 Characteristic of people in Kali Yuga




Wealth alone will be considered as the symbol of good birth. Law and judgement will be amended based on ones power. Men and women will decide to live together based on physical appearance. No importance will be given to good character.
Deceit will be used to succeed in business. External identification marks like wearing the sacred thread etc alone will be used to identify a person as a Brahmin even though they might have no other qualifications.
People will give importance to hairstyle as hairstyle will be considered as the symbol of beauty. Men will gain political power by using strength.
Rulers will be no better than thieves. Harassed by corrupt rulers people will suffer from drought and famine. Weather will become unbearable as people will face the extremes of cold weather, severe rains and extreme heat.  Life span will be reduced to fifty years. People will become short in stature. Atheism will take control and people will forget the path of Vedas. Cows will be small in size like goats. Spiritual retreats will be like regular homes. Trees will be very small in size. At this time, Lord Vishnu will incarnate as kalki to uplift everyone. He will incarnate as the son of Viṣṇuyaśā in the village of Śambhala.
Lord Kalki will ride on His  swift horse Devadutta with a sword in hand. He will rid this Earth of all the corrupt people. Once the corrupt rulers have been removed, a gentle breeze filled with the fragrance of sandalwood will flow through the cities purifying the minds of everyone. The Krita Yugam will once again enter when the sun, moon and Jupiter are together in the constellation of Cancer and together enter the lunar mansion of the star Pusya.
Of the seven stars forming the constellation of the seven sages, Pulaha and Kratu are the first to rise in the night sky. If a line running north and south were drawn through their midpoint, whichever of the lunar mansions this line passes through is said to be the ruling asterism of the constellation for that time. The Seven Sages will remain connected with that particular lunar mansion for one hundred human years. Currently, during your lifetime, they are situated in the nakṣatra called Maghā.
When the constellation of the seven sages is passing through the lunar mansion Maghā, the age of Kali begins. It comprises twelve hundred years of the demigods.
 When the great sages of the Saptarṣi constellation pass from Maghā to Pūrvāsāḍhā, Kali will have his full strength, beginning from King Nanda and his dynasty
After the one thousand celestial years of Kali-yuga, the Satya-yuga will manifest again. At that time the minds of all men will become self-effulgent.

Srimadh Bagawatham - Effects of Keeping bad Company

Continued From: http://thoughtsonsanathanadharma.blogspot.ca/2014/10/srimadh-bagawatham-age-of-kali.html



There once lived a man called Govardhanan. He lived happily with his wife serving his guru Vishnu Swami at his house. Everyday his guru would decide to leave their home so that he could go away to meditate upon the Lord in solitude but Govardhanan and his wife would plead with the guru and make him agree to stay for one more day. Vishnu Swami realized that he could never take leave of Govardhanan; he decided to leave without telling them. Vishnu Swami left their home in the middle of the night so that he could detach himself from the affection of Govardhanan.
The couple searched for Vishnu Swami everywhere in the morning. They felt dejected when they didn’t find him. As they had spent their time listening to the lectures of Vishnu Swami they didn’t know how to spend their time after their guru left them.
‘I will go for a walk’, Govardhanan announced one day to his wife.
He started walking down the street. At the end of the street he saw a group of young men sitting around a table playing dice. He stopped to look at them out of curiosity.
‘We are short of one hand’, one of the men called out to him. ‘Would you like to play with us?’
‘What is this game? I don’t  think I know the rules.’
‘It is very easy. We will teach you the rule’, they called to him.
Govardhanan joined their company and started to enjoy the game.
‘I met some nice young men who invited me to play a game of dice with them’, said Govardhanan to his wife.
‘It doesn’t sound right to me. Why seek such company while you can sit at home and chant the Lord’s names?’
‘You won’t understand!’ snapped Govardhanan.
His wife was taken by surprise as he had never raised his voice before.
Soon Govardhanan’s new found friends introduced him to alcohol.
‘We are going to see a dance’, they told him one day. ‘The dancer is very exquisite! Why don’t you come with us?’
Soon Govardhanan was swayed by passion and went to live with the dancer after abandoning his wife. Whenever the dancer demanded more money, Govardhanan would visit his wife, hit her and snatched her jewellery.
His wife overcome by misery started to cry one day. She said to herself, ‘if only our guru hadn’t left us my husband wouldn’t have gone astray!’
She heard someone knock at the door. Afraid that it might be her husband come back to torment her for more money, with trembling hands she opened the door but to her surprise she saw Vishnu Swami standing on the threshold.
‘Whats the matter? Is Govardhanan okay?’ asked Vishnu Swami as Govardhanan’s wife started to cry.
‘He has gone astray’, she said and then recounted everything to Vishnu Swami.
‘I will return with Govardhanan’, promised Vishnu Swami and he went to the home of the dancer.
Vishnu Swami knocked at the door of the dancer and called for Govardhanan. Govardhanan heard his guru’s voice and something stirred in his heart. Govardhanan came to the door and seeing his guru standing outside, he remembered the time he had spent in the company of his guru. Immediately he was overcome by remorse as he realized his errors. He fell at his guru’s feet and asked to be pardoned.
Vishnu Swami reformed Govardhanan. Stayed with Govardhanan and his wife till Govardhanan returned to the old path.
The above narrative shows that a bagawatha must avoid bad company as through such company  other evils enter our life and can take us away from the right path on to the path of sins.
