INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE KALPA PERIOD

Two kalpas make a day and night of Brahma. The kalpa is 4,320,000,000 sidereal years made up of 1,000 chatur-yugas or 10,000 kali-yugas. An additional dawn and twilight of 1,728,000 years each is made to fit the kalpa.
 

TABLE 4
        1 CHATUR YUGA = 4,320,000 sidereal years

        1 MANU = 71 CHATUR YUGA plus a twilight the length of one krita yuga

            71 Chatur yuga = 306,720,000 sidereal years
            1 krita yuga as introductory dawn = 1,728,000 sidereal years
            1 Manu = 308,448,000 sidereal years
             

        1 KALPA = 14 MANUS plus introductory dawn of one krita yuga

            14 Manus = 4,318,272,000 sidereal years
            1 krita yuga as introductory dawn = 1,728,000 sidereal years
            1 Kalpa = 4,320,000,000 sidereal years

        The entire life-span of Brahma may be measured thus  :

             
             
            day of Brahma 4,320,000,000 sidereal years
            night of Brahma 4,320,000,000 sidereal years
            Total 8,640,000,000 sidereal years
            days in a year                x 360
            one year of Brahma 3,110,400,000,000 sidereal years
            one hundred years                       x 100
            Brahma's life span 311,040,000,000,000 sidereal years
            time before Brahma's rebirth 311,040,000,000,000 sidereal years
             
After Brahma dies, it takes a period of time equal to his lifespan until he is reborn and teh cycle starts over.
