Guest guest Posted September 13, 1999 Report Share Posted September 13, 1999 Dear Gurudev, Hare Krishna. Jaya Jagannath Some other questions. 4.4 YUGA: Thereafter, 18 Ahoratra of the Daivachakra or 36 Daivachakra form a Yuga of 4,32,000 Years. This number is based on the Drekkana Division ruled by the Maharishi's (3x12=36). Thus, Kali (ONE) Yuga is 4,32,000 Years, Dwapara (TWO) Yuga is 8,64,000 years, Treta (THREE) Yuga is 12,96,000 years and Kreta (FOUR) Yuga is 17,28,000 years. Ahoratra means 'day and night' in other words. Correct? Another thing which is beyond my scope is: > This number is based on the Drekkana Division ruled by the Maharishi's (3x12=36). What does it mean could you please elaborate on this? 4.5 PADA: Trini-pada-vichakrame Vinur-Gopa-adabhyo (.) Atho Dharmani dharayan (.) Rig Veda ....I can only attempt one lower level (Vedanga) Jyotish interpretation where " The Bha-Chakra or Zodiac is divided into three parts called the Nabhi (occuring in the Sandhi (junction) between the Water and Fire signs). These are the Vishnu-Nabhi and Brahma (Gopa) Nabhi at the two levels of Daivachakra and Chakra respectively. It is on the basis of this inviolable principle that Dharma is established. " On the basis of this we can define two Pada. First , on the basis of the Vishnu Nabhi, is the Daiva-Pada where three Daivachakra are included to give 36,000 Years. Since at this level, Vishnu is one of the 12 Aditya's (Sun's or Diva or Daiva) , the 12 Aditya's give 12 Daiva-Pada's of 36,000 years each which is equal to one yuga (36,000 x 12 = 4,32,000 years). Second, on the basis of the Brahma Nabhi, is the Chakra-Pada where three Chakra's of 120 years each are included to form a Daiva-Varsha or the popularly known " Year of the Gods " of 360 years. Thus, Kali (ONE) Yuga is 1200 Daiva-Varsha , Dwapara (TWO) Yuga is 2400 Daiva-Varsha , Treta (THREE) Yuga is 3600 Daiva-Varsha and Kreta (FOUR) Yuga is 4800 Daiva-Varsha . [From here we use Daiva-Varsha or " Year of the Gods " each equalling 360 earth years as the standard quantum of time]. Could you please elaborate upon the three Nabhis concept. I saw you mentioned it in your books but as it is also beyond my present scope I cannot relate it to anything. Thus it is hard to follow the Pada concept.
