SUMMARY: Being the Originator of Yugas, Sri Hari lives in all the Four
Yugas (Kruta, Dwapara, Treta and Kali). He is the cause and consequences of all
Dharma and Karma or the Culture, Spirituality and actions in these Yugas. He
wears the forms, including that of Sri Vasudeva, and gets the names such as
Yugadikrut, Yugapravartaka and so on and provides his devotees with wealth and
prosperity.
The four forms of Sri Hari during the four Yugas are as follows: During
Kruta, Sri Hari manifests in the form of Vasudeva; during Tretayuga, he is
known as Sankarshana; during Dwapara, Sri Hari will be in the form of Pradyumna
and during Kali Yuga, he manifests as Aniruddha. During all the four Yugas, he
takes the respective form and is in charge of or the organizer and originator
of penance, purity, kindness and truthfulness. These are the primary tenets of
culture and Sri Hari ensures that the righteous do not face any hurdle in
adopting and following these principles.
It is mentioned in Bhagavata and other holy texts that during Kruta, all
the four principles of culture are intact and undisturbed. Subsequently, during
Treta Yuga, any of the three principles are undisturbed and any one of these
principles face extinction or at least recession. During Dwapara, two of the
four principles remain unharmed and two suffer severe strain. During Kali Yuga,
all the four principles are subject to extinction or eradication. Consequently,
the righteous find it difficult to pay the oblations. The righteous either go
with the time by adopting the Yuga Dharma of cheating, cruelty, bluffing and
ignoring the established spiritual activities. People lose faith in Providence
during Kali Yuga.
Yugadikrut and other names are among the names mentioned in Sri
Vishnusahasranama.
“YugAdikrudyugAvartO naikamAyO mahAshanaha” { कीर्त्य युगादिकृद्युगावर्तॊ
नैकमायॊ महाशनः}
DharmapraGhaTaka means giver of the positive fruits of
adherence to Dharma or Culture.
“TAnAgi” means “on his own will and interest”. Sri Hari
is self-driven. He does not need any external force to do what he wants to do.
He never shuns or shrinks from his responsibilities. It is for the devotees and
non-devotees to perform the ‘karma’ and leave everything to Sri Hari.
Sri Hari is in Narayana and other forms in the head,
throat and other organs/

SUMMARY: One should think or invoke Lord Sri Narayana in the head,
Vasudeva in the lower part of the throat, Pradyumna in the right side,
Aniruddha in the left side of the body; in the lower portion of the body Sri
SankaruShaNa exists and thus think that Sri Narayana is present in five forms
in five different parts of the body and sing or think in praise of Lord
Narayana.
