    Amazing predictions for Kaliyuga (Bhagavatha Purana)

    Symptoms of Kaliyuga - Prophecies about dark times...


    (from Sri Bhagavatha Purana as narrated by Sage Sukha)

    TIME (Kaala) is subdivided into units of smaller duration called Yuga. As


    per Kalpa pramana, Yuga is classified into four types viz. Krutha Yuga;
    Tretha Yuga; Dwapara Yuga and Kali Yuga of descending duration in the
    ratio of 4:3:2:1 with each Yuga having the duration shorter than its
    previous one. Duration of these four Yugas in terms of human years is
    determined as follows

    Krutha Yuga (1728000 years); Tretha Yuga (1296000 years);


    Dwapara Yuga (864000 years) and Kali Yuga (432000 years);

    Yugas (Krutha; Tretha; Dwapara and Kali) are associated with Dharma or
    moral virtues (morality). Composition of Dharma in Krutha Yuga (Sathya
    Yuga) called as Golden age will be fully virtuous; in Tretha Yuga called as
    Silver age it will be 3/4th virtuous; in Dwapara Yuga called as Bronze age
    it will be half () virtuous; and in Kali Yuga known as Iron age or Black
    age it will be 1/4th virtuous and 3/4th of sin. Thus there will be a gradual
    deterioration from Yuga to Yuga in terms of Dharma (Virtue) as well as
    the longevity of human beings. The Yugas (ages) become progressively
    worse in terms of morality that will have an impact on human actions.

    In the last Canto (12th) of the epic Sri Bhagavatha Purana scripted by
    Lord & Sage Sri Vedavyasa more than 5000 years ago, there is a list of
    predictions and prophecies about the dark times for the present age of
    Kaliyuga. They are amazing, so accurate and very much appropriate to
    the present day happenings across the world. They are as follows
    Prediction #1
    tatas canu-dinam dharmah satyam saucam ksama daya
    kalena balina rajan nanksyaty ayur balam smrtih
    (Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.1)
    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.

    Prediction #2
    vittam eva kalau nram janmacara-guodaya
    dharma-nyaya-vyavasthayam karaam balam eva hi
    (Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.2)

    In Kali Yuga, wealth alone will be considered the sign of a man's good
    birth, proper behaviour and fine qualities. And law and justice will be
    applied only on the basis of one's power.

    Prediction #3

    dampatye bhirucir hetur mayaiva vyavaharike


    stritve pumstve ca hi ratir vipratve sutram eva hi
    (Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.3)

    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.

    Prediction #4

    lingam evasrama-khyatav anyonyapatti-karaam


    avrttya nyaya-daurbalyam panditye capalam vacah
    (Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.4)

    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.

    Prediction #5

    anadhyataivasadhutve sadhutve dambha eva tu


    svikara eva codvahe snanam eva prasadhanam
    (Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.5)

    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.

    Prediction #6

    dure vary-ayanam tirtham lavanyam kesa-dharanam


    udaram-bharata svarthah satyatve dharstyam eva hi
    daksyam kutumba-bharanam yaso 'rthe dharma-sevanam
    (Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.6)

    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.

    Prediction #7

    evam prajabhir dustabhir akirne ksiti-mandale


    brahma-vit-ksatra-sudranam yo bali bhavita nrpah
    (Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.7)

    As the earth thus becomes crowded with a corrupt population, whoever


    among any of their social classes shows himself to be the strongest will
    gain political power

    Prediction #8
    saka-mulamisa-ksaudra-phala-puspasti-bhojanah
    anavrstya vinanksyanti durbhiksa-kara-piditah
    Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.9

    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.

    Prediction #9

    sita-vatatapa-pravrd-himair anyonyatah prajah


    ksut-trdbhyam vyadhibhis caiva santapsyante ca cintaya
    Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.10

    Citizens will suffer greatly from cold, wind, heat, rain and snow. They will
    be further tormented by quarrels, hunger, thirst, disease and severe
    anxiety

    Prediction #10

    trimsad vimsati varsani paramayuh kalau nrnam


    (Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.11)

    The maximum duration of life for human beings in Kali Yuga will become
    50 years.

    Prediction #11

    na rakshishyanti manujah sthavirau pitarav api


    (Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.42)

    Men will no longer protect their elderly parents

    Prediction #12
    kalau kakinike py arthe vigrihya tyakta-sauhridah
    tyakshyanti ca priyan pranan hanishyanti svakan api
    (Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.41)

    In Kaliyuga men will develop hatred for each other even over a few coins.
    Giving up all friendly relations, they will be ready to lose their own lives
    and kill even their own relatives.

    Prediction #13

    sudrah pratigrahishyanti tapo-veshopajivinah


    dharmam vakshyanty adharma-jna adhiruhyottamasanam
    (Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.38)

    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.

    Prediction #14

    patim tyakshyanti nirdravyam bhritya apy akhilottamam


    bhrityam vipannam patayah kaulam gas capayasvinih
    (Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.36)

    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.

    Prediction #15

    dasyutkrishta janapada vedah pashanda-dushitah


    rajanas ca praja-bhakshah sisnodara-para dvijah
    (Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.32)

    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.

    Remedy....
    Despite all of these dark prophecies, there is one good quality in this age
    of Kaliyuga, that is

    kaler dosha-nidhe rajann asti hy eko maha gunah


    kirtanad eva krishnasya mukta-sangah param vrajet
    (Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.51)
    Although Kaliyuga is an ocean of faults, there is still one good quality
    about this age: simply by chanting the names of Lord Sri Krishna, one
    can become free from material bondage and be promoted to the
    transcendental kingdom.
    Different means of liberation have been spelled out applicable to each
    Yuga viz. meditation (penance) in Kritha Yuga; yajna in Tretha Yuga,
    archana (worship) in Dwapara Yuga; whereas in Kali Yuga only Naama
    Smarana (repetition/chanting of Gods name) has been prescribed as the
    main means of liberation for the mankind.
    Since in Kali Yuga people will not have the required spiritual strength and
    capability to perform and carry out rigorous saadhana; Naama Smarana
    has been prescribed to achieve the required effect of liberation. The
    divine name RAMA/KRISHNA will make one free from Raaga (attachment)
    and also Roga (disease).
