It is strange how the prediction made by our sages and saints are coming true in our time. According to Hindu Mythology, the time period in years is divided into four Yugas namely Satyayug, Tretayug, Dvaaparyug and Kaliyuga. It is believed that we are living in the fourth and final age. Kali Yuga is characterized by limited consciousness, loss of spiritual abilities, and lack of mental clarity. Other characteristics include physical labor, lack of willpower, division into castes, slavery, military conquests, and acceptance of harsh conditions. It is said to be the ages of conflict and sin. It is said in our vedas that, yhe righteousness and religiosity is the maximum in Satyayuga and goes on diminishing progressively and is the lowest in Kaliyuga, which is presently in force.
Our ancient Sanskrit has highlighted this importsnt lines from nowhere which is coming true in todays time.
Dhigdhigdhanam maahaanarthanidhaanam mohasaadhanam.
Streesoonaadyootamadyaanaam Hetusthaanam yatah kale.
Dhigdhigdhanam = dhik + dhik + dhanam.
Dhik = shame upon.
Dhanam = wealth
Mahaanarthanidhanam = maha + anartha + nidhaanam.
Maha = great, abundant.
Anarth = disaster, any bad occurance.
nidhanam = root cause
Moha = delusion, infatuation.
Saadhanam = instrument. Streesoonaadyootamadyaanaam = stree + soonaa + dyoota + madyaanaam.
Stree = women.
Soonaa = life threatening dsnger.
Dyoota = gambling.
Madyaanaam = various liquors.
Hetu = cause, reason.
Sthaanam = place.
Yatah = because.
Kale = Kaliyuga.
The above lines states that, "Shame upon this wealth, which is the root cause of all disasters in this World and creates delusion and infatuation among people. In Kaliyuga gambling and consumption of liquor and other intoxicants by the misuse of wealth is very rampant and is very harmful and life threatening to womenfolk in particular.
Near the end of Kali Yuga, a cataclysm and the re-establishment of dharma will usher in the next cycle's Krita (Satya) Yuga. The Hindu god Vishnu's final incarnation, Kalkin, will appear to destroy the wicked and bring in this new age.
Kali Yuga is said to last for 432,000 years, or 1,200 divine years. As of 2024 CE, there are 426,875 years left in Kali Yuga.
