HOW THE NEW SPIRITUAL AWARENESS WILL SPREAD AROUND THE WORLD

In regard to how this new spiritual awareness will spread, let us remember the purpose of the higher spiritual knowledge which is preserved and presented in the Vedic literature. It is explained in the Kalki Purana (25.5-6) that “Just to fulfill the desires of materialistic people, the Vedas propagate the path of fruitive action. At the same time, the Vedas establish the genuine principles of religion and present the path of pure devotional service to the Lord. Under the guidance of the Vedas, great sages like Vatsyayana propagate the worship of Lord Hari [Vishnu], the master of the universe, within human society.”

This explains the real purpose of the Vedic literature. However, Lord Kalki further explains: “The twice-born devotees [those initiated by proper spiritual gurus or teachers] who preach the [real] purport of the Vedas, and who are themselves personifications of the Vedas, please Me to such an extent that none of the demigods or anyone else can. The Vedic knowledge has spread only by the work of those who are twice-born. All of the living entities in this world, who are My parts and parcels, are being protected by the Vedas. Therefore, it is to be concluded that those who are twice-born are the principal instruments for maintaining My body. That is why I offer My obeisances to the Brahmanas from My position in the mode of pure goodness. Those who are twice-born are the shelter of everyone and they serve Me, considering Me to be the basis of the entire universe.” (Kalki Purana 4.10-12)

In this way, those who are properly connected to the Lord and who actually understand the genuine and conclusive teachings of the Vedic spiritual knowledge can really help protect and spread this lofty nonmaterial awareness. The Vedic knowledge and its shabda-brahma spiritual vibration is considered part of the body of the Supreme, and thus helping preserve this Vedic tradition is also regarded to be a service and a form of maintaining the body of the Supreme, especially in this difficult age of Kali-yuga. Thus, no ordinary person, but only one who is empowered by the Lord can help protect and give this genuine spiritual knowledge to the people of the world.

As previously stated, in the Brahma-Vaivarta Purana, in a conversation with Ganga Devi, Lord Krishna describes that after 5,000 years of Kali-yuga have passed, His mantra upasaka, the great sage and worshiper of Krishna’s holy names, will appear and spread the chanting of Krishna’s names (in the form of the Hare Krishna mantra) not only in India but throughout the world. Lord Krishna explains that by the chanting of His holy names the world will become spiritualized and everyone will be Hari-bhaktas [devotees of Lord Hari, Krishna], engaged in the process of devotional yoga to the Supreme. The purified devotees will visit the holy places and holy rivers of India and will purify them. They will also purify those with whom they come in contact. In this
