Dwapar yug has ended and kaliyug is just beginning. Sages are performing a yagya called Brahma satra. (which would last 1000 years) in Naimisharanya forest which cannot be affected by kaliyug. The leader of the sages whose name is Shaunak welcomes and greets Ugrashrava who is also known as Suta. suta’s father Romharshana is the disciple of Ved Vyas from whom he learned the puranas. Shaunaka says that he is worried about the conditions of earth in kaliyug during which people live short lives and suffer from diseases and many illnesses. His mind is clouded with the evils of kama or lust, krodha or anger, lobha or greed, moha or delusion, mada or pride, matsarya or envy in addition to other smaller evils. In order for man to come out of maya he would have to study scriptures for which he has no time or desire so what one work would you recommend studying which a man can become pure and good and freed from bondage of karma.
Ugrashrava tells them that in kaliyug it will be next to impossible for ordinary man to contemplate on the Absolute/Brahman,but even the worst sinner can be saved if he listens to the stories of the Lord and his many avataras. The Bhagvad Puran will dispel the inner darkness in the minds of people of kaliyug.

Dear Yachanaji, Thank you very much. I would appreciate if you could please explain in details
various aspect of Mantra Meditation, its multifarious benefits and ways to get started. I have a question whether we should start for with 5 minutes chakra meditation and move on to mantra meditation.

Hello Ramani. I have posted two articles which will address your queries. For chakra meditation https://yachnayoga.wordpress.com/2016/05/18/chakra-meditation/ and for japa. And in this article I have touched upon mantra meditation https://yachnayoga.wordpress.com/2015/11/05/raising-your-vibration-from-low-to-high-how-to-make-the-shift/
Personally I prefer not to do too much chakra meditation. Maybe spend just 5 minutes. Japa meditation you can do as long as you like. But once you find a mantra stick with it. Don’t keep changing it. I personally have enjoyed japa as it raises my vibration and I feel mentally strong. You can make a mantra siddha by chanting it on an eclipse day. Starting when the eclipse begins and continuing until it is over. Don’t light any deepak or anything. Just use rosary to chant. Then on everyday basis do 1-2 rounds of a 108 bead mala. Do more if you have time. But don’t stop in the middle of the mala. Complete the round. Hope this helps.
