug, Tretayug, Dwaparyug, Kaliyug, etc.; the duration of each Yuga is 12,000 years. When Krishna (Black Sphere) transits in Aries, then Satyayug begins. When Krishna (black sphere) transits in Cancer, then Tretayug begins. When Krishna (Black Sphere) transits in Libra, then Dwaparyug begins. When Krishna (black sphere) transits in Capricorn, then Kaliyuga begins. Currently Krishna (black sphere) is transiting in Aquarius; hence Kaliyug is going on.

In Satyug, all 4 pillars of Sanatan Dharma—Dharma, Artha, Kaam, and Moksha, etc.—complete knowledge are present; hence, this yuga is called Satyuga. In Tretayuga, only 3 pillars of Sanatan Dharma—Dharma, Artha, and Kaam—related knowledge are present; hence, this age is called Tretayuga.  In Dwaparyug, only 2 pillars of Sanatan Dharma—Artha and Kaam-related knowledge—are present; hence, this age is called Dwaparyuga. In Kaliyuga, only 1 pillar of Sanatan Dharma, Kaam-related knowledge, is present, and the Satan Kalipurush dominates everywhere; hence, this yuga is called Kaliyuga.

There are 4 phases of a Yuga. One phase is 3000 years. Currently, the third phase of Kaliyuga is starting on 14th April 2025. That means after Maha Kumbh 2025, 6000 years of Kali Yuga will have been completed in April 2025, and now the 6001st year of Kali Yuga is going on.

Chaturyuga: When the period of Satyayug, Tretayug, Dwaparyug, Kaliyug, etc., 4 Yugas, passes, that period is called Chaturyuga. Krishna (black sphere), while revolving on its axis, keeps revolving around Shukla (white sphere), a celestial body. It takes 4 yugas for Krishna (black sphere) to revolve around Shukla (white sphere). In one Chaturyuga, the Sun revolves around Krishna (black sphere) four times. In one Chaturyug, the earth revolves around the sun 48,000 times. One Chaturyug is 48000 years.

Manvantar: When 6 Chaturyugas pass by, that period is called Manvantar. Shukla (white sphere) keeps revolving around Shubhra (huge white sphere), a celestial body, while revolving on its axis. Shubhra (huge white sphere) is a celestial body at the centre of the universe. Shubhra (huge white sphere) is called the centre point of the universe. All the celestial bodies present in the universe keep revolving around Shubhra (huge white sphere) while revolving on their axis.

It takes 24 yugas for Shukla (white sphere) to revolve around Shubhra (huge white sphere). In one Manvantar, the Sun revolves around Krishna (black sphere) 24 times. In one Manvantar, the earth revolves around the sun 288000 times. One manvantar is 288,000 years.

Kalpa: When 4 Manvantaras of Rising, Ancient, Middle, Modern, etc., time pass, that period is called Kalpa. Shubhra (huge white sphere) keeps revolving around a celestial body, Vaikuntha, while revolving on its axis. Shubhra (huge white sphere) takes 4 manvantaras to revolve around Vaikuntha.

Vaikuntha is in the centre of Hiranyagarbha, a celestial body. Vaikuntha is called the centre point of Hiranyagarbha. Shubhra (a huge white sphere) keeps revolving around Vaikuntha, taking the entire universe along with it while revolving on its axis. Shubhra (huge white sphere) takes 1 kalpa to revolve around Vaikuntha. There are 96 Yugas in a Kalpa. In one Kalpa, the earth revolves around the sun 1,152,000 times. One Kalpa is 1,152,000 years.

The 4 Manvantaras are Rising, Ancient, Middle, Modern, etc. When Shubhra (huge white sphere) transits in Aries, then Rising Manvantara begins. When Shubhra (huge white sphere) transits in Cancer, then the Ancient Manvantar begins. When Shubhra (huge white sphere) transits in Libra, then Middle Manvantar begins. When Shubhra (the huge white sphere) transits in Capricorn, then the Modern Manvantar begins.

Presently, the last Kaliyuga of the sixth Chaturyuga of Modern Manvantar is going on. When Shubhra (huge white sphere) transits in Aries, then the duration of 1 Kalpa will be completed and a new Kalpa will begin, and in the new Kalpa, Rising Manvantar will begin.
