Kalki Avatar: The Future Incarnation

In Hindu eschatology, Kalki is the final incarnation of Vishnu, foretold to appear at the end of Kali Yuga, the current epoch. He is described as a warrior riding a white horse, wielding a blazing sword, and ushering in a new era of righteousness (Satya Yuga).

• Appearance and Attributes: He is typically depicted as a young man of extraordinary strength and intellect. The White Horse he rides symbolizes purity and power. His Blazing Sword represents the destruction of evil and ignorance.

• Purpose: Kalki's primary purpose is to restore Dharma (righteousness) to the world. He will defeat the wicked, punish the unrighteous, and establish a kingdom of peace and justice. The coming of Kalki signals the end of Kali Yuga's decay and the beginning of a new cycle of creation.

• Birth and Lineage: According to scriptures, Kalki will be born in the village of Shambhala to a Brahmin family. His father's name is often given as Vishnuyasha and his mother's Sumati.

• Scriptural References: Kalki's arrival is prophesied in various Hindu scriptures, including the Vishnu Purana, the Agni Purana, and the Bhagavata Purana.

• Timing: The exact timing of Kalki's appearance is debated, but it is generally believed to be a very distant future event, occurring after the culmination of the Kali Yuga.
