Chart showing the ages of one yuga

One billion nine hundred and sixty million and eight hundred and fifty three-thousand and seven years ago, [1,960,853,007 (2018)] God created the present creation; the same as He did in the past and the same He will do in the future. Two billion three hundred and thirty-nine million, one hundred and forty-six thousand and nine hundred and ninety-three years (2,339,146,993) remains before the next grand dissolution. The period from creation to dissolution is 4,320, 000,000 years. Thus we have Creations and Dissolutions as beginningless as the absolute Causes are beginningless.

The information which this religion is capable of giving on the age of creation and dissolution (The formula for calculating the age of creation) is afforded by no other religion. It was always in the possession of the Aryans since the dawn of creation. When all the knowledge of the Vedic religion is in harmony with reasoning, then what doubt can there be to the explanation of the age of creation and the period of emancipation. Therefore, it is desirable that all should believe it to be true.

The first combination is called the beginning of Creation. This is the joining of the highly subtle, indivisible separately-existing particles called atoms (or more appropriately correct - electrons) derived from the primitive ether. The various combinations of atoms, in different proportions and ways, give rise to various grades and conditions, of the subtle and gross matter until it reaches the gross visible multiform stage called the universe.

That which brings about the first combination existed before the combination and shall exist after the component parts are pushed asunder. This is called the Cause. That which comes into existence after the combination, and ceases to exist after it has come to an end is called the Effect. That out of which something is made is called a Cause. Whoever produces an Effect out of a Cause is called the Maker.

God energized the subtle Eternal Primordial Matter (Atoms) and the first principle, WISDOM was produced. This reduces matter to one degree less subtle which led to the principle of INDIVIDUALITY. However, it is still less subtle than the five Subtle Entities, optic, auditory, olfactory, gustatory and tactile: (the spiritual senses or the media through which these senses make contact with the soul through the mind).

This further led to the creation of the principles of SENSATION (hearing, seeing, smell, taste, and touch) and the five principles of ACTION (speech, grasp, locomotion, reproduction and excretion) plus the principle of ATTENTION. These are all less subtle by passing through various stages of less subtle conditions of matter (action and reaction) give rise to the five subtle principles (the five elements- inanimate objects of creation) SPACE (MATTER), AIR ( or gas), HEAT ( fire or electricity), LIQUIDS, and SOLIDS respectively. The order of dissolution is the reverse.Of these twenty-four, matter is uncreated.

These twenty-four entities and the spirit, human and Divine, form a group of twenty-five noumenon. The spirit is neither the material cause nor the effect of anything. "This universe was non-existent" means that it was non-existent. The universe in this gross physical and visible form existed only in essence or in elementary form as the eternal elementary matter.

"Nothing can ever become something, nor can something ever become nothing. These two principles have been rightly ascertained by the true seers of nature." Gita 2:16

"Astonishing fact! The Hindu Revelation (Veda) is of all Revelations the only one whose ideas are in perfect harmony with modern science, as it proclaims the slow and gradual formation of the world."

"The formation of the brain, of the optic nerve with the most reticulate formation of the retina, the demarcating of the paths of the principles of sensation and action ~ the linking of the soul with the body, the assigning if definite places to it for wakeful state, slumber and deep sleep, the formation of different kinds of tissues and secretions, such as muscle, bone marrow, blood reproductive elements ~ and the construction of various other wonderful structures and mechanisms in the body who but God could have created?" - "The Light of Truth."

Creation, in the beginning, in glory and grandeur (golden age) up until now has always been consistent and uniform. By observing the law of nature with the aid of reasoning we come to the same conclusion, that men are descended from many fathers and mothers and not from one father and one mother (opposing the Divine Law of nature).

In Tibet, a small community of the human race was created, later to be known as the Aryan race, with favorable surroundings consisting of vegetation and animals. They all belonged to one class, that of man and this period consisted of the Golden age, the most heavenly age where souls returned from emancipation. They deserved to be reunited with their families and to enjoy earthly happiness in perfect harmony and sublimate piety.

During the second age, known as the Silver age, there was a mild interruption of sublimity. From the existing one class to two classes evolved the noble (Aryans) and the wicked (Dasyus). This "good" and "bad" is not what our present knowledge can explain, but tremendously more advanced. As a matter of fact, such evil would have been classified as highly religious, far more advanced than our highest religious order of today.

When tensions and serious trouble arose between the Aryans and the Dasyus, the Aryans regarding (now India) as the best on the whole earth emigrated there, and colonized it under the name of Aryavarta ~ the abode of the Aryans. The Dasyus remain in Tibet and started their migration to China and other parts of Asia. This can be proven to be true by the present population that shows India and China to be the two most populous countries in the world today, and of all the continents of the world, Asia is the most populous.

The Bronze age saw the Aryans divided themselves into four classes, teachers (Brahmans), who were entitled to distinction according to the extent of their knowledge. The protectors (Kshatriyas) who were judged by their physical powers, and the merchants (Vaishas), by material wealth in his possession, and laborers (Shudras), were evaluated the years of service. Although the class system was long in effect it was at this age that it became more pragmatic. As knowledge was on the decline divisions and desensitizations were increasing.

We have reached the last age of this cycle, the Iron age where all true knowledge has virtually disappeared and divisions and chaos reign supreme. Afflictions of all kinds, religious, political and social are daily occurrences. Although the races and classes were present in the third age, knowledge was far above petty differences.

"Let a man, therefore, gain knowledge and acquire wisdom, lead a virtuous life, bear malice to none and show all men the path that leads to true happiness." Manu 2:159

The followers (Aryas) of the one true Vedic religion hold there is an infinite number of eternal, unborn; an immortal spiritual entity. These souls are neither All-knowing nor All-powerful. Their actions are finite. But their finiteness has different levels which are raised or lowered according to the work done by these souls.

God gave the Aryas many things for their use. These souls bring the things of the world into their use according to their capacity, ability, power, and discretion. Acquiring knowledge and making proper use of the objects of the world is considered progress and those who remain idle and inactive to the Vedic religion are sunk in misery.
