Anaadi - Without a beginning

In a cyclical concept of time every starting point will have to be an ending point. If time is postulated as being linear and unidirectional there will have to be an absolute starting point for time. This cyclical nature of time as believed in Indian mythology refers to time as 'anaadi' or that without a beginning. So will be my BLOG.....

Though there is no beginning, this has to have some contents and so a small "Aarmbh" With the CONCEPT OF TIME

I was browsing some time back, and came across the below concept of time, in the Indian Mythology, and was impressed very much, to the details that our fore fathers have gone into the concept of time, so thought i should share this.

The smallest unit of time is a kaashta which is 18 times the amount of time it takes to blink an eyelid. 10 kaashtas make a kshanam and 12 kshanams constitute a muhoortam. 60 of these muhoortams constitute a day. 30 days constitute a month and 3 months make up a ritu. 12 months of course constitue a human year.
