Guest guest Posted June 12, 2000 Report Share Posted June 12, 2000 Namaste All, Many who claim to be 'Avatars' do not show the vedic signs and characteristics of an avatar even remotely. Many followers foolishly believe imgainative stories and outight lies about so called Avatars being predicted in the texts. A popular story is that one prominent Guru in India, is the Kalki avatar. But that is completely bogus. The Kali Yuga has many thousands of years to run. The Kalki incarnation is described in detail in the Brahmanda-purana. In the Bhagavata-purana, the following condensed information is found; .... At the end of Kali-yuga, when there exist no topics on the subject of God, even at the residences of so-called saints and respectable gentlemen of the three higher castes, and when the power of governement is transferred to the hands of ministers elected from the low-born sudra class or those less than them, and when nothing is known about the techniques of sacrifice, even by word, at that time the Lord will appear as the supreme chastiser. Lord Vishnu--the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the spiritual master of all moving and nonmoving living beings, and the Supreme Soul of all--takes birth to protect the principles of religion and to relieve His saintly devotees from the reactions of material work. Lord Kalki will appear in the home of the most eminent brahmana of the Sambhala village, the great soul Visnuyasa. Thereafter, at the conjunction of the two yugas, the Lord of creation will take His birth as the Kalki incarnation and become the con of Visnu Yasa. At this time the rulers of the earth will have degenerated into plunderers. Lord Kalki, the Lord of the universe, will mount His swift horse Devadatta and, sword in hand, travel over the earth exhibiting His eight mystic opulences and eight special qualities of Godhead. Displaying His unequaled effulgence and riding with great speed, He will kill by the millions those thieves who have dared dress as kings. After all the imposter kings have been killed, the residents of the cities andtowns will feel the breezes carrying the most sacred fragrance of the sandalwood paste and oher decorations of Lord Vasudeva, and their minds will thereby become transcendentally pure. When Lord Vasudeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, appears in their hearts in His transcendental form of goodneess, the remaining citizens will abundantly repopulate the earth. When the Supreme Lord has appeared on earth as Kalki, the maintainer of religion, Saya-yuga will begin, and human society will bring forth progeny in the mode of goodness. When the moon, the sun and Brhaspati are together in the constellation Karkata, and all three enter simulatenously into the lunar mansion Pusya--at that exact moment the age of Satya, or Krta, will begin. (translation from BBT Srimad Bhagavatam 1987) Unfortunately I am not allowed to post without moderation, so I do not know whether this will be treated as well as some posts about so called Avatars. I can only say this, if there is a Purna Avatar on the planet, he is not doing his job very well, based on the above description. The only ones I have seen or met obviously have at least one or two desires and therefore cannot be Jnanis. We are all Avatars relatively Om Namah Sivaya, Tony.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2000 Report Share Posted June 13, 2000 Namaste, For a discussion of the cosmic cycles, the Introduction in the book "The Holy Science", by Swami Yukteshvara [Guru of Sw. Yogananda], publ. by Self-Realisation Fellowship, has a lot of information, though no specific reference is made to the points raised.
