In religious texts, the Kalki incarnation of Lord Vishnu has been linked to the end of Kaliyuga and the reestablishment of religion. It is believed that in the last phase of Kaliyuga, when unrighteousness, atrocities and sins will increase, then Lord Vishnu will incarnate in the form of Kalki and establish religion. Due to this belief, Kalki Jayanti is celebrated every year on Sawan Shukla Shashthi. On this day, Kalki form of Lord Vishnu is worshipped.
Description of incarnation is found in Kalki Purana.
Kalki Purana describes the appearance of Kalki, the tenth and last incarnation of Lord Vishnu. In this, the circumstances of the last phase of Kaliyuga and the story of God’s incarnation are told. It is believed that with time, when unrighteousness will increase in the society, people’s values will decrease and faith in religion will weaken, then Lord Kalki will be incarnated.
Will receive divine powers from Lord Shiva
According to religious beliefs, Lord Kalki will perform rigorous penance for Lord Shiva on the instructions of his Guru Parashuram. By worshiping Lord Shiva they will gain divine powers. After this they will fight against unrighteousness and sin. It is believed that Lord Kalki will come out riding on a white horse named Devdutt and will destroy unrighteousness. This form of his is considered a symbol of the victory of religion.
Incarnation will happen in special astronomical coincidence
According to the belief described in the 12th Canto of Shrimad Bhagwat Purana, when Jupiter, Sun and Moon will be situated together in Pushya Nakshatra, then Lord Vishnu will incarnate in the form of Kalki. He is believed to appear in the last phase of Kaliyuga and reestablish religion. After this, the beginning of Satyayuga has been said.
How many years is Kaliyuga?
According to mythological calculations, the total duration of Kaliyuga is considered to be 4 lakh 32 thousand years. It is considered to have started after the departure of Lord Shri Krishna from the earth in 3102 BC. According to this calculation, the present time is only the beginning of Kaliyuga. Therefore, the story of Kalki Avatar is seen as a religious belief to the future rather than a present-day event.
Lord Kalki will be born in Sambhal
Sambhal is mentioned in Kalki Purana as the birthplace of Lord Kalki. His father’s name is Vishnuyash and mother’s name is Sumati. According to religious belief, he will have four brothers, who will help him in establishing the religion. Lord Kalki is also believed to have had two marriages and the names of his wives are said to be Padma and Rama.
Devdutt will ride on horse Kalki
The form of Lord Kalki is described in Agni Purana. According to belief, he will ride on the white horse Devdutt and will have a bow and arrow in his hands. His brilliant and mighty form is considered a symbol of the victory of religion over unrighteousness. In religious texts he has been described as endowed with 64 arts.
message of religious restoration
The whole concept of Kalki Avatar is to the establishment of righteousness and destruction of unrighteousness. According to religious belief, when sins and atrocities on earth reach their peak, Lord Vishnu will incarnate in the form of Kalki and end unrighteousness and re-establish religion. With this, there is recognition of the end of Kaliyuga and the beginning of Satyayuga.
