The first phase of Kaliyuga is going on or is in its infancy, and the age of Kaliyuga is 432,000; so are the sayings of the pundits, storytellers, and saints, but in Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran , unmistakable evidence has been given about the state of Kaliyug. After 2300 years of Kaliyug, Bhakti Devi and Narad Muni had a conversation mentioned in the first chapter of Bhagwat Mahatmya.

According to this dialogue, Sage Narad was telling Bhakti Devi that the terrible Kali Yuga was going on at that time and Kali Yuga was in its Darun (middle) state. This is clear from the shloka given below. 5128 years of Kaliyuga has passed now . We have to think about which stage of Kali Yuga must be going on right now.
Iha ghore kallau prāyo jīvaśchāsuratāṁ gataḥ
Kleśākṛāntasya tasyaiva śodhanē ki parāyaṇam
- Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran
In this severe calamity, the living beings have almost become demonic. What is the best solution to make these living beings, afflicted with various afflictions, pure (imbued with divine power? ॥6॥
Hariḥkṣetraṁ kurakṣetra śrīrṭhaga setubandhanam.॥ Evamādiṣu tīrthṣu bhramamāṇa itastataḥ॥ 29
Nāpaśyaṁ kutraciccharm manassantoṣakārakam. Kalinādharmamitrēṇa dharēyaṁ bādhitādhunā.॥ 30
- Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran
Naradji said- I came to the earth thinking it to be the best world. Here I roamed here and there in many places of pilgrimage like Pushkar, Prayag, Kashi, Godavari (Nashik), Haridwar, Kurukshetra, Shrirang and Setubandh; but I did not find peace that would satisfy my mind anywhere. At this time, Kaliyug , the supporter of evil, has tormented the entire earth.॥28-30॥
Satyaṁ nāsti tapaḥ śauca dayā dānaṁ na vidyate
Udarambhariṇo jīvā varākāḥ kūṭabhāṣiṇaḥ॥ 34
Mandāḥ sumandamatayo mandabhāgyā hayapagatāḥ.
Pākhāṇḍaniratāḥ sān̄to viraktāḥ saparigrahāḥ॥ 32
Taruṇīprabhutā gehe śyālako buddhidāyakaḥ
Kanyāvikrayiṇo lobhādadampatīnāṁ ca kalkanam॥ 33
- Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran
Now here there is nothing like truth, penance, cleanliness (purity inside and outside), mercy, charity etc. Poor creatures are only engaged in earning their own stomachs; they have become liars, lazy, dim-witted, unfortunate, and trouble-prone. Those who are called saints and sages have become complete hypocrites; they appear to be detached, but they collect women, wealth etc. Women rule in the houses, brothers-in-law have become advisors, people sell their daughters out of greed and there is quarrel between men and women. 3-33॥
Āśramā yavanaiḥ rudhāstīrthāni saritastathā
Devatāyatanānyatra duṣṭaiṇaṣṭāni bhūriśaḥ.॥ 34
- Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran
The hermitages of the great souls, the holy places and the rivers have come under the control of the Yavanas (heretics); those wicked ones have also destroyed many temples.॥34॥
Na yogī naiva siddho vā na jñānī sakriyo naraḥ
Kalidāvanalēnādya sādhana bhasmatāṁ gatam॥ 35
- Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran
At this time there is no Yogi or Siddha, no wise person or one who does good deeds. At this time all the means have been burnt to ashes by the forest fire of Kali. 35.
Aṭṭaśūlrā janapadāḥ śivaśūlrā dvijātayaḥ
Kāminyaḥ keśaśūlīnyaḥ sambhavanti kalāvih
Aṭṭamannaṁ śivo vedaḥ śūlrō vikraya ucyate
- Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran
In this Kali-yuga all the citizens of the country have started selling food grains in the markets, the Brahmins teach the Vedas for money and the women have started living as prostitutes. ॥36॥
Utpan̄nā draviḍe sāhaṁ vṛddhiṁ karṇāṭakē gatā
Kvacitkvacinmahārāṣṭra gurjarē jīrṇatāṁ gatā ॥ 48
- Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran
I was born in the Dravidian country, grew up in Karnataka, was respected at some places in Maharashtra; but in Gujarat, old age surrounded me. ॥48॥
Tatra ghorakalāgātpākhaṇḍaiḥ khaṇḍitāigakā
Durbalāhaṁ ciraṁ yātā putrābhyāṁ saha mandatām ॥ 49
- Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran
There, due to the terrible effects of Kali Yuga, the hypocrites mutilated me. Due to this condition lasting for a long time, I became weak and feeble along with my sons. 49
Tena sadācāro nārada uvāca śuṇuṣvāvahitā bāle yugo'yaṁ dāruṇaḥ.
Kaliḥ tena luptaḥ sadācāra yogamārgaśtapāṁsi ch ॥ 57
- Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran
Naradji said- Devi! Listen carefully. This is the terrible Kaliyuga . Due to this, good conduct, the path of yoga and penance, etc. have all disappeared. 57॥
Janā adhaghāsurāyante śāṭhayaduṣkarmakāriṇaḥ॥
Iha sananto viṣīdanti prahṛṣyanti hayasādhavaḥ॥
Dhattē dhairya tu yo dhīmān sa dhīraḥ paṇḍitōthavā॥ 58
- Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran
People are becoming Asur by indulging in deceit and evil deeds. Wherever you see in the world, the virtuous are saddened by sorrow and the wicked are becoming happy. At this time, the wise man who has patience is the one who is very knowledgeable or a scholar.॥58॥
Aspṛśyānavalōkyeṁ śēṣabhārakarī dharā॥
Varṣa varṣa krāmājjātā maḍagalaṁ nāpi dṛśyate॥ 59
- Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran
Gradually every year the earth is becoming a burden for Sheshji. Now it is not even worth seeing, let alone touching it, and there is no sign of good in it. 59
