00:00In front of his eyes, his wife and kids are washed up and he cries in despair saying, Bhagawan, why
00:05did you do this to me? I did not deserve any of this.
00:08People who are spiritual aspirants, how these times, the coming times are going to be for them.
00:14So astrologically speaking, it is going to be very special.
00:18There is a story of Narada, very interesting story in fact, where Narada says that, you know, Bhagawan Vishnu, I
00:24am your greatest devotee.
00:27I never forget you. And then Lord Krishna says, oh, is it okay? Let's go on this little walk.
00:31And they keep walking and walking and suddenly somewhere in the middle of an open field, right?
00:36This is all created by the Maya of Krishna. He asks Narada to go find water because he says he's
00:41thirsty.
00:42So he says, Narada, please go and find water and get me a glass of water, a pitcher of water.
00:47So Narada goes off in search of water. He finds a little village very far away, keeps walking.
00:53Then he enters the village. He walks on the streets. He asks each home.
00:56Finally, he finds a home where they're willing to give him water and stuff.
00:59And that person gives him water, the farmer there.
01:02He sees the farmer's daughter and he is enchanted by that daughter.
01:07And they agree to marry. They have a family.
01:10He forgets about giving the water to Krishna.
01:12Krishna is, you know, he forgets about the whole reason he was sent there.
01:15He was sent to get water, but when he gets married, he has a family, children, children, he has a
01:20farm.
01:21And he, you know, he has land, he has everything.
01:25His agriculture is going on very well. He becomes very rich and so on and so forth.
01:29And then one day a huge storm comes and it tears through his village and the trees and everything collapse.
01:36And then the water reaches his home. In front of his eyes, his wife and kids are washed up.
01:41And he cries in despair saying, Bhagavan, why did you do this to me?
01:45I did not deserve any of this. And he cries.
01:47And then Lord Sri Krishna says, I believe there's something like, where is the water?
01:50I sent you to get water. And then all of this is basically an illusion.
01:55So during these times of tribulations, we can just, you know, we shouldn't be insensitive, of course.
01:59But at a deeper level, we should realize that this is Maya and that helps us go inward.
02:05It is obviously sad in that situation of Narada that he lost his wife and children.
02:11At that Maya level, the pain, everything was very real.
02:14But at a deeper level, it was not actually real.
02:17And I also am not enlightened to understand that.
02:21But, you know, what I can say is that people who are enlightened enough will find this era very helpful
02:26for their spiritual program.
