Kalki Jayanti


About mighty Lord Kalki
Kalki is one of the supreme manifestations of Lord Vishnu. Kalki is the tenth and the last avatar of imperial Vishnu. This aspect of Lord Vishnu is born in the present yuga or the Kali yoga. He incarnates to shatter evil energies and vicious powers. This mighty manifestation of Vishnu fights against adharma, bringing never ending harmony in the universe. 
Significance of Kalki Jayanti
Kalki Jayanti acquires a significant place in the Vedic realm as it cherishes the dominant avatar of Lord Vishnu: Kalki. He is one of the most revered and admired aspects of commanding Lord Vishnu. This glorious festival finds extensive importance in Vishnu Purana, Kalki Purana and other sacred texts. 

Kalki Purana elaborates that Kalki takes birth in Kali-yuga. He was born in a village called Shambhala to a brahmin couple. His energies are so powerful that he can eradicate any opposing force. He rides on a white and pure horse known as Devadatta, a fierce sword and a talking parrot who holds vital information about past, present and even future events. After incarnating, Kalki goes to fight a vicious demon called Kali. Kali, the demon's ultimate motive, is to spread fear in the world and promote dharma. Lord Vishnu fights with him as Kalki brings Kali to a brutal end. After destroying the ferocious demon, Lord Kalki returns to his home in heaven or Vaikuntha.
