The worship of devi-devas is the practice of earlier yugas – dwapara and treta. In Kali Yuga, the human race is supposed to ascent spiritually from the level of gods to supramental realization through the medium of realized sages in order to be qualified to be born in satya yuga, the all divine golden age. Kali yuga is the age of supramental evolution towards satya yuga. The Hindus have not started their spiritual journey in this kali yuga. Now Hindus should abandon all divisive ideologies and vulgar worship which the sectarian puranas, tantric philosophy as well as some dharma shastras have popularized and follow the true religion and philosophy found in the Upanishads and the teachings of Bhagavat Gita, Guru Gita, etc. The Hindu mind is deeply conditioned and so they are unable to realize the truth that yuga dharma undergoes change according to the age. The dharma or the method of worship followed in treta and dwapara does not yield any good now spiritually. So, on the onset of Kaliyuga Sri Krishna advised the people to abandon the old worship pattern and to take refuge in Him, the medium God has sent for spiritual guidance. Unfortunately, Hindus made him another god, equating him with Vishnu. Then Buddha came followed by several others. Still Hindus did not realize the truth. Then God sent messengers in other parts of the world. Probably, God is now punishing Hindus for their mistakes through the followers of these religions. If the Hindus do not give heed to the voice of the rishis, great calamities await them as in the past.
Hindus should realize that the cosmology of Sanatana Dharma rests on the concept of Manu and Manvantara and on the teachings of the sages who appear in the Manu lineage from time to time. The basis of Upanishads is this guru-sishya relationship. Why did the rishis calculate cosmic time with the age of Manu (Manvantara)? The reason is that a solar system and life is created by the sankalpam of Manus. This Manu is not the author of Manu Smriti with the same name. Manu is the first projection of impersonal Brahman, referred as Purusha, Hiranyagabha, etc. in the Vedas and puranas. Spiritual guidance comes through the gurus or sages, who appear from time to time in every yuga. But this cosmology has been distorted. Now the worship of thirty three billion gods through the medium of priests and temples is followed by Hindus. From caste to caste, from village to village, from town to town, deities of different fashion are worshiped. The sage tradition and the Ashram culture is lost, which is the source of true spiritual wisdom.
Hindus have become favor seekers from the gods and demigods installed in temples. They do not find any distinction whether it is a church or mosque, if favors are promised, they go and kneel anywhere. They follow the false gurus and ashrams that have no awareness about the true tenets of Sanatana dharma and get cheated. Hindus have lost their character, forgotten the true teachings of the rishis and it is the children of these people who despise their own religion and culture, because they have not been taught the true dharma. They have no sense that they have to protect their religion and culture from the onslaught of imperfect theologies that came from outside in the form of Christianity, Islam, Marxism, etc. I request all Hindu brothers to think deeply and find out the root of actual Sanatana Dharma, which only is destined to become the basis of a world religion.
