Just before going to “What are Kali Yuga prophecies (predictions) (Srimad Bhagavatam) (Bhagavata Purana) | What is the prediction of Kali Yuga? | What Bhagavad Gita says about Kali Yuga? | Which God will born in Kali Yuga? | What Shri Krishna told about Kali Yuga? | Sins of Kaliyuga | Predictions of Kaliyuga | What will happen in Kalyug end | Lord Krishna predictions about Kaliyuga“, let us know a brief, basic and very important information.

Introduction : We should note that Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the brief about all the Vedas, Srimad Bhagavatam, Ramayana, Mahabharata, etc. Thus what is said in Bhagavad Gita is said in Srimad Bhagavatam (Bhagavata Purana) also.

The last chapter of the Srimad Bhagavatam or Bhagavata Purana lists out the ‘bhavishya vani’ (predictions and prophecies) about the dark times for the present Yuga (era) of Kali Yuga.

The following bhavishya vani / predictions, written more than 5,000 years ago by Lord (Sage) Sri Vedavyasa (he is an avatar of Lord Sri Vishnu), are simply amazing.

This is because all these bhavishya vani / predictions appear to be 100% accurate. 

Despite of the dark side and negativity of these bhavishnya vani / prophecies, there is still one bright symbol for all of us, which we will see at the end of this post.

Bhavishnya vani / Prediction 1 | Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.1 says:

श्रीशुक उवाच | ततश्चानुदिनं धर्म: सत्यं शौचं क्षमा दया । कालेन बलिना राजन् नङ्‌क्ष्यत्यायुर्बलं स्मृति: ॥ १ ॥

śrī–śuka uvāca | tataś cānu-dinaṁ dharmaḥ satyaṁ śaucaṁ kṣamā dayā | kālena balinā rājan naṅkṣyaty āyur balaṁ smṛtiḥ ||

Word by word explanation: śrī-śukaḥ uvāca — Śukadeva Gosvāmī said; tataḥ — then; ca — and; anudinam — day after day; dharmaḥ — religion; satyam — truth; śaucam — cleanliness;

kṣamā — tolerance; dayā — mercy; kālena — by the force of time; balinā — strong; rājan — O King Parīkṣit; naṅkṣyati — will become ruined; āyuḥ — duration of life; balam — strength; smṛtiḥ — memory.

Shuka Muni (Shukacharya) said: Dharma, satyam / truthfulness, saucham / cleanliness, kshama / tolerance, daya / mercy, duration of life, physical strength and memory all will diminish day by day.

This because of the powerful influence of the age of the Kali in the Kali Yuga. (Duryodhana is an avatar of Kali of Kali Yuga.)

Bhavishya vani / Prediction 2 | Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.2 says:

वित्तमेव कलौ नृणां जन्माचारगुणोदय: । धर्मन्यायव्यवस्थायां कारणं बलमेव हि ॥ २ ॥

vittam eva kalau nṝṇāṁ janmācāra-guṇodayaḥ | dharma-nyāya-vyavasthāyāṁ kāraṇaṁ balam eva hi ||

Word by word explanation: vittam — wealth; eva — alone; kalau — in the Age of Kali; nṝṇām — among men; janma — of good birth; ācāra — good behavior; guṇa — and good qualities;

udayaḥ — the cause of manifestation; dharma — of religious duty; nyāya — and reason; vyavasthāyām — in the establishment; kāraṇam — the cause; balam — strength; eva — only; hi — indeed.

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

Bhavishnya vani / Prediction 3 | Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.3 says:

दाम्पत्येऽभिरुचिर्हेतुर्मायैव व्यावहारिके । स्त्रीत्वे पुंस्त्वे च हि रतिर्विप्रत्वे सूत्रमेव हि ॥ ३ ॥

dāmpatye ’bhirucir hetur māyaiva vyāvahārike | strītve puṁstve ca hi ratir vipratve sūtram eva hi ||

Word by word explanation: dām-patye — in the relationship of husband and wife; abhiruciḥ — superficial attraction; hetuḥ — the reason; māyā — deceit; eva — indeed; vyāvahārike — in business;

strītve — in being a woman; puṁstve — in being a man; ca — and; hi — indeed; ratiḥ — sex; vipratve — in being a brāhmaṇa; sūtram — the sacred thread; eva — only; hi — indeed.

Most of the men and women will live together merely because of superficial attraction. While 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 (brahmin) just by his wearing a thread (Janeu) (Yagnopaveetham) (sacred thread).

Bhavishnya vani / Prediction 4 | Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.4 says:

लिङ्गमेवाश्रमख्यातावन्योन्यापत्तिकारणम् । अवृत्त्या न्यायदौर्बल्यं पाण्डित्ये चापलं वच: ॥ ४ ॥

liṅgam evāśrama-khyātāv anyonyāpatti-kāraṇam | avṛttyā nyāya-daurbalyaṁ pāṇḍitye cāpalaṁ vacaḥ ||

Word by word explanation: liṅgam — the external symbol; eva — merely; āśrama-khyātau — in knowing a person’s spiritual order; anyonya — mutual; āpatti — of exchange;

kāraṇam — the cause; avṛttyā — by lack of livelihood; nyāya — in credibility; daurbalyam — the weakness; pāṇḍitye — in scholarship; cāpalam — tricky; vacaḥ — words.

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.

Bhavishnya vani / Prediction 5 | Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.5 says:

अनाढ्यतैवासाधुत्वे साधुत्वे दम्भ एव तु । स्वीकार एव चोद्वाहे स्न‍ानमेव प्रसाधनम् ॥ ५ ॥

anāḍhyataivāsādhutve sādhutve dambha eva tu | svīkāra eva codvāhe snānam eva prasādhanam ||

Word by word explanation: anāḍhyatā — poverty; eva — simply; asādhutve — in one’s being unholy; sādhutve — in virtue, or success; dambhaḥ — hypocrisy; eva — alone; tu — and;

svī-kāraḥ — verbal acceptance; eva — alone; ca — and; udvāhe — in marriage; snānam — bathing with water; eva — alone; prasādhanam — cleaning and decorating of the body.

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.

Bhavishnya vani / Prediction 6 | Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.6 says:

दूरे वार्ययनं तीर्थं लावण्यं केशधारणम् । उदरंभरता स्वार्थ: सत्यत्वे धार्ष्ट्यमेव हि । दाक्ष्यं कुटुम्बभरणं यशोऽर्थे धर्मसेवनम् ॥ ६ ॥

dūre vāry-ayanaṁ tīrthaṁ lāvaṇyaṁ keśa-dhāraṇam | udaraṁ-bharatā svārthaḥ satyatve dhārṣṭyam eva hi | dākṣyaṁ kuṭumba-bharaṇaṁ yaśo ’rthe dharma-sevanam ||

Word by word explanation: dūre — situated far away; vāri — of water; ayanam — a reservoir; tīrtham — holy place; lāvaṇyam — beauty; keśa — hair; dhāraṇam — carrying; udaram-bharatā — filling the belly; sva-arthaḥ — the goal of life;

satyatve — in so-called truth; dhārṣṭyam — audacity; eva — simply; hi — indeed; dākṣyam — expertise; kuṭumba-bharaṇam — maintaining a family; yaśaḥ — fame; arthe — for the sake of; dharma-sevanam — observance of religious principles.

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.

Bhavishnya vani / Prediction 7 | Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.7 says:

एवं प्रजाभिर्दुष्टाभिराकीर्णे क्षितिमण्डले । ब्रह्मविट्‍क्षत्रशूद्राणां यो बली भविता नृप: ॥ ७ ॥

evaṁ prajābhir duṣṭābhir ākīrṇe kṣiti-maṇḍale | brahma-viṭ-kṣatra-śūdrāṇāṁ yo balī bhavitā nṛpaḥ ||

viṭ — vaiśyas; kṣatra — kṣatriyas; śūdrāṇām — and śūdras; yaḥ — whoever; balī — the strongest; bhavitā — he will become; nṛpaḥ — the king.

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.

शाकमूलामिषक्षौद्रफलपुष्पाष्टिभोजना: । अनावृष्टय‍ा विनङ्‌क्ष्यन्ति दुर्भिक्षकरपीडिता: ॥ ९ ॥

Bhavishnya vani / Prediction 9 | Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.10 says:

शीतवातातपप्रावृड्‌‌हिमैरन्योन्यत: प्रजा: । क्षुत्तृड्भ्यां व्याधिभिश्चैव सन्तप्स्यन्ते च चिन्तया ॥ १० ॥

tasmāt kṣudra-dṛśo martyāḥ kṣudra-bhāgyā mahāśanāḥ | kāmino vitta-hīnāś ca svairiṇyaś ca striyo ’satīḥ ||

MY DEAR FRIENDS, DON’T WORRY AT ALL. BUT STILL THERE IS ONE HOPE ABOUT THIS KALI YUGA as given below:

Despite all of these dark prophecies and predictions, there is one good quality in this age of Kali Yuga as given below:

Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.42 says:

कलेर्दोषनिधे राजन्नस्ति ह्येको महान् गुण: । कीर्तनादेव कृष्णस्य मुक्तसङ्ग: परं व्रजेत् ॥ ५१ ॥

Although Kali-Yuga is an ocean of faults, there is still one good quality about this age:

Simply by chanting the names of Bhagavan Lord Sri Krishna (Vishnu), one can become free from all the material bondage and be promoted to the transcendental kingdoms (higher planets and finally to the Vainkuntha).

Which God will born in Kali Yuga? : At the end of Kali Yuga, Lord Sri Vishnu takes the avatar of Lord Sri Kalki and will destroy all the ‘Adharmis’ (unrighteous people) in just one day.

What will happen in Kalyug end : At the end of Kali Yuga, all the ‘Adharmis’ will be destroyed and a new Yuga called ‘Satya Yuga’ will be started by Lord Sri Kalki, an avatar of Lord Sri Vishnu.
