    Kalki Avatar is the tenth and final avatar of Lord Vishnu who is yet to appear. He will appear at the end of the Kali Yuga, a time when religious principles have degraded and the rulers have turned evil. Kalki will be born in the village of Sambhal to rescue humanity and relieve devotees of material suffering. Mounting his horse Devadatta, with a sword in hand, he will kill many imposter kings who have disrupted society and establish righteousness. His appearance will mark the beginning of the next time cycle, Satya Yuga.

    The Appearance of Kalki Avatar

    (August 17, 1999)


    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.
    (translation from BBT Srimad Bhagavatam 1987)
