Kalki avtara

Events Depicted in the Kalki Purana

Kali Yuga

As soon as Krishna, the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu, leaves the earth and returns to Vaikunta, the Kali Yuga will have begun. The Kali demon will rule the earth and bring sin and misery to the people. When the first stage of the Kali Yuga begins, the Indian caste system and varna system will break down. Soon after this, the second, third, and fourth stages of the Kali Yuga begin. Men will forget the name of God and no longer offer Yagna to the Devas. The Devas will gather before Brahma to seek a solution for this problem. Near the end of this yuga, the Devas will then journey to Vaikunta to seek help from Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu will then ascend to earth to fix these problems of the Kali Yuga.

Kalki Comes to Earth

Lord Vishnu comes to earth in the home of Sumati, {Prior to Kalki, Sumati gave birth to three older sons: Kavi, Praagya and Sumantra} the wife of the Brahmin Vishnuyasha. {The Padma Purana (6.242.8-12) states that Vishnuyasha is actually an incarnation of Svayambhuva Manu, who performed great austerities to have the Lord as his child. He received the benediction that the Lord will appear as his son three times. Thus Svayambhuva Manu appears as Dasaratha (father of Rama), Vasudeva (father of Krishna) and finally as Vishnuyasha, (father of Kalki). Kalki will be born on "a bright fortnight of the lunar month of Vaishakha, on the twelfth lunar tithi (Dvadashi),"{Beginning on approximately 21 April and ending on approximately 21 May on the solar calendar} and his birth & childhood will be in the mystical kingdom of Shambhala(Somewhere in Andhra Pradesh). The birth year would be 428898 AD {{Calculated as 432000 (Total age of Kalyug era) - 5110 ( present age of Kalyug ) . It comes to 426890 ( Balance age of Kalyug era ). Adding this to 2010 AD will be 428898 AD}}
After the Chiranjeevin immortals gather in Shambhala, Kalki will begin martial training under Guru Parashurama.

Life on Earth

Soon after his martial training under Guru Parashurama, Kalki will begin a long penance to Lord Shiva in the Himalayas. He will then receive the winged steed Devadatta (god-given), the celestial horse Shuka , and the divine "Ratna Maru" sword from Lord Shiva. He will then marry Padma, the avatar of Vishnu's heavenly consort Lakshmi and have two children, sons Jaya and Vijaya. Kalki will then perform the Ashwamedha Sacrifice to rid the world of all wicked kings and false prophets, before proceeding to begin the final destruction of evil and misery in the Kali Yuga.

Destruction of Evil

One of the main reasons Lord Vishnu came to earth as Kalki was to destroy and defeat evil forces on earth. He began this with the battle, and eventual massacre, of the Sunyavadis, who have misled the people, at the city of Keekatpur. (i.e. present day Kanton / Shanghai ) .A war later begins with the dark forces of Kali, including the demon generals Koka and Vikoka fighting against Kalki and the Devas. Kali will be defeated at the hands of Dharma and the personification of the Satya Yuga, the evil's polar opposite. Koka and Vikoka are then killed by Kalki. Finally, Kalki will be challenged by, and intentionally accept defeat from, Raja Shashidhwaja,{The reason for this intentional defeat was that Raja Shashidhwaja was a great devotee of Vishnu. Lord Vishnu had granted him a boon of defeating him on the battlefield} and marry the Raja's daughter, his second wife Ramaa, before the start of the Satya Yuga.

Satya Yuga

After the defeat and destruction of evil on earth, the Satya Yuga (Golden Age) begins. Kalki will divide the earth into earthly kingdoms among his generals, then perform the Ashwamedha and Rajasuya sacrifices for the Devas. Sumati and Vishnuyasha, his parents, will then travel to the holy place of Badrikashram, where they will live until their death. After the siring of Kalki's sons Meghamaal and Balahaka, Kalki will reign on earth for 1,000 years as the King of Shambhala. Having finished his mission of restoring peace, the Devas will appear before Kalki, requesting that he return to Vaikunta. After a ritual bath in the Ganges River, Kalki will reappear as Vishnu in his four-armed form, and return to Vaikunta.

Something more.

Sri Krishna Dvaipayana Vedavyasa Muni describes the holy biography and glories of Kalkideva in detail in his Kalki Purana:

sambhale vishnu yasaso
grihe pradurbhavabamyaham
sumatyam matari vibho
kanyayam tvannidesatah

caturbhir bhratribhirdeva
karishyami kali-kshayam
bhavanto bandhava devah
svamsenavatarishyatha
(Kalki Purana 2.4-5)

"Sri Hari said to the lotus-born Brahma, 'At your request, I shall take birth on the earth in the home of the brahmana, Vishnu Yasa, from the womb of his wife, Sumati. I shall destroy Kali with My four brothers. O demigods! You should also take birth on your behalf and establish friendly relations with Me for the benefit of the inhabitants of heaven.' "

Kamala Devi (Padma), the beloved of Lord Kalki, will appear from the womb of Kaumudi, the wife of Brihadratha, the king of Simhala. Kalkideva will be four-armed at first, but will later assume a two-armed form at the request of Brahma. Rama, Parasurama, Kripa, Vyasa and Asvatthama will assume the forms of mendicants (bhikshu-deha) to see Kalkideva. Lord Kalki, riding on His horse with sword in hand, will appear in the city of Bhallata with His army. There will be a great battle with the powerful glorious King Sasidhvaja, who will be a devotee of Lord Krishna. Susanta, the wife of Sasidhvaja, will also be a devotee of Lord Hari. In this terrible battle between Kalki and Sasidhvaja, a large number of infantry, cavalry and elephantry will be destroyed. After offering prayers to Kalki, when the devotee Sasidhvaja attacks Supreme Lord Kalki according to the regulations of war, Lord Kalki will faint. Pretending to have fainted, Lord Kalkideva will come with Sasidhvaja to his palace. There, He will accept the worship of Sasidhvaja and his devoted wife, Susanta. At that time, Dharma and Krita-yuga (Satya-yuga) will also arrive there. Due to the repeated and lengthy prayers of Susanta, Lord Kalki will be pleased. He will give up His swoon and stand up like a warrior. At that time, Susanta will be at His front, Krita-yuga at His left side, Dharma at His right side and the great devotee king, Sasidhvaja, at his back.

King Sasidhvaja will call his sons and according to the desire of his wife, he will surrender his daughter Rama to the lotus feet of Lord Kalkideva. Kalki Purana describes how King Sasidhvaja became a devotee.

Sasidhvaja and his wife had formerly been born as foul smelling flesh-eating eagles. A hunter had trapped them in a net and brought them to the bank of the River Ganga. There he pulverised their heads by striking them on a black stone found in the river Gandaki (which are representations of Vishnu called salagrama sila) and killed them. Since they had departed from their bodies on a holy salagrama-sila marked with a cakra on the bank of the Ganga, they assumed four-armed forms and went to Vaikuntha-dhama. After living there for one hundred yugas they came to the abode of Brahma, where they lived for five hundred yugas and then lived four hundred years in paradise. After this, they attained human births as devotees of Lord Hari.

Thank you for the precious info. I still have to get my copy of Kalki Puran.

you are welcome angel😃.Ones even i heard in a news channel that lord kalki has already born. but it could never be true. Lord kalki will born at the end of kali yuga and we are so much year behind the end of kali yuga, remember the age of kali yuga is 432000 and only 5100 years has been passed of kali yuga. he will born when no yagna will be performed, no sattpurusha will be left, no one will worship god but we have not reached to that era. still there are many many people who are aashtik and belives in god, still there are so many yagna performed all over the world.
