Manvantara· The Manus and right dutyChanting Brings Hope in Kali-yuga
“Lord Rāmacandra became King during Tretā-yuga, but because of His good government, the age was like Satya-yuga. Everyone was religious and completely happy.”
What the purport teaches
- Although Lord Rāmacandra ruled during Tretā-yuga, His good government made the age like Satya-yuga. Everyone was religious and completely happy.
- The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is meant to bring the conditions of Satya-yuga even into Kali-yuga. Chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra frees one from material bondage and leads to the transcendental kingdom.
- Anyone, anywhere, can take up chanting with devotion and faith while following the rules and regulations. Even someone unable to give up sinful life immediately can become free from sinful activities through faithful chanting.
