Dashavatara

Rama and Sita

The Ramayana is based on real events that took place during the Dvapara Yuga (a time period with roughly twice as much dharma as we have known in the Kali Yuga). It is about Vishnu being born as a prince named Rama, who was destined to rid the world of an evil warlord who could only be killed by a human. In the poem, you can see that even if they weren’t perfect, most of the people in the story put effort into doing the right thing and tended to be good and gracious to one another. The end of the poem is very sad, though, and dharma seems to collapse, causing a lot of tragedy.

Whether Rama and his wife Sita separated at the end of their difficulties in and leading up to Lanka depends on where you ask. It’s different in some cities and households and times than others. I believe and have recovered the information that the tradition that says that Rama and Sita stayed together permanently after she was rescued from the warlord’s grasp is the accurate one.

The tragic ending of Valmiki’s Ramayana, which I believe was adapted in during the Kali Yuga, brings up important feminist questions. They may have been particularly historically or socially relevant questions at that time.

Rama and Sita are known throughout the world as models of a good king and queen, and as good parents. Rama was the Gemini Christ by the same time metric where Jesus is known as the Piscean Christ, Gautama Buddha was the Aries Christ, and Krishna was the Taurean Christ.

Kalki, final Vishnu avatar

“For whenever there is a decline in righteousness and an increase in un-righteousness, Arjuna, then I emanate myself. For the protection of good people, for the destruction of evil-doers, and for the restoration of righteousness, I take birth in age after age.”

– Krishna, Bhagavad Gita

Messages of Kalki, the expected final Vishnu avatar who (never being evil) overcomes evil with good, and who helps restore dharma to the world, have existed for a long time. They’re prophecies given by Hindu prophets, and they hold secrets about the Apocalypse and yuga turn (the transition from the Kali Yuga to the Satya Yuga). They talk about Kalki as a real person who lives at the end of the Kali Yuga (our current age, which is at its end, if things run their proper course).

I’ve recovered some interesting information that seems to be present in various Kalki prophecies, some of which is obscure and/or known only in certain regions:

  • Kalki is the living avatar of Vishnu, a good and just god. Kalki champions dharma, which involves people fulfilling their potential as good and productive beings (individually and collectively).
  • Kalki is Vishnu born to help humans attain the living paradise of Satya Yuga.
  • Kalki hates evil.
  • Kalki is supposed to defeat evil. Kalki tries to save the world alongside the other people who want to rise above evil, defeat it, and have a good and productive future for humanity.
  • In or before the 1800s, prophets started having visions of Kalki turning out to be a woman: Vishnu’s first female human avatar. Otherwise, Kalki seems to undertake the very serious challenge of the Apocalypse in his youth or early manhood.
  • In or before the 1500s, prophets started having visions of Kalki having trouble at some point with being plagiarized. Even before that, it was understood that Kalki would be a sacred scholar who studied morality, dharma, ethics, and other things. Vishnu avatars are all philosophers.
  • In or before the 1400s, prophets started describing that Kalki would be one of several children, and have evil siblings, who are very depraved, who are unjust to Kalki, and who perpetrate offensive acts that Vishnu hates, and that the righteous hate. Kalki, however, was expected to be good and just, and to have sound philosophies.
  • Kalki is predicted to have chronic health issues for long periods, and these health problems will place undue limitations on Kalki’s life and lifestyle.
  • Kalki has something like a built-in cosmic calculator. This could describe a kind of alchemical mental state connected with Logos.
  • There has been an understanding that Kalki would be a musician, and may write songs.
  • Kalki was expected to have a mystery to solve about some of the evil going on in the world, and would present what was discovered to the public on some kind of screen.
  • Kalki was prophesied by some to be a survivor of abuse.
  • It’s been said that Kalki works specifically with (and as) multiple Vedic and Upanishad gods, including Vishnu, Kartikeya’s identities (notably Murugan, Skanda, and Subrahmanya), and Durga, and counts as the avatar of all of those. Kalki also has a special relationship with the god Shiva, who is Kartikeya’s father and Durga’s consort. Kalki also has special identification with Rama, Vishnu’s first human avatar.
  • Kalki is an avatar who becomes aware of being an avatar at some point relatively early in life.
  • Kalki must live a long life. Kalki may experience a resurrection and transfiguration at some point.
  • Kalki is associated with a white horse. Kalki may own a white horse.
  • Kalki is associated with a parrot. Kalki may own a parrot.
  • Kalki is associated with a sword. Kalki may receive or have a physical, etheric, or metaphorical weapon that could be called or compared to a sword.
  • Some prophecies have claimed that Kalki would be born in a land that was associated with dreams.
  • Kalki is supposed to be instrumental in getting humanity through the Apocalypse at the end of the Kali Yuga and into the sacred Satya Yuga.
  • Kalki confronts demons, and engages in battles with them.
  • Kalki cares about and cooperates with righteous people who champion virtue during a time when too much human virtue is lost.
  • More than one person, including someone who holds special interest for the god Brahma, is prophesied to be destined to help and be close with Kalki. They must have good and enjoyable lives to create an environment that blooms into the Satya Yuga.
  • Kalki has a spouse at some point who is probably associated with an island somewhere and is either named after a flower, or known for being beautiful or delicate like a flower.
  • Kalki is a leader.
  • The numbers of years often quoted as the duration of the various yugas may very likely be estimations or figurative.
  • Kalki will be born around the time when humans are running out of dharma so much that they’re hitting a very serious crisis point.

The Winning of Sita

The bride sits on her velvet throne.
Her red sari is heavy with gold,
drawn ’round her jasmine-plaited hair.
It hides her smooth brow,
shining with rubies and pearls,
and her large eyes
turned within.

Her jeweled feet rest in rose petals.
Garlands twine a canopy above
the narrow-waisted,
the envy of maidens,
King Janaka’s daughter.

Mithila’s bravest princes
gather at her feet.
The bronzed arms
of two hundred heroes
flex with pride and glory.
Who will lift Shiva’s bow
and claim her?

She smiles at none.
Her veiled eyes do not reveal
her secret desire.


Twenty thousand blow their conches and ring their bells
when the first man bends to lift the bow
glittering in the morning sun.
But when the evening star rises above
the dim embers of the sinking orb,
the bow lies in the dust still,
unmoved, none dare whisper.

Then the golden Prince of Ayodhya
enters the city of Sita.
Her breath soaks inward,
collected in a quiet pool,
and the air hangs heavy
over the earth standing still.

In one swinging motion Rama raises the bow,
bends the ends of infinity,
and cracks the waiting silence.
Her eyes, still inward, see the sun.

— From The Ramayana by Valmiki, translated by Linda Egenes and Kumuda Reddy
