COSMOS THE BODY OF GOD: ISA PURUSHA TATVA<br />
M.M.NINAN<br />
1 Maha Yuga = 12,000 * 360 = 4,320,000, i.e. 4.32 Million solar years<br />
1 Kalpa is made-up <strong>of</strong> 1,000 Maha Yugas = 4,320,000,000, i.e. 4.32 Billion solar years. One Kalpa is<br />
only half a day <strong>of</strong> Brahma the creator. Thus the entire universe is re-created from scratch once every<br />
8.64 Billion solar years (2 kalpas)<br />
Modern science estimates the age <strong>of</strong> our current Universe as 13.75 ± 0.11 billion years.<br />
Further Bhagavatham - Canto 3 further defines<br />
1 Manvantara = 71 Maha Yugas = 71 * 4,320,000 = 306,720,000, i.e. 306.72 Million solar years each<br />
manvantara is presided over by a Manu.<br />
While the idea <strong>of</strong> repeated creation with free will beings within the cosmos invariably imply the<br />
possibility <strong>of</strong> fall and subsequent redemption <strong>of</strong> the fallen creation by the father through appropriate<br />
means is a possibility, the assignment <strong>of</strong> a fixed period as Hindu Yuga theory does would imply<br />
predestinated events which either takes away the freedom granted to the creation (making it necessary<br />
to fall) and the subsequent Hindu concept <strong>of</strong> creation as a child play for <strong>God</strong> which the Christian<br />
Theology cannot accept. The conclusion simply is that:<br />
Yes, it is possible for the created being to fall by virtue <strong>of</strong> the free will. But it is in no way insist or<br />
necessitate the fall. However in case the fall occurs, <strong>God</strong>, being the Love He is will certainly find his<br />
own method <strong>of</strong> redemption. It need not necessarily involve another incarnation while that is not ruled<br />
out. That is the freedom <strong>of</strong> will <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong>. Love forces <strong>God</strong> to redeem his creation.<br />
The Gospel is that "Today is the Day <strong>of</strong> Grace.<br />
If we neglect so great a salvation<br />
The Consequence <strong>of</strong> sin is Pain and Suffering."<br />
This is clear revealed truth.<br />
Yes <strong>God</strong> pains through the process until the creation is made whole.<br />
