Image
The exact translation of some verses from  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  that describe the kings of Kali-Yuga is presented here. It should make an interesting reading for all.    Prelude The Twelfth Canto of  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  begins with Śrīla Śukadeva Gosvāmī predicting the kings of the earth who will appear in the future during the Age of Kali. Then he gives a description of the numerous faults of the age   The First Chapter of this canto briefly describes the future kings of the dynasty of Magadha and how they become degraded because of the influence of the Age of Kali.  The power in the countries of Magadha and so forth will fall to kings who are no better than  śūdras  and  mlecchas  and are totally absorbed in irreligion. The Verses SB 12.1.7-8  — King Mahānandi will father a very powerful son in the womb of a śūdra woman. He will be known as Nanda and will be the master of millions of soldiers and fabulous wealth.

Lord Krishna Praises The Trees

Shri Krishna advised his friends to be fortunate like trees by fulfilling others desires even while taking pain themselves.  Presented here is exact translation of verses from Bhagwad Puran for our reference. Translation: Śukadeva Gosvāmī said to king Parikshi ......

Lord Kṛṣṇa said:  O Stoka Kṛṣṇa and Aṁśu, O Śrīdāma, Subala and Arjuna, O Viśāla, Vṛṣabha, Ojasvī, Devaprastha and Varūthapa, just see these greatly fortunate trees, whose lives are completely dedicated to the benefit of others.
