The following 15 predictions about the
present Kali Yuga, written 5,000 years ago by sage Vedavyasa, are amazing
because they appear so accurate. Prophecies of Kali Yuga.
In the last canto of the Bhagavata Purana
there is a list of predictions and prophecies about the dark times for the
present age of Kali Yuga. The following 15 predictions, written 5,000 years ago
by sage Vedavyasa, are amazing because they appear so accurate. Despite the
negative tone of these prophecies, there is still one bright spot for all of
us, which is mentioned at the end.
Prediction
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:
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:
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:
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 dos not earn a good living. And one who is very
clever at juggling words will be considered a learned scholar.
Prediction
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:
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:
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:
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:
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.
Prediction
10:
The maximum duration of life for human
beings in Kali Yuga will become 50 years.
Men will no longer protect their elderly parents.
Prediction
12:
In Kali-yuga 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:
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:
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:
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.
Despite all of these dark prophecies,
there is one good quality in this age of Kali yuga: Although Kali-yuga is an ocean of faults,
there is still one good quality about this age: simply by chanting the names of
Krishna , one can become free from material
bondage and be promoted to the transcendental kingdom."
So let us take advantage of this special
spiritual gift given during the dark times of Kali yuga to quickly raise
ourselves spiritually through chanting of God's holy names.
