How Srimad Bhagavatam Accurately Predicted The Future of Our Society, 5,000 Years Ago

·    In Kaliyuga, wealth alone will be considered the sign of a man’s good birth, proper behaviour, and fine qualities.

·        Men and Women will live together merely because of superficial attraction.

·        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 will be judged unholy if he does not have money, and hypocrisy will be accepted as virtue.

·      He who can maintain a family will be regarded as expert man, and the principles of religion will be observed only for the sake of reputation.

·      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.

·      The maximum duration of life for human beings in kali yuga will become 50      years.

·        Men will no longer protect their elder parents.

·        In kali yuga, men will develop a hatred for each other even over a few coins.

·        Cities will be dominated by thieves, the Vedas will be contaminated by speculative interpretations of atheist, and political leaders will consume the citizens.

·        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.

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

·        The citizens will suffer greatly from the cold, wind, heat, rain and snow. They will be further  tormented by quarrels, hunger, thirst, diseases and severe anxiety.

·        Uncultured men will accept charity on behalf of the lord and will earn their livelihood by making a show of austerity and wearing mendicant’s dress.
