We believe that principles of Sanatana Dharma transcend all Kalas, measuring which is not yet comprehended by modern day scientists. [[Kala (कालः)|Kala]] since Vedic times has been measured in macroscopic and microscopic levels under the Bharatiya Kalamana systems. Kalpas and Yugas are macroscopic time units used since ancient days. One common observation in our texts is that there are various versions of the same story or anecdote in different texts. Many scholars opine that this apparent discrepancy is because they may have arisen in different Kalpas. Kalpantara versions cannot be verified with existing historical evidences.

Astrological charts are one good way to arrive at the timeline of the historical events by taking into account the astronomical events such as solar eclipses, movement of comets, planetary positions. Astrological calculations of such events can traced back for proof. Archeological correlations cannot be completely relied on as many things are lost in the sands of time. Arriving at a chronological conclusion based on the ancientness of our language presented in different texts is again with gaps because of non availability or degradation of manuscripts, distortions introduced by interpreters.
