In Hinduism traditions, Kalki (also rendered by some as Kalkin and Kalaki) is the name of the tenth and final ''Maha Avatara'' (Great Avatar) of Vishnu the Preserver, who will come to end the current Kali Yuga, ''(The Age of Darkness and Destruction)''. The name Kalki is often a metaphor for "Eternity" or "Time". The origins of the name probably lie in the word ''Kalka'' which refers to "dirt", "filth" or "foulness" and hence denotes the "Destroyer of Foulness", "Destroyer of Confusion", "Destroyer of Darkness", or "The Annihilator of Ignorance". In Hindi ''kal ki avatar'' means "tomorrow's avatar". Other similar and divergent interpretations (based on varying etymological derivations from the ancient Sanskrit language, —including one simply meaning "White Horse") have been made. ==What is a Maha Avatara?== Hindu traditions permit numerous interpretations of what Avatars are and to what purpose they act. Avatara means descent, and indicates a descent of the divine awareness into manifestations of the mundane form. Prominent social and philosophical leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, and Ramakrishna are considered avatars by many, but in most Hindu traditions there are only 10 Maha Avataras (Great Avatars), though the identities of the most recent are sometimes disputed, and some sources list as many as 22 or 23. All Hindu traditions declare all people to be manifestations of the divine essence, the Atman, and Avatars to be individuals who are far more acutely and extensively aware of this fact and its implications than most, and who have entered the mortal realms voluntarily to teach important truths to humanity, and who usually have extraordinary abilities to aid in these roles. ==What will Kalki do?== As with the Messiah prophecy of many traditions there are many diverse beliefs and depictions as to when, how, where and why the Kalki Avatar would appear, and the Divine purpose the descent will aim to fulfill. The popular image of the Avatar is that of a rider upon a white horse, which some sources name as Devadatta (God-given) and describe as a winged horse; but some have even declared that Kalki would come ''in the form'' of a white horse, while a few others even claim that he would appear as a horse-headed person. The most common accounts declare Kalki will come riding upon a white horse, brandishing a flaming comet-like sword, (or wielding a comet like a sword), intent on eradicating the reign of evil on the Earth, vanquishing Yama (Death), reconciling all opposites, renewing the processes of the Dharma (Paths of Virtue), of Creation (theology), and establishing a reign of righteousness. The sword is sometimes interpreted as a symbol for "discernment", or Wisdom, slicing away the bonds of lies and foulness and liberating souls to greater awareness of truth and beauty. ==When will Kalki come?== The previous article placed here was incorrect. ==Origins of the Kalki Prophecy== One of the earliest mentions of Kalki is in the Vishnu Purana. Vishnu is the Preserver, the sustainer of life in the Hindu trinity, balancing the processes of Creation (theology) and Destruction. Kalki is also mentioned in another of the 18 major Purana, the Agni Purana. Agni is the god of Fire in the Hindu pantheon, and symbolically represents the spiritual fire of life and the processes of transformation. It is one of the earliest works declaring Gautama Buddha to have been a manifestation of Vishnu, and seems to draw upon the Vishnu Purana in its mention of Kalki. A later work, the Kalki Purana, a ''minor'' Purana is an extensive exposition of expectations and predictions of when, where, and why it is said he will come, and what he is expected to do. It has a very militant perspective, and celebrates the defeat of traditions that are deemed heretical for not adhering closely enough to the traditions of the Vedas, such as Buddhism and Jainism. A few other minor Purana also mention him. It has been theorized that the ''Kalki Purana'' may have been written as a Hindu response to the Buddhist prophecies within the ''Kalachakra Tantra'' of ''many'' leaders with the name or title of Kalki. Followers of Tibetan Buddhism have preserved the ''Kalachakra Tantra'', and initiation rites based upon it are a prominent part of the Tibetan traditions. In the ''Kalachakra Tantra'' Kalki (or Kalaki, or Kulika) is declared to be a title or name of at least 25 future rulers of the mystical realm of Shambala. The aims and actions of some of these are prophesied in portions of the work and some identify the 25th Kalki as the Maitreya Buddha who brings about world-wide enlightenment. ==The Kalki within== Drawing on symbolic and metaphoric interpretations of the Buddhist ''Kalachakra'', Shambala, and Bodhisattva traditions at least as much as the Hindu prophecies, interpretations of the Kalki legends in ways that do not necessarily apply the designation "Kalki" uniquely to any particular person have arisen. In such interpretations "Kalki" is seen primarily as an archetypal symbol of what can be manifest in any person, whether man, woman, or child. It is a designation of spiritual repose and vigor, a "beautiful life essence", impelling people to follow diverse and harmonious paths of virtue, rather than needlessly harsh and destructive paths of bigotry and narrow minded presumptions. To those who embrace this view the term Kalki can refer to an attitude or quality of awareness that will be manifest in many enlightened people, who perceive beyond Maya_(illusion) (the appearances of Space and Time) and into Eternity in ways that are ''both'' rational and mystical in nature. A level of Awareness where people become destroyers of the uncharitable ways of bigotry ''within themselves'' which would otherwise lead them to unjustly oppress others, and limit themselves. In such interpretations ''everyone'' who is enlightened enough to follow the ways of ultimate honesty and ultimate love can be declared to be an honorable manifestation of Vishnu the preserver of Life, and Kalki the Destroyer of Foulness … but no one person ''can'' be declared to be ''the ultimate'' manifestation…or the ultimate teacher for all people. There are many ways to point out some of the worst confusions that afflict human minds and souls, and for anyone to think that there is only one greatest and most perfect way for all, (which is of course their own), and that all others must be scorned, shunned, denigrated and vilified is itself one of the worst and most dangerous confusions that afflict many who are spiritually weak, ignorant, cowardly and vain. It is emphasized that much is required in many spiritual paths, but the most important of all requirements are the will to speak the truth, and the capacity to love anyone who perceive the truth and become devoted to it, no matter how troublesome, misguided, dishonest and dangerous they may initially be. One can not force change upon others, but one can give them the information and opportunity by which they can come to desire beneficial change themselves. Each person who is wisely charitable, "riding the white horses" of fate's flow, and wielding the deceit destroying "sword" of honesty can become a "Kalki" — a destroyer of such foulness as could dwell ''within themselves'' first and foremost, that they may more ably ''assist others'' in destroying the capacities for evil ''within themselves''. Each person is considered a ''potential'' spiritual ruler of their own manifest span of mortal life, a universe to themselves connected to all others by bonds of awareness and sympathy; a person of utmost integrity, perceiving many connections between all people, all events, all ideas and all souls, and therefore affirming that respect for the individual integrity of all other mortals as an imperative of their own. The Kali Yuga can end within them, no matter how long it may persist in others, and a Satya Yuga of wisdom begins within their life, enabling them to help others to find their own unique paths towards enlightenment, and into their own ranges of contentment. ==Modern variations of the Kalki Prophecy== ===Theosophy, Christianity=== Some Theosophy and New Age speculators have declared the Kalki prophecies and those of the Maitreya Buddha of Buddhism, might actually refer to one and the same individual, and they and others have noted similarities of the Kalki prophecy to the Rider on the White Horse in the Christianity book of ''Revelation'' who has been interpreted as a herald of the Second Coming of Christ, or by some (who seem to take the passage out of its larger context), to be Jesus himself. In such interpretations the sword of Kalki is equated to the two-edged sword that proceeds from the mouth of this apocalyptic figure, and is often symbolically interpreted to be the swordlike effectiveness of words of truth against all manner of lies and deceptions. ===Nazism=== Extending upon the bleakness of the ''Kalki Purana'' aggressive and violent interpretations of the Kalki prophecies also exist. Adolf Hitler is well known to have incorporated myths, legends, and symbols he felt have "Aryan" origins into his own Nazi mysticism. Some such as Savitri Devi Mukherji believe the Kalki prophecies, among others, referred to Hitler and predict the ultimate worldwide military triumph of his Nazi "Third Reich". There is currently a Neo-Nazi group in Argentina that operates under the name "Red Kalki", and other fascist, racist and ethnocentric groups still incorporate the concept of Kalki into their mythos. One musical group Current 93 has recorded a song ''Hitler as Kalki'' (which the writer David Tibet dedicated to his father who fought against the Nazis). ===Gandhi=== Another interpretation suggest that the Kalki Avatar was to appear in India around the time of the Second World War, leading India, then ripe for war against the British, as an Axis power, tilting the outcome of the war, and bringing the Thousand Year Reich. The suggestion is that Gandhi was an alternative manifestation of the Kalki Avatar, a divine mercy. ===Gore Vidal=== The author Gore Vidal, known for his dark witty cynicism in such works as ''Messiah'', ''Live from Golgotha'' and other novels, wrote an extremely nightmarish and depressing satire on modern society, human motivations, and the potential consequences of extreme complacency, indifference, delusion, deceitfulness, and jealousy entitled ''Kalki'' (1978). It depicted Kalki as a deranged American veteran of the Vietnam War intent on destroying most of humanity and who succeeds all too thoroughly in that dreadful goal. Vidal was prompted to this particular endeavor as a response to a friend who mentioned the Kalki prophecies, saying that he was not worried too greatly about all the ills of society, because he had a firm faith and confidence that Kalki was already here, and would bring about a great transformation that would sweep most of them away. The sweeping away that Vidal's Kalki does is far more total than even most of the deeply depraved could ever wish. Vidal does much more than you say here and all in a fun read that especially captures the sense of the '70s. Kalki is less deranged than you say and he has a following--key to what Vidal is speaking to. Have another read of it and check your literalness at the door. ===Claims of being Kalki=== In the last few decades several leaders of relatively small religious movements in India, and a few outside of it, including some women, have at times claimed to be the Kalki Avatar of Hinduism, or their followers have declared them to be Kalki. Some Muslim writers have asserted that Muhammad fulfilled many predictions of some of the Kalki prophecies, in their interpretations. Others have noted some similarities in the prophecies to those of the Islamic figure of the Mahdi, which over the centuries several notable Muslim religious or political leaders have claimed to be. Some adherents of the Bahá'í Faith have interpreted the prophecies as having referred to their prophet Bahá'u'lláh. All of the above interpretations and more can be found at various places on the Internet, including various sites of quite a number of claimants to be "the one and only" Kalki Avatar, ranging from some that are perhaps sublime to many that are amusingly ridiculous, including at least one man who claims to be from another planet. It has been jokingly asserted that there are hundreds of people in India claiming to be the Kalki Avatar of ultimate might and righteousness — most of them from jail cells. Whatever the proper assessments of any of these interpretations, good, bad or mixed, will ultimately be perhaps only time or Eternity will tell. ==External links== ===Interpretations of the Kalki Avatar=== * [http://www.dakotacom.net/~jforster/KalkiAvatar.htm Kalki Avatar, the Coming Prophet (Essay by Swami Amar Jyoti)] * [http://webonautics.com/mythology/avataar_kalki.html Kalki in Indian Mythology ''1] [http://webonautics.com/mythology/avataar_kalki2.html 2]'' * [http://www.adishakti.org/prophecies/prophecy_21.htm Various views on Kalki] * [http://www.berzinarchives.com/kalachakra/religious_conversion_shambhala.html Religious Policies of the 25 Kalki rulers] * [http://www.indiaprofile.com/monuments-temples/kalkitemple.htm Kalki Temple in Jaipur] * [http://mailerindia.com/god/hindu/index.php?vish12 Buddha & Kalki] * [http://theosophy.org/tlodocs/KalkiMaitreya.htm A Theosophical Interpretation: "Kalki Maitreya"] * [http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/etgloss/ka.htm Theosophical Glossary] * [http://www.indiayogi.com/content/indgods/kalki.asp Kalki, The Last Avatar] * [http://ww-iii.tripod.com/hindu.htm Hindu Prophecies: Translations from the Kalki Purana] * [http://www.islamic-paths.org/Home/English/Issues/Religion/Other/Kalki_Autar.htm An assertion that Muhammad was Kalki] * [http://www.swordoftruth.com/cgi-bin/forum.pl?action=display&num=2229 A Hindu rebuttal of the idea that Muhammad was Kalki] * [http://ismaili.net/Source/nikakalki.html Comments on the Kalki Purana] * [http://ismaili.net/Source/0784dkh.html Messianic Themes in traditions of Northwest India] * [http://kalachakranet.org/kalachakra_tantra_history.html The History of the Kalachakra Tantra] * [http://berzinarchives.com/kalachakra/index.html The Archives of Alexander Berzin - Kalachakra Section] * [http://sourceryforge.org/wiki.phtml?title=The_Four_Horsemen_Theory Averted apocalypse: Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Gandhi/Kalki] ===Artistic Imagery=== * [http://www.dharmakshetra.com/avatars/kalki.html A depiction of Kalki as a fierce Rider] *[http://www.greatdreams.com/rider.jpg An Apocalyptic Rider on a White Horse] *[http://maxmagnusnorman.com/english/about_kalki.shtml Artist Max Magnus Depicting Kalki ''as'' a fierce white horse] ==Other meanings of ''Kalki'' == *The name ''Kalki'' is also used as a relatively rare personal name that has been given to both male and female children, and recently, a rare and somewhat untamable leopard [http://www.cattales.org/kalki.html]. *''Kalki'' was the primary pseudonym used by Tamil language writer ''Kalki Krishnamurthy''. *Playa Kalki is a beach on the Caribbean island of Curaçao, also curiously known as \"Alice in Wonderland\". * Kalki is the name of the female lead character played by Tulip Joshi in Indian Director Manish Jha's widely acclaimed motion picture ''Matrubhoomi'', about a society where women have become rare because of infanticide, and are treated as a commodity.

==Massive re-wording needed== The "When will Kalki come?" section feels like it's been taken word-for-word out of an ISKCON (Hare Krishna) text on the subject. I suspect that it might be plagiarized.

Also, what is with that stuff at the end about Kalki already being alive today?

Ordinary folk as a result now actually LIVE and experience the distilled essence of the Vedas - 'Tat Twam Asi' or 'I am That'. As more people are being enlightened everyday, a critical mass will be reached by 2012, when in one single tsunami-like wave all of humanity will experience Enlightenment as their reality. Whatever stories you may hear about the Puranas or sacred books about what Kalki should do, where he should be born etc, Sri Bhagavan here will retain the label 'Kalki', since he is capable of transmitting permanent and irreversible Enlightenment to Man.

Kalki
In Hinduism traditions, Kalki (also rendered by some as Kalkin and Kalaki) is the name of the tenth and final ''Maha Avatara'' (Great Avatar) of Vishnu the Preserver, who will come to end the current Kali Yuga, ''(The Age of Darkness and Destruction)''. The name Kalki is often a metaphor for "Eternity" or "Time". The origins of the name probably lie in the word ''Kalka'' which refers to "dirt", "filth" or "foulness" and hence denotes the "Destroyer of Foulness", "Destroyer of Confusion", "Destroyer of Darkness", or "The Annihilator of Ignorance". In Hindi ''kal ki avatar'' means "tomorrow's avatar". Other similar and divergent interpretations (based on varying etymological derivations from the ancient Sanskrit language, —including one simply meaning "White Horse") have been made. ==What is a Maha Avatara?== Hindu traditions permit numerous interpretations of what Avatars are and to what purpose they act. Avatara means descent, and indicates a descent of the divine awareness into manifestations of the mundane form. Prominent social and philosophical leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, and Ramakrishna are considered avatars by many, but in most Hindu traditions there are only 10 Maha Avataras (Great Avatars), though the identities of the most recent are sometimes disputed, and some sources list as many as 22 or 23. All Hindu traditions declare all people to be manifestations of the divine essence, the Atman, and Avatars to be individuals who are far more acutely and extensively aware of this fact and its implications than most, and who have entered the mortal realms voluntarily to teach important truths to humanity, and who usually have extraordinary abilities to aid in these roles. ==What will Kalki do?== As with the Messiah prophecy of many traditions there are many diverse beliefs and depictions as to when, how, where and why the Kalki Avatar would appear, and the Divine purpose the descent will aim to fulfill. The popular image of the Avatar is that of a rider upon a white horse, which some sources name as Devadatta (God-given) and describe as a winged horse; but some have even declared that Kalki would come ''in the form'' of a white horse, while a few others even claim that he would appear as a horse-headed person. The most common accounts declare Kalki will come riding upon a white horse, brandishing a flaming comet-like sword, (or wielding a comet like a sword), intent on eradicating the reign of evil on the Earth, vanquishing Yama (Death), reconciling all opposites, renewing the processes of the Dharma (Paths of Virtue), of Creation (theology), and establishing a reign of righteousness. The sword is sometimes interpreted as a symbol for "discernment", or Wisdom, slicing away the bonds of lies and foulness and liberating souls to greater awareness of truth and beauty. ==When will Kalki come?== The previous article placed here was incorrect. ==Origins of the Kalki Prophecy== One of the earliest mentions of Kalki is in the Vishnu Purana. Vishnu is the Preserver, the sustainer of life in the Hindu trinity, balancing the processes of Creation (theology) and Destruction. Kalki is also mentioned in another of the 18 major Purana, the Agni Purana. Agni is the god of Fire in the Hindu pantheon, and symbolically represents the spiritual fire of life and the processes of transformation. It is one of the earliest works declaring Gautama Buddha to have been a manifestation of Vishnu, and seems to draw upon the Vishnu Purana in its mention of Kalki. A later work, the Kalki Purana, a ''minor'' Purana is an extensive exposition of expectations and predictions of when, where, and why it is said he will come, and what he is expected to do. It has a very militant perspective, and celebrates the defeat of traditions that are deemed heretical for not adhering closely enough to the traditions of the Vedas, such as Buddhism and Jainism. A few other minor Purana also mention him. It has been theorized that the ''Kalki Purana'' may have been written as a Hindu response to the Buddhist prophecies within the ''Kalachakra Tantra'' of ''many'' leaders with the name or title of Kalki. Followers of Tibetan Buddhism have preserved the ''Kalachakra Tantra'', and initiation rites based upon it are a prominent part of the Tibetan traditions. In the ''Kalachakra Tantra'' Kalki (or Kalaki, or Kulika) is declared to be a title or name of at least 25 future rulers of the mystical realm of Shambala. The aims and actions of some of these are prophesied in portions of the work and some identify the 25th Kalki as the Maitreya Buddha who brings about world-wide enlightenment. ==The Kalki within== Drawing on symbolic and metaphoric interpretations of the Buddhist ''Kalachakra'', Shambala, and Bodhisattva traditions at least as much as the Hindu prophecies, interpretations of the Kalki legends in ways that do not necessarily apply the designation "Kalki" uniquely to any particular person have arisen. In such interpretations "Kalki" is seen primarily as an archetypal symbol of what can be manifest in any person, whether man, woman, or child. It is a designation of spiritual repose and vigor, a "beautiful life essence", impelling people to follow diverse and harmonious paths of virtue, rather than needlessly harsh and destructive paths of bigotry and narrow minded presumptions. To those who embrace this view the term Kalki can refer to an attitude or quality of awareness that will be manifest in many enlightened people, who perceive beyond Maya_(illusion) (the appearances of Space and Time) and into Eternity in ways that are ''both'' rational and mystical in nature. A level of Awareness where people become destroyers of the uncharitable ways of bigotry ''within themselves'' which would otherwise lead them to unjustly oppress others, and limit themselves. In such interpretations ''everyone'' who is enlightened enough to follow the ways of ultimate honesty and ultimate love can be declared to be an honorable manifestation of Vishnu the preserver of Life, and Kalki the Destroyer of Foulness … but no one person ''can'' be declared to be ''the ultimate'' manifestation…or the ultimate teacher for all people. There are many ways to point out some of the worst confusions that afflict human minds and souls, and for anyone to think that there is only one greatest and most perfect way for all, (which is of course their own), and that all others must be scorned, shunned, denigrated and vilified is itself one of the worst and most dangerous confusions that afflict many who are spiritually weak, ignorant, cowardly and vain. It is emphasized that much is required in many spiritual paths, but the most important of all requirements are the will to speak the truth, and the capacity to love anyone who perceive the truth and become devoted to it, no matter how troublesome, misguided, dishonest and dangerous they may initially be. One can not force change upon others, but one can give them the information and opportunity by which they can come to desire beneficial change themselves. Each person who is wisely charitable, "riding the white horses" of fate's flow, and wielding the deceit destroying "sword" of honesty can become a "Kalki" — a destroyer of such foulness as could dwell ''within themselves'' first and foremost, that they may more ably ''assist others'' in destroying the capacities for evil ''within themselves''. Each person is considered a ''potential'' spiritual ruler of their own manifest span of mortal life, a universe to themselves connected to all others by bonds of awareness and sympathy; a person of utmost integrity, perceiving many connections between all people, all events, all ideas and all souls, and therefore affirming that respect for the individual integrity of all other mortals as an imperative of their own. The Kali Yuga can end within them, no matter how long it may persist in others, and a Satya Yuga of wisdom begins within their life, enabling them to help others to find their own unique paths towards enlightenment, and into their own ranges of contentment. ==Modern variations of the Kalki Prophecy== ===Theosophy, Christianity=== Some Theosophy and New Age speculators have declared the Kalki prophecies and those of the Maitreya Buddha of Buddhism, might actually refer to one and the same individual, and they and others have noted similarities of the Kalki prophecy to the Rider on the White Horse in the Christianity book of ''Revelation'' who has been interpreted as a herald of the Second Coming of Christ, or by some (who seem to take the passage out of its larger context), to be Jesus himself. In such interpretations the sword of Kalki is equated to the two-edged sword that proceeds from the mouth of this apocalyptic figure, and is often symbolically interpreted to be the swordlike effectiveness of words of truth against all manner of lies and deceptions. ===Nazism=== Extending upon the bleakness of the ''Kalki Purana'' aggressive and violent interpretations of the Kalki prophecies also exist. Adolf Hitler is well known to have incorporated myths, legends, and symbols he felt have "Aryan" origins into his own Nazi mysticism. Some such as Savitri Devi Mukherji believe the Kalki prophecies, among others, referred to Hitler and predict the ultimate worldwide military triumph of his Nazi "Third Reich". There is currently a Neo-Nazi group in Argentina that operates under the name "Red Kalki", and other fascist, racist and ethnocentric groups still incorporate the concept of Kalki into their mythos. One musical group Current 93 has recorded a song ''Hitler as Kalki'' (which the writer David Tibet dedicated to his father who fought against the Nazis). ===Gandhi=== Another interpretation suggest that the Kalki Avatar was to appear in India around the time of the Second World War, leading India, then ripe for war against the British, as an Axis power, tilting the outcome of the war, and bringing the Thousand Year Reich. The suggestion is that Gandhi was an alternative manifestation of the Kalki Avatar, a divine mercy. ===Gore Vidal=== The author Gore Vidal, known for his dark witty cynicism in such works as ''Messiah'', ''Live from Golgotha'' and other novels, wrote an extremely nightmarish and depressing satire on modern society, human motivations, and the potential consequences of extreme complacency, indifference, delusion, deceitfulness, and jealousy entitled ''Kalki'' (1978). It depicted Kalki as a deranged American veteran of the Vietnam War intent on destroying most of humanity and who succeeds all too thoroughly in that dreadful goal. Vidal was prompted to this particular endeavor as a response to a friend who mentioned the Kalki prophecies, saying that he was not worried too greatly about all the ills of society, because he had a firm faith and confidence that Kalki was already here, and would bring about a great transformation that would sweep most of them away. The sweeping away that Vidal's Kalki does is far more total than even most of the deeply depraved could ever wish. Vidal does much more than you say here and all in a fun read that especially captures the sense of the '70s. Kalki is less deranged than you say and he has a following--key to what Vidal is speaking to. Have another read of it and check your literalness at the door. ===Claims of being Kalki=== In the last few decades several leaders of relatively small religious movements in India, and a few outside of it, including some women, have at times claimed to be the Kalki Avatar of Hinduism, or their followers have declared them to be Kalki. Some Muslim writers have asserted that Muhammad fulfilled many predictions of some of the Kalki prophecies, in their interpretations. Others have noted some similarities in the prophecies to those of the Islamic figure of the Mahdi, which over the centuries several notable Muslim religious or political leaders have claimed to be. Some adherents of the Bahá'í Faith have interpreted the prophecies as having referred to their prophet Bahá'u'lláh. All of the above interpretations and more can be found at various places on the Internet, including various sites of quite a number of claimants to be "the one and only" Kalki Avatar, ranging from some that are perhaps sublime to many that are amusingly ridiculous, including at least one man who claims to be from another planet. It has been jokingly asserted that there are hundreds of people in India claiming to be the Kalki Avatar of ultimate might and righteousness — most of them from jail cells. Whatever the proper assessments of any of these interpretations, good, bad or mixed, will ultimately be perhaps only time or Eternity will tell. ==External links== ===Interpretations of the Kalki Avatar=== * [http://www.dakotacom.net/~jforster/KalkiAvatar.htm Kalki Avatar, the Coming Prophet (Essay by Swami Amar Jyoti)] * [http://webonautics.com/mythology/avataar_kalki.html Kalki in Indian Mythology ''1] [http://webonautics.com/mythology/avataar_kalki2.html 2]'' * [http://www.adishakti.org/prophecies/prophecy_21.htm Various views on Kalki] * [http://www.berzinarchives.com/kalachakra/religious_conversion_shambhala.html Religious Policies of the 25 Kalki rulers] * [http://www.indiaprofile.com/monuments-temples/kalkitemple.htm Kalki Temple in Jaipur] * [http://mailerindia.com/god/hindu/index.php?vish12 Buddha & Kalki] * [http://theosophy.org/tlodocs/KalkiMaitreya.htm A Theosophical Interpretation: "Kalki Maitreya"] * [http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/etgloss/ka.htm Theosophical Glossary] * [http://www.indiayogi.com/content/indgods/kalki.asp Kalki, The Last Avatar] * [http://ww-iii.tripod.com/hindu.htm Hindu Prophecies: Translations from the Kalki Purana] * [http://www.islamic-paths.org/Home/English/Issues/Religion/Other/Kalki_Autar.htm An assertion that Muhammad was Kalki] * [http://www.swordoftruth.com/cgi-bin/forum.pl?action=display&num=2229 A Hindu rebuttal of the idea that Muhammad was Kalki] * [http://ismaili.net/Source/nikakalki.html Comments on the Kalki Purana] * [http://ismaili.net/Source/0784dkh.html Messianic Themes in traditions of Northwest India] * [http://kalachakranet.org/kalachakra_tantra_history.html The History of the Kalachakra Tantra] * [http://berzinarchives.com/kalachakra/index.html The Archives of Alexander Berzin - Kalachakra Section] * [http://sourceryforge.org/wiki.phtml?title=The_Four_Horsemen_Theory Averted apocalypse: Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Gandhi/Kalki] ===Artistic Imagery=== * [http://www.dharmakshetra.com/avatars/kalki.html A depiction of Kalki as a fierce Rider] *[http://www.greatdreams.com/rider.jpg An Apocalyptic Rider on a White Horse] *[http://maxmagnusnorman.com/english/about_kalki.shtml Artist Max Magnus Depicting Kalki ''as'' a fierce white horse] ==Other meanings of ''Kalki'' == *The name ''Kalki'' is also used as a relatively rare personal name that has been given to both male and female children, and recently, a rare and somewhat untamable leopard [http://www.cattales.org/kalki.html]. *''Kalki'' was the primary pseudonym used by Tamil language writer ''Kalki Krishnamurthy''. *Playa Kalki is a beach on the Caribbean island of Curaçao, also curiously known as \"Alice in Wonderland\". * Kalki is the name of the female lead character played by Tulip Joshi in Indian Director Manish Jha's widely acclaimed motion picture ''Matrubhoomi'', about a society where women have become rare because of infanticide, and are treated as a commodity.

Re: My name; Actually it's my real name (as in used in RL) just using my surname as letters. Yeah, I've one of those double barrelled surnames. :). Usually I use a variety of user names (Dark Matter, Glint, Atreides etc.) but for this and a few other sites I'm not afraid to use my own. BTW. Feel free to add to the Kate Bush album pages.

I went to the night that was recorded (with my friend Richard). After the show, we waited until 3am to watch her leave, then walked home as the sun was rising. It was a magical night. BTW as a result of this exchange I just looked into my keep it forever box. I have have a pristine copy of the tour programme (with postcards and 1 flyer).

==Massive re-wording needed== The "When will Kalki come?" section feels like it's been taken word-for-word out of an ISKCON (Hare Krishna) text on the subject. I suspect that it might be plagiarized. That section needs to be heavily reworded and redone to conform to NPOV and to reflect the prophecy of Kalki as seen by all Hindus, not just ISKCON. Also, what is with that stuff at the end about Kalki already being alive today? The way it is written, it feels like a prophecy itself, not a Wikipedia article ''about'' a prophecy. --User:141.156.221.9 21:27, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC) ==POV== I dislike references to Kalki as a myth as it presupposes the falsehood of Hindu beliefs. Speaking of Jesus as mythical would be offensive to Christians, and speaking of the Second Coming of the Messiah during the Apocalypse as myth is similarly politically incorrect. I have changed the use of the word myth. : The extreme editorializing should be toned down a bit on this page. User:Pjrich 07:40, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC) ::I hope this problem is signifigantly less severe at the present time? ==Amma & Kalki== In southern India, near Chennai (Madras) there is an Ashram called Golden City. Situated in Andhra Pradesh, India. The couple is giving freely enlightment and healing energy called [[Deeksha]. Many people in the surroundings and around the world in the first years of this century experienced oneness consiousness through this movment. :I removed the above, since I couldn't understand it. Help, please? 12:58, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC) What could not be understood ? There is a Divine Couple in Golden City, near Chennai in South India called Sri Amma and Sri Bhagavan. Sri Bhagavan is adored as Kalki by thousands of people, since He inaugurated the Golden Age or SatyaYuga, in 2003 by giving Enlightenment or Oneness to mankind. Ordinary folk as a result now actually LIVE and experience the distilled essence of the Vedas - 'Tat Twam Asi' or 'I am That'. As more people are being enlightened everyday, a critical mass will be reached by 2012, when in one single tsunami-like wave all of humanity will experience Enlightenment as their reality. Whatever stories you may hear about the Puranas or sacred books about what Kalki should do, where he should be born etc, Sri Bhagavan here will retain the label 'Kalki', since he is capable of transmitting permanent and irreversible Enlightenment to Man. Hence I suggest, you should put this info back on the main section. Reference websites are http://www.onenessuniversity.org, http://www.experiencefestival.org
