Re: In which forms of Money is Kali present??

Dear Venkat,

    Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! Please accept my obeisances!

    The system that you have described is called 'chain marketing'. And it is an extremely risky business, atleast in India. As far as I have heard, Many people fall victim to the lure of making a quick buck and so they ultimately end up buying what they do not need. They often get goods of far lower worth than what they paid for and this leads to losses. Often the businessmen give false claims to encourage the customers to spend more. The people soon become part of the business chain. This ultimately leads to many people losing heavily and becoming financially ruined.  I do not know much about these businesses, but I know many people who have been ruined by these things. I don't know how, but this is a fact.

     My inner feeling is that Kali may reside in many of these modern day businesses like these or the stock market, or chain marketing and others because now-a-days everything is fast becoming corrupt. But the situation now has made these things inevitable as no business can go on without these modern day inventions. Many small time people are ruined if the stock market crashes, or else they get huge profit without working for it at all, I do not know if such money will stick to them. Prabhupada himself called it gambling.

      Anyhow, some experienced and knowledgeable devotee should be the best person to properly answer this question.

Daaso'smi,
Srinath
