WHETHER KALI YUGA IS ALREADY OVER AND WE ARE NOW IN SATYA YUGA SANDHI?

While Mystics know the embedded secrets of cosmic order and time concept in a holistic manner and much better than us, the detailed descriptions of the features and deterioration of Kali Yuga as spelt out in the various PurANAs and other Vedic Scriptures is not yet fully visible. Taking this into consideration coupled with other factors like the duration of Kali yuga, manifestation of Kalki avatAra , views of traditional AcAryas and so on, it is difficult to conclude with certainty that Kali Yuga was already over ( in 1974 or so) and that we are in the Satya Yuga (Kruta yuga) Sandhi kAla. The difference in the time duration concept for Devas (1 day of Devas = 1 year of human beings) makes the subject more complex.

SIX WORSHIPFUL PERSONS

One who does annadānam(feeding of poor) daily, one who is a nitya agnihotri, one who is an expert of Vedānta, one who has lived for more than eighty years, one who undertakes fasting on ekādaśi, one who is a chaste woman who adores and follows her husband – to all these six I offer my profound salutations.

nityānnadātā   taruṇāgnihotri vedāntavid candrasahasradarśi !
masopavāsi ca pativratā ca ṣad jīvaloke mama vandanīyāḥ !!

RADHASHTAMI Celebrations - 2 September 2014 - Tuesday

SrI  RAdhA is none other than SrI MahAlakshmI, who out of great compassion, facilitates the individual Self to get the divine grace of the Supreme BhagavAn SrI KrshNa, the glorious YogeSvara. According to the Scriptures, the best way to approach SrI KrshNa is through first obtaining the grace of SrI RAdhA. Even a grave sinner gets redemption through Her ceaseless divine grace and becomes purified to serve the lotus feet of SrI RAdhA KrshNa. Let us not miss this opportunity to offer our humble and sincere prayers to the ever fresh and fragrant queen of BrndAvan. On this most auspicious RAdhAshtamI  day, may SrI RAdhA shower Her blessings on all.
