15 Most Amazing Predictions for Kali Yuga from the Bhagavata Purana
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.

Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.1

sri-suka uvaca
tatas canu-dinam dharmah
satyam saucam ksama daya
kalena balina rajan
nanksyaty ayur balam smrtih

 

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.

Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.2

vittam eva kalau nrÌ„Ì£nÌ£Ä mÌ
janmÄ cÄ ra-gunÌ£odayahÌ£
dharma-nyÄ ya-vyavasthÄ yÄ mÌ
kÄ ranÌ£amÌ balam eva hi

 

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.

Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.3

dÄ mpatye 'bhirucir hetur
mÄ yaiva vyÄ vahÄ rike
strÄ«tve pumÌ stve ca hi ratir
vipratve sūtram eva hi

 

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.

Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.4

liÅ„gamÌ evÄ Å›rama-khyÄ tÄ v
anyonyÄ patti-kÄ ranÌ£am
avrÌ£ttyÄ nyÄ ya-daurbalyamÌ
pÄ nÌ£dÌ£itye cÄ palamÌ vacahÌ£

 

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.

Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.5

anÄ dÌ£hyataivÄ sÄ dhutve
sÄ dhutve dambha eva tu
svÄ«kÄ ra eva codvÄ he
snÄ nam eva prasÄ dhanam

 

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.

Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.6

dÅ«re vÄ ry-ayanamÌ tÄ«rthamÌ
lÄ vanÌ£yamÌ keÅ›a-dhÄ ranÌ£am
udaramÌ -bharatÄ svÄ rthahÌ£
satyatve dhÄ rsÌ£tÌ£yam eva hi
dÄ ksÌ£yamÌ kutÌ£umba-bharanÌ£amÌ
yaśo 'rthe dharma-sevanam

 

Prediction 7:



As the earth thus becomes crowded with a corrupt population, whoever among any of ther social classes shows himself to be the strongest will gain political power.

Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.7

evamÌ prajÄ bhir dusÌ£tÌ£Ä bhir
Ä kÄ«rnÌ£e ksÌ£iti-manÌ£dÌ£ale
brahma-vitÌ£-ksÌ£atra-śūdrÄ nÌ£Ä mÌ
yo balÄ« bhavitÄ nrÌ£pahÌ£

 

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.

Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.9

Å›Ä ka-mÅ«lÄ misÌ£a-ksÌ£audra-
phala-pusÌ£pÄ sÌ£tÌ£i-bhojanÄ hÌ£
anÄ vrÌ£sÌ£tÌ£yÄ vinaÅ„ksÌ£yanti
durbhiksÌ£a-kara-pÄ«dÌ£itÄ hÌ£

 

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.

Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.10

śīta-vÄ tÄ tapa-prÄ vrÌ£dÌ£-
himair anyonyatahÌ£ prajÄ hÌ£
ksÌ£ut-trÌ£dÌ£bhyÄ mÌ vyÄ dhibhiÅ› caiva
santapsyante ca cintayÄ

 

Prediction 10:



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

Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.11

trimÌ Å›ad vimÌ Å›ati varsÌ£Ä nÌ£i

Prediction 11:



Men will no longer protect their elderly parents.

Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.42

na rakshishyanti manujah
sthavirau pitarav api

 

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.

Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.41

kalau kakinike 'py arthe
vigrihya tyakta-sauhridah
tyakshyanti ca priyan pranan
hanishyanti svakan api

 

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.

Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.38

sudrah pratigrahishyanti
tapo-veshopajivinah
dharmam vakshyanty adharma-jna
adhiruhyottamasanam

 

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.

Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.36

patim tyakshyanti nirdravyam
bhritya apy akhilottamam
bhrityam vipannam patayah
kaulam gas capayasvinih

 

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.

Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.32

dasyutkrishta janapada
vedah pashanda-dushitah
rajanas ca praja-bhakshah
sisnodara-para dvijah

Despite all of these dark prophecies, there is one good quality in this age of Kali yuga:

kaler dosha-nidhe rajann
asti hy eko maha gunah
kirtanad eva krishnasya
mukta-sangah param vrajet

"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." (Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.51)

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.
