Time In The Universe

Two kalpas made of brahma's one day and one night. One kalpa for day and one for night.

The day has 14 Manvantaras, and similarly the night has an equal 14 Manvantaras.

Each Manvantaras is make up of 71 Mahayuga.

A Mahayuga is again make up of 10 Yugas, which consist Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dwapara Yuga and Kali Yuga.

Satya Yuga has the length of 4 yugas; Treta Yuga 3 yugas, Dwapara Yuga 2 yugas and Kali 1 yuga.

A kalpa is considered to be 4.32 billion human years (4,320,000,000).

According to the Vedas, we are in the Kaliyuga of the the 28th Mahayuga in the 7th Manvantaras of Brahma's this day. The Vedas also say that the average human life span in each yuga is as follows:

Kali Yuga = 100 years
Dwapara Yuga = 1,000 years
