Sri Paraasharar - In spite of so many bad things which are going to happen in *Kali *yuga, where dharma is going to be destroyed, and all kinds of adharma will ensue, which were described, he continues about what Vyaasar has told about this.
Now, he is going to tell something good about Kali yuga. With very little effort, one can get punya. In the last shloka of the previous adhyaaya, it was concluded that whatever can be achieved with great tapas in Kruta yuga, can be achieved with little effort in Kali yuga. This continues now. I am going to tell you about that, listen to it. Paraasharar is telling what Vyaasar has told.

Sri Vishnu Puraanam – Amsha 6 All the great munis had gathered, and were discussing about punya vishaya. About what is going to give us punya.

In the first shloka, Paraasharar told about what Vyaasar has told to the rishis, about that very little effort within which great benefit can be gained. Paraasharar is continuing. All the great sages had gathered and were discussing about punya vishaya. They were discussing about what is to be done, and at what time it will happen. In order to get their doubts clarified, they approached Mahaamuni Vedavyaasa, and wanted to ask all these doubts, about the punya vishaya which they were discussing.

Sri Vishnu Puraanam – Amsha 6 Sri Paraasharar - Having heard them, Vyaasa smiled mildly and said “O great sages, do listen to me. About why I said saadhu saadhu”.
“You don’t even know this, is also the intended meaning here”. He gave the answer himself, and even though he gave the answer, the sages were not aware of that, so he was laughing, that they were not able to understand.

Whatever is done by Tapas, Brahmacharya, Japa, it can be achieved in Kali yuga in one day. That is why I said that Kali is saadhu.

In Kruta yuga, one has to do meditation, dhyaana. In Kruta yuga, it is possible for one to achieve purity of mind by meditation only, to get any fruits. In Tretaa yuga, people will not have the capability to do that kind of dhyaana, meditation. So, [[22]] of 194
Sri Vishnu Puraanam – Amsha 6 they can perform yajnyaas and can achieve the same fruits. In Dvaapara yuga, if one is not able to do meditation, or perform yajnyaas, they can just worship Bhagavaan, archanaa, bhagavat poojaa, and attain the same fruits. In Kali yuga, even if one is not able to do all these dhyaana, yajnya, archanaa, etc., mere chanting of Bhagavaan’s auspicious names, itself, with that one can achieve all the fruits that one can achieve through dhyaana in Kruta yuga, or through yajnyaas in Tretaa yuga, or through archanaa in Dvaapara yuga. In Kali yuga, it is very difficult to do all these, by mere naama sankeertana, one can achieve all those fruits. That is why I said Kali is saadhu.

Till now, how Kali is saadhu has been told. Because, by mere naama sankeertana, one can achieve anything that needs to be achieved through dhy *aana, yajnya, *archanaa in other yugaas. Now, Vyaasa explains why he said that " shoodrah saadhuh". Performing all the vrataas, if one has to do Veda adhyayana. In a proper way, they have to do yaaga and other things as per vidhi. And they have to earn money through the right way, virtuous means, and with that only, they have to perform yajnya.

Sri Vishnu Puraanam – Amsha 6 The Brahmins have very strict guidance from shaastraas and other things, they should not be talking about unnecessary things. They cannot eat whatever they can lay their hands on. There is a lot of niyama for what they should speak, what they should not speak, what they should eat and not eat. And also for performing yajnyaas, there is adhikaara, who can perform what yajnya, how he has to perform, there are many conditions, niyamaas, vrataas for Brahmins. If they do not follow all of this, they will fall down from dharma. And they will be subjected to Bhagavaan’s nigraha. They have to be always controlling the senses. They have to do all these as told in the shaastraas.

If they don’t do properly whatever is told in the shaastraas, they will be subjected to punishment. For whatever they do, they have to follow the shaastraas and do it properly.

Whereas for Shoodraas, all these niyamaas are not there. These rules are there for the traivarnikaas - Braahmanaas, Kshatriyaas and Vaishyaas. Whereas for Shoodraas, they have to serve the other three varnaas. They also have to do the yajnyaas without mantraas, without pranava. And they can also participate in other things like cooking. Just by this only, by serving the Brahmins, and other Vedaadhikaaris, by participating in cooking and others, and performing the mahaa yajnyaas without mantraas, they can earn the svarga and other lokaas. Which other Brahmins can earn by strict rules and with great difficulty. Shoodraas can earn this very easily. Shoodraas can do homa and other things without mantra. This also came earlier in Vishnu Puraana. That is why Shoodraas are told to be very fortunate.

There is no niyama about what they can eat and not eat for Shoodraas. They can eat and drink anything they like. That is why I said that they are saadhu. It is very easy to earn the punya lokaas, just by merely serving the other classes, and also by doing amantraka yajnya and other things.

Now, why women are saadhutara is going to be told. Men have to earn whatever they want, and it should not be against their dharma - they have to follow dharma and earn money in the righteous ways. They have to also give it to others, and have to perform yajnya as ordained in the shaastraas. They have to do daana for the right person, all these niyamaas are there for men.

Earning money is itself very difficult as they have to earn money in the righteous way. They cannot go against what is told in the shaastraas. And maintaining that money is much more difficult. And how to distribute it among the deserving, is very difficult. Knowing the inner secrets of all these, the sookshma amshaas, is very difficult. Who is the right person for daana, how to give daana, is all difficult, as told in the Bhagavad Geeta. It is difficult to know the intricacies of how to perform the daana, how to earn money, how to maintain it, etc. But they have to follow all of this.

Following all these niyamaas with great difficulty, they earn all the various lokaas, praajaapatya, where they can go and enjoy later on. But it is very difficult and tough. One has to be very controlled, and careful in following all of these rules. If, at any time, they transgress the rules of the Vedaas, what is ordained, then they will be subjected to punishment.

Whereas, the women, by merely serving her husband, through kaayaa, vaachaa, manasaa, body, speech and mind, and always doing good to the husband, she will earn all the lokaas, which her husband has earned with so much difficulty, following so ,any vrataas, niyamaas, as per the shaastraas.

With very little effort or difficulty, she will learn all those things. Whatever men learn with great difficulty. That is why I said " Yoshitah saadhu".
