Covid 19 or Corona virus- the pandemic.

   We are facing a world-wide panic due to widespread Covid19 or the Corona virus killing almost a lakh people! The worst affected are the Chinese, Italians, Greek and the European, Canadian and the US citizens. Put your finger on the world map, you will find a Covid19 afflicted person? However, these pandemics or endemics have occurred almost every century, almost regularly, in the past? We have had, cholera, Plague, two World Wars, numerous droughts, famines, floods, wildfires, etc and still happening!
  Remember, the Lord said, "I am Kaal (kalo'smi); I shall devour everything! I am Death." "I am Kaal (Time)" (BG 4 10.35-36, 33). There is a verse, hara kollal para kaayvane? This is what happens when people become self-centered and live a reckless life. He, the Lord had assured that He would protect all those who surrender to Him. Hence, the best thing is to spend the quarantine days and Lock-Down and curfew days in meditation and increase their level of consciousness- from that of mundane living to a higher spiritual state.
   The scriptures have given us ample data about things that happened to our Planet earth in bygone eras. Six Manvantaras have gone by and the seventh Vaivasvata is going out soon. Out of the first Six Manvantaras, the first three were just in the formation stage and the land and water got consolidated! The fourth onwards, things such as vegetal kingdom, followed by aquarian and arboreal life developed leading to amphibians, ending upin primates, monkeys! The 25 avataras of Vishnu, out of which ten are elaborately connected with these stages of evolution. Now, the Kaliyuga will end soon! The continents have disappeared during the upheavals and new lands have appeared.
 Now, to recollect the Lord's advise to Uddhava who came to meet Him before His departure to Vaikuntha, here Krishna said, the Kaliyuga will end disastrously. He said, "I am Kaal, I am Death, I shall devour everything!" Want more warnings? Whenever dharma is neglected by the humans, disasters await them in the form of wars, famines, pestilences, floods, droughts, fire hazards and tsunamis. All these have happened in the last few years! We have ignored all these! The next great upheaval will gobbled up everything man has created with his bloated ego!
  A large meteor is passing close-by and if it hits the Earth, the earth will get a rude shock and a brush. If it happens, the earth will start rotating East to West instead of West to East as it is today! This is the next warning!
 Hope the world will be a better place to live in the forthcoming months and years, if it survives? Best Wishes. What cannot be cured should be endured. Meditation is the greatest panacea.
   As a last resort, utmost, we can walk into Vaikuntha chanting the name of Narayana?
