Anybody done the maths and seen if it works out! 500 years split into Golden,Silver,Copper and Iron. I believe the Golden aged births lasts 150 years and so with 1250 years for the Golen age you would have 1250/150 = 8 births there. How long do they last in the Silver and Copper ages? I remember soing this once but I forget all the details.

Well 12 in the silver age leaving 63 for copper and iron age.
Plus a spritual birth in the confluence age

I remember being told that in the last Brahmin birth you had to become complete so that if you left the body before-hand you had to be re-born and start again. The births at the end were counted all as one.

Yes in as much as the last birth can be split! It still counts as one.

The BKs often refer those sometimes those folks who had just entered Raja Yoga were "old souls". I was told this meant that they had already been BKs in their last birth, and hence they already seem to know gyan even after coming for a few weeks/months. After all the yagya started in 1936 and some souls would have left their bodies since and be reborn.
However, this seems to conflict with the idea that you only have maximum of 84 births and this is your last birth if you are a BK.

However, if one "spiritual birth" is split up of several "physical births" then this makes up for the explanation of "old souls".
