In truth, this process of creation and of annihilation is endless. This is why there is no final end of the world. Sometimes material galaxies are created and sometimes wiped out, but always recreated anew.

This is why Lord Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, in the book of which He Himself is the author “La Bhagavad-gita”, “Words of Krishna, Christ, God, the Supreme Person”, emphasizes the unique quality of his kingdom.

He reveals to us that at the death of Brahma, all the planets of the material galaxy are annihilated. The beings who are not destined for the spiritual path then subsist in an unmanifest, ethereal state, then after a certain time, when the galaxy manifests again, they take up a body of matter again.

The galaxy is dissolved in two ways.

In truth, the galaxy is dissolved in two ways:

One, partial, occurs every 4 billion 320 million [4,320,000,000] of earth years or solar years, at the time when Brahma, the ruler of the galaxy takes his nightly rest. It is at this moment that occurs “the flood” for example.

The other, total, where the whole galaxy is destroyed, takes place at the end of Brahma's life, when it has reached its hundred (100) years, that is to say 311 trillion 40 billion [311,040,000,000,000] of terrestrial years or solar years.

This is what happens at the moment of final annihilation. This is the way the galaxy is destroyed.

As the annihilation of the galaxy approaches, a terrible drought is unfolding all over the earth for one hundred (100) years. For a hundred years, the sun's heat gradually increases and its blazing heat begins to torment the three worlds; the upper region of the galaxy populated by many Edenic, paradisiacal planets, the intermediate region populated by many planets of terrestrial types, and the lower region, called “the hell”, populated by many infernal planets.

From Patalaloka, the lowest planet located in Hell, a fire develops emanating from the mouth of Lord Sankarsana, the full emanation of Krishna. These upward flames, driven by strong winds, burn everything in all directions.

Hordes of clouds called samvartaka pour down torrents of rain for a hundred years. Sprays of rain as big and long as those that shoot from elephant trunks, inundate everything, and the deadly precipitation submerges the entire galaxy in water.

Then, Vairaja Brahma, the soul of the universal form abandons his universal body, and enters the subtle (ethereal, spiritual) nature, unmanifest, like a fire that lacks fuel.
