Time for Kalki Avatar?

O Immortal, all the Gods come together to thee in thy birth as to a new born child. O Fire, from thee is born the Seer, the Horse and of thee are the Heroes whose might over comes the adversary. Rig Veda 2.7.3 - 4

Rig Veda surmises all the Gods will come together at the time of birth of Lord Vishnu’s 10th and last avatar Kalki. In our cinemas and serials we have seen “Gods” decorated with fine colorful silk cloths, jewelry and golden crowns standing over the clouds in the sky and showering flowers on the newborn Sree Rama, Sree Krishna, Sree Hanuman etc. Does ancient rishis who scripted Rigveda intended the physical presence of Gods in human forms as seen by us in screens? Nandi does not think so. Such a thought ignited seven years ago and he captured that the saying “Guru and Vayu were present” when Krishna idol at Guruvayur was installed meant that Guru(Jupiter) was in Medam (Aries) and Moon in a star associated to Vayu at that time of the day (refer vipanisangeetham post dated 13th April, 2012). On the day of Vishu Sun will transit to Aries and will be right above the head at noon in Guruvayur. In ancient India rishis were proficient in astronomy and astrology and hence used metaphor to narrate the happenings of the time. Most of the happenings were correlated to the stars and planets in the Rasi chakra (Zodiacal belt) as a chronological stamping. Therefore, what is meant by the verses of Rigveda cited above may be that Sun, Moon and all other planets named after Gods will come together at the birth time of Kalki. Such a rare phenomenon is going to take place in 2019. During December 2019 Soorya(Sun), Chandra(Moon), Budha(Mercury), Sukra(Venus), Mangal(Mars), Guru(Jupiter), and Shani(Saturn) will come together in Sagitarius, which is a fire sign and being depicted as a man riding a horse and having weapon in his hand. Avtar Kalki is characterized as a warrior riding a white horse and brandishing a shining sword. Other Gods Vayu(wind) may be present in the form of storm or cyclone, Varun(Water) in the form of tsunami or deluge and Agni(fire) in the form of volcano eruption or forest fire. And Bhoomi Devi (Earth Goddess) through the large openings on the earth due to severe earthquake, volcano eruption etc. Airavat's trumpets can be heard in the sky when Devendra arrives. So, all the signals will be loud and clear.

When Nandi was entrusted with a project to train the employees during the beginning of computerisation, he devised a feedback format having a single digit input. Narration given at the bottom of the format was 0-3 Poor, 4-6 Satisfactory, 7-8 Good and 9 Very good. This method had the advantage of minimum storage space, wide range of choice and easy calculation of average performance of trainers. Now he gathers that Mahayuga concept of ancient India had the same structure ie. Four parts (Krita / Sathya), Three parts (Threta), Two parts (Dwapara) and One part (Kali). There are ten avatars of Lord Vishnu, one in each part which is known as Dashavatar in a Mahayuga. Matsya (Fish), Koorma( SeaTurtle), Varaha(Boar) and Narasimha (Half Lion Man) during Kritayuga, Vamana (Dwarf Man), Parashu Rama( Warrior with an Axe) and Shree Rama during Thretayuga, Shree Krishna and one unrecognised during Dwaparayuga and Kalki (Horse man with a sword) in Kaliyuga. Since Shree Krishna was born on an astami day as eighth son of Devaki and Vasudeva, He was the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu. After Shree Krishna no one was recognised as an avatar of Lord Vishnu.

As all the fateful happenings on Earth are correlated to the events in the sky, Lord Vishnu’s avatars also can be mapped to the twelve Zodiacal constellations starting from Aries. The eighth avtar Shree Krishna can be associated with the eighth sign Scorpio and the 9th sign Sagitarius to the horse riding warrior Kalki, yet to be born. Verily, 9th sign of Zodiac is having the symbol of Horse and Man. In between Scorpio and Sagitarius there exists a constellation called “Ophiuchus” (snake snatcher) which is not included in the present Zodiac even though Sun transits through this constellation also. In ancient India this constellation was called “Garud” the vehicle of Lord Vishnu and in cherubim an eagle. This constellation might not have been included in the 12 month Zodiac to avoid complications in the division of a year or fear of the number 13. Whatever may be the reason, the same fate recurs in the case of Lord Vishnu’s 9th avatar also. Shree Rama and Shree Krishna revealed their avataric purposes only after they grew up. Therefore, we may have to wait a couple of years to see the process of destruction of evil forces and restoration of godliness by Kalki Avtar.
