Advantages of Kali yuga

  • A living being does not become a victim of a sinful act until the act is actually performed. In other ages, simply by thinking of performing a sinful act, one used to become a victim of the act.
  • On the contrary, a living being in this age is awarded with the results of pious acts simply by thinking of them.
  • One can attain salvation simply by chanting the holy name of the Lord.
  • In the Vedas also it is said that by discourse on Lord Krsna's activities, one can get rid of all the disadvantages of the age of Kali.
  • In the beginning of the Srimad-Bhagavatam it is also said that by the recitation of Srimad-Bhagavatam, the Supreme Lord becomes at once arrested within one's heart.
