Chapter- 2.2

 2. The Importance of Bhakti in Kali Yuga :


The story says that from Satya Yuga to Dvapara Yuga, Bhakti happily stayed in this earth along with Mukti, Jnanam and Vairagyam. But when Kali Yuga started, Mukti was in danger at the hands of the invading faiths.

So she obeyed Bhakti’s orders and immediately went back to Vaikuntha Lokam. Mukti now comes to this Earth only for short visits whenever Bhakti wanted her and would return to Vaikuntha soon after.

Bhakti could not leave her sons Jnanam and Vairagyam and remained with them always, protecting them. Her sons were old and weak because nobody wanted or cared for them in Kali Yuga. Narada pacified Bhakti saying that her sons would recover soon. He would definitely find a way to make them young again.

Narada told Bhakti that not every thing was bad about Kali Yuga. Unlike other Yugas, it is much easier to get the blessings of the Lord in Kali Yuga, through Namasankirtana alone.

You need courage to accept the present moment as it is. This moment is designed for you exactly this way, by the Supreme Intelligence.

Allow the ever new knowledge to flow through you.

In spite of a series of failures, if you still can attempt, you are not a slave of past and you are living in the present moment.

Even after being rejected many times, if you still have hope, you are ever new.

However you were treated badly by some people whom you trusted and loved, if you still can trust and love more people with the same innocense, it is a mark of mental freedom or renunciation.

Life is the holiest Scripture and living it without defining it and labelling it is the best form of worship. Then you will be kind to yourself as well as others.

Honouring every moment of your life as it comes, beyond likes and dislikes is actually practising renunciation.
