Kalki : The Future Liberator


Vishnu's most dramatic incarnation is yet to come. At the end of the Kali yuga, the cycle of darkness in which the world is presently languishing, Vishnu will incarnate in the form of Kalki the liberator. He will be military commander who will " liberate"the world from evil and inaugurate a new cycle of truthfulness, justice, and universal goodness.


It is difficult to say where the legend of the Kalki avatar originated. It seems to be an extremely ancient myth, shared by the Persians, the Jews, the Christians, the Tibetans, and many Central Asians. Even the Native Americans had their version named Kukulan!
