Maharloka is one of the worlds mentioned in the Hindu
scriptures. As per Vayu Purana, the rulers of the Kalpa live in the world. The
rulers of the Kalpa are known as Kalpadikaris. A Kalpa is a period of cosmic
time – it is around 4,320 million years of human beings. A Kalpa is one day of
Brahma.
Some scholars are of the view that Kalpadikaris are great
saints, who at the end of a Kalpa move to the Maharloka.
Ganadevas and Yamas are also residents of the Maharloka.
At the end of a Kalpa the three worlds are destroyed – the
three worlds are Bhur, Bhuvar and Svar.
But Maharloka is not destroyed but the residents of
Maharloka move to the next loka above it known as Janarloka.
