Age Of GODS - How long do they LIVE?


Are GODS immortal? or DO Gods have an end too?

Introduction:

      At a point of time in our life, some of us would have this question. Is something in this world immortal? or does everything has a end or halt or atleast a pause? yes, there are a few things in this world which are immortal but has a pause. Gods live for a unimaginable high amount of years. So, whats the approximate value/ approximate age of Gods? I will tell you. 

What does Shiv Puran has to say about Age of Gods?

 There is a detailed explanation of the Age of all Gods in our vedas , puranas. It is very complicated . But here today we shall see the AGE of

  • Lord Brahma
  • Lord Mahavishnu
  • Lord Shiva
When Lord Brahma was asked about the age of the Lords, then he explained it to Narada Muni.
All Gods have a Lifespan of a 100 years. But a year of theirs is way much different than ours.


  • Lord Brahma lives for a 100 Brahma years. But , one day of Lord Brahma is equal to almost 1,16,40,00,000 Human years. And a night of His also lasts so long. So a full day and night of Lord Brahma is 2,32,80,00,000 Human years on earth. So a year of Lord Brahma is  2,32,80,00,000 x 365 = 8,49,72,00,00,000 human years on earth. And so the Age of Lord Brahma is said to last 100 years, so the total lifespan of a Brahma is 8,49,72,00,00,00,000 human years on earth.
  • Maha Vishnu's lifespan is also a 100 Vishnu years but here is a twist, 1 year of Brahma= 1 day and Night of Maha Vishnu. So the age of Maha Vishnu must be   8,49,72,00,00,00,000 x 36,500= 31,01,47,80,00,00,00,00,000 human years on earth.
  • Lord Shiva's  lifespan is also a 100 Shiva years but similarly , 1 year of Maha Vishnu= 1 day and night of Lord Shiva, so the age of Lord Shiva must be  31,01,47,80,00,00,00,00,000 x 36,500= 11,32,03,94,70,00,00,00,00,00,00,000 human years on earth. 

Conclusion

  So i too had an interest to know the age or the lifespan of these Lords in terms of our human years, so i went through Shiva Puranam , and came across this detail. 

Thank you.

Sri Ukkal Kamakshi Ambal- A goddess whose eyes open During Poornima Day(full moon)

The Holy Incident I saw with my very own eyes My Pilgrimage to Holy Kanchipuram After reaching Kanchipuram to visit some temples. We hired an AutoRikshaw to Ukkal, Cheyyur District. It is around 18 KM from where we stayed at KanchiPuram. So when we reached there we asked everyone about this Ukkal Kamakshi Amman Temple, A holy Deity with a Nose ring. But nobody in the village guided us properly , But finally we ended up at a Very Big temple which was closed. It was the Vaidhya Natha swamy temple. So when we stood there, the temple Granny who was incharge of it , came there and opened the temple for us. It was such a blissful experience. Inside the GarbhaGruha stood a tall Shiva linga( Vaidya Nathar) . It was so peaceful there. After that, when we asked her about the Ukkal Kamakshi amman temple, she didnt know about it properly. But a small boy there said us there was a temple there at a distance which had a similar description, so we thanked them and Nandi ji and left from there...
