KALKI AVATAR

[Guest guest]

The Appearance of Kalki Avatar

 

On this day of the Sravana month sukla 6 (August 17),

the appearance day of Lord Kalki is observed according

to the Pancaratra texts. Famous as the last of the

ten major avatara-s of Lord Vishnu, He has yet to make

His appearance in this cycle of time, a time so

dangerous that we are encouraged in the Srimad

Bhagavatam to worship Him for protection:

(According to some, He appears on Vaisakha sukla 12.)

 

kalkiH kaleH kAla-malAt prapAtu

dharmAvanAyoru-kRtAvatAraH

 

"May Kalki-deva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead,

who appeared as anincarnation to protect religious

principles, protect me from the dirt of the age of

Kali."

 

This prayer becomes more and more relevant as the age

of Kali and its degradation progresses. In fact we

are now approaching the 51st Centennial of the Age of

Kali in early 1999, which promises to be interesting

if one is inclined to believe astrological

predications. Regardless of the details, each and

every year is a gradual step into darkness and chaos.

Only the recitation of the name and pastimes of the

Lord Kalki and His incarnations can free us from the

shackles of the Age of Kali.

 

Although described elaborately in the

Brahmanda-purana, the Bhagavatam describes Lord

Kalki's pastimes briefly:

 

..... 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.

Hello everyone,

 

Srimate Naaraayanaaya namaha.

 

Around the year 1975, I used to read the books in

which the 10th Avataar is mentioned as Kalki avataar

which is Lord Venkateshwara (Balaji) avataar already

happened. But since 1990s, this incarnation seems to

have no importance and people started praying some

other diety as kalki?

 

Can someone clear me about this. I am confused. The 10

avataars(incarnations), I know are :

 

Matysa, Koorma, Varaaha, Naarasimha, Vaamana,

Parasurama, Sri Rama, Sri krishna, Buddha & Kalki(

which I guess is Venkateswara).

 

Without the incarnation, the avataar I guess will not

be in the list. Some people even including Balarama

also as an avataar by taking one of the avataar out of

the list which I guess is wrong.

 

Please clarify me, if you have any information regd

what is Venkateshwara avataar, if he is not kalki?

 

Thank you very much in advance.

 

Regards

Ramanuja daasan

Narasimhan & Rupa
