Asked whether satellite crashes, heatwaves, and landslides signal that the world has fully entered the Age of Kali, Guru Shyama Khyapa traces Kali's arrival to King Parikshit and the four places the king allowed Kali to dwell: alcohol, the buying and selling of women, gambling, and gold. He describes modern environmental decay—cement cities, lost forests, depleted groundwater, warming oceans, and orbiting debris—as the visible cost of this age, warning that concluding eras bring volcanoes, earthquakes, and floods.
The Origins: King Parikshit and the Four Places of Kali
The arrival of Kali dates back to the time of King Parikshit after the Kurukshetra war. Kali appeared to the King as a hideous man beating a three-legged cow. He admitted his nature was cruelty—stating he would "cut out tongues and sell kidneys," which we see literally happening today.
King Parikshit eventually granted Kali four places to reside:
- Wherever alcohol is consumed.
- Wherever women are bought and sold (exploitation).
- Wherever gambling occurs.
- And finally, in gold.
Because the King wore a golden crown, Kali was able to influence his mind, leading him to insult a meditating sage. This resulted in a curse that caused the King's death by the snake Takshaka, after which Kali entered the world without resistance.
Environmental Decay: The Concrete Heat
Pollution of Water, Land, and Sky
The pollution has now reached the sky. Thousands of satellites and space debris are orbiting the earth. If these materials—often containing toxic elements like uranium—crash back to earth, they will cause unprecedented diseases. The failure of space missions is a warning that we have reached a breaking point.
