Suryakshetra – 113 (The
ancient Indian Time Calculation)

Quote: 1) To accomplish great
things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
2) Much of the stress that people feel does not come from having too much to do; it comes from not finishing what they started.
2) Much of the stress that people feel does not come from having too much to do; it comes from not finishing what they started.
The modern world knew 365 days a year; and
thereafter century etc. The time
calculation is being done from that upper level to the lower level of a 1/60th
of a minute – a second. Fraction of a
second or much beyond a millennium is not in the modern time calculation. Let us examine how Indian Traditional system
calculated time and let us understand that Ancient Indian calculating methods
are still a million dollar question to modern scientists. It is a fact that “time” is a continuous
process, whether we calculate or ignore.
It was existent, it is, and it will be.
When we
go in search of the calculative methods adopted by ancient Indians, the highest
started as “Kalpa” and total seven “Kalpa” periods is calculated and they are
named as 1) Parthiva Kalpa, 2) Koorma Kalpa, 3) Pralay Kalpa, 4) Ananta Kalpa,
5) Swetavaraha
Kalpa, 6)
Brahma Kalpa, and 7) Savithri
Kalpa.
Each
Kalpa has 14 Manvantaraas and they are 1) Swayambhuva Manvantaram, 2) Swarochi,
3) Uttama, 4) Tamasa, 5) Raivata, 6) Chakshuva, 7) Vaivaswata, 8) Saavarni, 9) Daksha Saavarni, 10) Brahma Saavarni,
11) Dharma Saavarni, 12) Rudra Saavarni,
13) Deva Saavarni, and 14) Indra Saavarni.
Each
Manvantaram has four Yugaas and they are 1) Kruta Yug, 2) Treta Yug, 3) Dwapara
Yug, and 4) Kali Yug. ( The
total length of Kali Yug is 432,000 years; 864,000 for Dwapara Yug; 1,296,000
for Treta Yug; and 1,728,000 years).
Red letter indication is the present period.
Thus
one Manvantaram has 432,000 + 864,000 + 1,296,000 + 1,728,000 years =
TOTAL 4,320,000 years
Each
Yug has seven Sakaas and they are 1) Yudhishtir, 2) Vikrama, 3) Saalivahana, 4) Vijaya, 5) Abhinandana, 6) Naagarjuna, and 7) Kali
Sak. Which means for present time the
span of years 432000 divided by 7 shall be the span for each sak.
This is
further divided into 60 years cycle, and each year into two ayana and six ritu,
each ayana has six months, each month has two fortnights, each fortnight has
fifteen thithis basing on sun and moon cycle, and each fortnight has two weeks,
each week seven days, each day into 60 Ghatika, each Ghatika has 60 Vighatika, and
each Vighatika has 6 prana, each prana has 10 Gurvakshram, each Gurvaksharam
has 27 Nimesham, each Nimesham has 30 Lavam, and each Lavam has 100 Triti means
1 x 30 x 27 x 10 x 6 x 60 x 60
means each day consisting of 24
hours has 1,74,960,000 Triti
period.
As per the Gregorian calendar we follow the
present calculation of day as per minutes and seconds goes up to 1 x 60 x 60 x
24 hours becomes 86400 seconds per day.
Now let
us know how Ancient Indians calculated time.
Each second of us as per present calendar
and day calculation is sub divided by 225
by ancient Indians and the final is reached as Triti which is 1/225 part of a second which means Indians could
reach 225th part of a second long and long ago. Kindly note that 1/225 second is the Pran
Shakti leaving the body making any one dead.
It is surely a meticulous calculation which no other
country could reach. This applies for
both the micro and macro level calculation. Probably it is beyond the scope and knowledge
of modern mathematicians.
All this was being taught to our children till
about 1980s and when gradually children amended themselves for job oriented
education than knowledge oriented education, unfortunately a day has come into
our lives where we are forgetting our ancestor’s greatness and greatness of
Indian Sages.
No
paper, no pen, no laptop, no calculator, no telescope, no periscope, no modern
equipments, still our ancestors could do wonders and over a period of time, we
have fallen into so called modern education leaving all basics and fundamentals
of BRAIN USAGE. We have more or less becomes
machine dependants and it is not known where we are being lead to.
At
least now, parents may educate their children – dusting out the old text books
and give children basic morale and morale related education as well knowledge
base, so that children may use their brain power more efficiently and more
accurately than anyone else on this mother earth. (Recent incident –I purchased two pencils
each costing Rs.2/- and that shop boy took a calculator to find out the total
?.. this is where we are ).
Let us
all salute the great sages of India, the great mathematicians and the great
kings who extended all support to such research in ancient days. They are all great – forever great. We are fortunately great having been the
successors of those great people. Let us
upkeep our greatness and take care of the next generation more carefully and
more diligently.
Quote; 1) Being kind is more
important than being right. Sometimes
people need a caring heart to listen and not a brilliant mind to speak.
2) An unwise person empties his mind every time he opens mouth.
