Narayaneeyam Dasakam: 8 --Mahapralaya or The Great Deluge

Dasakam: 8 --Mahapralaya or The Great Deluge

Before creation took place  we had  a concept of TIME,as it is computed in our Puranas.360 human years constitute one year for the Gods(Divine year or "Divya Varsha").12,000 such divine years form a "Chatur Yuga"or "Maha Yuga"  A "Chatur Yuga" or "Mahayuga"consists of four Yugas (ages) put together. The four yugas are:Krita Yuga--4800 divine years,Treta Yuga--3600 divine years,Dwapara Yuga--2400 divine years andKali Yuga--1200 divine years.Total       = 12,000 divine years with 43,20,000 human years.  71 such Maha Yugas/Chatur Yugas make a "MANVANTARA".

14 such Manvantaras are clubbed together to form a "KALPA"We are today living in the  seventh Manvantara,known as"Vaivaswata Manvantara".The 14 Manvantaras that go into the makingof a Kalpa constitute just one day for Brahma. Brahma is our mythological God of creation. At the end of his day, Brahma goes to sleep during his night.His night extends for the same period as his day,i.e. the same time for a Kalpa.During this night, there is no 'creation' activity and it is called a "Naimittika Pralaya. Brahma gets up again for his next day or Kalpa. 360 such days or Kalpas of Brahma make one year for him.In this manner a Brahma lives for his 100 years.

Before Creation started, there was Mahapralaya or the Great Deluge. During this period, there was no Universe. At the end of the Pralaya lasting for 100 years of Brahma,there was a will for Creation.
