Enlightening Discourse on Swami Abhedananda,Shivananda, Greatness of Chennai,Namakirtan about Kaliyuga - Part-8

[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To all,

 

Discourse contd.....

 

Just as Narada decided to leave, Sanatkumara arrived there. Sanatkumara asked

Narada, " Why do you look crestfallen? I can see traces of fear on the face of

one who fears none and nothing! What is it that you fear? "

 

Narada said, " On learning that Kali yuga had set, I desired to come down to the

earth. But on visiting the earth I am gripped with fear. Kali is filled with

defects (doshas). "

 

Srimad Bhagavatam says 'Kalir dosha nidhe, Rajan!' – Kali is said to be filled

with defects (doshas).

 

Kalau kalmasha chittaanaam paapadravyopa

jivinaam |

Vidhikriyaaviheenaanaam

gatir govinda keerthanam ||

 

Looking at the fear stricken face of Narada, Sanatkumar said, " An ordinary man

may experience fear but you, Narada, how can you experience fear? "

 

Narada asked, " Why should I not experience fear? "

 

Santakumar said, " I cannot believe that you experience fear, " and went on to

explain, " All feared Hiranyakasippu. Indra feared and so did the nine planetary

deities. Yama, Kubera all feared him. All the thirty three crore devas feared

him. But Narada! Playing the tamboora, you would enter his court freely,

chanting 'Narayana! Narayana!' Hiranyakasippu who cried out in anger demanding

his son Prahlad to stop taking that Name was quiet when the same was uttered by

you. You could freely enter the palace of Hiranyakasippu who was feared by one

and all and also do Namakritan. Couldn't you? "

 

Narada agreed, " Yes. "

 

Sanatkumar continued, " Likewise, everyone feared Kamsa. But you freely walked

into

the tyrant Kamsa’s palace without any fear and do Namakirtan. Couldn’t

you? "

 

Narada agreed, " Yes, of course. "

 

Sanatkumar pointed out, " The powerful Asura Ravana had imprisoned the nine

planetary deities and several others. But you would freely walk into his court

and sing Namakirtan. How can you, who had befriended Ravana, Hiranyakasippu and

Kamsa and could walk in and out of their courts freely without nurturing any

fear, experience fear? "

 

Narada said, " Of course you are justified in placing this question, " and pointed

out, " They were part of Krita yuga, Treta yuga and Dwaapara yuga. But it is Kali

yuga now. "

 

" What is the difference between those yugas (Ages) and this yuga, " asked

Sanatkumar.

 

Narada explained, " In those Yugas the nature of an Asura was different from that

of a man. One could easily differentiate an Asura from a man. But today there

are many Asuras (Asuric qualities) in every man. I am unable

to differentiate a man from an Asura. Hence, I fear this Yuga. Most people are

frauds. "

 

During the chanting of the Vedas one hears the Vedic chanters frequently

chanting 'Deva Asura, Deva Asura'. In Krita yuga there used to be constant fight

between the Devas and the Asuras. Devas lived in Deva loka while the Asuras

lived in their own loka (world). We do not know where and when the fights took

place between them. Since the Vedas speak of the fight between the Devas and

Asuras we come to know of it.

 

In Treta yuga Lord Rama incarnated on earth. He was verily God. The Asura Ravana

lived in the neighboring country of Sri Lanka.

 

In Krita yuga the Devas and the Asuras lived far, far away in their own worlds

(lokas) up above in space. In Treta yuga we find them living in neighbouring

countries on earth.

 

Krishna Avatar took place in Dwaapara yuga. In this yuga we find that the Asura

came to live as Krishna's maternal uncle!

 

 

Please note how things transformed in each yuga. In Krita yuga the two lived far

apart in different worlds. In Treta yuga they lived in neighboring countries.

Later, in Dwaapara yuga they lived closer together as relatives.

 

What is the position in this Kali yuga? The two are born in the same family as

father and children and other immediate relatives! This is verily the nature of

this Age.
