Signs of the End of Kali Yuga

Signs from the Jagannath Temple, and the great events now unfolding.

as a warning to the devotees, several signs will appear from the Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha, towards the end of Kali Yuga. These signs will serve as evidence confirming the conclusion of Kali Yuga and the arrival of Lord Kalki's incarnation. "Bhavishya Malika" predicts that when Lord Jagannath, who originally resides in a non-manifest form, assumes a human form, a fire will break out in the gem-studded chandua (canopy) placed over the deities in the Jagannath Temple. This event, as foretold, occurred around 2004-05.

Another significant indication pertains to the presence of ominous birds perching atop the temple. It is a known fact that birds are rarely seen flying over the Jagannath Puri Temple, and this phenomenon has puzzled scientists and researchers. However, according to the Bhavishya Malika, towards the end of Kali Yuga, several times, inauspicious birds like vultures, eagles, or hawks will sit on the 'Patitapavana Bana' (flag) atop the temple. This has happened numerous times in recent years, including sightings on August 11, 2018, December 26, 2018, and July 23, 2020.

On December 7, 2021, a group of such ominous birds circled around the Jagannath Temple's flag. This phenomenon was once again witnessed on August 17, 2022. Moreover, in May and June 2023, the residents of Puri once again observed this unsettling event when these birds perched on the temple flag. The flag hoisted on the top of the Neela Chakra of Jagannath Temple is known as Patitapavana Bana.

The event of the "Patitapavana Bana" (flag of Lord Jagannath that can even purify the sinner) being blown away by the wind is another sign described in "Bhavishya Malika." This phenomenon occurred on May 2, 2019, when strong winds caused the flagpole to fall into the sea, just a day before the extremely severe cyclone 'Fani' hit the coastal areas of Puri. Similarly, a similar event took place on May 18, 2020, just two days before Cyclone 'Amphan' struck the Odisha coast. These occurrences align with the predictions made in "Bhavishya Malika" and are considered significant omens signifying the end of Kali Yuga. The burning of the flag atop the Jagannath Puri Temple is considered one of the signs indicating the end of Kali Yuga.

Traditionally, during every Ekadashi, a lamp is lit near the Nila Chakra (Blue Wheel, which is made of eight metals.) On March 19, 2020, during the auspicious Papamochani Ekadashi, a lamp was lit near the Nila Chakra, atop the temple. Strangely, on that occasion, the Patitapavana Bana caught fire when it came into contact with the lamp. This event is seen as a significant omen, reinforcing the predictions of the approaching end of Kali Yuga as mentioned in "Bhavishya Malika." The repeated falling of stones from the Jagannath Puri Temple and its premises is another significant omen of the end of Kali Yuga. This phenomenon has been occurring since 2005.

Stones falling from various parts of the temple have been witnessed multiple times. On November 1, 2011, a stone fell near the Nila Chakra area, which is an important part of the temple. In 2015, a stone weighing around 30-40 kilograms fell near the western part of the temple, close to the Bimala Temple. More recently, on August 3, 2022, a piece of plaster weighing approximately 1.5 kilograms fell from the ceiling of the temple's sanctum sanctorum.

On October 23, 2022, a stone fell near the Natamandap and Jagamohan, and another stone, weighing 2-3 kilograms, fell from the third layer of the Sakhi's idol near the South-East corner of the temple premises. These occurrences are seen as significant signs, foretelling the approaching end of Kali Yuga, as predicted in "Bhavishya Malika." The holy Banyan tree, also known as Kalpavata, located inside the courtyard of Shree Jagannath temple, is like Lord Jagannath himself in the form of a tree. Kalpavata is compared to the body of God, and it is proclaimed that even a small outer piece of bark being broken from the tree can cause extreme discomfort to God. The Neelachakra, also known as the Nilachakra, is a large, disc-shaped wheel located on top of the Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha, India.

The Neelachakra is made of an alloy known as "astadhatu" (eight metals), including iron and copper and weighs approximately 2200 kg. On May 3, 2019, the devastating cyclone 'Fani,' which struck the Puri coast, not only deformed the ‘Neel Chakra’ (atop the Jagannath Temple but also wreaked havoc on the ancient Kalpavata (sacred banyan tree) located within the temple complex, confirming yet another significant sign of the end of Kali Yuga, as described in books written 600 years ago. Several other signs mentioned in the Bhavishya Malika have been observed to manifest from the Jagannath Temple in recent times. One of these signs is the recurring occurrence of bloodshed within the temple premises for various reasons.

In summary, nearly all the signs described in the Malika books have been witnessed over the past 15-20 years. Furthermore, the Malika clearly states that during the final phase of Kaliyuga, there will be a person named "Narendra" who will be the ruler (Prime Minister) of India. Simultaneously, the responsibility for the state of Odisha will be entrusted to Shri Naveen Patnaik, the son of Shri Bijayananda (Biju Patnaik). Mahapurush Achyutananda Das, in his scripture "Gupta Gyan," provides another sign related to the end of Kaliyuga and the incarnation of Lord Kalki.

dibya siṁha aṁke bābu saraba dekhibu, chādi cakā galu boli niścaya jāṇibu, nara bāluta rūpare āmbhe janamibu। In the aforementioned Odia verses, Mahapurush Achyutananda Das states that during the reign of Shri Divyasingha, the establishment of dharma will occur. It will be during that time that Lord Vishnu will leave His Jagannath abode and incarnate as a human child. The great sage Jagannath Das, born on Radha Ashtami in Kapileshwarpur near Puri, has provided a sign of the end of Kaliyuga in his book 'Kali Malika' as follows: puruṣottama deba rājā ṭhāru, unabiṁśa rājā heba seṭhāru।

seṭhāru puṇa rājā nāhiṁ āu, akuli hoibe kulaku bahu।। The aforementioned Odia verses state that the great sage Jagannath Das wrote 600 years ago that a total of 19 kings, including the first king, Shri Purushottam Dev, would become rulers of the Jagannath Temple in Puri at different times. The sage further wrote that there would be no king after the nineteenth king, as there would be no one to continue the royal lineage. This means that they would be without sons.

According to the tradition of King Indradyumna, various kings ruled Puri at different times. Starting with King Shri Purushottam Dev, currently, Shri Divyasingh Dev (the fourth) is carrying out the responsibilities of a ruler in Puri. Shri Divyasingh Dev was born in 1953 and became the king of Puri in 1970 at the age of 17, following his father's death. He has no sons, only four daughters.

According to the great sages, Shri Divyasingh Dev (the fourth) will be the last king of Puri, and during his reign, the birth of Lord Kalki and the establishment of religion will take place. All of these signs were written by the Panchasakha to make it clear to the devotees that the end of Kali Yuga has arrived, and Lord Vishnu, equipped with 64 arts, has descended as the tenth and final avatar to destroy adharma (unrighteousness) and establish dharma (righteousness) on Earth. In the Bhavishya Malika,

The unfolding destruction & the great war

in the present time, humanity is going through extremely challenging circumstances. In the Kali Yuga, the four legs of dharma have been reduced to just one, and even that one is on the verge of being completely lost with the end of Kali Yuga. Most people may be unaware that in the coming years, humanity will face great trials and tribulations. In such trying times, saving their existence will be the greatest challenge for them.

It is well-known that the divine play of Lord Kalki's destruction has already begun since the year 2020 and will continue until 2027, reaching its final stage. According to the Bhavishya Malika, after Saturn enters Pisces in 2025, the dance of destruction will commence, making it extremely difficult for humanity to survive. Since human civilization has polluted all the five elements (water, air, fire, earth, and space), in the coming times, humanity will witness both war and the destruction of the five elements, and nature itself will become helpless. Saint Achyutanand Das writes in the Malikā, "Pātāla Bāsuki Ṭekiba Muṇḍa, tini thara je kaṁpība Brahmāṇḍa," meaning that frequent and strong earthquakes will occur, and "tini thara," or three big earthquakes, will take place.

The most significant earthquake will have a magnitude of 16 to 17 on the Richter scale. As a result, even large buildings will crumble, and the world will witness significant devastation. Imagining the scenes of destruction will be extremely difficult for humanity. The scenario of devastation will likely be extremely challenging for humanity.

On a single day, approximately 100 crore (1 billion) people will lose their lives from Delhi to Nepal, Pakistan, China, Hong Kong, Baluchistan, Afghanistan, Indonesia, and Thailand. Furthermore, the current geographical landscape of the world will undergo drastic changes. Many mountains and hills will transform into rivers, and numerous rivers that have completely dried up will revert to their previous form. According to the Bhavishya Malika, after this earthquake, a significant shift will occur in the Earth's axis.

The positions of the North Pole and South Pole will change, and the sun, rising in the west, will set in the east. According to the Malikā, there will be a world war towards the end of the Kali Yuga, and it will play a significant role in the impending destruction. The Panchasakha state that during the Dvapara Yuga, the Mahabharata war supposed to last for 18 days, but there was an unfinished battle or "Ek Bela Yuddha," which is destined to take place at the end of the Kali Yuga, orchestrated by Lord Sri Krishna. Malika mentions that all the major warriors from the time of the Mahabharata have already been born on Earth.

Among them are the five young warriors – Abhimanyu, Barbareek, Babhruvahana, Eklavya, and Ghatotkacha, who had various reasons for not participating in the war during their time. These five, along with other key figures such as the Pandavas and Kauravas, Bhishma, Drona, Karna, Duryodhana, Shalya, Ashwatthama, and Bhurishrava, will engage in a fierce battle on the side of dharma against adharma. According to the Malikā, 13 Muslim nations, including Pakistan, and China, will launch an attack on India, leading to a regional conflict that will quickly escalate into a catastrophic world war with the involvement of other countries. In the third world war, nuclear weapons will be extensively used, although Lord Kalki will prevent the use of nuclear bombs on India, thus thwarting the schemes of its enemies.

The Malikā further mentions that Russia, Japan, Germany, and France will support India in this war. Despite severe missile attacks on some major Indian cities, Lord Kalki will eventually lead India to victory, fulfilling the dream of "Akhand Bharat" or Undivided India. According to the Malikā, the remaining battle of the Mahabharata will be fought on the soil of Odisha and will last for a total of 13 months. The battle will conclude with the massacre of 14 lakh (1.4 million) foreign soldiers by Lord Kalki, and this event is predicted to take place in the years 2025-26.

The Panchasakha had written about 600 years ago that a large dam named 'Hirakud' would be constructed in the state of Odisha, which would be destroyed by India's enemies at the end of the Kali Yuga. Its destruction would lead to severe flooding in six districts of Odisha. In addition, road and rail links will be cut off. It is well-known that in 1948, construction work on the Hirakud Dam began in Odisha, and it was completed in 1953.

The dam was officially inaugurated in January 1957 by the then Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. With a total length of 26 kilometers, the Hirakud Dam, built over the Mahanadi River in the Sambalpur district of Odisha, is currently the world's longest human-made dam. This prophecy's accuracy was confirmed by the completion of the first part of the prediction. The second part of this prophecy is expected to come true in 2024-25 when, during the India-China war, the Hirakud Dam will be breached due to a Chinese missile attack, resulting in flooding in six districts of Odisha.

The prophecies in the Malikā also include a great destruction caused by Agnipralaya (fire catastrophe), Pavanpralaya (wind catastrophe), and Jalpralaya (water catastrophe). There will be numerous volcanic eruptions in flat regions, leading to the destruction of countless buildings as if Lord Indra himself is raining fire. Also, tumultuous winds will wreak havoc on the world. Coastal areas will experience unprecedented devastation due to water catastrophes.

There will be tornadoes, hurricanes, severe flooding from rivers, and massive tsunamis, which will pose a severe threat to humanity's survival. Landslides, hurricanes, river flooding, and the fall of comets and meteors will continue to bring destruction upon people walking the path of adharma. The melting of the Arctic ice will result in a significant rise in sea levels, with the most profound impact on the Atlantic Ocean. This will cause powerful nations, including the United States and England, to be submerged by up to 75%.

According to the prophecies, during the end times, the world will witness several dreadful pandemics. 64 Yoginis will bring forth 64 types of diseases. These diseases will be so perilous that numerous people will succumb to death, and neither doctors will have a cure nor medicines will be effective against them. In line with the predictions of the Panchasakhas,
