Evil Vs Good
Evil
46. And now listen with attention. At the end of the avataraship of Shri Krishna during the Kali Yuga, when the offering of sacrifices and giving of benevolent gifts had ceased,
47. Brahmans had neglected their religious obligations, and the Kshatriyas had given up rational
thinking. Sannyasis had abandoned their duties and Brahmans ( earth-gods ) had ceased to observe the duties of the fourth stage of life.
48. Sons would not listen to the commands of their parents. Disciples would not serve their
religious teachers. Husbands listening to the wishes of their wives, went to live in the homes of their fathers-in- law.
49. No one cared to go to sacred places. No one listened with reverence to the reading of the Puranas. And giving up the Hari-praise-services, they delighted in wmtching indecent dramatizations.
50. Brahmans cast aside the Shaligram and installed in their homes the idols of inferior deities. They threw away the rosary made of the tidsi and rudraksha and wore around their necks garlands made of glass beads.
51. Rich persons disliked to make gifts. Those in health had no desire for religious acts. Kings had no love for their subjects, and justice and morality were put aside.
52. Women of noble birth became slaves of others. Parents sold their daughters just as they sold horses. Muhammadans slaughtered cows as the king Kali became powerful.
53. Many spoke falsehood and insulted Sadh'us ( godly Sannyasts ). They declared as true, things that were false ; they gave a false witness.
54. The repeating of Oayatri ( a prayer to the Sun ) ceased. Magical formulas took their place. Evil men, pretending to be trustworthy to the pious, murdered them.
55. The images of deities would be mere stones, and then Muhammadans would smash them to pieces. The visiting of sacred places would be taxed. Thus the Kali Yuga (the evil age) brought
trouble to men.
56. There is no sin equal to that of false- hood. There is no virtue equal to truth, but Kali Yuga
caused all truth to disappear and evil deeds multiplied without limit.
57. When Rahu ( the monster that swallows the sun, creating an eclipse ) arises, darkness fills the sky: or when death approaches, a multitude of diseases attack the body;
58. or when night falls, ghosts leave the cemeteries ; or when an unfortunate person sees himself without good fortune, pains and poverty come upon him ;
59. or as when a teacher becomes angry the result is ignorance, or when the period of youth arrives, pride fills the heart;
60. or when men of crooked life come into an assembly, they naturally indulge in insults ; thus during the existence of Kaii Yuga unlimited sins appeared.
61. Rishis went away to Badrik-ashram, while Brahmans neglected their religious duties. When this w'as once happening, an earthquake took place.
Good
62. Then Shri Hari ( God ) in heaven thought over the sad conditions of His bhaktas. He saw^ terrible sins committed on earth among mortals.
63. All sacrifices and offerings had ceased. Brahmans had cast aside the doing of good deeds. Ignorant men sank in the sea of sorrow.
64. As the Husband of the Daughter of the Ocean ( God ) thought of what was to be done, all His bhaktas joined their hands palm to palm and stood before Him.
65. Then they said to Him, ‘ Vishnu, give us some command. ’ Then He whe enjoys dwelling on the ocean of milk ( Vishnu ) spoke thus to His bhaktas:
66. ‘ Long ago I became an avatara&nd killed evil demons, setting free the whole world from enemies. I am now carrying on the Buddha Avatara.
67. Now I wish you all to become avatars in the world of mortals, in as many places as I have an abode, and in the ancient sacred places.
68. For example, in the forest called Dindir there is a place named Pandhari. Uddhav should become an avatar and turn the inhabitants of the southern country ( Deccan ) to worship me.
69. Akrur should be- come an avatar at Mathura and Gokulvrindavan, and by his preaching turn all their inhabitants to my worship.
70. The bhakta Daruk should become the avatar Ramdas in the Western country, and cause the whole country to worship me.
71. In the East at Jagannath, Vyas should become an avatar. He should cause men to listen to my extraordinary deeds.
72. In Hastinapur ( ancient Delhi ) the well known sacred place, Valmiki should become an avatar and turn everyone to worship me with extreme reverence.
73. I became the Ram avatar, and at that time you became monkeys. I killed Ravan, and delivered Indra together with all the other gods.
74. They were the very ones who in the time of Krishna’s avatar became cowherds, and others became loving Yadavas. He slaughtered Kansa and other demons and protected cows and Brahmans.
75. And now becoming Buddha I am remaining quiet. Who dares to sing my praises to men, except you ?
76. For your sake I took human form with visible qualities. Otherwise who would have paid attention to me ? Aside from my bhaktas I see no one dear to me.’
77. While thus the Husband of Kamala ( Vishnu ) spoke, the bhaktas shouted ‘ Victory, Victory ’,
adding ‘ Thou art God, Merciful to the Lowly. This we have now fully understood. 78. As the rays proceed from the sun, as gold comes out of clay, so we Thy bhaktas are purified by Thee, Shii Hari.
79. Or as trees develop from water, or as clusters of stars arise in the heaven, so we Thy bhaktas are ( dependent on ) Thee, Shri HarL
80. As cloth comes from threads, as light comes from lamps, so we Thy bhaktas are purified by Thee, Shri HarL
81. As fishes develop from water, as honey comes from flowers, so we Thy bhaktas seem important because of Thee.
82. As the bracelet is made of gold, as the wind comes out of the sky, so we Thy bhaktas have become avatars on earth with human qualities.
83. As the dolls of the juggler are made to dance by pulling a string, so Thou noble Earn, didst
cause us to capture Ceylon.
84. A fife gives out a sweet sound, but it must be played by one who knows how to play it ; so during the avatarship of Krishna, Thou didst perform great deeds through us.
85. According to Thy will, everything, Brahmadev and the other gods included, come into existence and then disappear. At Thy will, Thou hast created an infinite number of universes, and then Thou dost destroy them.
86. So according to Thy command, 0 Vishnu, we will hasten and turn mankind to Thy worship.’
87. Having heard their reply, the Husband of Kamala (Vishnu) replied to Uddhava, ‘ I wish you to become an avatar by name of Namdev in the family line of a tailor*
88. And in becoming that avatar on earth in the sacred city of Pandhari, cause men to hear the infinite number of my names.
89. The deeds which I showed you in my avatars as Ram and Krishna, I wish you to make known to the ears of mankind-
90. In the Kali Yuga my name is the Only Saviour.’ Thus spokethe Husband of Rama to Uddhava.
91. Vishnu then said to Shuka, ‘ I wish you to become an avatar in the family of a Muhammadan, and I will give you birth in an unusual way.
92. Become my Bhakta Kabir. Go there as my representative and proclaim widely the extraordinary power of my name.’
93. Then Vishnu said to Valmiki, ‘ I wish you to become the Brahman Tulsidas and cause men to realize in this Kali Yuga an intense love for worship.
94. You composed the Rarmyana, a thousand million verses in which you spoke of the future
You should describe the same glory in the vernacular (Hindi) language, and turn men to worship me.’
95. ‘ Daruka, I wish you to become at once at Dakur the Brahman Ramdas, and in return for your devotion for me I will rush to your aid from Dvaraka.’
96. The Creator of the universe said to Shiva, ‘ I wish you to become Narsi Mehta and cause the inhabitants of Junagad to hear the stories connected with the path of devotion.
97. 1 wish you to hasten before me. I also will soon follow you in the form of Dnyaneshwar.I shall explain the meaning of the Bhagavadgita.
98. Brahmadev will become Sopan; Sadashiv will become Nivritti; Adimaya will become Muktabai ; and descend to the earth as avatars. ’
99. So spoke Vishnu and all clapped their hands with cries of ‘Victory, Victory, ’ and the gods showered flowers upon them. The immortals rejoiced.
100. They said, ‘Blessed is this day; the Life of the World has been pleased with us. We will now descend to the world of mortals and carry on our work of salvation.
101. The world of mortals seems to us to be superior to the heavens, Vaikuntha and Kailas. Here both sin and righteousness are harvested, as also sacrifices and offerings.
103. As the fruit of good deeds done in the world of action comes to an end in heaven, souls are pushed back to the world of action.
103. In this world of mortals it is possible to be united to the feet of Hari. In this world of mortals, one can attain to Hari’s heaven. Through birth here, the praise of Hari falls on the ears of every one.
104 Therefore, we gods will become avatars.’ Thus speaking the gods returned to the
heaven of Indra.
105. The noble Vaishnavas will now become avatars as we shall see, in order to save the
world. Let your ears now listen to the stories of saints.
106. Perhaps you will say in your mind, that these stories are not in the 'Puranas composed by Vyas. By bringing this into your mind, you will fall into the forest of doubte,
107. Still, in the latter part of the Bhavtshya Puarana, Vyas himself declared that in the Kali Yuya the
bhaktos in heaven will become avatars voluntarily among a race of inferior beings.
108. They will perform in men’s sight the most remarkable deeds and cause Vishnu Himself
to be subject to them. They will proclaim the glory of God’s name and be filled withthe knowledge of the Vedanta.
