ESSENCE OF NAAM / MANTRA JAP (Hymns Chant) IN KALIYUG

Kaliyug, the baddest and most distressful time among the living creatures since many years. It has been written in our scripts that this particular age will be treated as "Demon or Evil" since there is no sake of love, religion, humanity and respect towards the individuals.

As in this age, people's interest towards the almighty tends to reduce throughout this age simultaneously hatred also increases between the living beings.

There is no question about that each and every individual is going far from the god and forget its basic aim of living life.

We forget why we are here in this world?

People must not forget that we are here to get rid off from our good and bad deeds (karma) done in the past, on behalf of which we are suffering a lot. We have to complete our cycle of living and death so as to mix, from where we started (the god).

For reducing the impact of karma (by burning it) we have to do some efforts so that we can balance our account to zero. Means there will be no positive deed as well as negative in our accounts.

Earlier Yuga like Satyug, Treta yuga & Dwapar yuga were different. Those ages were totally different as compared to Kaliyuga. People live thousand to lakhs years at time which decreased to 100 in Kaliyuga.

So for achieving our aim in this black period, our beloved god reduced the level/labor required by an individual to a certain level which is quite easy as compared to earlier times.

KALYUGA NAAM ADHAR HAI meaning of it, in this period if a person only chant the name of god viz mantras, hymns, verses, he/she can easily achieve the god and later on attain a certain stage known as Salvation (moksha).

However in other ages, the process for liberation was very tough. People used to meditate for years so as to wash off their sins, deeds so as to achieve its aim. But with respect to this black age god also reduces the level and allows only Mantra Jaap as a tool (chanting of versed/hymns) for the liberation in which the soul from the body moves towards the holy feet of the god and will never comes in the process of living or dead.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KALYUG & OTHER YUGA (Satyuga, Tretayuga or Dwapar yuga)

Yuga, the word itself signifies the Ages, which is used to describe in the Indian History. India, or say Bharat, the rich and fertile country with deep knowledge of Vedas, Purans and Updesh like Gita flourished the people throughout the ages.

Yugas are divided in 4, termed as:-

1.) Sat Yuga (Golden Age)
2.) Treta Yuga (Silver Age)
3.) Dwapar Yuga (Bronze Age)
4.) Kal Yuga (Iron Age)

Satyuga, the very 1^st yuga as per Hinduism which is also known as the best yuga and often called as Golden age in the history. It consists of purest part of the Varna i.e. Brahmin, which themselves are satisfied and were far away from the materialistic world. Knowledge, meditation, humanity and penance were present in this yuga. 

Lord Vishnu incarnated 4 times in this era which are Matsya, Kurma, Varaha & Narsimha. Sat Yuga lasted for 17,28,000 years and average human lifespan was 100,000 years.

Treta Yuga, is the 2^nd out of four yugas which is also known as Silver age in the religion of Hinduism. The Varna associated with this era is Kshatriyas. The most famous events of this yuga were Lord Vishnu's fifth, sixth and seventh incarnations as Vamana, Parashurama and Rama respectively. 

The Treta Yuga lasted 12,96,000 years and average human life span was around 10,000 years.

Dwapar Yuga, is the third out of four yugas as described in the ancient scriptures of Hinduism. Dwapar yuga comes after Treta Yuga and before the dark Kali Yuga. The Varna associated with this era is Vaishyas. It is stated in the Puranas that this yuga ended when Krishna returned to his eternal abode of Vaikuntha. 

Two major incarnation of Lord Vishnu in this era are Krishna & Gautam Buddha. According to the Bhagavata Purana, this yug lasts for 8,64,000 years and average life span reduced to 1,000 years.

Kali Yuga, the darkest of all the ages and called as Iron Age in which the quality of persons / people residing in that age deteriorates with respect to the time. Yugas has passed and now we are in the phase of Kalyuga which is considered as the lowest of all the Yugas. The Dharam Bull, which symbolises morality, stood on all the four legs in Sat Yuga, three legs during Treta Yuga and two in the later Dvapara Yuga. Currently, in the immoral age of Kali yuga, it stands on one leg. 

The varna associated with this era is Shudra. The overall duration of Kali Yuga is around 4,32,000 years and the average life span of an individual is 100 years, which will further reduces to 20 years at the end of the yuga.

Lord Vishnu’s 10^th Avatar named as Kalki will take place in this period. He shall be the one who destroys the Kaliyuga and reinitiate the holy and divine Satya yuga. And later on worshipped by the whole world.
