Kalki - The Prophesied Final Avatar

Dadi: "Guddu, shall I tell you more details about Kalki from a different scripture?"

Guddu: "Yes! I want to know more about the future avatar!"

Dadi: "The Bhagavata Purana gives us beautiful details. "Kalki" means "destroyer of filth" - he comes to clean away the accumulated corruption of an entire age."

Guddu: "That's a big job!"

Dadi: "The scripture describes specific signs of when he'll come. When rulers are nothing more than thieves dressed in royal clothes. When people abandon their parents, teachers, and holy traditions. When friends betray friends for small gains."

Guddu: "Those sound like problems we have today!"

Dadi: "The Kali Yuga has been getting darker for thousands of years, beta. But it gets much worse before Kalki appears. The texts say by then, people will live only 20-30 years, be the size of a thumb, and have no dharma at all."

Guddu: "The SIZE of a thumb?!"

Dadi: "These might be symbolic rather than literal - meaning people become "small" spiritually, their consciousness shrunk. But however we understand it, the picture is of total collapse."

Guddu: "What special powers will Kalki have?"

Dadi: "The Bhagavata says he'll possess eight mystic siddhis - supernatural abilities - and all the opulences of Godhead. He'll travel the earth on his horse Devadatta, "exhibiting unequaled effulgence.""

Guddu: "Like a blazing light?"

Dadi: "Exactly. The corrupt rulers who have disguised themselves as kings will be exposed and destroyed. "He will kill by the millions those thieves who have dared dress as kings.""

Guddu: "Millions?!"

Dadi: "Remember, this is cosmic purification, not ordinary war. It's dharma itself reasserting. Like when you finally clean a room that's gotten terribly messy - sometimes you have to throw out a LOT."

Guddu: "What happens after the cleaning?"

Dadi: "*(voice becoming gentle)* This is the beautiful part. The Bhagavata says that everyone who comes in contact with the sacred fragrance from Kalki's body will have their minds cleared. Confusion will lift. Truth will become obvious again."

Guddu: "Just by being near him?"

Dadi: "His very presence transforms consciousness. And then Satya Yuga begins. The scripture says: "When the Supreme Lord Kalki, the Lord and Master of Dharma, incarnates, Satya-yuga will begin.""

Guddu: "Do we have to wait until then to be transformed?"

Dadi: "Here's the secret, beta. The same Lord who will come as Kalki is already present - in the scriptures, in the temples, in our hearts. We don't have to wait for the physical avatar to connect with the divine."

Guddu: "So we can start our own Satya Yuga inside?"

Dadi: "*(hugging him)* That's exactly right! The external cycles take ages. But internally, you can choose truth over lies any moment. You can choose dharma over adharma today. Your personal Kalki - the voice that destroys inner filth - is already riding."

Guddu: "My inner Kalki!"

Dadi: "Everyone has one. The question is whether we listen to it. The outer Kalki will come at the end of time. But the inner one? He's knocking right now, every time you face a choice between right and wrong."

Guddu: "I'll try to listen, Dadi."

Dadi: "That's all any of us can do. Live as if Satya Yuga has already begun - inside. The outer world will catch up eventually."
