16. KALKI
"Holy Thread will be the only sign of Brahmin. Ornaments, jewels will only be considered as praise and prosperity. Injustice will be the root of living. Violence and evil forces will be the root of unemployment. Bathing and washing will be considered as an act of purification. Negligence and laziness will be considered as meekness. Charity will be the only relgion. People wearing good clothes will be considered as good people. Guileful man will be considered as honourable. Then in the end, only the most powerful men will become Kings (because of increased crimes, violence and arson, etc.). People will be non-vegetarians. Their life spans will be reduced to twenty to twenty-three years. Then the human beings will go to the limit of extinction". Vishnu Purana 4, 24
"In Kali Yuga, there won't be any difference of castes or varnashram, no sacrifice or rituals as prescribed by the Vedas. Marriages will not be as per Scriptures. There won't be the relationship of teacher-disciple. Even the relationship between husband and wife will not be proper. There won't be any traditional rituals through fire. Whoever is mighty in strength, irrespective of caste, will become ruler. Only the rich will be preferred to a learned man in solemnizing the marriage.
There will be no form of repentance in Kali Yuga. Whoever likes anything, that will be the Scripture for him. The deities like Kaali (Shakthi) will be worshipped. Women become proud of their beauty. Long hair only will be considered as beauty and pride. As Kali Yuga proceeds to the end, women will go after other men, leaving their husbands. In Kali Yuga people will go for material earnings and not for spiritual developments. Rains will fail. Always people will suffer by famine and scarcity.
Women will be short statured, giving birth to too many children and suffer much, always scratching their heads with both their hands. Rulers will impose high taxes on people. Sudras appears like Sanyasis. Many people will go after money to the wheat growing countries".
"As Dharma (Godliness) continues to wane, Kali Yuga goes on increasing in its effect. When ungodly religion prospers and when evil happens to be a man of wisdom, know then the end is near. When people will forget or neglect to worship Supreme Purusha Narayana, the Lord of all Sacrifices, and when people worship unscripturally, then know ye that Kali Yuga is in its acme". Vishnu Purana 6:1
"Truth, righteousness, patience, mercy, life, strength, memory etc., go on decreasing. Money will be the criterion for judging a man's authority or honour. Only money will establish religion as justice. Carnal relationships will be the only bond between man and wife. Holy thread will be the only sign of Brahmins. Dandam and deer skin will be the sign of a Sanyasi. But nobody worries about his character. Justice will not be given to the poor. Much talking will be considered a sign of wisdom. Poor people will be considered as untouchables. Only hypocrites will be considered as saints. Bathing will be the only sign of purity".
