Prabhupada, Bombay, April 16, 1976: ..Annad bhavanti bhutani parjanyad anna-sambhavah. This prescription is there. As soon as you stop performing yajna—you take pleasure in sporting, no yajna…Now big, big cities, they have got big, big Olympian sporting, but no yajna performance.
So why there shall not be scarcity of rain? And as soon as there is scarcity of rain, there is scarcity of food grains. And as soon as there is scarcity of food grain, so many so-called associations will come out, “Give us grain. We have to feed such and such person, such and such village.” So it is not going to the village. It is collected, and they use at their own. And government also raise tax. There will be constant durbhiksa. So to stop durbhiksa, government will tax the people.
These are all stated in the Srimad- Bhagavatam. Anavrsti durbhiksa kara-piditah, acchinna-dara- dravina gacchanti giri-kananam. In this Kali-yuga people will be very, very much harassed. First of all there is scarcity of rain, then scarcity of food grain, and then taxation by the government. These things we are expecting. It is already begun. Full Lecture
