People research UFOs because they want to know if we as Earthlings are not alone in the Universe. As long as mankind has had eyes to look at the sky he has always wondered what is out there.

When was Ganesh born?
The dieties in Hinduism are not human beings and were not born in this world. There are many ages (yugas) and the present yuga is kali yuga. All gods and their incarnations are in some other yugas.
Is humankind understood to be currently in the first of the four yugas?
Humankind is currently in the last of the four yugas. A kalpa is a day of Brahma, and one day of Brahma consists of a thousand cycles of four yugas, or ages: 1) Satya-yuga; 2) Treta-yuga; 3) Dvapara-yuga; 4) and Kali-yuga, this is the present yuga. The cycle of Satya is characterized by virtue, wisdom and religion, there being practically no ignorance and vice, and the yuga lasts 1,728,000 years. In the Treta-yuga vice is introduced, and this yuga lasts 1,296,000 years. In the Dvapara-yuga there is an even greater decline in virtue and religion, vice increasing, and this yuga lasts 864,000 years. And finally in Kali-yuga (the yuga we have now been experiencing over the past 5,000 years) there is an abundance of strife, ignorance, irreligion and vice, true virtue being practically nonexistent, and this yuga lasts 432,000 years. In Kali-yuga vice increases to such a point that at the termination of the yuga the Supreme Lord Himself appears as the Kalki avatara, vanquishes the demons, saves His devotees, and commences another Satya-yuga. Then the process is set rolling again. These four yugas, rotating a thousand times, comprise one day of Brahma, and the same number comprise one night. Brahma lives one hundred of such "years" and then dies. These "hundred years" by earth calculations total to 311 trillion and 40 billion earth years.

How was Ved Vyas born?
Hindus traditionally hold that Vyasa categorised the primordial single Veda into four. Hence he was called Veda Vyasa, or "Splitter of the Vedas," the splitting being a feat that allowed people to understand the divine knowledge of the Veda. The word vyasa means split, differentiate, or describe.Born in Damauli in Tanahun district of Nepal about 5500 yrs ago, he was successful in attaining divinity by practicing meditation at the confluence of fresh water river in Nepalese soil.It has been debated whether Vyasa was a single person or a class of scholars who did the splitting. The Vishnu Purana has a theory about Vyasa.The Hindu view of the universe is that of a cyclic phenomenon that comes into existence and dissolves repeatedly. Each cycle is presided over by a number of Manus, one for each Manvantara, that has four ages, Yugas of declining virtues. The Dvapara Yuga is the third Yuga. The Vishnu Purana (Book 3, Ch 3) says:In every third world age (Dvapara), Vishnu, in the person of Vyasa, in order to promote the good of mankind, divides the Veda, which is properly but one, into many portions. Observing the limited perseverance, energy, and application of mortals, he makes the Veda fourfold, to adapt it to their capacities; and the bodily form which he assumes, in order to effect that classification, is known by the name of Veda-vyasa. Of the different Vyasas in the present Manvantara and the branches which they have taught, you shall have an account. Twenty-eight times have the Vedas been arranged by the great Rishis in the Vaivasvata Manvantara... and consequently eight and twenty Vyasas have passed away; by whom, in the respective periods, the Veda has been divided into four. The first... distribution was made by Svayambhu (Brahma) himself; in the second, the arranger of the Veda (Vyasa) was Prajapati... (and so on up to twenty-eight).
Will anyone survive Kali yuga?
To answer this question we must know the difference between a belief and an absolute fact. This is because Yugas are just beliefs. They are not historical events. They just can't exist.What then is the absolute fact of the Yugas?The four Yugas are derived form four modes of life. They are,1. Instinctive Mode2. Natural Mode3. Virtual Mode4. Modern Mode1. Instinctive Mode:We live in this mode when the external conditions are ideal. Our behavior would be same as that of people in Krita Yuga of Hindu mythology. Since we use involuntary force in this mode it takes the longest time to discard this Mode.2. Natural Mode:We live in this mode when the external conditions keep varying between an upper and a lower limit. Our behavior would be the same as that of people in the Treta Yuga.Since in this mode we use the semi voluntary force it takes takes slightly shorter time to discard this mode.3. Virtual Mode:We live in this mode when we are forced to live outside the limits of good life but the magnitude of our difficulties is constant. Then using a mechanism called god we can lead a natural life but under one set of conditions only. Our behavior would the same as that of people in the Dvapara Yuga. It takes lesser time to discard this Mode than Natural Mode because we would be using the conditional semi voluntary force..4. Modern Mode:We live in this mode when we are forced to live outside the limits of good life and the magnitude of our difficulties keeps changing continuously. We can't afford to have a god and we must lead an eternal ad hoc life. Our behavior would be the same as that of people in the Kali Yuga. Since we use voluntary force this mode can be discarded in no timeModes and Yugas:Why is that we have never heard of Modes of life? This is because modes were banned and were replaced by Yugas. This was because people used to change modes to take undue advantage and often ended up having chaotic life. It also made the society highly unstable.Since Modes were banned and replaced by Yugas a Yuga was supposed to last many times more than the lifespan of a human being.A Mode is a physiological entity. We can change our modes continuously.In contrast we a Yuga is unchangeable.Will anyone survive Kali Yuga?Now let's see the question in the light of knowledge of Yugas.To say that we live in Kali Yuga is absurd. We feel that we are in Kali Yuga because we are leading a Modern Mode of life. Instead we can use Instinctive Mode and thus have the feeling that we are in Krita Yuga! We don't use the Instinctive Mode because it would stagnate our life and thus would not allow us to progress.No, we are mixing up beliefs and facts. The absolute fact is that human race is eternal. We are not in Kali Yuga and it is not going to end. We wish that Kali Yuga is coming to an end because we are using the forbidden Yama force for our day to day activities and that force can't be controlled by us. The way out is using the Instinctive Mode.The above explanation is based on Inner Knowledge and therefore is an absolute fact.
Who was Narad?
Narad is a celestial seer (rishi) who was born many Yugas (divine ages, cosmic circles) ago. Whenever something important happens in the divine happenings of the world, Narad seems to make an appearance. Narad was also Lord Brahma's son. When he was a boy, a very long time ago, he served some enlightened saints, who blessed him with enlightenment, although it was delayed until his next lifetime. Narad became a very advanced saint who is said to travel all around the universe. He is a rather spectacular personality. As of today he still travels around the universe
Why is it difficult to reconstruct an historical chronology of the development of Hinduism?
There are several challenges in reconstructing the historical chronology of Hinduism. First, Hinduism has a diverse range of beliefs and practices, making it difficult to trace a single linear development. Second, Hinduism is an ancient religion with roots in prehistoric times, so there is limited written evidence from early periods. Lastly, Hinduism has experienced multiple invasions, cultural exchanges, and reinterpretations over the centuries, further complicating the task of establishing a precise chronology.
What were the days called before the Romans?
The Romans used the date 753 BC as their starting point, Ab Urbe Condita (since the founding of Rome). For example, 743 BC would have been 10 AUC, or ten years elapsed since the founding of Rome. Other Ancient civilizations used important dates as benchmarks, such as the birth of Mohammad (632 CE) Hindus divided time into yugas, or eras. Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dwapar Yuga and Kali Yuga. They last 4000, 3000, 2000, 1000 divine years, respectively. That translates to 432,000 earth years in total. And we are still in the Kali Yuga. It took some time before Constantine's revision of these systems to be universally accepted. Hope that helped.
Is this the age of kal yug?
Kali Yuga (Devanāgarī: कलियुग , "age of (the male demon) Kali", or "age of vice") is the last of the four stages that the world goes through as part of the cycle of yugas described in the Indian scriptures. The other ages are Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga and Dvapara Yuga. According to the Surya Siddhanta, an astronomical treatise that forms the basis of all Hindu and Buddhist calendars, Kali Yuga began at midnight (00:00) on 18 February 3102 BCE in the proleptic Julian calendar, or 23 January 3102 BC in the proleptic Gregorian calendar. This date is also considered by many Hindus to be the day that Krishna died after being mortally wounded by an arrow. Most interpreters of Hindu scriptures believe that earth is currently in Kali Yuga. Some, such as Swami Sri Yukteswar, David Frawley, and Paramhansa Yoganandabelieve that it is now near the beginning of Dvapara Yuga. The Kali Yuga is traditionally thought to last 432,000 years.Kali Yuga is associated with the apocalyptic demon Kali, not to be confused with the goddess Kālī (these are unrelated words in the Sanskrit language). The "Kali" of Kali Yuga means "strife, discord, quarrel, or contention.Source(s):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali_Yug
