Shrimad Bhagwat Purana is one of the greatest Puranas in Hinduism. It is also known as the Mahapuran and consists of 12 parts (Skandhas), 335 chapters, and 18,000 verses. While many people know its devotional and mythological stories, very few know that it also contains predictions about Kaliyuga – the age we are living in now. In this article, we’ll you about some shocking predictions made in the Bhagwat Purana about the nature of people, society, and the end of this era.

Meaning: In Kaliyuga, people will do religious acts just to gain fame or show off. The Earth will be filled with wicked people who will do anything for power, even if it means harming others.
Meaning: In Kaliyuga, due to poverty, drought, and heavy taxation, people will be forced to leave cities and take shelter in forests and mountains. To survive, they will eat roots, leaves, meat, flowers, and wild honey.
