age of hypocrisy and quarrel. Brahma said, “People in
the age of Kali will be bewildered by material desires.
There will be rampant pollution and sin everywhere.
What hope will they have? We must pray for a
special incarnation (avatar) of Lord Krishna to preside
somewhere on this earth planet to facilitate the
living entities in their development of pure love and
devotion for the Lord.”

In the Bhagavad-gita, Lord Krishna says, “Whenever
and wherever there is a decline in religious practice,
O descendant of Bharata (Arjuna), and a predominant
rise of irreligion — at that time I descend Myself. To
deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as
well as to establish again the principles of religion,
I Myself appear, millennium after millennium.” (Bg
4.7-8) In the age of Kali, many atheists will create
disturbances to the devotees who follow the
principles of religion. The Lord incarnates to protect
his devotees and diminish the influence of those who
oppose the principles of religious practice.
Lord Brahma, continued, “Narada Muni, I am giving
you an assignment. Somehow or other, by your
creative genius, devise a means of bringing Lord
Vishnu to this earth.”
