In the year , 2001-2002 we were said to be in the 5102nd year out of the total of 432,000 years of the KALIYUGA. The Kali Yuga is said to come to and end after 426,898 years. During this period, the evil forces would progressively gain control and destroy all good ones by the time Kaliyuga comes to a close. BRAHMA is believed to have told NARADA about all the Avatars including the apocalyptic KALKI AVATAR. According to Puranas, when the evil becomes unbearable, Lord Vishnu will be born in a village called 'SAMBALAM' on the banks of Ganges as the son of a Brahmin couple called VISHNUYASAS and SUMATHI. He will be riding a white horse called ?kalkam (karkam) and wielding a sharp sword will traverse the entire Universe in three nights weeding out all evil forces and establishing a Krita yuga back again -thus being the harbinger of the 'Golden Age' on earth. May the Lord who now appears to us in Archaa form and who is going to take this form of Kalki put an end to our cycle of births and deaths in Samsaara.
Paritranaya saadunaam vinashayasa dushkrudham dharma
samsthaba narthaya sambavami yuge yuge
Meaning :
Whenever evil over-takes the good and the world is sinking with sins at that time I will come to annihilate the evil and establish righteousness.
