Supreme power exists even in this Kali Yug

Many people doubt whether God or the Supreme power exists in this Kali Yug or not. The answer is ‘yes’. Some elderly people say God’s power was in full swing in the Satya Yug. It narrowed down to a small extent in the Tretaya Yug. It further reduced in the dwapara Yug. And in the ongoing Kali Yug there is hardly any power of God. Even I know about some societies which prove – there is nothing called God; everything is just science. But there are many instances for which science does not have an answer. Why the lights are naturally burn in the Jwala Devi temple days and nights? How people know about Veda even in this twenty first century? Why man is still mortal despite the latest technology? In this article I would like to establish another truth regarding presence of the Supreme power even in this Kali Yug.

Yesterday I watched an episode of Amar Chitra Katha in TV. Tales from mythology are the subject of Amar Chitra Katha. The tale I watched was as follows:

Once two devas visited Lord Vishnu’s abode in the milk ocean (Khir Sagar) and found Him sleeping. They got astonished about how the God, who brings up the creation, can sleep. Anyway, when they were about to leave the place Lord Brahma arrived. He too found Lord Vishnu sleeping and waited for a while when He awoke. But till then Brahma was angry because He was not welcome properly. He wanted an answer about the disrespect and in return Lord Vishnu replied that He does not deserve the same. Soon the two Gods were in fight to decide who is mightier. Seeing the creator and operator of the universe in fight the two devas left the place to approach Lord Shiva to intervene. When Brahma and Vishnu were applying their weapons to each other in the space a gigantic beam of fire intervened. Now, Brahma decided to find the upper end of the huge fire beam and Vishnu went to find the lower end. Both of them measured thousands of light years but in vain. Yet, Brahma found a lady named Ketaki (a flower) who requested to stop the fight. Brahma agreed but with the condition that she will present herself as a witness before Lord Vishnu and state that Brahma found the upper cap. She did accordingly. Now, Lord Shiva emerged out of the fire beam and conveyed His dissatisfaction on the quarrel between the two Gods of the trinity. In between Vishnu had already realized that He should not have fought. He got down from His carrier Garuda and expressed sorry for His deed with joint palms but Brahma did nothing. Finally, Lord Shiva announced the verdict. He said, “Ketaki (flower) will no more be used in the worship of Lord Shiva and no people will worship Lord Brahma.”

In today’s time we have seen plenty of temples dedicated to different Gods, but have you seen a Brahma temple? I don’t think there is a Brahma temple anywhere. In Ranipur Jharial of Odisha, in the middle of the Chausathi Yogini temple an idol is there, which some people believe as the statue of Lord Brahma. But there is no solid evidence to its support. Now, one can argue it is just a tale, which is a fiction. I accept. But in this twenty first century when people set up a lot of temples to worship different Gods, why no one does build a Brahma temple? Because it is due to the curse of Lord Shiva narrated in the tale. And so it is proved that even in this Kali Yug the Supreme power exists very well.
