I think you are taking it in the wrong direction. Many of hindu texts have sub layered meanings.So the parikshit permits him to stay only in places where there is prostituion gold (riches, display of riches) Alcohol (intoxicants which will affect your moral judgement) Gambling As you might have already figured out from the story, kali is non physical in nature and omnipresent. He can not only be present in many places at once but also many kalpas at once. So for easier understanding, think of him as the biggest influencer of immorality. Wherever these 4 things are there, there is a high chance that, the place and the people in it are immoral, unethical. Here are the same 4 things in islam and how it is restricted. Prostitution is prohibited in Islam. It is considered a form of zina, or adultery, which is a major...

The meaning of ahimsa today unfortunately has been equated to non violence due to the lack of equivalent word in english. Just like atma is not sould, ahimsa is not non violence. It is a state of being. Meta is discouraged and not forbidden in hinduism. Today unfortunately meat has been associated with health and fitness. Let us have a look at the animals in the jungle. Elephant - biggest animal, most powerful animal, heaviest animal Rhino, hippopotamus, wild buffalo - big, powerful, heavy deer - fastest animal giraffe, camel - tallest animal tortoise - lenghty life horse - speed, vigor donkey - most hardworking Many of these vegetarian animals (elephant, rhino, hippopotamus, wild ox, wild bull) can easily defeat any tiger, lion. In fact no lion or tiger ever dare to do a one on one with any of them. You will notice ...

Chanting and reading are different. Vedic Chanting has two parts - Tone and Recitation (Patha). It further has four different tones - Udatta, Anudaatta, Svarita and Deergha Svarita. Pathas are the styles of hymnal recitation. So unless your are are well skilled in these and your pronouncination, enunciation is accurate, you are not supposed to chant. Chanting the same mantras in different way produces different effects, different vibrations. Many a times a slight difference in spacing, intonation, pronounciation, enunciation produces different meanings. So unless you are classically trained to chant these, one shall avoid it but can read them with sound without making a sound, silently. Ex: Many in north india swap va & ba. Ravindranath tagore becomes rabindranath tagore. Many in north india also swap ra & da...

In another kalpa, there will be another prahlad but it may not be the same prahlad. Think of prahlad as a character of batman. Many have played batman, same story with few details changed everytime but the main storyline stays the same, an orphan kid, how his parents died, what he ends up becoming, what kind of villains he faces. So here prahlad is a character, a different soul may take that role. You might notice that you will find few contradictory incidents in puranas but the main story stays the same, however all those contradictions are true. Each contradictory version took place in a different kalpa. You might have also heard about bhavishya purana. Bhavishya purana is actually boothkal purana, it is talking about what happened in kali yuga of the last kalpa, it is not ta...

However exceptions do not make or break the rule. In modern age what is the punishment for someone practicing medicine without a medicine degree and a license? What is the punishment for someone practising law without passing the bar exam and getting a license? They will face prison. So someone who will study and chant vedas, his training began when he is a child. He will go through an initiation process and then his training starts which not only involves, memorization, pronounciatioin etc., but also a strict diet, strict daily routine of when he will up, how will he bathe, what should he eat, what will he wear, there are more restrictions and abstinence prescribed to this trainee than any modern day professions. A shudra aka laborer start their famil...
