SB 1.18.6

yasminn ahani yarhy eva bhagavān utsasarja gām tadaivehānuvṛtto 'sāv adharma-prabhavaḥ kaliḥ

Synonyms

yasminon that; ahanivery day; yarhi evain the very moment; bhagavānthe Personality of Godhead; utsasarjaleft aside; gāmthe earth; tadāat that time; evacertainly; ihain this world; anuvṛttaḥfollowed; asauhe; adharmairreligious; prabhavaḥaccelerating; kaliḥthe personality of quarrel.

Translation

The very day and the very moment when the Personalty of Godhead Lord Sri Krishna left aside this earth, on that very moment also the personality of Kali who is accelerating agent for all irreigious activities, became entered within the earth.

Purport

The personality of Godhead and His holy Name, Qualities etc all are identical. The personality of Kali was not able to enter in the jurisdiction of the earth on account of presence of the Personality of Godhead. And similarly if there is arrangement for constant chanting of the holy Name and quality etc of the Supreme Personality of Godhead there is no chance at all for entrance of the personality of Kali within the jurisdiction where such chanting of the holy Name of the Lord is performed. That is the technique of driving away the personality of Kali from the world. In the modernised human society there is far advancement of material science and they have invented the radio set for dsstributing sound in the air. So instead of vibrating some nuisance sound of sense enjoyment, if the state arranges to distribute sound transcendental in the shape of resounding the holy name, fame, activities of the Lord as they are authorisedly stated in the Bhagwat Geeta or Shrimad Bhagwatam then, certainly a favourable condition will be created and re-establishing the principles of religiosities in the world and thus the executive heads who are so much anxious to drive away corruption from the world, will be successful by this good attempt. Nothing is bad if they are properly used for the service of lord.
