ACCORDING TO THE HINDU MYTHOLOGY, THERE ARE 14 MANAVUS OR MANUS.
Surya Savarnika Manavu is Eigth Manu In Manu hierarchy. The Manu or Manavu is a title given to the progenitor of man kind.According to Hindu beliefs the primary duty of the manavu is to show a correct path to the Hindu society by the way of prescribing code of human conduct i.e Manu Smruthi.
According to the hindu belief,the Manu Smruthi is nothing but words of sun or Prajapati Brahma from whom manavu received it,and writes as it is with out making any references to either previous texts or present texts of relavent time.So the Said text or code became standard point of reference for all future Dharma sastras that followed it.
According to Hindu tradition there are 14 manavus.The duration of each Manavu called as Manvantram.Manvantram means an astronomical period of time measurement.Each manvantara is ruled by specific Manavu .The 14 Manavus are as follows.
(1)Swayambhu Manavu --The intervel of first Manvantram.
(2).Swarochisha Manavu - The intervel of second Manvantaram
(3).Auttami Manavu - The intervel of third Manavu.
(4). Tamasa Manavu -The intervel of fourth Manavu
(5). Ravaita Manavu -The intervel of fifth Manavu
(6).Chakshusha Manavu -The intervel of sixth Manavu.
(8).Surya Savarnika Manavu -The intervel of eight Manavu.
(9)Daksha Savarnika Manavu -The intervel of ninth Manavu.
(10)Brahma Savarnika Manavu-The intervel of tenth Manavu.
(11).Dharma Savarnika Manavu -The intervel of Eleventh Manavu.
(12).Rudra Savarnika Manavu -The intervel of Twelth Manavu.
(13).Deva Savarnika Manavu -The intervel of Thirteenth Manavu.
Duration of a Manvantaram
1 human year= 1 day of god Brahma.
72 human years =1 year of god B.rahma
12 god years =1 yuga(864 years)
2 yugas=1 saka (1728years)
2 sakas = 1manvantaram(3456 years)
7 manvantarams =1kalpa(24,192 years)
14 Manvantarams =maha kalpa.(48,384 years)
so here notable point for duration of each manavu period there must be some gap, because 2 manavus life time should be included to their respective durations. According to Hindu Astrology one's life span is 120 years. So 2 life spans=2x120=240 years should be added for each Manvantaram duration.Hence,3456+240=3696 years is each manvantaram duration.
So 7 manvantarams duration is =7x3696 years=25,872 years i.e nearly 26,000 years which is equal to a cosmic year cycle in which Earth passes through each of the 12 signs of the Zodiac for 2000-2160 years each. Each of these Astrological ages represents one month of the cosmic year.

ending of present Manvantaram.
So, as per my knowledge, the Vaivaswata Manvataram will be ended in the month of december 2012, and the Era of 8th Manavu would be started since Sun's Chariot day(Ratha-saptami) of next year i.e 2013. So all of the hindus be ready to say welcome to new manvantaram which would be ruled by SURYA SAVARNIKA MANAVU.
