Chapter -99 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda –Sage Kakabhusundi describes the evilness of the Kali era 

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, In the Kali era people attired in an inauspicious garment, adorned in unique ornaments, eat whatever get into their hands, consider themselves as a perfect ascetic, and they would be worshiped by all. The most cunning and wicked people get respect in society and the dull-witted inconsiderate people who blabber by word, deed, and thought portray themselves as poets. Men would remain under the control of women, and dance like monkeys in the hands of trainers. The Shudras portraits themselves as superior in knowledge, consider themselves superior to Bhramin, adopt Janeau/sacred thread, Shikha, and attire, they would accept any type of gifts by sharing false knowledge. The unfortunate Jeeva takes great pleasure in the material things, swollen with pride, will have no faith in scriptures, Veda, deities, or Bhramins, or Santh, Mahathma. The unfortunate wife would abandon her virtuous and handsome husband and take shelter in strangers in the name of love. The Suhasini/wife whose husband alive would abandon jewels and Mangaladhravya, the widow/Amangali dress up herself as most fashionable would appear in public. The preceptor and disciple would behave like a blind and deaf, whatever advised by the preceptor would fall in the deaf ears of the disciple. Oh! Garuda, The preceptor who is attired in saffron robes aims to milk money from his disciple and fails to remove their grief by imparting spiritual knowledge/Paramarththa Thaththva would fall into terrible hell. Oh! Khagapathi, the parents in Kali Yuga teach their children how to amass wealth and fill their belly, they won’t impart the truthfulness and righteousness for their spiritual benefit.”
