Why do people in Kali Yuga struggle to follow traditional spiritual disciplines?கலியுகத்தில் மக்கள் உயர் ஆத்ம நிலையைப் பின்பற்ற ஏன் சிரமப்படுகிறார்கள்?

In the 14th Velvi Discourse (2003-2004), Gurumahan Speaks on the Precious Gift of Human Birth and Shows How Remembering and Chanting the Divine Name Becomes the Path to God in Kali Yuga!Among all living beings, the human being is considered the highest. To get this rare human birth, the soul has passed through countless lives over immeasurable periods of time. Yet even after attaining this precious birth, many fail to realise the ultimate truth and remain caught in the endless cycle between birth and death.The scriptures speak of four ages, known as the yugas. In the earlier three ages (Sathya, Treta, Dwapar), people attained the Divine through intense penance, acts of charity, and sacred rituals. However, in the present age of Kali Yuga, it is said that simply chanting and remembering the name of God is enough to reach the highest spiritual state.Why is this so? Because in Kali Yuga righteousness gradually declines. Love and respect between parents and children weaken. Affection among siblings diminishes. True friendship loses its meaning, and even relationships such as those between employer and worker become unstable. Deceit and selfishness begin to increase.In such an age, the human mind easily becomes absorbed in basic instincts—eating, sleeping, seeking comfort, enjoying pleasures, and continuing the cycle of reproduction.During such times, it becomes difficult for people to reflect on God, study sacred wisdom, live by righteousness, or deeply realise that the Divine exists and must be attained. Practices such as severe penance, sacrificial rituals, and elaborate spiritual disciplines therefore become difficult for most people.For this reason, the sages taught a simpler path for this age: if one sincerely remembers God and chants the Divine Name, that alone can gradually lead a person toward union with the Divine.Send us Fan MailLet Wisdom Flourish!Let Peace Prevail!
