eastern religions need bigger aeons

Any post titled "Kalpa Review" should be a lot longer than yours was.
However, there would not be enough room for it - anywhere.

If at all related to the sanskrit word Kalpa, it makes sense that the stories would seem unrelated, since a Kalpa is a huge amount of time and no creature would exist from one to the next to remember it. You can't really have a storyline measured in Kalpas unless you're doing something absurd with time travel, but I would assume the word is used artistically to imply greatness or a vast span of time, much smaller than a Kalpa but still larger than a normal human lifespan.

The word catches my eye, which may be enough to make me grab the book if I see it. Thanks for the review.
