Re: A question on "YUGAS" or "AGES" or Cycles. [Re: Americanhindu] #19959 - 09/11/02 02:56 AM Edit Reply Quote

Everything in the universe is ceasable. Although the existence period may be astronomical high, one day it will cease to be what it became. The dissolution or Pralaya (death-sleep) is the chaotic preceding or proceeding period of Srshti (birth-wake). These two are cyclical, which is calculated in Yugas. The universe is the everchanging 'fa�ade' of Brahman. His real 'face', which is unchanging eternity or absoluteness is unknown. The universe as part of Brahman is only in the Brahman or causal part indestroyable. The universe in its effect part is certainly destroyable. This Sagunika Brahma Ayus or life will certainly end one day.
