The Day when Right became wrong

Those were the days when King Parikshit is the ruler of the state. Its nearly 36 years after King Yudhistara left the kingdom to his grandson Parikshit to heavenly abode. Kali Purusha, who is the lead man for Kali Yuga did not dare to start his influences when Yudhistara was the king. Such was the power of the satvik and dharmic king.

A case was brought to King’s court for justice. Ramu and Somu were the parties to the case. Ramu sold his farm land to Somu few days and while ploughing the land Somu found a pot full of gold. Somu felt that the gold is legal propriety of Ramu as he merely paid for the land and not for the wealth underneath. Similarly Ramu felt that as the farm land is no longer his, the legal owner of the gold must be Somu. Both Ramu and Somu refused to lay hands on gold. King was pleasantly surprised at the Dharmic life his people are leading. He, how ever, wanted to give the case profound thought before delivering justice and so asked Ramu and Somu to assemble next morning in the court. Little did he know that the night would bring up new surprise at that point.

Kali purusha who was silent till that point sensed his time to exercise influence influence over people has finally come. He has got into minds of the people and started making them deviate from Dharmic life. Deviation from Dharmic life is first trait of Kali.

Next morning when the King appeared the case was completely different. Now both Ramu and Somu are fighting to become legal owners of the gold. King sensed something wrong as previous day they were relinquishing gold for same of Dharma. Serious contemplation and discussion with pundits gave him hint that Kali Yuga has started. He then ordered the gold to be handed over to king’s treasury, as any disputed property goes as per Dharma. He also put necessary steps in place to keep Kali in check. But all have gone in drain as Kali grew stronger and stronger.
