Kalki Avatar – The Final Incarnation and the End of Kali Yuga Kalki Avatar Welcome to the final chapter of the Dashavatar series . Across ages, Lord Vishnu has descended again and again, sometimes to protect life, sometimes to guide it, and sometimes to awaken it. Yet one incarnation still belongs to the future. An avatar spoken of not in stories of the past, but in prophecies of what is yet to come. This is not an avatar of play or persuasion. This is the avatar of reckoning. The one who arrives when all warnings have been ignored. This is the prophecy of Lord Kalki .  The Beginning of Kali Yuga Kali Yuga began when Shri Krishna departed from the earth . With his departure, humanity lost its living connection to divine guidance, and the slow descent into spiritual confusion began. Ancient scriptures mark the beginning of Kali Yuga in 3102 BCE . Unlike earlier ages that ended through sudden destruction, Kali Yuga erodes the worl...

Today, we explore the story of the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu – Rama , the eternal symbol of virtue, dharma, and ideal kingship.

Despite his valour, wisdom, and unmatched devotion to his people, one sorrow silently weighed upon his heart: he had no heir to continue the Ikshvaku lineage.

Varaha Avatar : Rescued the Earth Varahaswami Welcome back to the Dashavatar series . Let’s explore the third incarnation of Lord Vishnu: Varaha , the mighty boar.
