Bhavishya Malika · Chapter 4 of 10

Sins of Kali Yuga

The vices that shorten the age — and the practices that protect the soul.

In his other work, "Uddhav Bhakti Pradaini," Mahapurusha Achyutananda Das elaborates on the extensive conversation between Uddhava and Lord Krishna. In this dialogue, Lord Krishna discusses the 35 different heinous sinful activities that will occur in Kali Yuga and how each of these sinful acts will diminish the duration of Kali Yuga. Uddhava is informed by Lord Shree Krishna that after 5,000 years of indulgence in Kali Yuga, He will leave His abode in Jagannath dham (Shree Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha) and appear on Earth in human form. His mission will be to eradicate adharma (unrighteousness) and sin from the world and reestablish truth, righteousness, and justice.

According to "Bhavishya Malika,"

How to be saved from the destruction

within the next 2-3 years, an unprecedented and unimaginable catastrophe is set to engulf the entire human race. This will mark the end of the Kali Yuga era. All institutions today, whether they are schools, universities, hospitals, corporations, banks, or any other entities, will cease to exist. Even all forms of communication will become inactive.

Readers will be pleased to know that there are ways to avoid this impending catastrophe, as suggested by the Panchasakhas in their prophecies. To escape this, individuals must strive to become entirely sattvic (pure) in mind, speech, and actions. This includes giving up all forms of meat and adopting a sattvic diet. People will need to uphold the values of truth, peace, compassion, forgiveness, and friendship in their lives.

Abandoning the path of unrighteousness and following the path of righteousness is essential. Daily practice of Trisandhya (meditation and prayers three times a day) and regular recitation of the Shrimad Bhagavat Mahapuran will assist people in securing themselves from the forthcoming great destruction. It is worth noting that it has already been written in Bhavishya Malikā that following the destruction play of Lord Kalki, 33 crore individuals within India and 31 crore individuals outside India will survive and bear witness to the era of Satya Yuga.
