Yuga-Dharma Framework, Kali-Yuga Diagnosis, and the Hari-Nāma Remedy
Transition to Vedānta Inquiry
अहोरात्रं हरेर्नाम कीर्तयंति च ये नराः । कुर्वंति हरिपूजां वा न कलिर्बाधते च तान् ॥ ९३ ॥
ahorātraṃ harernāma kīrtayaṃti ca ye narāḥ | kurvaṃti haripūjāṃ vā na kalirbādhate ca tān || 93 ||
凡昼夜歌咏哈利(Hari)圣名之人,或修行供奉哈利之人,皆不为迦利之势所扰所害。
Sanatkumāra (in dialogue with Nārada)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It declares that continuous remembrance of Vishnu—especially through Hari-nāma kīrtana and Haripūjā—acts as spiritual protection, preventing the corrupting influence of Kali from overpowering the devotee.
Bhakti is presented as accessible and effective: either vocal devotion (kīrtana of Hari’s name) or ritual devotion (worship of Hari). Both anchor the mind in Vishnu and thereby neutralize Kali’s disturbances.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is daily sādhana—regular nāma-kīrtana and pūjā as a disciplined dharmic practice suited for Kali-yuga.
