The Onslaught of Kali Yuga

So we can see that as the kali-yuga (era of quarrel and hypocrisy) progresses, the standard of religiosity and morality as set by the Vedas as well as other traditions is under full attack. Various agendas that are contrary to vedic principles are widely promoted and supported even by leaders of great nations. On the path of the search for truth one finds, in addition to hypocrisy, new brands of atheistic so called spirituality. All of this was anticipated in the Srimad Bhagavatam (1.1.10):  "O learned one, in this iron age of kali men have but short lives. They are quarrelsome, lazy, misguided, unlucky and, above all, always disturbed."  Considering the circumstances  we should accept the advice also given to citizens of kali-yuga. From the Brhan-naradiya Puraṇa (38.126)  "In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy, the only means of deliverance is the chanting of the holy name of the Lord. There is no other way. There is no other way. There is no other way"  And from the Kali-santarana Upanisad  in  Krishna Yajur Veda: "The sixteen names of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra: hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare, hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare destroy all the inauspiciousness of the kali-yuga. This is the conclusion of all the Vedas."
