If you had a chance to pay attention to what a culturally literate person performing any religious rite in India recites what is called as a "Sankalpa", you would find that the person is actually describing the time elapsed since the dawn of Universe. The Sankalpa goes like this:
�Bhrahmanah Dwitiyaparardhe, Shwetavarah kalpe,Vaivasvata Manvantare,
Kaliyuge, Prathama Charane, Sarvadhari naama Samvatsare, Chaitramaase,
Shukla Pakshe, Prathama tithau, Somvasare, JambuDweepe Bharata Khande,
Bharata Varshe
Meaning:
"Today, the second half of Brahma's life in Vaivaswat Manvantar andShvetvarah Kalpa and the first part of Kaliyuga, in the year named Vikruti in the month of Chaitra in brighter half on first date in the holy land of Bharat in Jambudweep(Asia) This is of great significance
