He raamachandra kaha gaye siyaa se,
aisaa kalyug aayegaa
Hamsa chugegaa daanaa dunkaa,
kauvaa motee khaaegaa
Siyaa puchhe, ‘bhagavan kala yug me dharam karam
ko koee nahee maanegaa?‘
To prabhu bole:
Dharam bhee hogaa karam bhee hogaa
Paratu sharam nahee hogee
Baat-baat me maata pitaa ko,
beṭaa aakh dikhlaayegaa
Raajaa aur prajaa dono me
Hogee nisdin kheechaataanee
Kadam kadam par karege dono
apnee-apnee man maanee
Jiske haath me hogee laathee
Bhaisa vahee le jaaegaa
Suno siyaa kalyuga me kaalaa
Dhan aur kaale mana honge
Chora uchakke nagara setha aur
Prabhu bhakta nirdhana honge
Jo hogaa lobhee aur bhogee
vo jogee kahalaayegaa
Mandir sunaa sunaa hogaa
bhari rahegee madhushaalaa
Pitaa ke sang-sang bharee sabhaa me
naachegee ghar ke baalaa
Kaisaa kanyaadaana pitaa hee
kanyaa kaa dhan khaayyegaa
Lord Raam spoke of the state of the world in the age of Kaliyuga. He predicted that things will become opposite to what is good and righteous, for example, the pearl-like swans will eat waste matter and the flesh-eating crows will eat pure items.
Asked to expound further on whether righteous action will matter in Kaliyug. Lord Raama responded thus:
There will be righteous living and righteous actions, however, many will be shameless in their lifestyle. Every comment and advice from mother and father will be met with ridicule from their children.
The relationship between rulers/leaders and the people will deteriorate continuously. Every bit of advancement will become dragged out into dictatorship and arbitrary decisions because the power will be in the hands of those who are supposed to serve instead of in the people’s hands.
In these dark ages, the pursuit of wealth will blind everyone. The thieves will be treated as though they are saints while the saints will be outcasts.
The places of worship will become empty while rum shops will be full. Fathers will stop honoring and protecting their children (for holy matrimony) and will instead be guilty of abuse.
Mahendra Kapoor, Movie: Gopi (1970)
