Kroni - Fragments of Kroni

Fragments of Kroni

The six fragments of Kroni were then born as evil spirits (or Asuras) in six successive Yukams (aeons). In all the yukams Mayon had to incarnate in the world to destroy the evils. The six fragments were known as

  1. Kuntomasali
  2. Thillaimallalan and Mallosivakanan
  3. Suraparppan Sinkamukasuran and Iraniyan
  4. Ravanan
  5. Thuriyothanan and the Ninety-nine Brothers
  6. Kaliyan

Kroni, the spirit of Kali Yuga, is said to be omnipresent in the present age, and this is one of the reasons why followers of Ayya Vazhi, like other Hindus, believe that the current yuga, Kali Yuga, is so degraded.

Famous quotes containing the words fragments of and/or fragments:

    “The hypothesis I wish to advance is that ... the language of morality is in ... grave disorder.... What we possess, if this is true, are the fragments of a conceptual scheme, parts of which now lack those contexts from which their significance derived. We possess indeed simulacra of morality, we continue to use many of the key expressions. But we have—very largely if not entirely—lost our comprehension, both theoretical and practical, of morality.”
    —Alasdair Chalmers MacIntyre (b. 1929)

    “There came a burst of thunder sound;
    The boy—Oh! where was he?
    MAsk of the winds, that far around
    With fragments strewed the sea;—”
    —Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)
