Dear Members,

 

Source : Vaishnava Samhita

 

In the Kaliyuga people became evil-minded gave up the practice of prescribed

rituals. They lived by the wealth acquired in sinful laws. The scholars of the

Vedas made the study and practice of the Vedas a business. The kings started

abusing the Vedic scholars. The traders failed to respect the regulations

prescribed for them. The unwise became kings. Learning became a way to make

money. Household life was used for lustful pleasures. Saintly life was taken up

for ostentation. The life of a forest-dweller was chosen for the sake of

profiting by money-lending. Thus when the Primeval Dharma (Sanatana Dharma) –

got shattered like this by the spread of evil propensities of Kali, all people

became sinners and were bound to reach Naraka (the hell). The root of the

existence of the universe is dharma. Lord Shri Narayana Himself is rooted in

dharma. All happiness available on this earth and in the spiritual realm are

based on dharma. Hence, dharma must be

adhered to. Slipping away from the denoted path of righteousness, all people

became sinners and turned into atheists completely forgetting the recitation of

the glory of Lord Hari. The saints who had knowledge of the truth and were men

of perception, prescribed singing of the glories for Lord Vasudeva in the

various Shastras, as the only remedy for the maladies of Kali. Due to the evil

tendencies of Kali even the scholars consider the recitation of the glory of the

Divine Names as mere rhetoric and they lead an ostentatious life.
