Kali-yuga’s Degradation, the Advent of Kalki, and the Reset of the Yuga Cycle
विष्णोर्भगवतो भानु: कृष्णाख्योऽसौ दिवं गत: । तदाविशत् कलिर्लोकं पापे यद् रमते जन: ॥ २९ ॥
viṣṇor bhagavato bhānuḥ kṛṣṇākhyo ’sau divaṁ gataḥ tadāviśat kalir lokaṁ pāpe yad ramate janaḥ
至上主毗湿奴,光辉如日、名为克里希纳者,回归灵性天界之时,迦梨便入于世间,人们遂开始以罪业为乐。
This verse states that when Lord Kṛṣṇa—the radiant light of Bhagavān Viṣṇu—departed, Kali entered the world because people had begun to delight in sinful life.
Śukadeva explains that Kali gains access where adharma increases—when people become attracted to pāpa (sin), the conditions for Kali-yuga’s influence manifest.
Reduce voluntary sinful habits and increase sāttvika living and bhakti—especially remembrance of Kṛṣṇa—so that Kali’s influence weakens in one’s personal life.
