Concept of Time Division in Ancient India
Time division in Ancient India was measured to the least possible fraction of a second
The smallest measurable unit of time is Parmanu.
Time calculation and divisions (as described in Manu Smriti and Vedas) in Ancient India 👇
Paramāṇu (atom)=ca. 16.8 µs
Aṇu = 2 Paramāṇu=ca. 33.7 µs
Trasareṇu (particles observed in sun light) =3 Aṇu =ca. 101 µs
Truṭi=3 Trasareṇuca. 1/3290 s = ca. 304 µs
Vedha=100 Truṭi=ca. 30 ms
Lava=3 Vedha=ca. 91 ms
Nimeṣha (blink of eye) =3 Lava=ca. 0.273 s 👇
Kṣhaṇas= 3 Nimeṣa= 0.82 s
Kāṣṭhās= 5 Kṣhaṇa=ca. 4.1 s
Laghu= 15 Kāṣṭhā=ca. 1 min
Nāḍika= 15 Laghu=ca. 15.3 min
Daṇḍa Muhurta= 2 Daṇḍa=ca. 30.7 min
Yāma = 7.5 Muhūrta day(light)
4 praharas or 4 yamas night
day8 yamas = 1 day(light) + 1 night👇
15 such days = 1 Paksha (fortnight)

This Paksha (brigher lunar cycle) is day for Pitrus (departed ancestors) and darker lunar cycle is their night.

2 Paksha = 1 Maasa (month)
6 Maasa = 1 Ayanam
2 Ayanam = 1 Year👇
Here, Uttarayanam (Between 15 January – 15 July, when sun rises inclined towards north-east) is said to be day for Gods and Dakshinayanam (remaining 6 months when sun rises inclined towards south-east) is said to be their day.
👇
That is how, human year is equivalent to 1 day in Gods
An epoch or a yuga is the next higher level of measurement. 1200 Deva years constitute the Kaliyuga or the present epoch that we are believed to be living in; 2400 deva years make up the Dwapara yuga that preceded kali yuga👇
; 3600 years made up the Treta yuga and 4800 the Krita yuga respectively.
Thus, the length of the Kaliyuga is 1200*360 i.e. 432,000 human years.
A cycle of 4 yugas is referred to as the Maha Yuga. A cycle of Maha yugas lasts for 12,000 deva years or 12,000* 360 i.e. 4,320,000 👇
human years.
For higher calculations : Refer to Age of Universe and Brahma

Lifetime of one Brahma is known as ‘Para‘ and it is divided into two halves, each called as "Parardham"
Right now, we’re in dwitiya parardham (2nd half of current brahma’s lifecycle).
He has completed 👇
50 years of age and entered 1st day of his 51st year.
In that 1st day (kalpa), it is Sweta Varaha Kalpa, Vaivasvata Manvantara (7th out of 14), 28th Maha Guya (out of 71), 1st quarter of Kali Yuga, in which 5113 years have passed so far.

There are four levels of experiencing deep connection with the Divine.

1. Saamipya
It means to feel that we are very close and very dear to the Divine. Now when will you get this experience? Will you feel this closeness tomorrow, day after tomorrow, 10 days
later or a few months later? No! Right now, in this very moment, just feel that you are very close to the Divine. This is what a Guru does. A Guru helps you feel that closeness with the Divine.
2. Saanidhya

Saanidhya means to feel or invoke the presence of the Divine. When you meditate, you become aware of the existence of the Divine; you experience the presence.
For example, we are enveloped by the air at all times but we do not always feel its presence. When you

श्री राम का घर छोड़ना एक षड्यंत्रों में घिरे राजकुमार की करुण कथा है और कृष्ण जी का घर छोड़ना गूढ़ कूटनीति।

राम जो आदर्शों को निभाते हुए कष्ट सहते हैं, कृष्ण षड्यंत्रों के हाथ नहीं आते, बल्कि स्थापित आदर्शों को चुनौती देते हुए एक नई परिपाटी को जन्म देते हैं।
श्री राम से श्री कृष्ण हो जाना एक सतत प्रक्रिया है....
राम को मारिचि भ्रमित कर सकता है, लेकिन कृष्ण को पूतना की ममता भी नहीं उलझा सकती।

राम अपने भाई को मूर्छित देखकर ही बेसुध बिलख पड़ते हैं, लेकिन कृष्ण अभिमन्यु को दांव पर लगाने से भी नहीं हिचकते।

राम राजा हैं, कृष्ण
राजनीति...राम रण हैं, कृष्ण रणनीति...
राम मानवीय मूल्यों के लिए लड़ते हैं, कृष्ण मानवता के लिए...

हर मनुष्य की यात्रा राम से ही शुरू होती है और समय उसे कृष्ण बनाता है।
व्यक्ति का कृष्ण होना भी उतना ही जरूरी है, जितना राम होना..
लेकिन राम से प्रारंभ हुई यह यात्रा तब तक

Unknown Facts of Ramayan Black Cave Wormhole in Ramayana used as Transportation System across Space and Time.
During last century, scientist Albert Einstein considered the possibility of using wormholes as potential roadways for time and space travel.
But,
Ancient Indian epic poem ‘Ramayana‘ has described a scene where transportation into another world or timezone was done through a black cave, which acted as a worm hole. A wormhole, also known as an Einstein–Rosen bridge, is a hypothetical topological feature of spacetime that
would be fundamentally a “shortcut” through spacetime.
A wormhole is much like a tunnel with two ends each in separate points in spacetime. In Kishkinda Kanda (Sarga 50-52) of Ramayana, sage Valmiki describes a situation where Hanuman, Angada and other Vanaras overstayed at Mount
