Question: I am a devotee of Sri Ramakrishna. I am doing my B.Sc. I found that Swami Vivekananda once said that with the advent of Sri Ramakrishna Avatar the Satya Yuga has begun. Again we find Sri Ramakrishna saying,”Naradiya Bhakti in the Kali Yuga”, “Kalite vedmat chale na”(The path of Vedas is not for the Kali Yuga), “Kalite annagata pran”- about religion in the Kali Yuga. My question is, is Sri Ramakrishna stressing on the principles of Dharma of the Kali Yuga because we are living in a transitional phase between Kali & Satya Yuga? I am eager to know how we can correlate Swamiji’s declaration (begining of Satya Yuga with Sri Ramakrishna) & Thakur’s advices on religion in the Kali Yuga. I will be very grateful to you if you kindly enlighten me about how Yugavatar Sri Ramakrishna has been a bridge between the essentials of Kali Yuga & Satya Yuga.
Answer: It is extremely difficult to understand what Swamiji has definitely meant by Satyayuga. But, since he has said, it has to become. Only we have to wait and see. But, one thing is certain because of the advent of Sri Ramakrishna – the Hindu religion has been saved. I am also sure that the whole world has to turn towards the religion of Sri Ramakrishna which lays emphasis on the unity of religions.
