Explanation of Signs
What has been described in the above religious texts about the signs of the end of Kaliyuga is as follows -
- At the end of Kaliyuga, people will become hypocrites.
- Yagya, donation, fasting, and penance will be done only for name, not in the right way.
- People will not perform their duties according to the Social order.
- Brahmins will perform the duties of Shudras, while Shudras will earn their livelihood by the deeds of Vaishyas and Kshatriyas.
- In the last part of Kaliyuga, Brahmins will give up yagya, scripture study, and discipline. They will eat meat, fish, and non-vegetarian food and shun chanting and penance.
- Kings will be thieves and exploiters of the people, rule by deceit, be sinners and liars, and impose many taxes on the people.
- People will be of short height, and their physical strength will be significantly reduced.
- Despite not knowing, they will talk about Brahma Gyan (divine knowledge) in vain and read the Vedas after eating non-vegetarian food.
- People will indulge in lust and will have relations with more than one woman.
- Women will also be of short height, leave their husbands, and go to other men.
- Women will earn a living through prostitution.
- Cows will give very little milk, and it will not be sweet.
- There will be no taste in food and fruits. Brahmins will drink alcohol, and many people will drink alcohol, gamble, and eat inedible things(like non-veg).
- At the end of Kaliyuga, the number of disguised saints will increase. They will mislead people with many sects and hypocrisy, loot them, and live a life of luxury.
- People will go mad for a bit of money and kill their relatives.
- At the end of Kaliyuga, women of 7-8 years will conceive, and men of 10 to 12 years will also produce sons.
- At the age of 16, the hair of a person will turn grey, foeticide, animal slaughter, cow slaughter, theft, and robbery will spread everywhere, and the average age of a person will be 25 to 30 years.
- The sun's rays become very intense. Sometimes, droughts, sudden rain, and even floods occur without a rainy season. No season follows its usual pattern.
- Human beings will be engaged only in earning money and maintaining their families. People will become proud of their little wealth. Similarly, many other signs regarding the end of Kaliyuga are mentioned in various scriptures, all of which are visible today worldwide.
Exposing Myths related to the end of Kaliyuga
But it is not written anywhere in any religion or Sanatan religious texts that at the end of Kaliyuga, men will climb gram or brinjal trees, 7—to 8-year-old women will become grandmothers, and there will be no Bhagwat Katha anywhere—all these things are not correct or complete. These are only misleading things; some signs are deceptive, so we think that Kaliyuga has not ended, but it has.
When Devrishi Narad talked to Bhakti Mata, he said that in this terrible Kaliyuga, all the Sanatan pilgrimage sites are under the control of heretics. As mentioned in previous questions, Bhagwat was not being recited anywhere(many years ago).
In the first chapter of Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran, in Bhakti Narad Samvad, Devrishi Narad has already described the terrible Kaliyuga many times ago, which today's religious preachers don't discuss.
