Sreepada Sreevallabha Charitaamrutam - 26

Chapter– 26

In the morning we reached Kurungadda to have darshan of Sreepada Sreevallabha. Sri Dharma Gupta had an intense desire to know the particulars pertaining to the advent of kali yuga from Sri Sreepada. On that day Sri Sreepada was having a very placid countenance which was like a beautiful blossom. With ambrosial looks showering nectar of compassion, He granted us the great fortune of touching His divine Lotus Feet. Sri Dharma Gupta prayed to Sri Sreepada to tell us about the genesis of kali yuga.

For that Sri Sree Charan said, “My children! Time is the cosmic form of supreme self. Sun is also called the soul of time. The time taken by sun to start from star Dhanista and go round star Sravana once and get back to Dhanista is termed as ‘brahma kalpa’. A part of brahma kalpa is ‘srushti kalpa’ and the remaining portion is reckoned as ‘pralaya kalpa’. Day and night are formed as an experience of ordinary people.Half of the time relating to manes is ‘sukla paksha’ and the other half is ‘krishna paksha’. Six months are ‘uttaraayana’ and six months are ‘dakshinaayana’for the deity of the year. A yogi visualizes the wheel of time in his own body. This esoteric knowledge is called ‘taaraka raja yoga vidya’. Knowledge of time cannot be known by those who are not aware of it.In ‘taaraka raja yoga’ body is construed as ‘Brahmaanda’. All the worlds are in it. The point of thought in our head is termed as ‘brahma loka’.The world of Vishnu is in the navel.Rudra loka is in our heart. Manes lie in our sperm as deities of reproduction. These ‘janya deities’ transmit the consequences of actions of past generations of mankind to succeeding generations and make them experience those results. Therefore, time is very much essential to hand over the results of actions in previous births in a gradual way. 

 

Symptoms of the end of kali yuga 

 

Manes of the departed ones are not the dead elders. They are ‘janyu deities’ who receive the fruits of obsequious ceremonies performed in the name of ancestors and grant them noble status. They do not have any birth. A yogi visualizes the six

yogic centres in his body as seasons of the year outside. There are twelve full moons and twelve new moons in a year. These 24 holy days are to be understood as the 24 steps of prosody of Gayatri. Some people worship Narayana who is the personification of time as a ‘purusha’ of the year. This vidya is called ‘dwaadasaaksharee vidya’. At the rate of one letter for each month, for twelve months it becomes a mantra of twelve letters. Know that the following developments indicate an end of the epoch of kali. Inundation of rivers and rivulets causing immense loss; earth shaking always with tremors like those of final destruction; sun and moon deviating from their paths; thick gloom enveloping sun who becomes unseen during daytime; horrible comets appearing in the sky portend the end of kali yuga. During the last phase of dwaapara yuga, kali purusha who is the chief of kali yuga undertook fierce penance in an island in the western sea. All these matters were narrated by Sage Vedavyasa in his ‘Bhavishya Puraana’.

 

  Advent of mlechha race 

 

On seeing the great prevalence of vedic mantras, sacrifices and penances kali purusha became very miserable. He prayed to God, “Dharma is shining everywhere like blazing fire. Then how can I spread influence of kali? I have to spread my yuga dharmas according to your promise. It is becoming impossible for me.” Then the Lord of the universe showed an island to Kali in the western sea. He showed Adama who is the origin of men and Havyavati a female. He created a beautiful garden for their enjoyment. In reality they were brother and sister. Kali entered there as a serpent. He ignited immoral lust among them and encouraged them to beget illicit and unethical children. As soon as they were downfallen, the divine forces in them disappeared. From this couple, the mlechha race which is the origin for kali dharma started. In the last phase of dwaapara yuga, that was 2800 years prior to the end of dwaapara yuga the progeny of that race increased in mlechha desa. This was contained in‘prati sarga parva’ of Bhavishya Puraana.Adama, and Havyavati created in Neelachala, tasted the fruit of sin and increased their offspring who were abusing aarya dharma, who ate all sorts of things and who were unrighteous. I have to incarnate as Kalki and destroy crores and crores of unethical people and establish satya yuga again. This is my programme in the distant future.

Victory Victory unto Sri Sreepada Sreevallabha!
