The Influence ofKali-yuga
Even fifty years ago, die social structure of all Indians was so
arranged mat tiiey would not read any literature mat was not connected with the
activities of the Lord. They would not play any drama not connected with the
Lord. They would not organize a fair or ceremony not connected with the Lord.
Therefore even the common man in the village would talk about Ramayana and
Mahabhdrata, Gita and Bhagavatam, even from his very childhood. But by the
influence of the age of Kali, they have been dragged to the civilization of the
dogs and hogs, labouring for bread without any sense of transcenŽdental
knowledge.1
