Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swamy Thiruvadigaley Sharanam

Sri:

Even though during ashirvadham one says “ShathamAnam Bhavathi” the age is not 100 but 120 said one mama.

Do we have Vedic reference? I hear the science claims Human biological potential life span is 130. The study comes closer to Veda so am asking

Swamy,
Namaskaaram.
In Gosha Shanthi:
Pashyaema sharatash shatam jeevaema sharatash shatam…-endru varum.
Azhwar says: vedanool piraayam nooru
So, hundred is referred here.
Also we note King Dasaratha lived for much much longer years. So also one Azhwar.
Is it like kaliyug and other yugams are to have different life spans for people?

Ramanujadasan.

Is it like kaliyug and other yugams are to have different life spans for people?From RS

True

According to astrological calculations, one complete cycle is 120 years.

Each of the nine grahas take shifts to control our life; the shift duration is a fixed time period for each graha, but different for different grahas. When the shift period of all the nine grahas are added, it adds up to 120.

People can live longer than that also, >1 cycle of 120.

Udaiyavar was present here for 120 years

வேத நூற் பிராயம் நூறு* மனிசர் தாம் புகுவரேலும்*
பாதியும் உறங்கிப் போகும்* நின்றதிற் பதினையாண்டு**
பேதை பாலகன் அது ஆகும்* பிணி பசி மூப்புத் துன்பம் *
ஆதலால் பிறவி வேண்டேன்* அரங்க மா நகருளானே (3)

But adiyen agree with Kambandasan Swami as well.

Adiyen Namaskaram Swamis!

So, lifespan differs in each Yugam? If so, in “vEda nool pirAyam nooru”, is Azhwar referring to Kaliyuga people? And is 100 an approximate number because some people do live past 100 years…..?

To periyavA,

PrAyam nooru must be average life expectancy not approximation

Just like sahasra seersha purusha
SahasrAkaha Sahasra PAth

Does not mean 1000 heads & 1000 legs alone
A number for us to understand BIG

Kali Yuga prAyam no, it should be general for human

yYogic people defy nature through Nivritti margam and extend their life span

Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swamy has clearly told age diminishes by Yuga.

In Kali height also reduces. People quickly die

By logic also we can assess. In this adulterated food age , to live itself is a bigger task forget about quality of life.
