According to legend, Kali Purusha is created by Lord Brahma during the end of the Dwapara Yuga. He is having the features of Lord Brahma and contains his powers. He has been deputed by Lord Brahma to cause harm to the sinful people, and to even change the minds of the noble people, in order to make them to commit crimes. Though he is considered as a wicked demon, he is doing his duty as per the Yuga Dharma, and as per the orders of Lord Brahma.
He appears very ugly, and contains a dark face. During the Dwapara Yuga, he appeared before the great Yudhishtira and promised him that he would not give any sort of problems to his kingdom. In general, he would not give troubles to the Bhaktas, who dedicate their entire attention on god. He dwells in the hearts of the bad people, and forces them to commit mistakes like doing theft, murdering others, raping women, disrespecting others and acquiring the property of innocent people etc.
He will reside in places like gambling centres, butchery shops, drugs and wine selling places, and in the minds of non-believers of god. He will make the people to get angry over others, and induce them to attack others. He would induce the bad habits in the minds of the people like fear, lust and jealousy, and due to that, people would do lot of bad deeds in their life.
It is highly recommended to do “NAMA JAPAM”, in order to control our senses, and to avoid committing crimes. Among the “NAMA JAPAM”, “RAMA NAMA JAPAM”, is the most effective one, and it removes the bad thoughts of the people, and makes them to become pure and pious in their life.
Apart from worshipping the almighty and doing “NAMA JAPAM”, in order to safeguard ourselves from the clutches of the Kali Purusha, daily at least once, we can pray to him, not to give troubles in our life, and not to interfere in our life. As per the sayings of the Kali Purusha, those who give respect to him, and those who do good deeds in their life, he would not give big troubles in their life.
According to Hindu religion, Kali is the god of the Kali Yuga who gives lot of sufferings to the people. After the end of Kaliyuga, he will be destroyed by Lord Kalki Bhagawan, the divine avatar of Lord Vishnu. As per puranas, Kaliyuga will come to an end only after 4,26,000 plus years. Till such time, we have to suffer from the clutches of “KALI PURUSHA”. As per the Kalki Purana, he is described as a powerful demon and he is the main source of all the evil things happening in our life. Through his evil influence, the great king Nala placed dice game with his brother and lost all of his riches and was exiled from his kingdom and went to the forest along with his wife Damayanti.
It is also believed that the pandavas were exiled from their country and suffered in the forest for several years due to the evil influence of Kali Purush.
At the beginning of Kali Yuga, Kali asked king Parikshit to give permission to enter into his kingdom. The king allowed him five places to reside: gambling, alcohol consumption, prostitution, animal slaughter and gold. Due to the evil influence of Kali, Parikshit asked for water to the sage Shamika. Since the sage was in deep meditation, he didn’t answer to the king. King parikshit had got angry with him and he took a dead snake and put it in the neck of the sage. After some time, the sage’s son Shringin, cursed the king to die of snake bite.
KALI PURUSH looks ugly with a terrible black coloured body with a large mouth and contains gigantic shape.
As per Vedavyasa, by regularly reading the ancient puranas and Bhagavatham, we can escape from the ill effects of Kali purush.
As per the Bhagavata Purana, the day when Lord Krishna left this earth, Kali, immediately entered into the world, and from then onwards he created lot of troubles and confusions in the minds of the people.
During this Kali yuga, dharma will not be there. And the earth goddess will be standing in one leg. Most of the people’s mind will get diverted and they will try to do unwanted things due to the evil influence of KALI PURUSHA.
As per the ancient puranas, Lord Brahma is the grandfather of Kali. Since this yuga is known as kali yuga, he has created kali and sent him to dwell in the hearts of the people in the earth.
BHAKTI PATH AND CHARITY
By adopting the bhakti path, and doing charity works, we can reduce the ill effects caused by Kali. We can recite the god’s names frequently and even while doing our regular routine work. By keep on chanting the mantras and names of gods and goddesses, Kali purusha will find it difficult to enter into our body and to give troubles to us.
Apart from Nama Japam, we can also do lot of charitable works like giving food, providing clothes and arranging shelters for the poor people, and can educate the orphans and poor children. We can also do lot of pujas, abhishekhams and homams in the temples and can reduce the sufferings given by the Kali Purusha. We have to give respect to the elderly people and to our parents and generally we should move softly with other people, and should not get angry over others, even when they create any problems for us. Our sufferings would come to an end once we get the mercy and blessings from the gods.
Let us do good things in our life and be blessed.
