Hare Krsna,
His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaj, has given explanations of the conditions of life in
a few books, especially in the Srimad Bhagavatam. Some relevant quotes are given below:
From the Srimad Bhagavatam, 1st Canto:
"For self-realization, the people in Satya-yuga, living a lifetime of a hundred thousand years, were able to perform prolonged meditation. And in Treta-yuga, when the duration of life was ten thousand years, self-realization was attained by performance of great sacrifice. And in the Dvapara-yuga, when the duration of life was one thousand
years, self-realization was attained by worship of the Lord. But in the Kali-yuga, the maximum duration of life being one hundred years only and that combined with various difficulties, the recommended process of selfrealization
is that of hearing and chanting of the holy name, fame, and pastimes of the Lord."
"The age of Kali is very dangerous for the human being. Human life is simply meant for self-realization, but due to this dangerous age, men have completely forgotten the aim of life. In this age, the life span will gradually decrease. People will gradually lose their memory, finer sentiments, strength, and better qualities. A list of the anomalies for
this age is given in the Twelfth Canto of this work."
More information can be found in the Srimad Bhagavatam.
If you have other questions, let me know.
