  • Manvantara or Manuvantara, or age of a Manu, the Hindu progenitor of mankind, is an astronomical period of time measurement. Manvantara is a Sanskrit sandhi, a combination of words manu and antara, manu-antara or manvantara, literally meaning the duration of a Manu, or his life span . Each Manvantara is created and ruled by a specific Manu, who in turn is created by Brahma, the Creator himself. Manu creates the world, and all its species during that period of time, each Manvantara lasts the lifetime of a Manu, upon whose death, Brahma creates another Manu to continue the cycle of Creation or Shristi, Vishnu on his part takes a new avtar, and also a new Indra and Saptarishis are appointed. Eventually it takes 14 Manus and their respective Manvantaras to create a Kalpa, Aeon, or a ‘Day of Brahma’, according to the Hindu Time Cycles and also the Vedic timeline. Thereafter, at the end of each Kalpa, there is a period of dissolution or Pralaya, wherein the world is destroyed and it is lies in a state of rest, during a period called the, ‘Night of Brahma’. After that the creator, Brahma starts his cycle of creation all over again, in an endless cycle of creation followed by Destruction for which Shiva, Hindu God of destruction, and also renewal, is invoked towards the end of each such cycle .
  • En el marco del hinduismo, un manuantara, es una era de Manu (el progenitor hindú de la humanidad). El manuantara es una medida de tiempo astronómico.
  • Manwantara - - w hinduizmie przedział czasu odpowiadający długości życia Manu, praojca ludzkości. Manwantara trwa 1/14 część dnia Brahmy. W czasie obecnej manwantary obowiązki Manu pełni Waiwaswata.
  • Manvantara (ou Kalpa), segundo a Teosofia, é o período de tempo do ciclo de existência dos planetas em que ocorre atividade. Ele dura, segundo o computo dos Brâmanes, 4.320.000.000 de anos. O período de inatividade, chamado Pralaya, tem a mesma duração. Tomando 360 Manvantaras e igual número de Pralayas, obtem-se um "Ano de Brahman". A duração de 100 "Anos de Brahman" forma uma "Vida de Brahman", também chamado de Mahamanvantara, durando no total 311.040.000.000.000 de anos. Este é, segundo Blavatsky, o período de atividade do cosmo, seguindo-se um período de inatividade, chamado Mahapralaya, de igual duração.

  • Манвантара — мера времени в индуизме, эпоха богов — дэвов. Согласно пуранам 1 манвантара = <math>{1 \over 14}</math> кальпы = 71 маха-юга = 852 000 лет дэвов = 306 720 000 солнечных лет. Также, термином манвантара обозначается период правления Ману Есть мнение, что термином «манвантара» называют также День Брахмы — в космологии индуизма — период проявления активности, жизни Вселенной. Противопоставляется пралае. Составляет 4 320 000 земных лет. Однако обычно используют термин калпа.
  • Manvantara Hint tradisyonunda, Dünya gezegeninin ve üstündeki varlıkların tekamül sürecinin periyodik bir özellik gösteren aşamalarına verilen addır. Her manvantara kendi içinde çağlara ayrılır. Hint tradisyonuna göre, manvantaramızın sonuncu ve en kötü çağı olan Kali-Yuga’yı yaşamaktayız.
