	De kosmische geest in pralaya en manvantara, G. de Purucker
		De oneindigheid kent noch manvantara, noch pralaya, eenvoudig omdat perioden van goddelijke of spirituele rust en perioden van gemanifesteerde evolutionaire activiteit alleen behoren bij beperkte delen van de oneindigheid en dus bij heelallen, hetzij van enorme omvang, zoals een groep melkwegstelsels, of kleinere kosmische eenheden.
		Het is een soort verlies, een wegzinken in de maya van kosmische dromen; terwijl pralaya in werkelijkheid de geest van het heelal is, volledig ontwaakt op zijn eigen gebied, omdat alles erin is verzameld, en hij in vrijheid actief is op zijn eigen onuitsprekelijk spirituele gebieden.
		Wanneer de evolutie of het manvantara begint en het laatste ogenblik van de kosmische pralaya voorbij is, vindt precies het tegenovergestelde proces plaats.

	Rounds and manvantaras
		During a solar manvantara, the globes of a planetary chain successively embody one subplane lower in each of the first four embodiments, then one subplane higher in each of the last three embodiments.
		The moon-chain was the fourth and lowest embodiment in the current solar manvantara, and the earth-chain is the fifth embodiment.
		The earth-chain embodied one subplane higher than the moon-chain and therefore the moon we see is not the former physical globe D of the moon-chain but the astral shell or kâma-rûpa of its globe D. The monads embodying in each kingdom take seven planetary rounds, or one planetary manvantara, to graduate to the next kingdom.

	Manvantara: een droom, een maya, G. de Purucker
		Manvantara: een droom, een maya, G. de Purucker
		Alle gemanifesteerde entiteiten, werelden en gebieden, kunnen in zeer diepe zin worden beschouwd als de visioenen of dromen die zijn voortgebracht in en door het kosmische denkvermogen of de kosmische geest aan het begin van de perioden van manvantara van het heelal.
		In het geval van de mens is de incarnatie van het spirituele ego een betrekkelijke ‘dood’ voor dat ego, en evenzo is het einde van de belichaming in de stoffelijke werelden een opnieuw ontwaken van het spirituele ego in een hogere graad van zelfbewustzijn in en op zijn eigen gebieden en werelden.

	The Origin Of Life
		After 1.728.000 years when the manvantara begins most of the species are already created by Kasyapa and his wives.
		At the end of the manvantara there is a partial universal destruction with great deluge and all the species die out on the surface of the earth planet.
		Between each manvantara there is an interim period of partial destruction and new creation of species after great deluge.

	* Manvantara - (Esoteric): Definition
		In Theosophy, a period of manifestation which is in contrast to a pralaya, a period of dissolution and rest.
		During the present 4th Manvantara (out of 7 in all during this Kalpa), however, the 'Crown' is at {12} Sahasraar or Shakti Lok (which is thus the present final destination of all Religions) and the Creation proper has its Sutratma-...
		Pralaya (Sans.) Dissolution, the opposite of Manvantara, one being the period of rest and the other of full activity (death and life) of a planet, or of the whole universe.

	Resources - Theosophy \| Theosophical Society in America
		Seven planetary manvantaras (or planetary cycles, each cycle consisting of seven rounds) form one solar kalpa (or solar manvantara), or seven Days of Brahma — a week of Brahma.
		Manvantara (Sanskrit) This word is a compound, and means nothing more than "between two manus"; more literally, "manu-within or -between." A manu, as said, is the entities collectively which appear first at the beginning of manifestation; the spiritual tree of life of any planetary chain of manifested being.
		A planetary manvantara — also called a maha-manvantara or a kalpa — is the period of the lifetime of a planet during its seven rounds.

	manifestation \| English \| Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
		A manvantara, therefore, is the period of activity between any two manus, on any plane, since in any such period there is a root-manu at the beginning of evolution and a seed-manu at its close, preceding a pralaya.
		One has to gather from context what the meaning of the manvantara referred to is, remembering that what is applicable to a lesser period applied also to a greater, and conversely.
		The period of a human life is sometimes called a paurusha manvantara; the period of a planet's life, a bhaumika manvantara; the life period of the solar system, a saurya manvantara, the life period of the universe, a prakritika manvantara, which last can become synonymous with the saurya manvantara.

	"Cyclical Time Periods" by G. de Purucker
		There are manvantaras of the entire solar system as well as of the planetary chain; and there are still smaller manvantaras, each one of which is the reign of a single Manu.
		Seven of these Days of Brahma make a solar manvantara for this chain because, taking our globe earth as an instance, at the end of seven such planetary Days the seven subplanes of the cosmic plane on which our globe earth is will have been passed through and every experience gained therein.
		This is the reason that 360 days is recognized in occultism as the standard year; and many cultured nations, such as the Babylonians, Egyptians and Hindus, all famous throughout antiquity for their astronomical skill, used the 360-day period in their calculations for the length of a year.

	Qwika - Bharadwaja
		It is said that when Bharadwaja's time in this world came to an end, the celestial gods showered flowers on the couple and Indra came on his divine chariot, offered his respect to this great personality and took them to heaven.
		Bharadwaja is one of the seven rishis of the vaisavata manvantara.
		A number of yugas make a manvantara, and each manvantara has a set of seven rishis who help in preserving and propogating knowledge in that manvantara.

		It is formed from matter left over from the past manvantara and in accordance with karma from the past manvantara (there is no "first" manvantara" nor will there be a "last" one, and so such self-expressions are endless).
		Life-waves as such remain throughout the manvantara although they do grow and mature over time and they take on various differential characteristics called races and nations and families and so on all the while remaining human.
		At the end of the manvantara, most, but not all, of the beings evolving within it will realize their own mayavic nature and gain enlightenment.

	Theosophy and Evolution - Part 1
		This breathing-forth is known as a Manvantara, or the Manifestation of the world between two Manus (from Manu "man," and Antara "between") and the completion of the inbreathing brings with it Pralaya, or destruction.
		For the purpose of a Manvantara two so-called eternal principles are postulated, that is, Purusha and Prakriti (or SPIRIT and MATTER).
		That great work may be accomplished during the Manvantara in which a Divine spark reaches the human form, or it may not; all depends upon the individual's own will and efforts.

	Hindu Theory of World Cycles
		Within that Brahma day, we are in the seventh manvantara, and in the 28th maha yuga of that manvantara.
		Oddly enough, if you multiply maha yugas of 4,320,000 years times 71 to make a manvantara and then times 2 to make a kalpa, the result is only 613,440,000 years rather than the 22 septillion Gerwal states as his total.
		The 22 septillion number is far greater than the traditional length of a kalpa, and the statement that 2 manvantaras make a kalpa is far fewer than the traditional number of 14.

	Varaha and Vedic history
		A divine day of Brahma is subdivided into 14 manvantaras each consisting of 71 yuga cycles.
		(3) We are in the 7th of the 14 manvantaras; and the 28th of the 71 yuga cycles.
		(3) Vishnu-purana 1.3.17-18 According to Surya-siddhanta, there is an additional interim period (each the length of a Satya-yuga) separating each manvantara which brings the duration of an entire day to be equal to the length of 1000 yuga cycles as stated in Gita 8.17.

	Pralaya
		PRALAYA is a period of observation or repose -- planetary, cosmic, or universal -- the opposite of Manvantara, a period of manifestation.
		Kalpas, Yugas, Manvantaras, although applicable to cycles of various lengths apply generally to what is known in the Hindu books as the "Day of Brahmâ." The "Day" is the type of all such cyclic periods and was always understood esoterically as such.
		All the other pralayas are periodical and follow, in regular succession, the Manvantaras, as the night follows the day of every human creature, animal, and plant.

	Raja- and buddhi-yoga
		In Sanskrit these cycles are called Manvantaras, each consisting of Kalpa: a time period when in the definite region of space the world "manifesting" in material plane exists; and Pralaya: time period when the "manifesting" world disappears.
		Each Manvantara starts with the regular "Creation of the World" (in the Bible's language) and ends with the "End of the World" — when the conditions of the Creation are exhausted.
		As the result of each Manvantara the Creator adds to Himself those units of purusha that have been evolving in physical bodies, which managed to cover the whole cycle of their personal evolution and attained the Divine Perfection.

		The destruction [of the species], which we call accidental or caused occurs at the end of each Manvantara (Manu's age), of one cycle of a yuga.
		He's one of the seven (sometimes 10 or 12) seers (rishis) or lords of creation (prajapatis), who intuitively "see" and declare the divine law of the universe (dharma).

	Dane Rudhyar - Inertia and the Mystery of Evil - Theosophy and Spirituality - Rudhyar Archival Project
		When we speak of manvantaric inertia, we mean "unstable inertia," or the principle according to which the motion conveyed by a given impulse tends to perpetuate itself throughout space and time.
		The first idea arrived at is this: we cannot really conceive, during a manvantara, or any form of inertia which is not unstable in its essence.
		If we appear to be able to conceive such a thing as stable inertia (for example, the inertia of a stone resting upon the ground), it is because we limit our examination to a fragment of the system instead of considering the whole.

	The Cycle of Ages:The Cyclic Time Concept of the Vedas
		Preceding the first and following each manvantara period is a junction (sandhya and sandhyamsa respectively) the length of a Satya-yuga (1,728,000 years).
		Each manvantara period ends with a partial devastation and starts with a partial recreation of the universe.
		Since 14 manvantaras (14 Manus) reign in one day of Brahma, a total of 14 x 360 x 100 = 504,000 Manus and demigods change shifts in the lifetime of Brahma.

	Hidden Hints In The Secret Doctrine, Part One - A Theosophical Article by William Q. Judge
		Although there can be no such thing as a metaphysical limit to the monads, yet practically, for the purpose of any one manvantara, there must be a limited number of monads included within its evolutionary sweep.
		Since a manvantara, however vast and inconceivable by us, is wholly a finite period, it sets its own limits-within the illimitable absolute-for the monads attracted to it.
		The necessities of evolution demands this, and the turning point is reached in the fourth round which represents the square figure or number, and all monads in the lower kingdoms have to go on with the work of evolution in those until the next manvantara.
