Hinduism :
The end of the Kali Yuga
Sridhar
By the time of the Kali Yuga ends ( present era as per Hinduism ), the bodies of all creatures will be greatly reduced in size , and the religious principles of Varnasrama 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 ( rulers ) mostly will be thieves ; the occupation of men will be stealing ; lying and needless violence ; and all the social classes will be reduced to the lowest level . Cows will be killed , spiritual centers will be no different from mundane house , family ties will extend no further than the immediate bonds of marriage . Most plants and herbs will disappear . Seasons will go awry , homes will be devoid of piety and there will be no morality .
At that time , the Supreme God will appear on the earth . Acting with the power of pure spiritual goodness , He will rescue eternal religion . At the conjunction of two Yugas ( Kali Yuga and Satya Yuga ), the Lord of creation will take His birth as Kalki Avatar and become the son of Vishnuyashas of Shambhala Village .
- Srimad Bhagavad Purana .
