WHO IS “KALKI AVTAAR”?

INTRODUCTION:

For centuries multitudes of Hindus have been trying to search for that
candidate who has been portended as “KALKI AVTAAR” in their sacred
scriptures. This brief article is intended to quell that search under the light of
sacred Hindu Scriptures.

What is “KALKI AVTAAR”, anyway?

A leading proponent in the field of Sanskrit, Dr. M.A. Srivastava, writes in

his book*, on page 19, “Avtaar” word is made by the amalgamation of “Tri” with
root “Ghain”. It means “to come on earth”. He further writes, “In (the phrase)
‘Avtaar “of” God, “of” is relational sign, hence, it is perspicuous that with relation
to God; human is to come(take birth on earth). He strongly exhorts to not to
confuse the import of “Avtaar” with ‘God Incarnate’, as he writes on page 5, “The
meaning of “Avtaar” is never correct to be taken as God descending on earth
bodily.” (Kindly Refer: Kalki Avtaar aur Mohammad Sahab). Dr. M.A. Srivastava
further corroborates his notion through the concordant views held by religious
giants and scholars. To name some of them are:-

Swami Vivekanand, Gurunanak Saheb, Pt. Sunder Lal, Dr. Ved Prakash
Upadhyay etc and many more.

So, with this concept of “Avtaar” let us search for him in sacred Hindu Scriptures.

Stage Set:

It is expedient to understand the circumstances and other ambient conditions

such as social, moral, ethical etc in which “Kalki” would appear.

“He would take birth when violence and chaos would be rife. When
female infants would be buried alive.”, writes Dr.M.A.Srivastava (Please see:
Hazrat Mohammad aur Bhartiya Dhram Granth, Dr. M.A. Srivastava, Publisher
Madhur Sandesh Sangam). Furthermore, he would appear when swords would be
used in battles (Bhagwat Puran ,12 Skandh, 2 Adhyay, 19th Shloke). It can be
immediately deduced from the above cited “shloka” that “Kalki Avtaar” has
already appeared because swords are no more to be used in strife and battles. But
they were used 1400 years ago!
 Mohammad, peace be upon him(pbuh)- The last messenger of Allah came
with his divine mission under exactly same situation, as Quran testifies, “When
the female(infant), buried alive is questioned- For what crime she was killed.”
(The Holy Quran 81:8-9).

It is also verifiable fact that during Mohammad’s era swords were one of the
chief weapons to be used.

Where will “Kalki” take birth?

“Kalki Avtaar”, according to “Kalki” and “Bhagwat Puran”, would take birth
at “Shambhal”. According to legendary Sanskrit and Vedic Scholar, Dr. Ved
Prakash Upadhyay**, “Shambhal” has an import of Adjective than a Proper Noun.
Thus, the literal meaning of “Shambhal”, according to scholars, is a place of
serenity and peace.

Now, Mohammad(pbuh), was born in Mecca which is also called as “Dar-ul-

Aman”. It is verbatim translation of “Shambhal” - A place of serenity and peace.

MM/DD/YYYY:

The date of birth of “Kalki Avtaar” is provided in, 2nd Adhyay, Shlok 15 of
Kalki Puran: He would take birth in “Shukal Pakchha of Madhumas” and on 12th of
Rabi Fasal’s Moon.

Amazingly, Mohammad(pbuh) was born on 12th Rabi – ul – Awwal. Rabi –

ul – Awwal means month of happiness and joy – “Madhumas”.

Kalki’s Parentage:

Kalki’s father would be “Vishnuvyas”. His mother’s name on the other hand,
would be “Sumati”. (Vishnuvyas: Bhagwat Puran, Dwadash Skandh, 2 Adhyay,
18th Shloke). Vishnuvyas, means, “worshipper of God”, because it is framed on two
other basic words, namely, “Vishnu” which means God and “Vyas” which means
worshipper. Similarly, “Abdullah” – Father of Mohammad(pbuh), also means
“Worshipper of God.”

Similarly, “Sumati” means one of peaceful and agreeable nature.

Astonishingly, “Amina” – Mother of Mohammad (pbuh) – also means Peace
loving and serene natured. “Amina” is derived from Arabic root “Aman” which
itself means Peace.

Four Brothers:

Kalki Avtaar would eradicate evil with the help of four brothers. (Kalki
Puran Adhyay 2, shlok 5). No wonder, Mohammad(pbuh), was supported
arduously by four of his very close relatives, namely, Abu Bakr, Umar, Ali and
Usman. May Allah be pleased with them. They are perfectly squaring with Hindu
Scriptures.

The last one:

Kalki Avtar is prophesised as to be the Last messenger(Avtaar) of the last era

(Yug). (Bhagwat Puran, Pratham Skandh, Tritiya Adhyay, 25th shloke).

No anomaly, Mohammad was also the last and final prophet who came with
the Last revelation. He was the seal of all prophets. “Mohammad is no the father
of any of your men, but (he is) the messenger of Allah, and the seal of the
prophets.” The Holy Quran 33:40.

Further Support from Upanishads.

So much from Puranas (Kalki Purana). Now, let us adduce you something
from Upanishad – “Allo – Upanishad.”

Prelude to Allo – Upanishad

Lay Hindu might now be fully apprised that Allo – Upanishad is an

authoritative book in Hindu Scriptural canon. Allo – Upanishad holds 15th position
out of total 220 Upanishads in the Upanishad canon. (Kindly refer : “Upanishad
Ank”. Published by Gita Press, Gorakhpur). Furthermore, Dr. Ved Prakash
Upadhyay ** has considered Allo-Upanishad as authoritative. ( Kindly read:
“Vedic Sahitaya: Ek Vivechan, Pradeep Prakashan, Page 101, 1989 Edition).

What is in Allo – Upanishad?

Verses 4 through 8 reads, “Allah send all rishies and created the moon, sun
and stars. He(Allah) send all Rishies and created the Sky. Allah created the
universe. Allah is the Greatest, none is worthy of worship besides him. O
worshipper, tell (them), there is none worthy of worship besides Allah. Allah is
since time immemorial(Anadi). He is the sustainer of the whole world. He is the
dispeller of evils and trials. Mohammad is Allah’s messenger( who in turn) is the
sustainer of this world. Thus, proclaim that Allah is one and there is none worthy
of worship besides Him.

Wisdom of the Wise:

Dr. Ved Prakash Upadhyay, a pioneer proponent in the field, comments that
the unprecedented similarities which he found between “Kalki” and “Mohammad”
startles him; that the “Kalki” which Indians were waiting for has come and
Mohammad Sahab is the same (Kalki Avtaar). (Kalki Avatar and Mohammad
Sahab, page 59).

Rounding off:

Evading my verbosity, let me conclude with Allah’s divine words, “You

have indeed in the messenger of Allah(Mohammad) an excellent exempler.”
(The Holy Quran 33:21.)
