Jahnavi Jivana - Day 2 - Radhadesh Mellows 2020.


To become immune from the effects of the Kali−yuga, one must chant the holy name of the Lord:

In this age, when everything is polluted by the contamination of Kali, it is instructed in the scriptures and preached by Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu that by chanting the holy name of the Lord, we can at once be free from contamination and gradually rise to the state of transcendence and go back to Godhead. The offenseless chanter of the holy name is as auspicious as the Lord Himself, and the movement of pure devotees of the Lord all over the world can at once change the troublesome face of the world. Only by the propagation of the chanting of the holy name of the Lord can we be immune from all effects of the age of Kali.

– Srimad Bhagavatam 1.16.32−33

[Sukadeva Gosvami to King Pariksit]: Lord Ramacandra became King during Treta−yuga, but because of His good government, the age was like Satya−yuga. Everyone was religious and completely happy.

Among the four yugas−Satya, Treta, Dvapara and Kali−the Kali−yuga is the worst, but if the process of varnasrama−dharma is introduced, even in this age of Kali, the situation of Satya−yuga can be invoked. The Hare Krsna movement, or Krsna consciousness movement, is meant for this purpose.

kaler dosa−nidhe rajann asti hy eko mahan gunah
kirtanad eva krsnasya mukta−sangah param vrajet

“My dear King, although Kali−yuga is full of faults, there is still one good quality about this age: simply by chanting the Hare Krsna maha−mantra, one can become free from material bondage and be promoted to the transcendental kingdom.” (S.B. 12.3.51)

If people take to this sankirtana movement of chanting Hare Krsna, Hare Rama, they will certainly be freed from the contamination of Kali−yuga, and the people of this age will be happy, as people were in Satya−yuga, the golden age.

– Srimad Bhagavatam 9.10.51
