WHAT WILL HAPPEN DURING THIS KALI YUGA?

Often we have heard of predictions or prophecies from Islam Christianity

etc.......... but many Hindus including me didn't know that Hindus too have

prophecies written down in their scripture and they are coming true as time

passes by, a point to note is that kali yuga is 432,000 years of which approx.

5000 years are over. So 427,000 years are still left over before Lord Vishnu is

on earth again and kali yuga ends and Sat yuga begins.Here I present relevant

verses from Bhagavata:"O learned one, in this iron age of Kali men have but

short lives. They are quarrelsome, lazy, misguided, unlucky and, above all,

always disturbed." - Srimad Bhagavatam 1.1.10 "The great sage Vyasadeva saw

anomalies in the duties of the millennium. This happens on the earth in

different ages, due to unseen forces in the course of time. The great sage, who

was fully equipped in knowledge, could see, through his transcendental vision,

the deterioration of everything material,

due to the influence of the age. He could also see that the faithless people in

general would be reduced in duration of life and would be impatient due to lack

of goodness. Thus he contemplated for the welfare of men in all statuses and

orders of life." [- Srimad Bhagavatam 1.4.16-18 ]"Sukadeva Gosvami said: Then,

O King, religion, truthfulness, cleanliness, tolerance, mercy, duration of

life, physical strength and memory will all diminish day by day because of the

powerful influence of the age of Kali. ""In Kali-yuga, wealth alone will be

considered the sign of a man's good birth, proper behavior and fine qualities.

And law and justice will be applied only on the basis of one's power.""Men and

women will live together merely because of superficial attraction, and success

in business will depend on deceit. Womanliness and manliness will be judged

according to one's expertise in sex, and a man will be known as a brahmana just

by his wearing a

thread.""A person's spiritual position will be ascertained merely according to

external symbols, and on that same basis people will change from one spiritual

order to the next. A person's propriety will be seriously questioned if he does

not earn a good living. And one who is very clever at juggling words will be

considered a learned scholar.""A person will be judged unholy if he does not

have money, and hypocrisy will be accepted as virtue. Marriage will be arranged

simply by verbal agreement, and a person will think he is fit to appear in

public if he has merely taken a bath.""A sacred place will be taken to consist

of no more than a reservoir of water located at a distance, and beauty will be

thought to depend on one's hairstyle. Filling the belly will become the goal of

life, and one who is audacious will be accepted as truthful. He who can maintain

a family will be regarded as an expert man, and the principles of religion will

be observed only

for the sake of reputation.""As the earth thus becomes crowded with a corrupt

population, whoever among any of the social classes shows himself to be the

strongest will gain political power.""Losing their wives and properties to such

avaricious and merciless rulers, who will behave no better than ordinary

thieves, the citizens will flee to the mountains and forests.""Harassed by

famine and excessive taxes, people will resort to eating leaves, roots, flesh,

wild honey, fruits, flowers and seeds. Struck by drought, they will become

completely ruined.""The citizens will suffer greatly from cold, wind, heat,

rain and snow. They will be further tormented by quarrels, hunger, thirst,

disease and severe anxiety.""The maximum duration of life for human beings in

Kali-yuga will become fifty years.""By the time the age of Kali ends, the

bodies of all creatures will be greatly reduced in size, and the religious

principles of followers of

varnasrama will be ruined. The path of the Vedas will be completely forgotten in

human society, and so-called religion will be mostly atheistic. The kings will

mostly be thieves, the occupations of men will be stealing, lying and needless

violence, and all the social classes will be reduced to the lowest level of

sudras. Cows will be like goats, spiritual hermitages will be no different from

mundane houses, and family ties will extend no further than the immediate bonds

of marriage. Most plants and herbs will be tiny, and all trees will appear like

dwarf sami trees. Clouds will be full of lightning, homes will be devoid of

piety, and all human beings will have become like asses. At that time, the

Supreme Personality of Godhead will appear on the earth. Acting with the power

of pure spiritual goodness, He will rescue eternal religion.""Lord Visnu—the

Supreme Personality of Godhead, the spiritual master of all moving and

nonmoving living beings, and the Supreme Soul of

all—takes birth to protect the principles of religion and to relieve His saintly

devotees from the reactions of material work.""Lord Kalki will appear in the

home of the most eminent brahmana of Sambhala village, the great soul

Visnuyasa.""Lord Kalki, the Lord of the universe, will mount His swift horse

Devadatta and, sword in hand, travel over the earth exhibiting His eight mystic

opulences and eight special qualities of Godhead. Displaying His unequaled

effulgence and riding with great speed, He will kill by the millions those

thieves who have dared dress as kings.""After all the impostor kings have been

killed, the residents of the cities and towns will feel the breezes carrying

the most sacred fragrance of the sandalwood paste and other decorations of Lord

Vasudeva, and their minds will thereby become transcendentally pure.""When Lord

Vasudeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, appears in their hearts in His

transcendental form of goodness, the

remaining citizens will abundantly repopulate the earth.""When the Supreme Lord

has appeared on earth as Kalki, the maintainer of religion, Satya-yuga will

begin, and human society will bring forth progeny in the mode of

goodness.""When the moon, the sun and Brhaspati are together in the

constellation Karkata, and all three enter simultaneously into the lunar

mansion Pusya—at that exact moment the age of Satya, or Krta, will begin."[-

Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.1-25 ]"Devapi, the brother of Maharaja Santanu, and

Maru, the descendant of Iksvaku, both possess great mystic strength and are

living even now in the village of Kalapa.""At the end of the age of Kali, these

two kings, having received instruction directly from the Supreme Personality of

Godhead, Vasudeva, will return to human society and reestablish the eternal

religion of man, characterized by the divisions of varna and asrama, just as it

was before."[- Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.37-38

] "The cycle of four ages—Satya, Treta, Dvapara and Kali—continues perpetually

among living beings on this earth, repeating the same general sequence of

events.""In the age of Kali only one fourth of the religious principles

remains. That last remnant will continuously be decreased by the

ever-increasing principles of irreligion and will finally be destroyed.In

the age of Kali people tend to be greedy, ill-behaved and merciless, and they

fight one another without good reason. Unfortunate and obsessed with material

desires, the people of Kali-yuga are almost all sudras and barbarians. When

there is a predominance of cheating, lying, sloth, sleepiness, violence,

depression, lamentation, bewilderment, fear and poverty, that age is Kali, the

age of the mode of ignorance. Because of the bad qualities of the age of Kali,

human beings will become shortsighted, unfortunate, gluttonous, lustful and

poverty-stricken. The women, becoming unchaste, will freely wander

from one man to the next. Cities will be dominated by thieves, the Vedas will be

contaminated by speculative interpretations of atheists, political leaders will

virtually consume the citizens, and the so-called priests and intellectuals

will be devotees of their bellies and genitals. The brahmacaris will fail to

execute their vows and become generally unclean, the householders will become

beggars, the vanaprasthas will live in the villages, and the sannyasis will

become greedy for wealth.Women become much smaller in size, and they will

eat too much, have more children than they can properly take care of, and lose

all shyness. They will speak harshly and will exhibit qualities of thievery,

deceit and unrestrained audacity.Businessmen will engage in petty commerce

and earn their money by cheating. Even when there is no emergency, people will

consider any degraded occupation quite acceptable. Servants will abandon a

master who has lost his wealth, even if that

master is a saintly person of exemplary character. Masters will abandon an

incapacitated servant, even if that servant has been in the family for

generations. Cows will be abandoned or killed when they stop giving milk.In

Kali-yuga men will be wretched and controlled by women. They will reject their

fathers, brothers, other relatives and friends and will instead associate with

the sisters and brothers of their wives. Thus their conception of friendship

will be based exclusively on sexual ties. Uncultured men will accept charity on

behalf of the Lord and will earn their livelihood by making a show of austerity

and wearing a mendicant's dress. Those who know nothing about religion will

mount a high seat and presume to speak on religious principles.In the age of

Kali, people's minds will always be agitated. They will become emaciated by

famine and taxation, my dear King, and will always be disturbed by fear of

drought. They will lack adequate clothing, food and

drink, will be unable to properly rest, have sex or bathe themselves, and will

have no ornaments to decorate their bodies. In fact, the people of Kali-yuga

will gradually come to appear like ghostly, haunted creatures.In Kali-yuga

men will develop hatred for each other even over a few coins. Giving up

friendly relations, they will be ready to lose their own lives and kill even

their own relatives. Men will no longer protect their elderly parents, their

children or their respectable wives. Thoroughly degraded, they will care only

to satisfy their own bellies and genitals.O King, in the age of Kali

people's intelligence will be diverted by atheism, and they will almost never

offer sacrifice to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the supreme

spiritual master of the universe. Although the great personalities who control

the three worlds all bow down to the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord, the petty

and miserable human beings of this age will not do so."

"Terrified, about to die, a man collapses on his bed. Although his voice is

faltering and he is hardly conscious of what he is saying, if he utters the

holy name of the Supreme Lord he can be freed from the reaction of his fruitive

work and achieve the supreme destination. But still people in the age of Kali

will not worship the Supreme Lord." [- Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.24-44
