Kali yuga is comming – Bhima and Yudhistira
When Yudhistar Maharaj was ruling this planet, Bhima used to help in solving
problems of people, hence people who ever has any questions/problems would
come to Bhima and ask him for help. One day, one citizen came and asked
Bhima that he noticed a strange thing that day that his fence is moving into
other's place and he is wondering why it happened like that. Bhima can help
if a demon is troubling but not these kind of puzzles so he asked him to
approach Yudhistar Maharaj.
On the same day, another citizen came and told that he came across with a
strange thing that he had a big pot with full of water, he poured that
water into small pots then he poured back from the small pots to
big pot but surprisingly only half is filling into that big
pot. Bhima not knowing what to say, he asked them to contact Yudhistar
Maharaj. Another person came to Bhima and said that he saw a strange thing
that a big elephant is passing through from a needle hole but surprisingly
it's tail got stuck in that hole. Bhima again referred him to Yudhistar
Maharaj. Another person came and said that he saw big rock in the street and
big big personalities are not able to move but a sadhu came and by waving
his Sanyasa danda, it moved. Bhima thinking that it's bad day for him and
all are coming with these strange questions which he cann't help, so he
referred them to Yudhistar Maharaj.
They all went to Maharaj Yudhistara and asked about these questions, then
Yudhistar Maharaj said that, all these qualities shows that kali yuga is
coming and he explains ......
The first symptom is one of the citizen's fence is moving into other's area
shows that people are interested in what other's have and feel unhappy why
they don't have, then think a way to aquire them either hook or crook.
The second symptom is the big pot with full of water when it is poured into
small pots and pour back into big pot, he noticed only half only, which
means that one can expect 50% love/affection/help from others compared what
you did to the same person.
The third symptom is big elephant is going through a needle but the tail is
stuck, it means that people are ready to spend a huge chunk of their
income/strength/resource for the sense satisfaction of thier family, friends
and love(Personal sense gratification) but when it comes to Bhagavan and
Bhagavatha seva they are not ready to spend a little bit also.
The fourth symptom is, big rock not moved by persons who are having lot of
strength but a sadhu moved that rock just by waving his danda, which means
that one can get rid of all their unlimited sins, just by performing
Namasankirtanam.
Though there are so many faults in this kaliyuga, the good thing is, just by
chanting the holy names of the lord, one can get upto the highest benefit of
liberation as mentioned in SB 12.3.51 that
kaler dosa-nidhe rajann
asti hy eko mahan gunah
kirtanad eva krsnasya
mukta-sangah param´ vrajet
My dear King, although Kali-yuga is an ocean of faults, there is still one
good quality about this age: Simply by chanting the name of Lord Sri Krsna,
one can become free from material bondage and be promoted to the
transcendental kingdom of Vaikunta.
PS:I humbly request all the devotees to please forward moral / instructive stories they hear so that everyone can be benefited

After the Kurukshetra War the Pandavas felt bad that so many people were killed so their eldest brother Yudhistira could become king. Krishna explained he wanted them to teach dharma for the benefit of all citizens as the age of Kali or degradation was approaching. He asked the brothers to go out and report to him whatever strange sights they saw, and He would explain how they were symptoms of Kali-yuga.
Yudhisthira reported, “I saw an elephant with two trunks.” Krishna explained, “Just like that elephant has two trunks, in Kali everyone will have two faces. Everyone will speak one thing and do another.”
Bhima said, “I saw a big pond without water although all the small ponds nearby were full.” Krishna explained, “In Kali, my representatives are like the big pond, which although deep with knowledge, will have no money and no followers, while so many bogus people will flourish with money and followers.”
Arjuna said, “I saw a bird with writings of the Vedas on it eating the flesh of a human body.” Krishna explained, “That is a symptom of Kali-yuga. In Kali people will learn some scriptural verses and exploit people and take their money.”
Nakula said, “I saw a mother cow who had given birth to a baby and the mother cow was licking the baby cow, so much that the baby cow began to bleed, and it kept bleeding.” Krishna said, “In Kali the parents will give affection to the children by encouraging them unlimitedly in material ways but completely ignoring their spiritual life.”
Sahadeva said, “After a long way, I saw a boulder came crashing down a mountain knocking down everything, trees, buildings, monuments, etc. But just before it struck me, it hit plant which stopped completely its rushing speed.” Krishna explained that the boulder is Kali-yuga personified, and the trees, monuments, and buildings are philosophies trying to oppose Kali-yuga. The little plant is the holy name of the Lord which seems to be very insignificant but which actually has the complete power to stop the force of Kali-yuga.
