Topic: Kali Yukam


In the News (Mon 28 Dec 09)

  
  Kali Yuga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kali Yuga is sometimes referred to as the Dark age (Iron Age), mainly because people are the furthest possible from god.
Kali Yuga should not be confused with the goddess Kali, as they are unrelated words in the Sanskrit language.
The "kali" of Kali Yuga means "terrible," whereas the goddess "Kali" is the feminine form of "Kala," which means "time." Though, it is believed that Kali is the one that governs the this age.

In the second Yukam, called Chathura Yukam, one of the six pieces of Kroni was formed into a creature with the name of Kuntomasali.
Towards the end of Dwapara Yukam, Thirumal (Vishnu), through the instrumentality of the Seven Virgins(Saptha Kanniyar), had begotten seven sons, the Santror Makkal (see:Santror Pirappu) in order to accomplish the task of destroying the Kalineesan and Kali mayai (Kali Yuga Maya) that were to be countered in the following Kali Yukam.
Hearing the sound of the conch-shell, all that befitted Dharma Yukam - the virtues, the Sastirankal, the plants and trees, the reptiles and the birds, the divine women and their children - all gathered around Vaikundar.

The descent from Satya to Kali is associated with progressively deterioration of Dharma (righteousness) manifested as decrease in length of human life and quality of human moral standards.
In the lowest phase, Kali Yuga, most people are aware only of the physical aspect of existence, the predominant emphasis of living is material survival, and power is mostly in the hands of men.
As the Kali began to ascend again, scholars of the time recognized that there was a mistake in the date (then being called 3600+ Kali, although their texts said Kali had only 1200 years).

The ascending phase of Kali Yuga began in September of 499 CE.
According to Vedic Cosmologist Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet, the numbers given for the yuga are to be understood as seconds of degrees of arc of precessional movement (precession of the equinoxes).
Therefore, in her seeing of the yugas the Kali Yuga equals 432,000 seconds of arc, which equals 120 degrees of the 360 degrees of the 25,920 year procession (120*x 60'x 60 seconds of arc = 432,000").

Though the belief in kali was in vogue in the sanskritic Hindu religious tradition as well, it seems to have operated in a different way in Ayyavazhi because of the reinterpretation.
Taking the basic premise of this extant belief that the present age is a Kali Yukam, an age filled with the evil force of kali (not the Hindu deity), Ayyavazhi assigned a new meaning to it.
Kalineesan, who settled on earth to reign over the age of Kali as the king of Thiruvithankur, became the visible representation of the evil force of Kali, oppressing the people because of this Kalimayai.

But in Kali Yukam, due to the cruel nature of the boons offered to Kaliyan, Thirumal cannot destroy the sixth fragment of Kroni directly so all God-heads were unified into the Ekam, and Ekam Incarnated in the world as Trinity (Ekam, Narayana and Human) to overcome the boons and to destroy Kali.
For the Kali Yukam, Ayyavazhi claims that Vaikundar was the only worshippable God and hence, the theology of Ayyavazhi was channeled towards exclusivism.
The basis of the belief is that Ayya Vaikundar had come to establish and rule over the Dharma Yukam in the place of Kali Yukam by sentencing Kroni to hell by the final judgement to him.

Each ascending phase of the cycle from Kali Yuga to Satya Yuga is followed by a descending phase back to Kali Yuga, then another ascending phase and so on.
Hence according to these men 1200 years of Kali Yuga must be equal to 432,000 years of our earth." According to Yukteswar's book, written in 1894, our sun is part of a binary system, orbiting another star, with an orbital period of about 24,000 years.

According to the Akilattirattu Ammanai, the Ayyavazhi holy book, Kroni was born in the first of the Eight Yukams (aeons) with multitudinous limbs each the size of a mountain, and was the first evil to be born in the Universe.
In all the yukams Mayon had to incarnate in the world to destroy the evils.
Kroni, the spirit of Kali Yuga, is said to be omnipresent in the present age, and this why one of the reasons why followers of Ayya Vazhi, like other Hindus, believe that the current yuga, Kali Yuga, is so degraded.

 Kaliyan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kaliyan was the sixth fragment of the primordial manifestation of Kroni (evil) according to Akilam, the source of Ayyavazhi mythology and the holy book of Ayyavazhi religion.
And by the sixth fragment, Kroni still have a birth in Kali Yukam." He also requested that in this yukam his sixth fragment should be created with a body with eight chans (spans - distance from the end of the thumb to the end of the little finger extended).
Thirumal replied, "When the Kali was defeated it will be away from you." By carrying this money Kaliyan told Kalicchi that, we have now with us what ever we need.

Kroni, the spirit of Kali Yuga, is said to be omnipresent in this age and this is one of the reasons why the followers of Ayyavazhi, like other Hindus, believe that the current yuga, Kali Yuga, is so decadent.
The view on Kali is different and it was personified in Ayyavazhi, which was not found in Hinduism.
The core of the proposal was that Ayya Vaikundar had come to establish and rule over the Dharma Yukam in the place of Kali Yukam by sentencing Kroni to hell by the final judgement to him.

Since all were unified in Vaikundar, in Kali Yukam Vaikundar was the Supreme Power and he was the only worshipable God.
Then in the second part the book says about the God incarnating in the world in the Kali Yukam (the present age) inorder to destroy the evil spirit, the final and the most serious manifestation of Kroni.

 Kali - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Kali
Kali is usually depicted with four arms, but sometimes has up to ten, signifying her greater-than-human power.
Kali is often shown standing on Shiva, who is lying below her feet.

Further decline brings about the Dwapara Yuga, and after it comes the final and dark Kali Yuga, a time of wickedness, when man kills man. At the end of the cycle a Divine Being is said to take birth and reestablish righteousness, thus beginning a new Satya Yuga.
In Ayyavazhi mythology, the Satya Yuga, or Dharma Yukam, is the eighth or final yukam (yuga).
By destroying all the evils that were the fragments of Kroni, the primordial personification of the evil spirit in the successive yukams of Neetiya Yukam, God, who was incarnated as Ayya Vaikundar, rules this yukam as an uncounterable king with the Santror Makkal.

However, in this the sixth yuga, Kroni was called Kali (also Kalineesan and Kaliyan), (not the Hindu deity) and having no physical form (see Pre-Incarnational Events for this account) he occupied the mind of people of earth as the Mayai (illusion), causing them to behave discourteously.
People were enjoined to serve as catalysts for the destruction of Kali by transforming themselves to be 'people of Dharma Yukam' and to acquire a new character.

An alternative view of the yuga cycle and timescale was taught by the 19th-century Indian yogi Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, guru of Paramahansa Yogananda.
In The Holy Science, Sri Yukteswar writes that the traditional view is based on a misunderstanding.
According to Sri Yukteswar, nobody wanted to announce the bad news of the beginning of the descending Kali Yuga, so they just kept adding years to the Dwapara date (at that time 2400 Dwapara).

Belief in Kali Yuga is one of the central beliefs that permeated the religious ethos of the followers of Ayyavazhi.
One of the constant refrains found in Akilattirattu is that Ayya Vaikundar had come to judge the Kalineesan and all those living under the illusion of kali.
A belief in the dawn of Dharma Yukam (a futuristic aeon characterized by the ideal of Dharmam, as explained below) seems to have influenced the tradition of Ayyavazhi from its earlier days.

As a principle, the followers of Ayyavazhi believed that the prime motive of the mission of Ayya Vaikundar was to establish Dharmam in this world by destroying the evil force of Kali.
It is said in Akilattirattu that people, even while listening to the teachings of Ayya Vaikundar, 'realised' that the evil of Kali was gradually being withdrawn from the world and that Dharmam was being established in its stead.
Transposed to the social plane, this principle of Dharmam was considered as the mission of "protecting or salvaging the lowly, the oppressed."
