Shakti and the Yugs

There are four ages (yugs) and each age has its three symbolic resident divine powers. First when the age just begins, Mahasaraswati is predominant. Because the yug is in its infancy, it needs to learn, attain the knowledge of science and knowledge for overall progress. At that time Laksmi is not strong. Earlier, writers, thinkers, teachers were not bewildered by the opulence of Lakshmi. The service of Maa Saraswati was in penance form. When the age acquires adolescence, then on the same knowledge and dhyan (contemplation) Maa Lakshmi is benevolent. But slowly Maa Lakshmi starts to become domineering and Saraswati is commercialised then the balance of the maturing yug is disturbed. The entire mind force goes into holding on to Lakshmi and the fear of letting it slip constantly teases. Here ugliness and disease become predominant.

Then, Nature who is ever ready to bring back equilibrium to re-establish the truth, dons the form of Mahakali, creating mediums that destroys imperfection. This is known as time-requirement (sambhavami yuge-yuge). This is the destiny of every yug. During the time of Ram, the war was between paap-punya(good and evil). During the time of Krishn the war was between Dharm-Adharm. Now in Kaliyug, the war is between falsehood and truth. Falsehood will have to be negated.

To some people enlightenment comes before complete realization and to others, realization happens before enlightenment, but to be truly liberated .... poorn gyanmay bhaktimay and karmmay realization and enlightenment have to be experienced whole and complete.
