Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 there is complete lack of siddhantic evidence, all 4 vaisnava sampradya teach Kalki comes after some 400.000 years and so did Srila Prabhupada is is clearly confirmed in the 12 Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam and Visnu Purana also states the same, there is even a Purana that is only about Kalki avatar and His appearence in the end of this Kali Yuga, Udupi Krsna is dressed and worshipped on the day Kalki appears it is all there in sastra.May Srila Prabhupada bless her with the proper understanding one day on this matter, but that she preaches such a misconception is not good No Kalki Avatar In This Kali Yuga BY JADURANI DASI EDITORIAL, Jun 21 (VNN) — I first met Srila Narayana Maharaj about seven years ago, at the Rupa Sanatana Gaudiya Math, his temple near Seva Kunja in Vrndavan. Since that time I'd always strongly felt Srila Prabhupada's presence when ever I met Srila Maharaja. His answers to any of my questions seemed as brilliant and astounding as those of Srila Prabhupada, and everything he said gave me new insight into Srila Prabhupada's books. After several meetings with him, therefore, I was so overwhelmed that I asked him, "Can I understand that when you tell me something, that it is Srila Prabhupada telling me through you?" With a soft smile he answered, "if you have got that faith." And daily my faith became stronger and stronger. One thing he said, however, I couldn't reconcile. Srila Maharaja mentioned a few times that in this age of Kali, Kalki avatar doesn't come. Maharaja would quote Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur, who had said that "because Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu came in this particular Kali Yuga, this Kali Yuga is called Dhanya Kali, blessed Kali." Although in other Kali Yugas Kalki does come, in this one He doesn't. On one hand I had no doubts in Srila Maharaj, but on the other hand I still could not reconcile the apparent difference in Srila Prabhupada's statement. For years I had been hearing the cassette tape of Srila Prabhupada singing "Sri Dasavatar- Stotram" by Sri Jayadeva Goswami, " Kesava! dhrta-Kalki-sarira jaya jadadisa hare." Then, in his purport to the song, Srila Prabhupada had explained that at the end of Kali Yuga there will be no preaching because people will be too degraded and sinful to understand Krsna Conscious philosophy. So Kalki comes, not to preach, but to kill all the sinners and usher in the next Satya Yuga. In a humble way I told this to Srila Maharaj and he answered, "Not in this Kali Yuga. He won't come. But if he comes, no harm; he will be raising his arms and chanting 'Hari Bol! Hari Bol!' in Mahaprabhu's sankirtan movement." So I let it go. I had faith in both Srila Prabhupada and Srila Maharaja. Diksa Guru and Siksa Guru are one. Srila Prabhupada is both my diksa and siksa guru and Srila Maharaja is my siksa guru. I knew that when Srila Prabhupada wanted to, he would show me how to reconcile the apparent contradiction. Later, in studying one of our Gaudiya Vaisnava songs, Ke Jabi Ke Jabi Bhai, by Srila Locan dasa Thakura, I read, "dhanya kali-yugera caitanya-avatar," that is, Sri Caitanya-Avatara is the good fortune (dhanya) of this Kali Yuga (He does not come in every Kali Yuga. He comes as the Yuga Avatara of Kali Yuga only once in a day of Lord Brahma, that is, once every 2,000 Kali Yugas.) This convinced me, but still, I had a desire to hear more from Srila Prabhupada himself, since according to my memory, I'd previously heard the opposite from him. Then, about two months ago, on a casual reading of Caitanya Caritamrta, I found it in Madhya Lila chapter six, in the discussions between Sarvabauma Battacarya and Gopinatha Acarya. Srila Prabhupada was quoting Gopinatha Acharya, "in this age of Kali there is no lila avatar of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore He is triyuga. That is one of His holy names." In the purport, Kalki is mentioned as the last of the twenty-five Lila Avatars. At the end of the purport, Prabhupada wrote: "Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is not mentioned as a lila avatar because he is an incarnation in disguise (channa avatar). In this age of Kali there are no lila avatars, but there is an incarnation of the Lord manifested in the body of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. This has been explained in Srimad Bhagavatam." At this point I turned to Srimad Bhagavatam, first canto chapter three. There Prabhupada had written that Kalki will come after 427,000 years. Did that mean Srila Prabhupada contradicted himself?. No, of course not. Everything is reconciled. Kalki (and all other incarnations) come in the body of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. This is confirmed in Caitanya Caritamrta (Adi Lila 4.5-16). These verses explain how, just as all incarnations come in Krsna's body when he descends, so Lord Caitanya, is also Krsna Himself, and the same applies to Him "When the complete Supreme Personality of Godhead descends, all other incarnations meet together within Him." There were many other instances where I could understand by Srila Narayana Maharaja's association that I had so little understanding of Srila Prabhupada. Srila Maharaja has been giving me a deeper understanding. He is always showing me the glory of Srila Prabhupada, that he is coming in the line Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur, Srila Locan dasa Thakur, Sri Krsna das Kaviraja, Srila Rupa Goswami, and ultimately Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who came to give what no other incarnation or acharya gave for a long time--since the last time Lord Caitanya came--in the previous day of Brahma. Even with Srila Prabhupada's words in front of me for the last thirty-two years, being a conditioned soul, I can not understand him fully. Of course, "it takes one to know one." Only a Maha-bhagavata can understand the mood and siddhanta of another Maha-bhagavata. And only he can help the conditioned souls understand.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 in the below articel she claims there is no Kalki avatar in Kali yuga she has been cheated by Sarasvati the goddess of learning, what she does not understand Lord Visnu may be tri yuga, but Kalki appears at the junction of Kali and Satya Yuga , so strictly speaking He does not appear in Kali yuga but at the junction, almost like Hiranyakasipu being cheated by Lord Narasimhadeva not here not there, but then killed on the lap ,not by hands nor weapons but the Lord Killed him by His lotusnails.( she is a devotee, but the demon of misconception needs to be killed).Srila Prabhupada sometimes stated after 10.000 years the sankirtana movement is fisnished it is in the antya lila of CC in a purport. Why 10.000 years ?Appearently it is based on a statement made by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, but if Srila Prabhupada say 10.000 years that is good enough for me, but if the sankirtana movement can continue after 10.000 why all the grim predictions of terribel things to come, and day by day Kali is infiltrating society more and more, the destiny of the planet earth is in the devotees ha nds also, if we dont preach and distribute Srila Prabhupadas books profusely Kali will win this battle, it is not an automatic thing for KC to spread...well if the sankirtana movement becomes that powerfull can it continue till the end of Kali yuga?It would be wonderfull-we can't just say this is Kali yuga lets just surrender to maya, or use it as an excuse or we can try to push the sankirtana movement through untill the next satya yuga ,I like that concept....(even if sastra paints a gloomy picture for Kali Yuga) lets pray the blessing of Lord Caitanya can carry through untill Lord Kalki comes and establishes a new Yuga dharma for the next age-just a thought No Kalki Avatar In This Kali Yuga BY JADURANI DASI EDITORIAL, Jun 21 (VNN) — I first met Srila Narayana Maharaj about seven years ago, at the Rupa Sanatana Gaudiya Math, his temple near Seva Kunja in Vrndavan.
