Q95. When is the end of the world?

There are cycles of creation and annihilation. The duration of each cycle is 311 trillion, and 40 billion years. In the current cycle, the universe has existed for 155.522 trillion years old and it will end after 155.518 trillion years. “At the end of each cycle [of 311.040 trillion years], all living beings enter into My material nature. At the beginning of a new cycle, I create them again by My potency.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.7) This universe will be here for another 155.518 trillion years. But you won’t be, your life may end at any time. Make sure you live a sinless life and engage in devotional service unto the proven God, Lord Krishna. In this way you will move up in life (species) and not down.
