Chapter 4
Gyaankarmasanyaasyoga

‘Yadaa yadaa hi dharmasya glaanirbhavati bhaarata.” (chp.4, shloka 7) It means, when there is defamation of the religion, rise in irreligiousness and vidharm, I come. Defamation of the religion means calling God omnipresent. According to the Jain and Vedic process of creation, the religion is defamed only at the end of the sinful Iron Age. It is because by the end of the Iron Age, many religions are established and all the religions become tamopradhaan in the fourth stage of the fourth age, because everything in the house or tree like world definitely passes through the four stages, viz. satvapradhaan, satvasaamaanya, rajo and taamasi.
