📖 Kali Yuga Diwas Story (Katha)
According to Hindu scriptures, Kali Yuga began immediately after Lord Krishna’s departure from the mortal world.
With Krishna’s exit, divine protection withdrew, and Kali Yuga—an age of conflict, ignorance, and moral decline—commenced.
However, scriptures emphasize that bhakti (devotion) is the easiest and most powerful path to liberation in Kali Yuga.
