Absolute age of the earth planet and the sun. Bhagwan Ved Vyas explains in the Bhagwatamthat 155.52 trillion years have passed since Brahma originally created this planetary system, and thisis the present age of Brahma.
The Bhagwatam says, “Brahma’s one day equals to 1,000 cycles of the four yugas (one cycle of fouryugas is 4.32 million years). It is called one kalp. There are fourteen Manus in one kalp. For the samelength of time there is the night of Brahma. This is called pralaya or kalp pralaya. At that time theearth planet and the sun along with three celestial abodes (bhu, bhuv and swah) enter into thetransition period (and become uninhabited). During that period Brahma holds within himself all thebeings of the material and the celestial worlds in a suspended state and sleeps. (The next day he againproduces them and re-forms them as they were before.) In this way Brahma lives for two parardh(twice of 50 years). After that, there is a complete dissolution of the brahmand (the planetary systemand its celestial abodes). This is called prakrit pralaya of the brahmand.” (Bhag. 12/4/2 to 6)
“Half of Brahma’s life is called parardh. One parardh is finished and the existing kalp is in thebeginning of the second parardh (the first day of the 51st year of Brahma). The very first day ofBrahma was the day when he himself was created by God Vishnu and it was called the Brahmkalp. The present running kalp is called Varah kalp (or Shvet Varah kalp).” (3/11/33,34,36)
“In this kalp six Manus like Swayambhuva Manu etc. have elapsed. The seventh Manu is the son ofVivaswan. He is the present Manu and is called Vaivaswat Manu.” (8/1/4; 8/13/1)
In the Bhagwat Mahatmya Bhagwan Ved Vyas reveals a great secret and says that this is the 28thdwapar (of Vaivaswat manvantar). Not in all, but sometimes at the end of the 28th dwapar of a kalpthe supreme personality of God, Krishn, in His absolute loving form descends in the world on the landof Bharatvarsh and reveals His supremely charming playful Divine leelas; and that had happened inour age just about 5,000 years ago. (Bhag. Ma. 1/29)
According to the above information, Brahma’s age which is also the absolute age of our sun andthe earth planet is: 50 years of Brahma x 720 days and nights x (1,000 x 4.32 million years of thefour yugas, which is one day of Brahma)+ 1,972 million years* (the existing age of the earthplanet) = 155.521972 trillion years.
* One manvantar is: 308.57142 million years. Thus, 1851.4285 (6 manvantar) + 116.6400(27 cycles of four yugas) + 3.8931 (the three yugas and the elapsed time of kaliyug) =1971.9616 in 1998 AD.
One year of Brahma is of 360 days (and one month of Brahma is of 30 days). So, 360 x 50 = 18,000days and nights of Brahma have elapsed. Thus, our earth planet and the sun have already beenrenovated 18,000 times. It’s a big figure, but reasonable if you think over it deeply, and again it isgiven by an all-knowing Divine personality.
