Chapter – 358 – The legend
of Lord Krishna - 206
King Pareekshith speaks “
Oh! Mune, after the return of the supreme Lord Krishna who is the jewel of the
Yadhu clan to his supreme abode, kindly describe the Kings who ruled this
kingdom.”
Shuka Bhramam speaks “Oh!
Rajan, once the supreme Lord Krishna departed to his abode, the kali era has
begun, there were several illustrious Kings who ruled the Earth wisely. In this Kali era, people will not follow
Dharma/righteousness, Sathyam/truthfulness,
Shaucham/austerities, Kshama/endurance, Dhaya/kindness, that are essential for
the development of a Kingdom/country. The
people will have a short life span and memory loss; therefore, people will be in
extreme fear, insecure, jealous and hatred to each other. The people will give importance to wealth;
the wicked people work together to loot the wealth of others, people will mislead the
society and the people with the power of wealth. The married couple gets over-attached to each
other and soaks in the sensual pleasures, take great interest in a physical
relationship. The people will find
excessive interest in worldly matters and sensual pleasures with the wrong
perception that it will accompany them always.
The people will not follow even basic hygiene, will not take a regular
baths, they chase for material well-being, selfish and swollen with pride. They take great interest in increasing the
charm and physical appearance, take an increased interest in hairdos. There will be unseasonal rains, extreme heat,
famine, drought, floods; extreme cold, infectious diseases that will increase
rapidly. The humans will be prepared to
commit any sin for wealth and richness.
The people will undergo various infectious diseases and constantly get
worried about it. In this Kali era, people will not have good health, and will
not follow Varna Ashrama Dharma and Pagandis/insane, demonstrate the Dharma and
put the people into trouble.”
