Hindu mythology - Relation between Kalyug and Corruption

9:01 AM Posted by iSachin 3 comments
I have always heard about it, sometimes experienced it, but this something else. We all have heard about amount of corruption in the country but we are least bothered about it because it won’t affect us. Our thinking is poor in the villages are affected by it, we in the cities are not but if you look closely it has been impacted us a lot but we are so used to it that we don't fill it. It has become like a love of our mother which we never care cause we are used to it.

Every one from there childhood learn right things and wrong things. We also learn about our culture. Mythologies like Yuga's and Dharmas but we tend to ignore it. I always wonder that being immoral is not a good thing but then why there is so much wrong in thing world. Leave world, just talk of India.

If you look closely corruption and Hinduism look tightly linked. Now you would agree that how come Hinduism is connected to corruption. Every country has it but they also have corruption. I have to say yes for that but the scale at which corruption happens here is unheard of.

As whole world know we are very religious and traditional people. We should be god fearing, Corruption is sin but we ignore cause 'Kalyug hai bhai?'. It is in our mythologies that these kind of things are bound to happen.

We all talk about Kalyug but do we really know it. Let me give some gyaan about it :-).



When Lord Krishna died, the Kalyug began. It started out mild and grew from there. This happened in 3102 BCE and lasted for exactly 432 000 years and ends.

The first Yuga is the Satya and is a temporal period during which purity and truth are dominant virtues. During the Satyuga people are god-like and exist perfectly and without vice. Knowledge of God is intrinsic to the people during this period. It is the golden age of Hindu tradition. Each successive Yuga hence renders a 25% decrease in humans' dharma (smirtis: moral order). Humanity's capacity and desire for that which is good and right diminishes. The second Yuga is Treta (the silver age). The third is Dvapara (bronze). The last is the Kali Yuga.

The Kalyug is the last of the four Hindu Yugas. It is most often referred to as the Dark Age or Iron Age and is one of four Yugas which form what is known as a Yogic cycle.

No wonder our country is so poor even after having greatest skilled workforce, largest resources and most fertile land on earth. What happens with the money we pay to the government. It don't reach to the poor not to us. It directly goes these corrupt people which is main impact of Kalyug. Ha ha ha.......

There are many thing in our mythologies which are wrong but we follow it like
See i told you we are supposed to be corrupt in this age, some people taking this way seriously and following the Kalyug Dharma. We are following that by ignoring it. May be our ancestors were correct and we deserve this.

In modern times people don't follow the tradition but we believe in Dharma and we are follow it religiously but is that this has to be Kalyug and not any other Yug. I don't think that we can change the Kalyug which is the time period but surely we can change the behavior we think and work.

I got idea for this from my previous Blog. I thought it would be my 'Dharma' write something about it and divert our attention toward the brazen ignorance of wrongs in our society and country as whole.

On more positive note lets try to end thing kalyug if ending is not possible, try to reduce it (some people surely heard this some where...ha ha ha.).

Dear Sachin

very first I want to clear ....That there is no religion named Hindu Or Hinduism....

Hind/Indus is name derived from "Sindh" ...means area where the "Sindhu River" or "Sapta Sindhu Rivers" are
are in flow...The people lived in this region are called Hindu...This name is given to us by outsiders....

Then question arises what should be our religion name?

Answer :
1) Vedic (Followers od Vedic Scriptures..)
2) Sanatan (Oldest)
