Origin of world and Manu sci-my

Many of you might wonder when and how the universe was created, who created it, why was the it created. if you think I am going give you answers for these question, then you might be getting me wrong. But I can take you through what Indian texts has to say about these thing.

lets start from Manu  the first man on earth according to Indian mythology
many of you might have heard about Manu but, Do you know there is more than one Manu? Yes you heard me right in fact there are there 14 Manus in a kalp.
Now what is kalp?
kalp is 1 full day (equivalent to 24 hours) of Brahma the divine father and creator.
Each Manu has time period or term known as Manavantar
lets see how the list goes
  1. Svayambhu Manu
  2. Svarocisha Manu
  3. Uttam Manu
  4. Tamasa Manu
  5. Raivat Manu
  6. Chahshusha Manu
  7. Vaivasvat Manu
  8. Savarni Manu
  9. Rouchya Manu
  10. Bhoutya Manu
  11. Merusavarni Manu
  12. Ritt Manu
  13. Rittdhama Manu
  14. Vikshaksen Manu
There is little confusion regarding Manus from 9th to 14th as every Puran has its own version of it. the above list is in accordance to Matsya puran.
Each Manu serves for nine hundred and ninty four years
That means one day of Bramha is equal to thirteen thousand nine hundred and sixteen years.
Now we are living in period of Vaivasvat Manu the 7th Manu.
He said to be son of Surya (Sun) and Sandhya, Sun is also called Vyavasvaan hence his son was called Vaivasvat.
That's all for today, if there is anything that you want to me add please comment and let me know.
