is the body that is burnt and sacrificed

the material realm, but the essence of the souls comes from the Absolute One before the divine realm, so
it will reach it when the souls are saved. Therefore, when the four yugas are over, the apocalypse will take
place. For this reason, yugas can be described as universal reincarnation. Brahma will remain with the truly
liberated souls. However, this universe with divine creation and divinity-sanctity will continue to exist wit
