Kulapavana Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 We still have over 400,000 years of Kali-yuga to go. Do not be troubled by some predictions: we can die at any moment ;-) Make the best use of every day, and death is not the worst thing that can happen to you! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Govindaram Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 by tovishal2001 I heard at many places(internet and some pravachan) that 2010 is last year of Kaliyug. And 2004-2010 is ghor-Kaliyug Ghor-kaliyug does that mean 'really bad'? Its gonna get bad /images/graemlins/frown.gif or it could get better /images/graemlins/laugh.gif spread the name of Hari to every town and village, problem solved! I have to say we are all very lucky to be living in these times, when chanting Harinama is easy, Gods know how the world will be like in the future.

livingentity Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Kali-yuga has only just begun!! http://www.indiadivine.org/predictions-kali-yuga1.htm Any of this sound familiar: "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 theives, the Vedas will be contaminated by speculative interpretations of atheists, political leaders will virtually consume the citizens, and the so-called priests and intellectualls 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 s aintly 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 re st, 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 the ir 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingentity Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 "The duration of the material universe is limited. It is manifested in cycles of kalpas. A kalpa is a day of Brahma, and one day of Brahma consists of a thousand cycles of four yugas or ages: Satya, Treta, Dvapara and Kali. The cycle of Satya is characterized by virtue, wisdom and religion, there being practically no ignorance and vice, and the yuga lasts 1,728,000 years. In the Treta-yuga vice is introduced, and this yuga lasts 1,296,000 years. In the Dvapara-yuga there is an even greater decline in virtue and religion, vice increasing, and this yuga lasts 864,000 years. And finally in Kali-yuga (the yuga that we have now been experiencing over the past 5,000 years) there is an abundance of strife, ignorance, irreligion and vice, true virtue being practically nonexistent, and this yuga lasts 432,000 years. In Kali-yuga vice increases to such a point that at the termination of the yuga the Supreme Lord Himself appears as the Kalki avatara, vanquishes the demons, saves His devotees, and commences another Satya-yuga. Then the process is set rolling again. These four yugas, rotating a thousand times, comprise one day of Brahma, the creator god, and the same number comprise one night. Brahma lives one hundred of such "years" and then dies. These "hundred years" by earth calculations total to 311 trillion and 40 billion earth years. By these calculations the life of Brahma seems fantastic and interminable, but from the viewpoint of eternity it is as brief as a lightning flash. In the Causal Ocean there are innumerable Brahmas rising and disappearing like bubbles in the Atlantic. Brahma and his creation are all part of the material universe, and therefore they are in constant flux. In the material universe not even Brahma is free from the process of birth, old age, disease and death. Brahma, however, is directly engaged in the service of the Supreme Lord in the management of the universe--therefore he at once attains liberation. Elevated sannyasis are promoted to Brahma's particular planet, Brahmaloka, which is the highest planet in the material universe and which survives all the heavenly planets in the upper strata of the planetary system, but in due course Brahma and all the inhabitants of Brahmaloka are subject to death, according to the law of material nature."

stonehearted Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 What is "false," Alex? Truth is, we're only 5100 years into a 432,000 yuga. Fasten your seat belts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidharth Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Nope kalki avtar will not arrive soon(at least not in 2012), but at the same it is entirely wrong that it will take thousand of years to complete ,the biggest problem with Hindus is that they take everything literally . According to scriptures kalyug is the shortest of all yug . Yuga Time Period Kritha Yuga 17,28,000 years Tretha Yuga 12,96,000 years Dwapara Yuga 8,64,000 years Kali Yuga 4,32,000 years that means difference between dwapar(krishna) and tretha(ram) should exceed 432000 but due to dating process and other astronomical figures some say ram was born in 7000 bc to some in 10000 bc while some say krishna 's birth took place somewhere in 3000 BC TO 1500 bc it maximum is to be take the gap should be not more than 7000 years , therefore kaliyug should have period of 3500 years now we don't know when did kaliyug start if 1500 bc(which most historians believe) then 1500+2000=3500 years that mean it should take place somwehre in this century or definitely in next century . The duration of years in hindu scriptures is surely different from the current span of years I am saying kalki will not born in 2012 bcoz many things are left which are progressing fast and could take place only after atleast after 2 or 3 generations.The prophecies in Mahabharat and bhagvad which have not been attained so far are written below. 1) puberty of girls will reach to 5 and 6 (mentioned as prophecy) ,puberty of gals declining fast , declined from 14 to 10 present , it would take few generations or decades to reach up to 5 , the same is for boys it should reach to 7 or 8 it is 12 currently , I suppose in India. 2) maximum life of human beings will be 16 years (medical facilities have elongated human life ) so I don't know when this will happen 3) There will be very less of people and seven suns will shine , this reflects III world war , after that only population could reduce and may be due to the aftermaths life span will reach to 16 years. 4) Land will become barren even the plains beside rivers will not yield and ppl will eat roots and drink goat's milk , this too indicates some sort of nuclear war 5)Kalki will fight with buddh people and the villain has name Jin , China is the only country where Buddhists are found though no religion is allowed due to communism , yet China has large amount of Buddhist people , and Jin sounds like chinese name,. It seems new world order will be formed wiping out America n other western powers . After recession many experts believe there will be second recession in western countries within a decade and China will emerge as the new superpower. All the above points relfect that there would be a war prior to kalki's birth and evil powers will win , and bhagwan will wipe out the evil powers then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ammy Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 "To be great is to be misunderstood"...However, the cataract of credulity which covers our eyes makes us indifferent to heresay and facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
