🧵 Thread: Ancient Indian Time Calculations 🕰️

Sanatan Dharma doesn’t just speak of spirituality - it gives one of the most detailed frameworks of time measurement in the world, from billions of years to milliseconds.
Let’s dive into this timeless wisdom 👇

1️⃣ Kalpa
A Kalpa = 14 Manvantaras
In modern terms, it equals 4.32 billion years - the lifespan of one day of Lord Brahma. Science now estimates Earth’s age around the same number. Coincidence? Or divine accuracy?

2️⃣ Manvantara
Each Manvantara = 71 Mahayugas
This is the reign of one Manu (cosmic ruler). We are in the 7th Manvantara ruled by Vaivasvata Manu. Each spans millions of years of cosmic evolution & dharmic cycles.

3️⃣ Mahayuga
One Mahayuga = 4 Yugas (Satya, Treta, Dvapara, Kali).
Together = 4.32 million years.
We are in Kali Yuga, the age of decline, lasting 432,000 years. Already 5,100+ years have passed since it began.

4️⃣ Varsha to Paksha
1 Varsha = 1 Year
1 Aayana = 6 Months
1 Ruthu = 2 Months
1 Maasa = 1 Month
1 Paksha = 15 Days
This cosmic calendar aligns with lunar & solar movements, showing how deeply Sanatan Dharma observed nature.

5️⃣ Ahoratra & Yama
1 Ahoratra = 1 Day (24 hours)
1 Yama = 3 Hours
Our ancestors divided time into yamas (watches) for rituals, meditation & life rhythm. Even today, many temples follow Sandhya timings based on this.

6️⃣ Muhurtha to Thruti
1 Muhurtha = 48 Minutes
1 Naadi = 24 Minutes
1 Vinaadi = 24 Seconds
1 Prana = 4 Seconds
1 Thruti = 29 Milliseconds

This precision shows that our Rishis had an atomic understanding of time thousands of years ago - long before modern atomic clocks.

Why it matters
Sanatan Scriptures didn’t just track time, they showed us that life itself is part of a grand cosmic rhythm—from the blink of an eye to the lifespan of Brahma Ji.

Eternal. Infinite. Divine.
