When Krishna Comes to this World
In the Bhagavad-gita Krishna states that He comes to this world
whenever there is a rise in religion and a decline in religion. He
comes to re-establish religious principles, annihilate the
miscreants, and protect the devotees.By the phrase "rise in
irreligion," Krishna indicates that irreligious activities such as
meat eating, illicit sex, intoxication, gambling, and Godlessness in
general are widespread. In the modern age, we not only find the
majority of the populace performing these irreligious acts, but
the government and leaders in general are encouraging irreligion.
One who performs irreligious acts is breaking "the laws of God, which
are immutable. Modern theologians very enthusiastically declare that
religious principles must be changed or adapted
to meet the changing conditions in this world. But God does not see
things this way. He holds one responsible for breaking His laws
regardless of what excuse one may offer, or what theologian one may
quote.
In this age of Kali (quarrel) Krishna appears as His Holy Names: Hare
Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna
Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare'
Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. Simply by worshiping Him by chanting these
names, one can attain all spiritual perfection and be freed from the
influence of this dark age.
