Question- 27
With Kali Maha Yuga running for 4,32,000 years, are we doomed to suffer for so long?
Answer:
No.
As told several times, Dharma Yuga has no fixed beginning or end. The long duration of 4,32,000 years for Kali Yuga is only for Time computation purpose which is given the name Kali. This is not to be confused with the Dharmic measure of short of duration of Kali Yuga.
In Dharmic scheme, almost all the four Yugas have run in the 12,000 period since Ice Age ended. In this scheme, Krita Dharma Yuga will begin anytime after Kali Adharma Yuga.
There is even a prophetic saying in Vishnu Purana (4-24) that when the sun, the moon and Jupiter join the star Pushya (in Kataka), Krita Yuga will begin. This is repeated by sage Markandeya in the Mahabharata.
Vishnu Purana further states,
“.. the minds of those who live at the end of the Kali age shall be awakened, and shall be as pellucid as crystal. The men who are thus changed by virtue of that peculiar time shall be as the seeds of human beings, and shall give birth to a race who shall follow the laws of the Krita age, or age of purity.”
This explains the process of how Kali Sandhya will set in after a breaking point is reached in Kali Adharma. The Sandhya period will have 1/4th Kali Adharma which means a rise of Dharma by 3 parts. With rising Dharma, Kali Sandhyamsa will set in when there will be further lessening of Kali Adharma by 1/4th. By then the Adharma of Kali will be 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16. This means a whooping Dharmic level of 15/16. That will be the state of Krita Dharma Yuga.
The Yuga Purana of Vriddha Gargeeya Jyothisha lists out specific regions of India where Krita yuga will revive after the end of Kali Yuga. This is in terms of revival of Dharmic measures. North India will be totally suffering from Kali dharma. Only regions between Vindyas and River Krishna, the southern part of the Eastern Ghats of Orissa and the regions around River Kaviri will find revival of Krita Yuga.
