Yug-dharma

  The doctrine of dharma is a very scientific and rational one eulogized in all our scriptures like the agama shastras, veda and Upanishads and the Bhagavad-Gita. one should carefully study these scriptures in order to live a happy and peaceful life. In the first place, what is this yug-dharma? It is a secret that unfolds as time moves! The universe is well-programmed. Things happen according to the will of the Lord, rather as desired by Him! This is beautifully explained in the Gita.
   Although, yug or kaal (Time) is an illusion, it is the datum line! Since the very universe is a transcendental reality, the Time and Space that govern it are also not exempt from this illusion. The great sages visualized what happens in course of time and have instructed these visualized knowledge to their trusted disciples. Accordingly, whatever is concealed or hidden, or inherent and in-built in this capsule of Time (kaal) will unfold at the appropriate time, as per the will of the Lord. this is 'kaala-dharma'!
   Time and space constitute the dimensions in which we the humans live and work. The hidden aspect s the causality. Cause and effect are what we intellectually discern, but we will not understand how effect is hidden in the cause and this 'cause' is the 'desire' (ichha), the will of the Lord. Now, what is this hidden aspect? Desire creates resolve and action towards the fulfillment of the desire!  Thus, the Lord's Will be done!
   Over a period of seven eons, Manvantaras*, each one consisting of four quarters called 'yuga', the universe has expanded and cooled! The formation of the planets from the bursting solar flares, cooled over time is what we see as the planets in our solar system*. It is a mystery how this planet earth hosts diverse life forms, including the humans. There are stages in the development of this earth in which we trace evolution of life. One such is the present stage of the humans wo are just animals with an underdeveloped mind. This stage is a stage of very low level of consciousness where humanslive like animals just searching for food (wealth?), eating and sleeping, spending most of the time in an unending search for happiness! Little do these deluded humans know that their desires for carnal cravings can never ever be satiated!This sensuous objective phenomenal world is transient, delusive and not real! These humans are not following the dharma.
   Hence, the humans have to think about dharma, and the times in which they are living! This is the kali yuga, the fourth quarter and sharvari samvatsara in which e are living. This is the time when the human consciousness is at its lowest level. It is characterized by greed, hunger, poverty, avaricious and selfish nature. These are detrimental to human progress. Man will destroy order, dfy dharma and cause total destruction. This kali yuga will end disastrously giving rise to the next manvantara with a new Order- one of sattva.
