One full Mahayuga, from what I understand, again is symbolic isn't it? To try and explain the age of man? It's about 4 mln years old, and as it turns out our earliest common primates in Africa turned up around that time..
Namaste Khadgar,
I read your post and there is many posts on this that you can search on.
Here is just one of many discussions: http://www.hindudharmaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1784
Yet the 432,000 years of Kali is considered authentic. As is the other 3 yugas that are multiples of Kali.
But let me ask, in your opinion if this was not a literal piece of info, how do you view it? That is, the value of this yuga system? What if ( and this is just throwing an idea out) the yuga system was not earth-centric, buy Galaxy centric?
Then the time scales are in sync with the billions of years and the Day and Night of Brahma.
According to the wise Kali was to have begun in 3102 BC, the day Krsna left this earth.
