Does any Hindu mythology has spoken about existence of ice age or dinosaurs or any other nature related historical stage? As per Yugas, is there any reference of proof available to cite that these events happened on which era as per timeline of evolution?

    Good question. I wanted to ask this. But in this site scientific explanations are banned. And unfortunately, in available scriptures there is not much science discussed. The concept & timelines of Yugas should be taken with grain of salt. They are too unrealistic to be sensible. It simply ignores all the Jurrasic/ice age, cavemen, Homo-X theories. @BhavinPatel, your answers don't discuss about the scientific historical stages. – iammilind Aug 04 '15 at 12:59
  • Yugas are spoken of in the Puranas, there is no mention of yugas in the Vedas. So it's up to you if you want to accept them or not as true or allegorical. Patanjali speaks of evolution in his Yoga Aphorisms. Do a search on 'Patanjali' on this website. – Swami Vishwananda Aug 04 '15 at 13:27
  • @SwamiVishwananda Does Patanjali speak of spiritual evolution, i.e. the same atma attaining births as higher and higher animals, or does he speak of biological evolution, where the descendants of one animal are some other animal? – Keshav Srinivasan Aug 04 '15 at 14:13

    @iammind I think Bhavin's links were meant to address the dinosaur part of the question, not the historical stages part. – Keshav Srinivasan Aug 04 '15 at 14:24

  • According to Shreemad Bhagavatam Vritrasura was a demon or evil purusha , not a dragon but there are two versions of the story one is Vedic story and one is puranic. – SwiftPushkar Jan 04 '17 at 09:44
  • Lord's Ram bridge formed 500-600 years ago? It is million years old. Please cite directly from scriptures than from Wikipedia. You can edit the sentence and directly quote from Bhagavatam from here. – Sarvabhouma Jan 04 '17 at 09:50
  • @SreeCharan i changed it and how lord rams bridge is million years old i am not aware of it ? – Sakthi Jan 04 '17 at 10:03
  • Shreemad Bhagavatam is talking about HAWK not about Giant eagles , the sanskrit word used for Hawk is "shayeNa" in 5.23.3 – SwiftPushkar Jan 04 '17 at 10:03
  • @SwiftPushkar These planets float in the air within the vast sky, just as clouds with hundreds of tons of water float in the air or as the great śyena EAGLES, due to the results of past activities, fly high in the sky and have no chance of falling to the ground. – Sakthi Jan 04 '17 at 10:36
  • @sakthi - yes , already seen that, but see this http://spokensanskrit.de/index.php?tinput=hawk&script=&direction=ES&link=yes - see the last word :) – SwiftPushkar Jan 04 '17 at 10:38
