Beliefs of the Hare Krishna Golden Age

The Golden Age
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada Founder-Acarya of the Hare Krishna Movement
This present age is called Kali-yuga, or the dark iron age of quarrel and hypocrisy. It is considered a very unfortunate age as spiritual knowledge is covered and almost the entire population of the planet is performing in unlimited sinful activities. As a result of this sinful activity there are many natural disturbances such as earthquakes, irregular rains and terrible diseases.
This situation has created a general climate of anxiety and despair. Because of this disturbed atmosphere it is difficult to practice most of the spiritual methods which are recommended in the great Scriptures of the world.
There is, however, hope.
Transformation of the Planet
A distressful condition has been created on this planet as a result of the many sinful activities performed by the population in general. This has created a horrendous burden of global bad karma. The chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra on a grand scale will quickly counteract the accumulated bad karma and relieve the earth of her burden, thus bringing about a transformation of the planet.
The result will be regular rainfall all over the planet, the climate will become very pleasant, the earth will produce abundant quantities of food grains, the cows will produce unlimited quantities of milk, the oceans and rivers will produce minerals, jewels and natural fertilizer and the forests will provide honey, fruits, flowers and medicinal drugs. Conflict and anxiety will disappear as Krishna becomes the central point of everyone's activities.
The conditions on earth will become similar to those in the spiritual world and we will experience the "heaven on earth" which has been predicted in many of the world's Scriptures. As this chanting clears away the dust which covers our spiritual vision everyone will be able to see that the central point is Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead and will naturally want to serve Him.
The planet will be transformed from this horrible iron age of Kali-yuga into a transcendental Golden Age.
