Kali Santarana Upanishad

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Narayana!

 

For the benefit of all worshippers, I am giving below the translation of

Kali Santarana Upanishad.

 

 

Hari Om ! At the end of Dvapara-Yuga, Narada went to Brahma and

addressed him thus: " O Lord, how shall I, roaming over the earth, be

able to across Kali ? "

To which Brahma thus replied: " Well asked. Listen to that which all

Shrutis (the Vedas) keep secret and hidden, through which one may cross

the Samsara (mundane existence) of Kali. One shakes off (the evil

effects of) Kali through the mere uttering of the name of the Lord

Narayana, who is the primeval Purusha " .

 

Again Narada asked Brahma: " What is that name ? " To which Hiranyagarbha

(Brahma) replied thus:

 

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

 

These sixteen names are destructive of the evil effects of Kali. No

better means than this is to be seen in all the Vedas. They destroy the

darkness of the Jiva surrounded by the sixteen Kalas (rays). Then like

the sphere of the sun which shines fully once the clouds covering it

disperse, Parabrahman (alone) shines.

 

Narada asked: 'O Lord, what are the rules to be observed with reference

to it ? " To which Brahma replied that there were no rules for it.

Whoever in a pure or an impure state, utters these always, attains the

same world of, or proximity with, or the same form of, or absorption

into Brahma.

 

Whoever utters three and a half Crores (or thirty-five millions) times

this Mantra composed of sixteen names (or words) crosses the sin of the

murder of a Brahmana. He becomes purified from the sin of the theft of

gold. He becomes purified from the sin of cohabitation with a woman of

low caste. He is purified from the sins of wrong done to Pitris, Devas

and men. Having given up all Dharmas, he becomes freed at once from all

sins. He is at once released from all bondage. That he is at once

released from all bondage is the Upanishad.

 

Hari Om Tat Sat !
