Circular Time

Time is a complex idea in Hinduism, and philosophy in general. We discuss in this meeting the ideas of linear, circular, among other forms of time. Specifically, we look to discover whether the Hindu concept of time truly is circular or not. Some questions to consider are: Is time circular, linear, or something else? Why or why not? Additionally, there are many measures of time specified in the book: Surya Siddhanta. One of which is the atom. How can the atom be used as a measure of time? Is the atom, as a measure of time, the same thing as the atom that we consider in science? If not, how can it be described?
