Question

HINDUISM:doubts-kalki--kaliyug-please clarify?

Answer 1

I would endorse the views of straight. The beings have reduced themselves from the pure spirits of the paradise called earth of the Sati Yuga to simple earthly matter containing the lowest of the five gross elements. They have embrased that Earth element. Energizing those spirit to purification can now only be done through vibrations, or Japa yoga or chanting in praise of the source. In fact, the chances of redemption are very less but sustaining life and continuing life is possible through the instrument of Love which is basis for Bhakthi Yoga which Shri Krishna taught us and later Jesus Christ. Dwapara Yuga did have chances of liberation through Karma Yoga and thus Bhagwat Geetha. All religions are symbols of Bhakthi yoga and all temples and churches and mosques are replica of the human body. The human soul have moved so far away from the cosmic soul so much so that a return is almost impossible in Kali yuga except through Mercy of the source. And the only conduit between the Source and the Self is through Sound vibrations which is chanting in praise or glory of the source. Bhakthi is ruled by emotions and heart. The ruling chakra is Anahata Chakra. Seat of Air and therefore, the media for sound.

Answer 2

The Kalki Avatar is supposed to be the most powerful among all the Dasavathars. What makes it more intriguing is that incarnation has not yet taken place, a fact that adds to its enigma ! what do you want to ask here is difficult to understand. you say when will be arrival of kalki, then you say Balaji is the kaliyug deivam, and further say in every yug vishnu enters a avatar, then what is the kaliyug avatar.



i feel you are confused between Deivam and Avatar. First i will explain about kalki avatar.



The earliest reference to the Kalki Avatar is found in the India's great epic, the Mahabharat. Rishi Markandeya tells Yudhishtir, the seniormost Pandava, that Kalki will be born to Brahmin parents. He would excel in academics, sports and warfare, and thus become a very intelligent and powerful young man.



His arrival is stipulated at a time when the earth is engulfed in crisis because of a tyrannical and powerful ruler. Kalki Bhagwan is said to be mounted on a strikingly beautiful White Horse, and is most often picturised in the foreground of a dark sky. This symbolises his coming at a time when darkness (evil) is the order of the day, and he is the saviour to rid the world of its sufferings. This is similar to the Parashuram avatar, where Lord Vishnu killed the atrocious Kshatriya rulers.



It should be noted that the common thread among all of Lord Vishnu's Avatars is that he always arrives when his devotees/people have been suffering at the hands of an evil/vain ruler. A legend that gives credence to this fact is that once, Lord Vishnu's Dwarpal's (watchmen), Jai and Vijay, insulted a group of sages who had come to pay the Lord a visit. The sages cursed them to be reborn as tyrannical Asura kings on earth, and get Moksha (salvation) only when they are killed at the hands of Lord Vishnu. Thus, whenever Jai and Vijay are reborn as kings, they create such a unbearable state of anarchy that Lord Vishnu takes the form of a saviour and frees them from their earthly bond.



The Kalki Avatar is the most eagerly awaited one, more so because it will signify the cleansing of the world from all its sorrows that have been accumulated for many millennia. He is to arrive at the end of Kalyug, the dark age, and will mark the beginning of the Sat Yug. According to calculations, there are still many years left for that to happen (The Kalyug extends for a period of 432000 years, and it has just started). When we have such advanced military technology today, it will be interesting to see (though we may not, unless we do not manage to attain salvation by then, and are still caught in the rebirth cycle) what kind of weapons Kalki Avatar utilises.



Krishna told that he will take avatar to establish Dharma. Accordingly, kalki will come as Manushya Roopa. He will come as a man.



your doubt: when Balaji, sri venkatesa known as kaliyug deivam, and what is the need of an avatar is your doubt. right ?



Deivam differs from Avatars. Avatars are having some purposes and taking births to establish dharma and whereas the Deivams is always there in all yugas. Deivam is not in kaliyuga alone. Deivam is there from the birth of yugas.



Next, the Deivam Balaji was given additional title as '' kaliyuga deivam '' by some religious people to show their affection on God Balaji. Balajis is a Deivam only and not Kaliyuga Deivam. Balaji is a great Vishnu, Deivam in Kaliyuga and blessing the devotees. God Karthikeya also titled as Kaliyuga Deivam. All Deivams we are worshipping are Kaliyuga Deivam only. All Deivams/Gods in this Kaliyuga are Kaliyuga Deivam only.



hope this will help you.

Answer 4

Kali Yuga (Devanāgarī: कलियुग [kəli juɡə], lit. "age of (the male demon) Kali", or "age of vice") is the last of the four stages that the world goes through as part of the cycle of yugas described in the Indian scriptures. The other ages are Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga and Dvapara Yuga. According to the Surya Siddhanta, an astronomical treatise that forms the basis of all Hindu and Buddhist calendars, Kali Yuga began at midnight (00:00) on 18 February 3102 BCE [1] in the proleptic Julian calendar, or 23 January 3102 BC in the proleptic Gregorian calendar. This date is also considered by many Hindus to be the day that Krishna left earth to return to his abode. Most interpreters of Hindu scriptures believe that earth is currently in Kali Yuga. Some, such as Swami Sri Yukteswar,[2] and Paramhansa Yogananda[3] believe that it is now near the beginning of Dvapara Yuga. The Kali Yuga is traditionally thought to last 432,000 years.



Hindus believe that human civilization degenerates spiritually during the Kali Yuga,[4] which is referred to as the Dark Age because in it people are as far removed as possible from God. Hinduism often symbolically represents morality (dharma) as a bull. In Satya Yuga, the first stage of development, the bull has four legs, but in each age morality is reduced by one quarter. By the age of Kali, morality is reduced to only a quarter of that of the golden age, so that the bull of Dharma has only one leg.[5][6]



Kali Yuga is associated with the apocalyptic demon Kali, not to be confused with the goddess Kālī (read as Kaalee) (these are unrelated words in the Sanskrit language). The "Kali" of Kali Yuga means "strife, discord, quarrel, or contention."

Answer 6

he duration of the material universe is limited. It is manifested in cycles of kalpas. A kalpa is a day of Brahma, and one day of Brahma consists of a thousand cycles of four yugas, or ages: Satya, Treta, Dvapara and Kali. The cycle of Satya is characterized by virtue, wisdom and religion, there being practically no ignorance and vice, and the yuga lasts 1,728,000 years. In the Treta-yuga vice is introduced, and this yuga lasts 1,296,000 years. In the Dvapara-yuga there is an even greater decline in virtue and religion, vice increasing, and this yuga lasts 864,000 years. And finally in Kali-yuga (the yuga we have now been experiencing over the past 5,000 years) there is an abundance of strife, ignorance, irreligion and vice, true virtue being practically nonexistent, and this yuga lasts 432,000 years. In Kali-yuga vice increases to such a point that at the termination of the yuga the Supreme Lord Himself appears as the Kalki avatara, vanquishes the demons, saves His devotees, and commences another Satya-yuga. Then the process is set rolling again. These four yugas, rotating a thousand times, comprise one day of Brahma, and the same number comprise one night.

Thereafter, at the conjunction of two yugas, the Lord of the creation will take His birth as the Kalki incarnation and become the son of Visnu Yasa. At this time the rulers of the earth will have degenerated into plunderers.



PURPORT



Here is another foretelling of the advent of Lord Kalki, the incarnation of Godhead. He is to appear at the conjunction of the two yugas, namely at the end of Kali-yuga and the beginning of Satya-yuga. The cycle of the four yugas, namely Satya, Treta, Dvapara and Kali, rotates like the calendar months. The present Kali-yuga lasts 432,000 years, out of which we have passed only 5,000 years after the Battle of Kuruksetra and the end of the regime of King Pariksit. So there are 427,000 years balance yet to be finished. Therefore at the end of this period, the incarnation of Kalki will take place, as foretold in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. The name of His father, Visnu Yasa, a learned brahmana, and the village Sambhala are also mentioned. As above mentioned, all these foretellings will prove to be factual in chronological order. That is the authority of Srimad-Bhagavatam.

Answer 7

Gigantic figure : 29,000 years left.. Everything is in large numbers in Hinduism so you need to decide yourself whether the figure calculated by astrologers are right or wrong as corruption and mis-deeds and wrong doings were common in Satayuga also.

Answer 8

This avatar is expected shortly as the people involve in large scale corruption and keep the righteous away and evil thoughts creep in almost every one s mind.One could easily understand the way in each country is struggling .Poverty,natural disaster,civil war,disease and rivalry etc are symptoms.

Answer 9

Just before the beginning of the current age in which we are living (known in the East as the Kali or Iron age), Markandeya rishi recorded a conversation he had with Lord Vishnu (the embodiment of the preserver aspect of the trinity).

In a passage in the Mahabharata text, it is recorded that Shri krishna spoke of a time during the darkest period of the Kali Age when human values would deteriorate, violence and injustice would be widespread, falsehood would triumph over truth, oppression and crime would be prevalent. Lord Vishnu told how he would take a human birth in order to intervene and set the world on a new course. Here is the text of that statement.



When evil is rampant upon this earth, I will take birth in the family of a virtuous man, and assume a human body to restore tranquility by the extermination of all evils. For the preservation of rectitude and morality, I will assume an inconceivable human form when the season for action comes. In the Kali Age of sin I will assume an Avatar form that is dark in color. I will be born in a family in south India. This Avatar will possess great energy, great intelligence and great powers. Material objects needed for this Avatar's mission will be at his disposal as soon as He will think of them. He will be victorious with the strength of virtue. He will restore order and peace in the world. This Avatar will inaugurate a new era of truth, and will be surrounded by spiritual people. He will roam over the earth adored by the spiritual people.



The age of Kali-yuga is said to start from the year 3102 BC, after the disappearance of Lord Krishna. Lord Caitanya appeared 500 years ago, at which time the Golden Age within Kali-yuga is supposed to start and last another 10,000 years. As the Golden Age within of Kali-yuga comes to a close, the lower modes of material nature will become so strong that people will lose interest in spiritual topics. It is said that everyone will become godless. Whatever devotees, bhaktas, and sages are left on the planet will be so unique in character and peculiar compared with the rest of society that they will be ridiculed and hunted down in the cities for sport like animals. Thus, they will flee the cities to live underground in caves or high up in the mountains, or simply disengage from the earthly plane of existence. In this way, they will disappear from the face of the earth. That is the time when the dark influence of the age of Kali-yuga will become so dominant that its full influence will manifest without hindrance.



Finally, after 432,000 years from the beginning of the age of Kali, Lord Kalki will appear as the twenty-second incarnation of God.



The people of the earth will imitate this Avatar's conduct, and there will be prosperity and peace. Men will once more betake themselves to the practice of religious rites. Educational centers for the cultivation of Brahmic lore, and temples, will reappear again everywhere. Ashrams will be filled with men of truth. Rulers of the earth will govern their kingdoms virtuously. The Avatar will have an illustrious reputation.

Answer 10

Subhabhivandanam !

According to the Vedas and Scriptures, there are mainly six kinds of incarnations of Lord Narayana.But in all, there are innumerable number of other avatars taken depending on need. This is also confirmed in Srimad-Bhagavatam (1.3.26) where it is said that there is no limit to the incarnations of the Supreme Lord, just as there is no limit to the waves of the ocean. Also, depending on the roles they play, some avatars can be overlapping to more than one kind...

These are six kinds of avatars:

1.Purusha-avatara --Karanodakasayi Vishnu, Garbhodakasayi Vishnu and Ksirodakasayi Vishnu

2. Lila-avatara ---Matsya, Varaha, Kurma, Narasimha, Vamana, Parasurama, Rama, Krishna, Bala-Rama, Kalki.

3.Guna-avatara-- Brahma (Rajas), Vishnu (Satvic) and Siva (Tamas).

4.Manvantara-avatara :there are innumerable manvantara avataras (504,000 Manus manifest in the life time of one Brahma): Main 14 also called as vaibhava-avatars: Yajna, Vibhu, Satyasena, Hari, Vaikuntha, Ajita, Vamana, Sarvabhauma, Rsabha, Visvaksena, Dharmasetu, Sudhama, Yogesvara and Brhadbhanu.

5 .Kalpa-avatara-- Kumaras, Narada, Varaha, Matsya, Yajna, Nara-narayana, Kardami Kapila, Dattatreya, Hayasirsa, Hamsa, Dhruvapriya, Rsabha, Prthu, Narasimha, Kurma, Dhanvantari, Mohini,Vamana, Parasurama, Raghavendra, Vyasa, Balarama, Krishna, Buddha and Kalki. (All these 25 avatars happen every one day of Brahma!)

6.Saktyavesa-avatara --Kapila, Rsabha, Ananta, Brahma, Catuhsana, Narada, Prthu, Parasurama, Buddha..



Nowhere in the scriptures Lord Venkateshwara is mentioned as lila or kalpavatara.Lord Venkateswara is also known as Kali yuga Pratyaksha Daivam.Lord Venkateshwara is not an avatar of Vishnu but Vishnu himself...he descended from vaikunta (I think you know all the reasons )



The last avatara among the Dasavatara is Lord Sri Kalki. It is also written that the twenty-fifth kalpa (in Bhagavata Purana) and final lila-avatara is Lord Kalki.



yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata

abhyutthanam adharmasya tadatmanam srijamy aham



paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca dushkritam

dharma-samsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge

(Bhagavad-gita 4.7-8)



“Whenever there is a decline of dharma (righteousness) and a prevalence of adharma (unrighteousness), the Supreme Lord appears, millennium after millennium, to deliver the pious and annihilate the dishonest, as well as to re-establish dharma.”



In Kali-yuga, when there is a terrible and extensive rise of irreligion leading to an ever-increasing defilement of society, the demigods will take shelter of Lord Vishnu. Understanding the desires of the demigods, the Lord will perform the pastime of appearing in the previously described village of Sambhala and will accept Vishnu Yasa and his wife Sumati as His parents. He will appear on the 12th day of the waxing moon in the month of Vaisakha (April-May). Reaching adulthood, He will annihilate all the mlecchas of the dwelling place of Buddhists, as well as Kuthodevi, the wife of the Rakshasas of Kalkanja, and all other mlecchas. He will even destroy Kali and re-establish dharma.



It has also been said that Lord Kalki will obtain the Vedic knowledge from Parasurama and the military science from Lord Siva. The horse on which He will ride while destroying the wicked will be white in colour.
