In Kali Yuga, Spiritual Winter, things are grim. Eastern scriptures written hundred of years ago tell of a short life, physical and mental diseases, fighting for food, and other difficult conditions. According to those scriptures, we are in the beginning stages of Kali Yuga. We currently live in an oasis of plenty, but most of us are looking over our shoulders at a host of potential personal and world problems. Now you can learn to access the power of ancient sanskrit mantras with meditation practices for your own spiritual growth and protection during Kali Yuga.
