Satya-yuga Will Return

“After the one thousand celestial years of Kali-yuga, the Satya-yuga will manifest again. At that time the minds of all men will become self-effulgent.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 12.2.34, translation

What the purport teaches

  • After the one thousand celestial years of Kali-yuga, Satya-yuga will manifest again.
  • Kali-yuga does not last forever; another age follows it.
  • When Satya-yuga returns, the minds of all people will become self-effulgent.

Read the translation slowly today, noting both the change of age and the change in people’s minds.

Ask yourself

How does knowing that Kali-yuga will end affect your outlook?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.

From Canto 10, chapter 14 onward, the translation and purports were completed by Śrīla Prabhupāda's disciples after his departure, and published by the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust.
