Significance of Dissolution

In various contexts, Dissolution refers to the process of breaking down or ceasing to exist. In Buddhism, it involves the end of life, letting go, and the return of entities to their original causes. For Vaishnavism, it signifies the end of a cycle. In Purana, it is a cosmic event of destruction and transformation. Vedanta views it as the end of existence. Shaktism, Shaivism, and Indian history see it as a return to the source. Science and health sciences define it as a physicochemical process of dissolving, crucial for drug bioavailability and removal of residues.1
