Many of us ware that Kalki will be Avatar of Lord Vishnu in Kali Yuga.
This is yet to manifest.
Kaliyuga lasts for 4,32,000 years.
Kali means ‘strife, Discord,quarrel” or “contention’ .
We are in the 5115 Year of KaliYuga.
Of the four Yugas, in the Satya Yuga Dharama has Four Legs, Three in the Treta Yuga, Two in Dwapara and one in Kali.
The Four legs of Kali allegorical.
They represent austerity, cleanliness, mercy and truthfulness.
When the Kali Purusha, Kali stands on leg, that is Truthfulness, Kali Yuga shall exist.
When even that fails, Kalki Avatar will emerge.
After setting off to wage war against the evils of the world with his armies, Emperor Parikshit, the grandson of Arjuna, came across a Sudra dressed as a king who was beating a cow and an ox with a club. Parikshit immediately lead his chariot over to the scene and angrily berated the sudra for abusing the sacred cow and her mate. However, this was no ordinary sudra and these were no ordinary bovine, for the sudra was Kali and the cow and ox were embodiments of the earth goddess and Dharma. The Emperor noticed the ox was standing on one of his legs because the other three had been broken by Kali. Dharma explained his four legs represented “austerity, cleanliness, mercy and truthfulness”, but he had only the leg of “truth” to stand on since the other three had been broken by kali over the preceding yugas. Kali was intent on breaking all the legs that supported the reign of dharma so he could effect the expansion of his own dark reign on earth. The earth goddess cried for she had once been plentiful, but when Krishna died and ascended to heaven, she was forsaken and all of the prosperity left from the world. She feared evil kings like Kali would continue to lay waste to the earth.
When Parikshit raised his sword to kill Kali, the sudra stripped himself of his royal garments and prostrated himself at the emperor’s feet. The emperor knew Kali tainted the world with his evil and so had no place in it and raised his sword once more. But Kali interceded again and begged the emperor to spare his life and allow him a place to live within his empire. Parikshit decided that Kali would live in “gambling houses, in taverns, in women of unchaste lives, in slaughtering places and in gold”. And as long as Parikshit ruled India, Kali stayed within the confines of these five places. This act allowed Dharma to regain his legs and the earth to be relieved of much burden. However, Parikshit was later cursed to die by snake bite after hunting in the forest and throwing a dead snake on an unresponsive sage practicing austerities. Upon the emperor’s death, “Kali made his way to other places like wild fire and established his power throughout the length and breadth of the whole world.”
In another version of the tale, Kali enters into the Emperor’s crown when Parikshit gives him permission to reside wherever there is gold. Upon returning home after offending the sage, Parikshit says to himself, “Kali-yug’s abode is in gold; this was on my head; hence I had so evil a thought that, having taken a dead snake cast it on the sage’s neck. Therefore, I now understand that Kali-yug has taken his revenge on me. How shall I escape this grievous sin?””
Family of Kali.
”
Kali is the great-great-grandson of Lord Brahma. He is the son of Krodha (Anger) and his sister-turned-wife Himsa (Violence). He is the grandson of Dambha (Vanity) and his sister-turned-wife, Maya (Illusion). He is the great-grandson of Adharma (Impropriety) and his wife, Mithya (Falsehood). Adharma was originally created from Lord Brahma’s back as a Maleen Pataka (a very dark and deadly sinful object).
B. K. Chaturvedi, a modern translator of the Kalki Purana, states in a foot note that the growth of this dark sinful object into Adharma seems to, “convey the growth of Kali Yugaand its obnoxious offshoots
Parashurama, an Avatar of Lord Vishnu is a Chiranjivi, and is said to still be doing penance today in Mahendragiri. The Kalki Purana writes that he will reemerge at the end of Kali Yuga to be the martial and spiritual guru of Kalki, the tenth and final avatar of Vishnu. It is foretold that he will instruct Kalki to perform a difficult penance to Shiva, and receive the celestial weaponry needed to bring about end time.”

Thanks. Most of the are quotes and predictions.Do you hvae any infomration on Kalki from sources other than the Puranas? The information in the link is scanty.Regds
Have u ever researched who the father of brahma, vishnu, shiva was?
Have u ever researched the connection between KALchakra, KALi-Yuga, KAL-ki avatar, Kali, ?
Did u know that these avatars (Krishna, etc) are agents of Kal who make sure we are stuck in birth death cycle and can never attain liberation?
Pls read Kabir’s Anurag Sagar for an ultimate explanation.
I will be writing on hthis with refernces from Puranas,Lalithopakyana, lalitha Sahasranama and some more texts.
The insights are mind boggling, always pleasure to read each one of them 🙂
