This may be of interest to the list members. Hindus regard
that creation has taken place 1,972,949,100 years ago.
According to the Hindu concept of kalpas and yugas (time cycles)
creation took place when all the planets were in the first point
of Aries. The dissolution will come after the integral number of
years required for all of them to come again to the first point of
Aries. This is estimated to be 4,320,000,000 years. This is the
duration of daytime for the creator. The creator will sleep for
an equal duration of night (4,320,000,000 years) and when he wakes up
will start the new cycle of creation.
