Yoga Nidra of Lord Vishnu – the cosmic sleep in Hindu Scriptures
In Hinduism, the cosmic dissolution (Mahapralaya) takes place when the cosmos goes beyond redemption due to destruction of Dharma. This is not an end but a positive change or death before rebirth. This cycle is repeated endless times.
After the cosmic dissolution, there is a period of stillness. Vishnu reclines over the still cosmic waters on the endless coils of the serpent Ananta Sesha, which represents Time.
Everything that existed before the Mahapralaya lies around Him in the still primeval waters. This cosmic sleep is known as Yoga Nidra. Here He is focused on the Infinite Reality of His own identity
Yoga Nidra ends with beginning of the next cycle of creation.
The next cycle of creation is symbolically represented by a lotus with Brahma seated on it that rises out of His navel.

Mahapralaya: The great dissolution. This is the time when the entire creation (the physical universe as well as the spiritual universe) is reabsorbed back into God. After mahapralaya only God exists until He issues forth creation again. According to traditional Hindu calculations of the yugas, there is yet billions of years before the next mahapralaya.
So am I going to loose any sleep over it!!!! LOL
