KALIYUGA

With the growth of modern technology, each nation tries to compete the other in terms of scientific discoveries. Then, where is the chance of knowing the Almighty and increasing our devotion for Him?

As long as a fetus grows in a womb normally, everything is happy and peaceful. But if the child continues to grow in the womb even after 10 months, it is not peaceful anymore. It is rather alarming and dangerous isn’t it? Similarly, the growth of science and discoveries in this field are good only to a certain extent. Beyond that it becomes dangerous, and the world will be fed up with the troubles that these cause, rather than enjoy its benefits. If not now, at least then, the world will realize the presence of the supreme power called Sri Krishna.

Why do we have crime and injustice in the world?

That is the nature of the Kali Yuga. The state of the current yuga has been predicted long back by our Maharshis in the various spiritual texts of our Dharma. We cannot avoid that. The only way out is to try to remain unaffected by it, by holding to the Feet of the Lord.
The simplest way towards this goal is by chanting the Mahamantra.

Lord Sri Krishna, in the Gita, says that parampara of Gita was broken and hence he narrated it to Arjuna. Now with the print and electronic media, there is no chance of the ‘Parampara’ (lineage) to be broken as these scriptures are preserved for eternity. Does this not mean that our civilization is advancing? So, how can it be fair to say that the standards in Kali Yuga are degrading?

The ‘lineage’ that is meant here is not the lineage of preservation by learning. It means the lineage of preservation by practice and experience. All the learning in this age is done for self-pride and show-off and is far from the true import of learning
