What is Kalpas?
(Mahayugas) 43,20,000 x 1000 years = 4.32 billion human years is one kalpa, 2 such cycle is considerd as 2 kalpas of Lord Brahmas 24 hours.
What are Manvantaras?
Each kalpa (4.32 billion years) got 14 manus (manu is First human)
Our Position- We are located in the 51st Brahma year of our Brahma.
Within that Brahma year, we are in the first Brahma day, called the Varaha kalpa.
Within that Brahma day, we are in the seventh manvantara (Vivashwata Manu - the son of the Sun God whose name is VIVASHWAN), & in the 28th maha yuga of that manvantara. This would place us at about the 454th maha yuga of the 1,000 maha yugas that comprise 12 hrs of Brahma.
Within this maha yuga, we are in Kali Yuga. The present kaliyuga started on Feb 20 of 1 KB or 3102 BC at 2 hours, 27 minutes& 30 seconds. On jan 1/2012 AD a total of 5114 years of kaliyuga would elapsed.
5114 KB is 2012 AD. That means that we are fairly early in Kali Yuga and this age will continue 4,26,886 more years for this yuga to come to an end & the Satyuga would begin once again.
(Vedic Calender is BKB before kaliyugabda & KB Kaliyuga Bda)
