In Vedanta and Hinduism, Kalki is the 10th avatar or reincarnation of Krishna or Vishnu, foretold to appear in kaliyug, the time of Kali, the mother. Vishnu purna describe Kalki on a white horse of knowledge, with a blazing sword or a tool of power. After Kalki, satya yuga, or the time of enlightenment begins where consciousness will be evenly distributed, based on Karma. Both devils and saints will be revealed. In Buddhist kalachakra, or the black wheel, Shambhala, the hidden city beneath India and Pakistan Himalaya, describes as the birthplace of Kalki, as the reincarnations are related to location and race, by previous karma. In the Shukla Paksha, one day is dedicated to each deity, one belongs to Kalki or Madhava. The name Kalki refers to eternity and time. In Sanskrit, the word kalka refers to foul or filth, hence Kalki is the destroyer of darkness and ignorance, with the mother kali beside him. Another etymology refers to the white horse, since the chakras when all opened, produce a white aura around kalki. Avatars means descent of the Divine God, in human form and the material world. Kalki is the white horse with wings, known as Devadatta, or God given. The world he will create is Satya yuga, also known as Krita yuga, will be called Panchoratha yuga. The world of enlightenment, and from there begins the next four yug. The Kalki Purana describes many predictions: Srimad Bhagavatha Mahapurana – 12:2:18: The Chief Holy Brahmin (Priest) of the Village - 'Shambhala'. In the future at the home of the aforementioned - Vishnuyasha, 'Destroyer of Evil' will arise/be born. (Born from mud) 12th of the first part of the moon cycle in the month of Chaitra (March/April, Hindu new year) Lord Krishna (as Kalki) arrived, then the father was overwhelmed by the son being born. Kalachakra Tantra (taught by Buddha): Lord Kalki will appear in the home of the most eminent brahmana of Shambhala village, the great soul Vishnuyasha and his wife, the pure of thought Sumati. Followers of Tibetan Buddhism have preserved the Kalachakra Tantra in which "Kalkin" is a title of 25 rulers in the mystical realm of Shambhala. This tantra mirrors a number of prophecies of the Puranas. Agni Purana: The Agni Purana predicts that at the time of his birth, evil kings will feed on the pious. Kalki will be born son of Vishnuyasha in the mythic Shambhala. He will have Yajnavalkya as his spiritual guru. Parashurama, the sixth avatar of Vishnu is a Chiranjivi (immortal) and in scripture is believed to be alive, waiting for the return of Kalki. He will be a martial preceptor of Kalki, teaching him military science, warfare arts and instructing him in the performance of a severe penance in order to receive celestial weaponry. The purana also relates that Hari, will then give up the form of Kalki, return to heaven and the Krita or Satya Yuga will return as before. Vishnu Purana: When the practices taught in the Vedas and institutes of law have nearly ceased, and the close of the Kali age shall be nigh, a portion of that divine being who exists of His own spiritual nature, and who is the beginning and end, and who comprehends all things, shall descend upon earth. He will be born in the family of Vishnuyasha, an eminent brahmana of Shambhala village, as Kalki, endowed with eight superhuman faculties, when the eight suns (represented by 8 solar deities or Vasu who lord over Dhanishta Nakshatra) will together shine over the sky. By His irresistible might he will destroy all the mlecchas (Barbarians) and thieves, and all whose minds are devoted to iniquity. He will reestablish righteousness upon earth, and the minds of those who live at the end of the Kali age shall be awakened, and shall be as clear as crystal. The men who are thus changed by virtue of that peculiar time shall be as the seeds of human beings, and shall give birth to a race who will follow the laws of the Krita age or Satya Yuga, the age of purity. As it is said, 'When the sun and moon, and the lunar asterism Tishya, and the planet Jupiter, are in one mansion, the Krita age shall return. Padma Purana: The Padma Purana describes that Kalki will end the age of Kali and kill all mlecchas. He will gather all brahmanas and propound the highest truth, bringing back the ways of dharma that have been lost, and removing the prolonged hunger of the Brahmin. Kalki will defy oppression and be a banner of victory for the world. Bhagavata Purana: At the end of Kali Yuga, when there exist no topics on the subject of God, even at the residences of so-called saints and respectable gentlemen, and when the power of government is transferred to the hands of ministers elected from the evil men, and when nothing is known of the techniques of sacrifice, even by word, at that time the Lord will appear as the supreme chastiser. The ascetic prince, Lord Kalki, the Lord of the Universe, will mount His swift white horse Devadatta and, sword in hand, travel over the earth exhibiting His eight mystic opulences and eight special qualities of Godhead. Displaying His unequaled effulgence and riding with great speed, He will kill the millions of those thieves who have dared dress as kings. Kalki Purana: The Kalki Purana combines elements of earlier scriptures to describe Kalki. He will have the power to change the course of the stream of time and restore the path of the righteous. The evil demon Kali will spring from the back of Brahma and descend to earth and cause dharma to be forgotten and society to decay. When man stops offering yagna, Vishnu will then descend a final time to save the steadfast. He will be reborn as Kalki to a Brahmin family in the city of Shambhala. Padma: Padma will be the consort of the avatar, as written in the Kalki Purana. The beloved of Kalki who is incarnation of Lakshmi lives at an Island, or by the water. Dwipa Simha, the Island of the Lion. Astrology: Kalki can only be the one whose Birthday/Tithi falls on Dvadasi of Sukla Paksha. This amounts to just 12 days per any given year furthermore as it can only be the day of the Lord Sri Maha Vishnu (Chaitra Dwadashi) this amounts to just one day each year or 100 days in the last century. South Indian astrologers have analyzed Puranas extensively to try and foretell the time of birth of Kalki. The signs described in the Kalki Purana are as follows: The moon will be in Dhanishta nakshatra, Aquarius, suggesting he will be wealthy, acclaimed and swift in action and thought. The sun will be in Swati, the nakshatra of the sword. Jupiter will be in Purva Ashadha nakshatra, Sagittarius. The Ascendant Lord will be in Purva Ashadha nakshatra, also Sagittarius, suggesting invincibility and early victory. Saturn will be exalted in Libra, predicting a balance between justice and the sword. Ketu, lord of horse-headed Ashwini, will be exalted in Scorpio, suggesting he will descend atop a great white steed. The Puranas describe the date as twenty-one fortnights from the birth of Krishna, which itself falls on Janmashtami in August. This would put his descent at Vaishakha, between April and May. At this time, the father of Kalki is foretold to be overwhelmed by the incarnation of Godhead that he sees as his son. This places Kalki under the sun sign of Aries or Taurus. Bhavishya Purana: The Savior of the entire universe, Maha Vishnu will be born on Margashirsha Month, Krishna Ashtami, 8th day after the full-moon day. Islam: By some members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Kalki Avatar is believed to be the Islamic Prophet Muhammad; some of the Muslim scholars and a few of the Hindu scholars also argued that kalki is mentioned indicating Muhammad in some Hindu scriptures. Jesus is also an incarnation of Vishnu.
