When do you thing the kali yuga end?

Kali Yuga is either just starting or just about to end.

Keep your faith.

It would be nice if it could end soon. I did hear we had several thousand more years to go yet though.

OP here I think it will end with the beginning of the aquarius age in 3573 CE. we are at the beginning of it. I'm looking the astrological age on wikipedia every age is 2160 years. we have 1556 years to go. What a happy time to be alive....

Within Kali Yuga is a 10,000 year golden age inaugurated by Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and the sankirtan movement.

>>18599442
How long until that starts?

>>18599449
Started 500 years ago. We are currently in it.

>>18599454
Could have fooled me.

>>18599462
It is only a golden age for those who take advantance of the kindness of Lord Chaitanya and Nityananda prabhu (chiefly by chanting of the Hare Krsna mahamantra). In this way we can attain a higher conception of God (Lord Krsna) than what was available in previous yugas.

>>18599442
You are a follower of a specific religious doctrine, correct?

Still you must admit that Krishna's words on this golden age do not refer only to Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. He said "I will be present" [during this entire period] meaning the Lord will be present in various avatars throughout this entire period.

The next avatar will be a Pepe.

So, i've got to start wearing orange robes?

>>18599476
Gaudiya Vaishnava initiate. There will be many empowered representatives of the Lord (such as Bhaktivinod Thakur and Srila Prabhupada ) but Lord Chaitanya was the last avatar to descend as I understand it.

The external cloth is less important than keeping Krsna in your heart and chanting his holy names.

The highest conception of the divine, i.e. the supreme personality of godhead.

>>18599516
That all?

>>18599211
Imo, the age of the universe is based on your level of consciousness. I felt on lsd that if one reached a certain level of consciousness, Sattva, they would no longer exist in kali yuga. Basically this age is defined by the seperation of the material and spiritual realms. If you reach sufficient spiritual awareness that matter in your body will "wake up", as above so below. The mind and world become the telepathic thought created through meditation on god. In the next age the sky will come alive again, the stars will seem closer, we will be able to commune with beings on other planets by thinking of them. Time will accelerate and the galactic spin will be traversal as if you can move forwards or backwards in the galactic evolution.

I don't want to step on the Gaudiya Vaishnava guy's feet, but here's my take on Krishna. I'm the Pepe faggot btw.

Krishna is simply the most high powered spiritual being we've ever seen on earth. The shit he did is just nuts, so we tend to accept his teachings more. Also because his syncretic teachings incorporate and allow other ideas to exist.

Krishna was able to exist seamlessly concurrently engaging in the roles of a God and of a human being with his own life. He served the purposes of God to those around him, demonstrating omnipotence, yet demonstrated full human identity.

This is what is so fascinating and inscrutable about Krishna. His feats and his qualities are such that, even if you were an atheist, even if you were a confused person, it would give you pause to hear about such a person.

So we give these people credence when they say he was literally God in human form, because this is not impossible.

>>18599226
we are at the end of it and the end times are coming.

>>18599595
Are you allowed to mix mythologies like that?

>>18599565
Interesting to note that Krsna's intimate associates in Vrindavana do not know he is God, they just love him.

Continuing with a description of time from the Bhagavatam (one of my favorite parts). Limiting myself to only bits regarding the yuga cycle:

> SB 3.11.12 — Two solar movements make one day and night of the demigods, and that combination of day and night is one complete calendar year for the human being. The human being has a duration of life of one hundred years.
Important for noting 1 demigod day = 1 human year.

>SB 3.11.18 — Maitreya said: O Vidura, the four millenniums are called the Satya-, Tretā-, Dvāpara- and Kali-yuga. The aggregate number of years of all of these combined is equal to twelve thousand years of the demigods.
>SB 3.11.19 — The duration of the Satya millennium equals 4,800 years of the years of the demigods; the duration of the Tretā millennium equals 3,600 years of the demigods; the duration of the Dvāpara millennium equals 2,400 years; and that of the Kali millennium is 1,200 years of the demigods.
>SB 3.11.20 — The transitional periods before and after every millennium, which are a few hundred years as aforementioned, are known as yuga-sandhyās, or the conjunctions of two millenniums, according to the expert astronomers. In those periods all kinds of religious activities are performed.

12th Canto, Ch 2, a description of the symptoms of Kali Yuga. If there are no complaints, I'll just copypaste the entire chapter (editing for relevance). https://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/12/2

In Kali-yuga, wealth alone will be considered the sign of a man’s good birth, proper behavior and fine qualities. And law and justice will be applied only on the basis of one’s power.

Men and women will live together merely because of superficial attraction, and success in business will depend on deceit. Womanliness and manliness will be judged according to one’s expertise in sex, and a man will be known as a brāhmaṇa just by his wearing a thread.

A person’s spiritual position will be ascertained merely according to external symbols, and on that same basis people will change from one spiritual order to the next. A person’s propriety will be seriously questioned if he does not earn a good living. And one who is very clever at juggling words will be considered a learned scholar.

A person will be judged unholy if he does not have money, and hypocrisy will be accepted as virtue. Marriage will be arranged simply by verbal agreement, and a person will think he is fit to appear in public if he has merely taken a bath.

A sacred place will be taken to consist of no more than a reservoir of water located at a distance, and beauty will be thought to depend on one’s hairstyle. Filling the belly will become the goal of life, and one who is audacious will be accepted as truthful. He who can maintain a family will be regarded as an expert man, and the principles of religion will be observed only for the sake of reputation.

As the earth thus becomes crowded with a corrupt population, whoever among any of the social classes shows himself to be the strongest will gain political power.

Losing their wives and properties to such avaricious and merciless rulers, who will behave no better than ordinary thieves, the citizens will flee to the mountains and forests.

Harassed by famine and excessive taxes, people will resort to eating leaves, roots, flesh, wild honey, fruits, flowers and seeds. Struck by drought, they will become completely ruined.

The citizens will suffer greatly from cold, wind, heat, rain and snow. They will be further tormented by quarrels, hunger, thirst, disease and severe anxiety.

The maximum duration of life for human beings in Kali-yuga will become fifty years.

By the time the Age of Kali ends, the bodies of all creatures will be greatly reduced in size, and the religious principles of followers of varṇāśrama will be ruined. The path of the Vedas will be completely forgotten in human society, and so-called religion will be mostly atheistic. The kings will mostly be thieves, the occupations of men will be stealing, lying and needless violence, and all the social classes will be reduced to the lowest level of śūdras. Cows will be like goats, spiritual hermitages will be no different from mundane houses, and family ties will extend no further than the immediate bonds of marriage. Most plants and herbs will be tiny, and all trees will appear like dwarf śamī trees. Clouds will be full of lightning, homes will be devoid of piety, and all human beings will have become like asses. At that time, the Supreme Personality of Godhead will appear on the earth. Acting with the power of pure spiritual goodness, He will rescue eternal religion.

>The Chapter continues with some astrological timing of certain events, along with what happens when Lord Kalki appears to end Kali Yuga.

When the Supreme Lord has appeared on earth as Kalki, the maintainer of religion, Satya-yuga will begin, and human society will bring forth progeny in the mode of goodness.

When the moon, the sun and Bṛhaspatī are together in the constellation Karkaṭa, and all three enter simultaneously into the lunar mansion Puṣyā — at that exact moment the age of Satya, or Kṛta, will begin.

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.

Those who scientifically understand the past declare that on the very day that Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa departed for the spiritual world, the influence of the Age of Kali began.

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.
