[Alexandr Korol]

I’m joking a little, but still, it’s nearly stated directly. That there are four yugas, four cycles, and that one of these yugas is the Kali Yuga. And this Kali Yuga is when people are at their absolute lowest in terms of spirituality and morality, when criminals, thieves, and corruption are everywhere. And that a time will come when even religious people, even priests and monks, will engage in very dishonorable acts. In fact, if you search the internet now and read about it, you’ll see that this is confirmed. But pay attention — I am not writing this because I am against religion. On the contrary, I want to defend them. But the fact that there is such chaos, and that people take advantage of it just to make money, is, of course, bad. And who could say that’s good? Any reasonable person would say it’s bad. And I remember Big Alexander also telling me, “Alex, if you go to Tibet or India, even to the highest-ranking monks, no one will recognize you. And even if someone does understand who you are, they won’t want to acknowledge you, because you’re a competitor, and for them, the main thing is money and profit. Why would they need a competitor? They will say you are bad and fake. There is no one left in the world to trust, at all.” That’s what Big Alexander told me when I mentioned that maybe I should go live in a simple monastery. He said, “Why? Do you think there are spiritual people there? The people there will be dirtier and nastier than where you live now.” Can you imagine? Well, that’s fine.
And it turns out that when I start studying Hinduism, I learn that there are four yugas, one of them being Kali Yuga. And when this Kali Yuga expands greatly, when everyone becomes engulfed under the influence of this dark force, this illusion of Maya and this Kali — this goddess who tempts and seduces everyone, like a dark spirit that everyone connects to — at that moment, Kalki will come. Kalki is like the Second Coming; it is always compared to the Second Coming in Christianity. And he will arrive and begin to restore order. And it is said there that there is something like the Mother of God — this system, this dharma that has been lost and needs to be restarted. And he will restart this dharma — that is the matrix of the system of the Mother of God. And then a new time will come, a new cycle, a new yuga among these four — that is Satya Yuga, if I’m not mistaken. I apologize, these are truly difficult words for me, but if I’m not mistaken, after Kali Yuga comes Satya Yuga. And this Satya Yuga is the Golden Age. And that this time — this very moment — is happening right now. But naturally,
