What is Kalki Avatar?
Lord Vishnu has been called the protector of the world. According to mythology, it has been said that whenever there is a crisis on earth, then Lord Vishnu incarnates to remove that crisis. Vaman Avatar, Narasimha Avatar, Matsya Avatar, Rama Avatar, Krishna Avatar all these are proof of this fact. The incarnations of Lord Vishnu have been mentioned in the Hindu scriptures. It is believed that the Kalki avatar of Lord Vishnu will be the last avatar that he will take in Kalyug and this avatar is yet to take place. Lord Vishnu will take his last incarnation in Kalyug in the form of Kalki in Kalyug and after that he will establish Dharma.
Satyug will begin
According to Shrimadbhagwadgita, Lord Vishnu will incarnate as Kalki to destroy sin and tyranny in Kalyug. It has been said in Shrimad Bhagwad Gita that whenever there is dominance of unrighteousness and sin, then God incarnates for the establishment of religion. It has been described in Shrimadbhagwadgita that the incarnation of Lord Kalki will take place at the end of Kalyug and the Sandhi period of Satyug. It is believed that Lord Vishnu will incarnate in Kalki avatar on a white horse named Devadatta and he will help in the establishment of religion. Satyug will start as soon as he descends.
