The real age of current Earth according to Hinduism is 155.521972 Trillion years.........!

Hinduism:
Age of the Earth according to Vedic Chronology

155.521972 Trillion years......?


According to Vedic chronology, Hinduism describes the age of the earth in detail. Details c
an be found in the Bhagwat Maha Purana or Bhagwatam. 
Our earth is part of a material manifestation called a brahmanda, a group of interrelated but separate regions or abodes called lokas, each conditioned by its respective quality of material time and space. In other words, what would be equivalent to one year in one of these lokas may be correspond to 12,000 of our earth years.

Most of our brahmandais subtle and imperceptible to us. Our earth planet is part of this configuration. A brahmanda is basically comprised of one planetary system with an earth inhabited by living beings, a sun and the above described regions.
According to the chronology of Hinduism, the divine personality who creates this with God's grace and who oversees it is called "Brahma" (the creator). This is a seat or position located in the subtle or celestial regions of a brahmanda (Brahma - name of the creator), anda - his spherical creation, literally 'egg'.)
In one galaxy, there is an inestimable number of brahmandas (earth planet + other interrelated and subtle abodes) and their corresponding Brahmas.

"The Hindu religion is the only one of the world's 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."

"A millennium before Europeans were willing to divest themselves of the Biblical idea that the world was a few thousand years old, the Mayans were thinking of millions and the Hindus billions."

Dr. Carl Sagan, (1934-1996) famous astrophysicist  

How old is the earth? 

The earth came into existence with Brahma and will exist as long as he does. As long as Brahma lives, his creation continues to exist. When his term ends, this brahamanda will enter into absolute dissolution.

In between, there are periodic episodes of dissolution and creation of a lesser order, in which the earth enters a period of dormancy, when all life ends, but is again restored. Brahma is the personality that observes and maintains this schedule.

A soul incarnates in a particular brahmanda and remains there until its end. After this, that soul will enter another brahmanda. This has happened eternally for all the souls and will continue eternally. Only the soul who becomes liberated from maya is exempted from this.
We can calculate the age of the earth from the age of Brahma. The Vedic chronology of Hinduism uses a base unit of calculation called a chaturyugi. This is comprised of 4 yugas (periods of time). 

Their lengths and corresponding names are:

1,728,000 years = Sathyam yugam
1,296,000 = treta yugam
864,000 = dwaparai yugam
432,000 = kali yugam

4,320,000 years = one charturyugams (one 4-yugam cycle)

1000 Chaturyugam = one day of Brahma
1000 Chaturyugam = one night of Brahma
8,640,000,000 years = one full day (24 hours) of Brahma
100 celestial years = age that Brahma lives to
50 celestial years = Brahma's current age, or,
155.521972 Trillion years = the current age of this earth


The exact calculations of the age of Lord Bramman and the existing manvanthar according to the Bhagawatam.



Absolute age of the earth planet and the sun. Vedha Vhiyasam 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, “Lord Bramman’s 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 called pralaya or kalp pralaya. At that time the earth planet and the sun along with three celestial abodes (bhu, bhuv and 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 suspended state and sleeps. (The next day he again produces them and re-forms them as they were before.) In this way Brahma lives for two parardh(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 Brahma’s life is called parardh. One parardh is finished and the existing kalp is in the beginning of the second parardh (the first day 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 Brahma kalpam. The present running kalpam is called Varah kalpam (or Shvet Varah kalpam).”(3/11/33,34,36)

“In this kalpam six Manus like Swayambhuva Manu etc. have elapsed. The seventh Manu is the son of Vivaswan. He is the present Manu and is called Vaivaswata Manu.” (8/1/4; 8/13/1)

In the Bhagwat Mahatmya Bhagwan Ved Vyas reveals a great secret and says that this is the 28th dwapar (of Vaivaswat manvantar). Not in all, but sometimes at the end of the 28th dwapar of a kalpam the supreme personality of God, Krishna, 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, Bramman’s age which is also the absolute age of our sun and the earth planet is: 50 years of Brammans x 720 days and nights x (1,000 x 4.32 million years of the four yugas, which is one day of Brammans) + 1,972 million years* (the existing age of the earth planet) = 155.521972 trillion years.

* One manvantar is: 308.57142 million years. Thus, 1851.4285 (6 manvantar) + 116.6400 (27 cycles of four yugams) + 3.8931 (the three yugams and the elapsed time of kaliyugam) = 1971.9616 in 1998 AD.


One year of Bramman is of 360 days (and one month of Brahma is of 30 days). So, 360 x 50 = 18,000 days and nights of Bramman have elapsed. Thus, our earth planet and the sun have already been renovated 18,000 times.
