Kaal ganana -the time measurement in hinduism

The Hindus were  so developed scientifically in past  that they created the exact time calculating system

"Nimesh" is the time it takes to blink an eye. This is the smallest unit of time (similar to seconds). Fifteen Nimesh add up to one "Kashth". Thirty Kashth’s equal a "Kaal", and thirty Kaal’s make a "Muhurt".
Thirty Muhurt’s sum up to a "Ahoratr". One Ahoratr constitutes a day.
Thus there are thirty Muhurts in a day (or in one Ahoratr) fifteen each for day and night.
A God Ahoratr (day) equals one man year. The first six man months- when Gods have their first half of a day is called "Uttar Yaan" and the next six man months - when Gods have their night is called "Dakshin Yaan".
Three hundred and sixty human years equal one God year. Thus 12,000 God years equal 4,320,000 man years. This is a "Maha Yug".
There are four major Yugas or periods/eras. Satya Yug, Tret Yug, Dvapar Yug and Kali Yug.
Satya Yug lasts 1,440,000 man years; Tret Yug for 1,080,000 ; Dwapar Yug for 720, 000 and Kali Yug for 360,000 man years. In addition ,there are other time periods between these four Yugas. These periods are referred to as "Sandhyamsh" and they last for 720, 000 man years. Adding up the four Yugas and the Sandhyamsh we get a total of 4,320,000 man years or a Maha Yuga.
One "Manvantr" equals seventy one Mahayugas. Thus there are 296,720,000 man years in a Manvantr.
One "Kalp" equals a thousand Mahayugas. Thus there are 4,320,000,000 man years in a Kalp. One Kalp corresponds to one Brahma day! Thus there are 8,640,000,000 man years in one day/night of Brahma. Between the time he opens his eyes- to start all over again. Time between creation and destruction.
That is a count of 8.64 billion years!! It is the same as calculated by present day science!! But even the present day science cannot divide this time period as done so, poetically and scientifically, by our ancient scriptures.

10 avataras of God Vishnu -the deity of preservation

The scriptures speak of the 10 Avatars of Vishnu – different incarnations that take the form of divine intervention provided by Vishnu during the various stages of human evolution.

5. Vamana (the dwarf)

10. Kalki (the mighty worrior)

Puruṣārtha -end aim of human life

Dharma:-religious, social and/or moral) righteousness, both spiritual and ritual"
Artha: -(material and/or financial) prosperity as well as pursuit of meaning
Kāma:- " (dharmic) pleasure "(wikipedia meaning)enjoy all pleasures in control  ,never let pleasure  control you  (my meaning ){no offences intended }
Mokṣa: "(spiritual ) liberation,at last let your ATMA  (soul) merge with your DIVINE CREATOR the ALMIGHTY GOD (PARATMA)
  


how i interpret this ??
  

You are ought to follow dharma the path of good and wellbeing of all people,along with you are supposed to earn money and prosperity but it is of no use unless you use it, hence use it, but being in control .because remember your ultimate aim is moksha the "salvation"  

 

a revolutionary idea -how can I be a Godlike eg.indra,vishnu,mahesh ?(no offences intended)

 (no offences intended)

I believe we are the soul (atma)and there is only one PARMATMA (THE ALMIGHTY GOD)
the god like figures or minor deties like Indra, Agni,Pawan dev etc have there limitations and tenure
eg.
(according to the Brahma Purana and Hindu cosmology, Brahmā is regarded as the creator but not necessarily as God. Rather, He is regarded as a creation of God / Brahman. The lifespan of Brahmā is 100 Brahmā years, equivalent to 311,040,000,000,000 solar years (311 trillion and 40 billion Earth years). At the end of His lifespan, there will be a gap of 100 Brahmā years, after which another Brahmā or creator will begin the process of creation a new. This cycle is thought to repeat without end.) source wikipedia and all other websites "just google "
so when their tenure ends ,the PRAMATMA or  HIS  SHAKTI appoints a new god on the basis of his capabilities and deeds than the gods according to their seniority of deeds and works can get that post  

the question is how can you become a godlike figure  ????
the answer is by your good deeds and moral behaviour

the step are  very lengthy
1) do good deeds in your mortal life (you are here means that your good and bad deeds were nearly  equal in your past births  )
2) if you got "moksha". the salvation
3)you will reach "swarga"
4)rest is on your deeds there
5)rest you can assume
(no offences intended)

Is there dictatorship of Holy Trinity or democracy ?

there is no dictatorship of gods but the full democracy
for example
In the Brahma Purana and Hindu cosmology, Brahmā is regarded as the creator but not necessarily as God. Rather, He is regarded as a creation of God / Brahman. The lifespan of Brahmā is 100 Brahmā years, equivalent to 311,040,000,000,000 solar years (311 trillion and 40 billion Earth years). At the end of His lifespan, there will be a gap of 100 Brahmā years, after which another Brahmā or creator will begin the process of creation anew. This cycle is thought to repeat without end.

in this way the things are also similar for all gods including Vishnu, Indra ,and mahesh also.in this way there is complete democracy among GODs being everybody a soul.a part of great soul  

brahma Shakti (construction, and/or creation).of ALMIGHTY GOD(PARMESHWAR) better known brahma,prajapati

"Brahma" one of the three god of the "three great trinity" ,work area is creation or construction of whole universe .

The Shiv meaning " the auspicious one" is the destructive or liberative power of the "ALMIGHTY GOD" every material thing has to come to an end hence ,the shiv or maharudra helps the universe to come an end .but in non -pralay time it is generous deity which can give even  his life for a  devotee.

the Vishnu Shakti (preservation) of ALMIGHTY GOD(PARMESHWAR) better known as NARAYAN ,VISHNU,

The vishnu one of the three Gods from the holy Trinity,the major work area is preservation of whole universe
The number of auspicious qualities of Vishnu as the supreme God power of three great trinity  are countless, with the following six qualities being the most important:

• Jñāna (Omniscience), defined as the power to know about all beings simultaneously
• Aishvarya (Sovereignty, derived from the word Ishvara), which consists in unchallenged rule over all
• Shakti (Energy), or power, which is the capacity to make the impossible possible
• Bala (Strength), which is the capacity to support everything by will and without any fatigue
• Vīrya (Vigor), which indicates the power to retain immateriality as the supreme being in spite of being the material cause of mutable creations
• Tejas (Splendor), which expresses His self-sufficiency and the capacity to overpower everything by His spiritual effulgence

the lord vishnu takes avatara ;incarnations when there is fluctuation of justice on earth ,and destroys all immoral people .He is considered as supreme between three great trinity because "HINDUS BELIEVE IN PRESERVATION RATHER THAN DESTRUCTION BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE ALLOW INJUSTICE ".
