Kaliyuga / ಕಲಿಯುಗ

The present age is influenced by  age of the Kali Yuga. From the days of the battle of Kurukshetra about five thousand years ago, the influence of Kali Yuga began to manifest itself and the age of Kali Yuga is known to be 4,27,000 years . We have already learned that the influence of Kali, the influence of Kaliyuga, the so-called godless citizen, who is under the protection of the Lord, is meant for this dreaded Kaliyuga.

Maharaja Yudhishthira was a great devotee of the Lord, and he did not need to fear Kaliyuga, but he gave  retire from active family life and prepared himself to return to God. Pandavas are the eternal companions of the Lord, hence they are more interested in the company of the Lord than anything else, being an ideal king, Maharaja Yudhisira wanted to retire to set an example for others.   Modern politicians should take a clue from B Maharaja Yudhita, who retired from active life, and allow the younger generation, even the elderly, to take their lessons and leave home for spiritual realization before they are forced to confront us.
