All glories to Śrī Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga
A note of apology (by Srila Shyam Das Baba):
First of all I would like to declare that my intention is not to fight with anybody or dishonor anybody, but my honest intention is to establish śāstra siddhānta vichar on the basis of authentic scriptural evidences. With full patience and neutral mood please try to go through the following Thesis focusing on this subject matter of Kalki-avatār in this special Kali-yuga which is called Danya-kali, and if you like to reject or discard all my scriptural evidences to establish your own fanciful opinion, still I have no objection, because I am beyond any self-interest, only I wanted to give appropriate answer to your question about Bhagavān Kalki-avatār in this particular Kalikal.
Some evidences are given below in favour of Kalki-avatār in this particular Danya Kali-yuga
Gauḍīya Goṣṭhī Pati Śrī Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvami Ṭhākura Prabhupāda–Paramahaṁsa- Jagat Guru has given a statement in his Bhagavata-tatpary (The purport of Śrīmad-bhāgavataṁ) lecture about Śrī Kalki-avatār that –“Śrī Kalki Deva is the expression of utsāha (enthusiastic mood) rati vira rasa. With full enthusiastic mood Kalki Deva will kill those impious populations. To destroy impious population need a strong effort (enthusiastic mood).
From SB 2/7/38 we can get the evidence of Kalki-avatār—
yarhy ālayeṣv api satāṁ na hareḥ kathāḥ syuḥ
pāṣaṇḍino dvija-janā vṛṣalā nṛdevāḥ
svāhā svadhā vaṣaḍ iti sma giro na yatra
śāstā bhaviṣyati kaler bhagavān yugānte
ŚB 2.7.38
When the topics of the Lord are not heard in the houses of the devotees, when the brahmaṇas are heretical, the kings are śūdras and the words of sacrifice svāhā, svadhā and vaṣaḍ are not uttered, the Lord will appear as Kalki at the end of Kali-yuga as the punisher.
Commentary by Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura
This verse describes Kalki. Vṛṣala means śūdras. Nṛdevāḥ means kings. At the end of Kali-yuga (kaler yugānte) the Lord will appear. The particular avatāras should be seen in proper perspective. In the conversation between Brahmā and Nārada, Varaha and others had already appeared in the past. Some of the Manvantara-avatāras had appeared in the past and some will appear in the future. Dhanvantari and Paraśurāma existed then. Rama and others are in the future. In the verses, sometimes the tenses do not reflect this, because of necessities of meter.
From Śrīmad Bhagavat Mahāpurāṇa we can see the deteriorating situation in Kali-yuga day by day, which is really horrible.
kṣīyamāṇeṣu deheṣu
dehināṁ kali-doṣataḥ

(ŚB 12.2.12-16)
By the time the Age of Kali ends, the bodies of all creatures will be greatly reduced in size, and the religious principles of followers of varṇāśrama will be greatly reduced in size and the religious principles of followers of varṇāśrama will be ruined. The path of the Vedas will be completely forgotten in human society, and so-called religion will be mostly atheistic. The kings will mostly be thieves, the occupations of men will be stealing, lying and needless violence, and all the social classes will be reduced to the lowest level of śūdras. Cows will be like goats, spiritual hermitages will be no different from mundane houses, and family ties will extend no further than the immediate bonds of marriage. Most plants and herbs will be tiny, and all trees will appear like dwarf śamī trees. Clouds will be full of lightning, homes will be devoid of piety, and all human beings will have become like asses. At that time, the Supreme Personality of Godhead will appear on the earth. Acting with the power of pure spiritual goodness, He will rescue eternal religion.
itthaṁ nṛ-tiryag-ṛṣi-deva-jhaṣāvatārair
lokān vibhāvayasi haṁsi jagat pratīpān
dharmaṁ mahā-puruṣa pāsi yugānuvṛttaṁ
channaḥ kalau yad abhavas tri-yugo ’tha sa tvam
(ŚB 7.9.38)
In this way, my Lord, You appear in various incarnations as a human being, an animal, a great saint, a demigod, a fish or a tortoise, thus maintaining the entire creation in different planetary systems and killing the demoniac principles. According to the age, O my Lord, You protect the principles of religion. In the Age of Kali, however, You do not assert Yourself as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and therefore You are known as Triyuga, or the Lord who appears in three yugas.
carācara-guror viṣṇor
īśvarasyākhilātmanaḥ
dharma-trāṇāya sādhūnāṁ
janma karmāpanuttaye
(ŚB 12.2.17)
Lord Viṣṇu — the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the spiritual master of all moving and nonmoving living beings, and the Supreme Soul of all — takes birth to protect the principles of religion and to relieve His saintly devotees from the reactions of furtive activities.
śambhala-grāma-mukhyasya
brāhmaṇasya mahātmanaḥ
bhavane viṣṇuyaśasaḥ

(ŚB 12.2.18)
Lord Kalki will appear in the home of the most eminent brāhmaṇa of Śambhala village, the great soul Viṣṇuyaśā.
aśvam āśu-gam āruhya

(ŚB 12.2.19-20)
Lord Kalki, the Lord of the universe, will mount His swift horse Devadatta and, sword in hand, travel over the earth exhibiting His eight mystic opulence He will kill by the millions those thieves who have dared dress as kings.
devāpiḥ śāntanor bhrātā
maruś cekṣvāku-vaṁśa-jaḥ

(ŚB 12.2.37)
Devāpi, the brother of Mahārāja Śāntanu, and Maru, the descendant of Ikṣvāku, both possess great mystic strength and are living even now in the village of Kalāpa.
tāv ihaitya kaler ante
vāsudevānuśikṣitau
varṇāśrama-yutaṁ dharmaṁ
pūrva-vat prathayiṣyataḥ
(ŚB 12.2.38)
At the end of the Age of Kali, these two kings, having received instruction directly from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vāsudeva, will return to human society and reestablish the eternal religion of mankind, characterized by the divisions of varṇa and āśrama, just as it was before.
layaḥ prākṛtiko hy eṣa
puruṣāvyaktayor yadā
śaktayaḥ sampralīyante
vivaśāḥ kāla-vidrutāḥ
ŚB 12.4.22)
This is the annihilation called prākṛtika, during which the energies belonging to the Supreme Person and His unmanifest material nature, disassembled by the force of time, are deprived of their potencies and merge together totally.
ya eṣāṁ puruṣaṁ sākṣād
ātma-prabhavam īśvaram
na bhajanty avajānanti
sthānād bhraṣṭāḥ patanty adhaḥ
(ŚB 11.5.3)
If any of the members of the four varṇas and four āśramas fail to worship or intentionally disrespect the Personality of Godhead, who is the source of their own creation, they will fall down from their position into a hellish state of life.
dūre hari-kathāḥ kecid
dūre cācyuta-kīrtanāḥ
striyaḥ śūdrādayaś caiva
te ’nukampyā bhavādṛśām
(ŚB 11.5.4)
There are many persons who have little opportunity to take part in discussions about the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari, and thus it is difficult for them to chant His infallible glories. Persons such as women, śūdras and other fallen classes always deserve the mercy of great personalities like yourself.
iti dvāpara urv-īśa
stuvanti jagad-īśvaram
nānā-tantra-vidhānena
kalāv api tathā śṛṇu
(ŚB 11.5.31)
O King, in this way people in Dvāpara-yuga glorified the Lord of the Universe. In Kali-yuga also people worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead by following various regulations of the revealed scriptures. Now kindly hear of this from me.
kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ
sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam
yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair
yajanti hi su-medhasaḥ
(ŚB 11.5.32)
In the Age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the names of Kṛṣṇa. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons and confidential companions.
Śrī Jayadeva Gosvāmī has written in his Dasavatara Stotra—
mleccha-nivaha-nidhane kalayasi karavalam
dhumaketum iva kim api karalam
kesava dhrita-kalki-sarira jaya jagadisa hare
(10) O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari, who have assumed the form of Kalki! All glories to You!
You appear like a comet and carry a terrifying sword for bringing about the annihilation of the wicked barbarian men at the end of the Kali-yuga.
This is Danya Kali-yuga because Śrī Harinam Sankīrtan-pitā the golden Avatār has come down in this particular Kali-yuga — which is surely very very special.
As per Śrī Śrī Cc Ādi 4.10 the basic reason and the special reason of His appearance already given clearly.
pūrṇa bhagavān avatāre yei kāle
āra saba avatāra tāṅte āsi’ mile
When the complete Supreme Personality of Godhead descends, all other incarnations of the Lord meet together within Him.
From Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā we know about the following commitment by Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa in front of Arjuna about His appearing in this material world to re-establish dharma.
yadā yadā hi dharmasya
glānir bhavati bhārata
abhyutthānam adharmasya
tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham
(Bg. 4.7)
Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O Descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion – at that time I descend Myself.
If about this particular (very very rare and special avatār) avatār already mentioned clearly in different śāstras (Śrīmad-bhagavata, Śrutis, Smṛtis, Purāṇas, Saṁhitās etc. ) in this particular Kalikal, then also there should have written documents in different śāstras about the absence of Kalki avatār in this particular Kali. But unfortunately nowhere nothing mentioned about this, even this is not supported by the Six Gosvāmīs or Śrīla Saccidananda Bhaktivinod Ṭhākura or Śrīla Prabhupāda.
If we can accept such a vichar that due to the presence of all avatārs in Śrī Gaurāṅga Mahāprabhu, separately Kali avatār is not possible, then you will have to ignore Buddha avatār also to support your unstable siddhānta vichar, which is quite impossible because Buddha avatār already came (appeared) and gone away just after Sri Krsna gone from this material world at the time of Dvarpa Yuga end.
Sriman Mahaprabhu being Svayam Rupa Bhagavan — If this kind of conception is supported by you that due to the presence of all avatāras in vayaṁ-rūpa Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu, in this particular Kali Yuga no Kalki avatār is possible, then also about Buddha Avatar we should apply this judgment, which is really impractical. Nowhere any such scriptural evidence is found that in this Danya-kali no Kalki avatār is possible, on the contrary Kali avatār is supported in Śrīmad-bhāgavatam, Viṣṇu Purāṇa or Bhavisya Purāṇa (Kalki Purāṇa) etc. everywhere.
This very very special golden avatār is really very very rare, but still we can get all supporting evidences in Śrīmad-bhāgavatam, Mahābhārata, Upaniṣad or in different Purāṇas and Sub-Purāṇas etc. that particularly in this Kali-yuga Śrī Kṛṣṇa coming in the form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Some scriptural evidences are given below.
kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ
sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam
yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair
yajanti hi su-medhasaḥ
(ŚB 11.5.32)
By those persons having fine intellect the incarnation of Godhead will be worshiped by Nama Sankirtan Yagya jointly in this age of Kali who constantly will be singing the name of Kṛṣṇa. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons and confidential companions.
āsan varṇās trayo hy asya
gṛhṇato ’nuyugaṁ tanūḥ
śuklo raktas tathā pīta
idānīṁ kṛṣṇatāṁ gataḥ
(ŚB 10.8.13)
Your son Kṛṣṇa appears as an incarnation in every millennium. In the past, He assumed three different colors — white, red and yellow — and now He has appeared in a blackish color. [In another Dvāpara-yuga, He appeared (as Lord Rāmacandra) in the color of śuka, a parrot. All such incarnations have now assembled in Kṛṣṇa.]
itthaṁ nṛ-tiryag-ṛṣi-deva-jhaṣāvatārair
lokān vibhāvayasi haṁsi jagat pratīpān
dharmaṁ mahā-puruṣa pāsi yugānuvṛttaṁ
channaḥ kalau yad abhavas tri-yugo ’tha sa tvam
(ŚB 7.9.38)
In this way, my Lord, You appear in various incarnations as a human being, an animal, a great saint, a demigod, a fish or a tortoise, thus maintaining the entire creation in different planetary systems and killing the demoniac principles. According to the age, O my Lord, You protect the principles of religion. In the Age of Kali, however, You do not assert Yourself as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and therefore You are known as Triyuga, or the Lord who appears in three yugas.
satye daitya-kuladhi-nasa-samaye
simhordhva-martyakrtis
tretāyāṁ dasa-kandharam

gopalan paripalayan vraja-pure
bharam haran dvapare
gaurāṅgaḥ priya-kīrtanaḥ
kali-yuge caitanya-nāma-prabhuḥ
(Narasiṁha Purāṇa)
The Supreme Lord who assumed the form of a half-man, half-lion in the Satya-yuga to cure a dreadful disease that had devastated the Daityas, and who appearing as Rama conquered the ten-headed Ravana in the Tretā-yuga, and who removed the burden of the earth in the Dvāpara-yuga and protected the cowherd men of Vraja-pura, will be the Lord by name Caitanya in the Kali-yuga. He will have a golden form and He will take pleasure in chanting the Lord’s holy names-kaleḥ
prathama-sandhyāyāṁ gaurangotham mahi-tale
bhāgīrathī-taṭe ramie bhaviṣyāmi śacī-sutaḥ
(From Padma Purāṇa)
I shall take birth as the son of Śacī assuming a golden form in a beautiful place on the bank of the Bhāgīrathī (Ganges) on the earth in the first part of Kali-yuga.
Mayapura, the birth place of Śrī Caitanya is on the banks of the Ganges. There is a similar verse in the Brahma Purāṇa predicting the appearance of Lord Caitanya.
aham eva kalau vipra nityaṁ pracchanna-vigrahaḥ
bhagavad-bhakta-rūpeṇa lokān raksami sarvadā
(Nārada Purāṇa)
O brahmaṇa, I will deliver all those people, concealing myself in the form of a devotee of the Lord in Kali-yuga.
divija bhuvi jayadhvam jayadhvam bhakta-rūpiṇaḥ
kalau sankīrtana-rambhe bhaviṣyāmi śacī-sutaḥ
O demigods, please advent on the earth as devotees in Kali-yuga. To inaugurate sankīrtana, I will incarnate as the son of Śacī.
ānandāśru-kāla-roma-harsa-pūrnaṁ tapo-dhana
sarve mama eva drakṣyanti kalau sannyāsa-rūpiṇaṁ
(Bhavishya Purāṇa)
O austere sage, everyone will see My transcendental form as a sannyāsi in the age of Kali. I will be displaying symptoms like shedding tears of bliss and hairs standing on end out of ecstasy.
If you are going to point out the direct scriptural evidences of the golden Gaura Avatār –who is known as Sankīrtana pita from different śāstras like Śrīmad-bhāgavataṁ or Bhavisya Purāṇa etc. Then why you are not ready to accept all those diffrent evidences from different śāstras in favour of Bhagavān Kalki-avatār who is supposed to instal Satya-yuga after Kali Yuga is over.
Lord Caitanya Deva was always merged in the ocean of transcendental ecstasy while chanting the names of Kṛṣṇa and dancing during sankīrtana. He felt intense separation from the Suprem Lord Sri Krsna and due to those devotional feelings displayed various ecstatic symptoms of pure love for Kṛṣṇa, such as incessant tears, voice choking up, hairs on the body standing on end etc.
paurṇamāsyāṁ phālgunasya phālguni-rkṣa -yogataḥ
bhavisye gaura-rūpeṇa śacī-garbhe purāṇadarat
(Vayu Purāṇa)
On the full moon day of the month of Phālguna, conjoined with the star Phalguni, I will appear in a golden form begotten by Purāṇadara in the womb of Śacī.
Lord Caitanya was born on the full moon day in the month of Phālguna. His father was known by the names Jagannatha Miśra and Purāṇadara Miśra.
svarnadi-tīraṁ āsthāya navadvīpe janasraye
tatra dvija-kulaṁ prāpto bhaviṣyāmi janalaye
I will appear in a brahmaṇa family in Navadvīpa, by the shore of the Ganges.
mahān prabhur vai puruṣaḥ sattvasyaiṣa pravartakaḥ
sunirmalām imāṃ prāptim īśāno jyotir avyayaḥ
(Svetasvatār 3.12)
He, indeed, is the great Puruṣā, all pervasive and all-powerful. He also inspires the mind to attain the state of purity. He is the Supreme Lord, self-luminous and imperishable.
yadā paśyaḥ paśyate rukmavarṇaṃ kartāramīśaṃ puruṣaṃ brahmayonim
tadā vidvānpuṇyapāpe vidhūya nirañjanaḥ paramaṃ sāmyamupaiti
(Mundaka Upaniṣad Verse 3.1.3 )
When the seer sees him of golden line, the creator, Lord, Puruṣā, and the source of (Apara) Brahmā, then the knower, having shaken off all deeds of merit and sin, attains supreme equality, being untouched with stain.
suvarṇa-varṇo hemāṅgo varāṅgaś candanāṅgadī
sannyāsa-kṛc chamaḥ śānto niṣṭhā-śānti-parāyaṇaḥ
“When Kṛṣṇa appears as Śrī Caitanya (Śrī Gaurāṅga), in His early pastimes His complexion is golden (suvarṇa-varṇa), His limbs are the color of molten white gold (hemāṅga), His body is extremely beautiful (varangas), and He is decorated with sandalwood pulp (candanāṅgadī). He accepts sannyāsa (sannyāsa-krt) and shows equanimity (sama). He is peaceful (śānta). His mind is always fixed on Kṛṣṇa and thus He is niṣṭhā, or fixed, in performing the great sacrifice of the holy name of Kṛṣṇa. He silences the non-devotees and impersonalists who are opposed to the service of the Lord by promoting the cause of devotion. Thus He distributes real peace. He is therefore an abode of the highest spiritual peace and devotion.”
aham eva kvacid brahman
sannyāsāśramam āśritaḥ
hari-bhaktiṁ grāhayāmi
kalau pāpa-hatān narān
(CC Ādi 3.83)
“O learned brāhmaṇa, sometimes I accept the renounced order of life to induce the fallen people of the Age of Kali to accept devotional service to the Lord.”
In the Adi Purāṇa and in the Nārada Purāṇa, the Supreme Person says:
aham eva dvija-śreṣṭho
nityaṁ pracchanna-vigrahaḥ
bhagavad-bhakta-rūpeṇa
lokaṁ raksami sarvadā
“I shall advent in the form of a brahmaṇa devotee [aham eva dvija-śreṣṭho] and I shall hide my factual identity [prachanna vigrahaḥ]. I shall deliver all the worlds [lokaṁ raksami sarvadā].”
antaḥ kṛṣṇaṃ bahir-gauraṃ darśitāṅgādi-vaibhavam
kalau saokīrtanadyaiḥ smaḥ kṛṣṇa-caitanyam-āśritāḥ
(Tattva-sandarbha 2)
I take shelter of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu, who is Kṛṣṇa Himself, thinking of Himself. He is internally Kṛṣṇa blackish but externally, he appears in golden complexion. In this age of Kalī, Kṛṣṇa appears as Kṛṣṇa Caitanya, simultaneously manifesting His eternal associates, opulences, expansions, and incarnations. In this way, he preaches the process of Kṛṣṇa consciousness by performing sankīrtana.
yad advaitaṁ brahmopaniṣadi tad apy asya tanu-bhā
ya ātmāntar-yāmī puruṣa iti so ‘syāṁśa-vibhavaḥ
ṣaḍ-aiśvaryaiḥ pūrṇo ya iha bhagavān sa svayam ayaṁ
na caitanyāt krṣṇāj jagati para-tattvaṁ param iha
(Śrī C.c. Adi 1/3)
What the Upaniṣads describe as the impersonal Brahman is but the effulgence of His body, and the Lord known as the Supersoul is but His localized plenary portion. He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa Himself, full with six opulences. He is the Absolute Truth, and no other truth is greater than or equal to Him.
namo mahā-vadānyāya
kṛṣṇa-prema-pradāya te
kṛṣṇāya kṛṣṇa-caitanya-
nāmne gaura-tviṣe namaḥ
(Cc Madhya 19.53)
“O most munificent incarnation! You are Kṛṣṇa Himself appearing as Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu. You have assumed the golden color of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, and You are widely distributing pure love of Kṛṣṇa. We offer our respectful obeisances unto You.
anarpita-carīṁ cirāt karuṇayāvatīrṇaḥ kalau

hariḥ puraṭa-sundara-dyuti-kadamba-sandīpitaḥ
sadā hṛdaya-kandare sphuratu vaḥ śacī-nandanaḥ
(Cc Ādi 1.4)
May the Supreme Lord who is known as the son of Śrīmatī Śacī-devī be transcendentally situated in the innermost chambers of your heart. Resplendent with the radiance of molten gold, He has appeared in the Age of Kali by His causeless mercy to bestow what no incarnation has ever offered before: the most sublime and radiant mellow of devotional service, the mellow of conjugal love.
rādhā kṛṣṇa-praṇaya-vikṛtir hlādinī śaktir asmād
ekātmānāv api bhuvi purā deha-bhedaṁ gatau tau
caitanyākhyaṁ prakaṭam adhunā tad-dvayaṁ caikyam āptaṁ
rādhā-bhāva-dyuti-suvalitaṁ naumi kṛṣṇa-svarūpam
(Cc Ādi 1.5)
The loving affairs of Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are transcendental manifestations of the Lord’s internal pleasure-giving potency. Although Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are one in Their identity, previously They separated Themselves. Now these two transcendental identities have again united, in the form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya. I bow down to Him, who has manifested Himself with the sentiment and complexion of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī although He is Kṛṣṇa Himself.
śrī-rādhāyāḥ praṇaya-mahimā kīdṛśo vānayaivā-
svādyo yenādbhuta-madhurimā kīdṛśo vā madīyaḥ
saukhyaṁ cāsyā mad-anubhavataḥ kīdṛśaṁ veti lobhāt
tad-bhāvāḍhyaḥ samajani śacī-garbha-sindhau harīnduḥ
(CC Ādi 1.6)
Desiring to understand the glory of Rādhārāṇī’s love, the wonderful qualities in Him that She alone relishes through Her love, and the happiness She feels when She realizes the sweetness of His love, the Supreme Lord Hari, richly endowed with Her emotions, appeared from the womb of Śrīmatī Śacī-devī, as the moon appears from the ocean.
Etc.etc. so many documents we can collect from different śāstras in favour of the Golden Avatār, but not even such a single scriptural evidence can be found in favour of no Kalki avatār in this special Danya Kali-yuga.
Even in Bhavisya Purāṇa by Śrīla Vyasadeva Gosvāmī (Kalki Purāṇa is a part of that) there is no such comment that this Kalikal is devoid of Kalki-avatār. But this Kalikal is surely very very special because of this Golden Avatār Sankīrtan-pīṭha. This is already confirmed everywhere in different śāstras like Śrīmad-bhāgavataṁ, Mahābhārata, Vishnu Purāṇa, different Upaniṣadas and in different Purāṇas. As per example from Śrīmad-bhāgavataṁ we know the absolute glorifications of Śrī Nama Sankīrtan
kṛte yad dhyāyato viṣṇuṁ
tretāyāṁ yajato makhaiḥ
dvāpare paricaryāyāṁ
kalau tad dhari-kīrtanāt
(ŚB 12.3.52)
Whatever result was obtained in Satya-yuga by meditating on Viṣṇu, in Tretā-yuga by performing sacrifices, and in Dvāpara-yuga by serving the Lord’s lotus feet can be obtained in Kali-yuga simply by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa Mahā-mantra.
kaler doṣa-nidhe rājann
asti hy eko mahān guṇaḥ
kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya
mukta-saṅgaḥ paraṁ vrajet
(ŚB 12.3.51)
My dear King, although Kali-yuga is an ocean of faults, there is still one good quality about this age: Simply by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa Mahā-mantra, one can become free from material bondage and be promoted to the transcendental kingdom.
harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam
Kalou nastyeva nastyeva nastyeva gatiranyatha
Brihad Naradiya Purāṇa)
“The name of Hari, the name of Hari, Oh, the Name of Hari alone; nothing else in Kali-yuga, nothing else, nothing else can lead us to the goal.”
On the basis of all those scriptural evidences, we can come to the conclusion that only by chanting Harinam Kirtan people can cross over this material ocean very easily in this particular Kalikal, though we know that this is the same prescription which is also applicable for all other Kalis (as per SB 12/3/52 already given above). What to speak more, this can prove to be most effective in all other Yugas also. We know that different different type of Yuga dharmas are prescribed for different different Yuga. But still almost everybody seen to be expressing aversive attitude towards this divine medicine which is called divine panacea to get rid of Kali, in fact they like to invite Kali irrespective of their own post or position, I mean even after entering into the renounced order or even after sitting in Acharya Asan. Is anybody there who can prove himself out of Kali (Maya)? — That is the most vital question at present. Then who- how can get rid of Kali ? Danya Kali surely cannot give us such open dirty approval for doing illegal activities, as are usually seen all over the world at present. Maha Bhagavat Śrīla Parīkṣit Mahārāja tolerated Kali only because of the most exclusive quality in it – that is– only by Nama-sankīrtan one can cross over this material ocean of Maya in general, and those who are very sincere devotees — they can enter into Vaikuntha Jagat which is clarified by the word –“………mukta-saṅgaḥ paraṁ vrajet “, that is why Śrīman Mahāprabhu said that our absolute upasya vastu is “paraṁ vijayate srī kṛṣṇa nama Sankirtanam” described inside Śrīmad-bhāgavataṁ at different places or in Padma Purāṇa Bhagavat glorification part etc. So Kalki-avatār will come surely to install Satya -yuga as is confirmed in Śrīmad -bhāgavataṁ and in other śāstras like Bhavisya Purāṇa etc.
As per Śrī Caitanya-bhāgavataṁ Madhya Kanda 23/74 to 78 ślokas, we can see the direct advice by
Śrīman Mahāprabhu that –
prabhu bole , krsna bhakti hauka sabara
krsna – nama –guna bai na baliha ara
The Lord said to them, “May you all attain devotional service to Krsna. Do not speak about anything other than the names and qualities of Krsna”
apane sabare prabhu kare upadese
krsna nma maha mantra sunaha harise
The Lord personally instructed everyone, “Hear the Hare Krsna maha-mantra and be happy”.
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare/ Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
prabhu bale, “kahilena ei maha-mantra
iha japa giya sabe kariya nirbandha
The Lord continued, „This is the maha-mantra. All of you go and chant this mantra according to a prescribed number”.
iha haite sarva-siddhi haibe sabara
sarva-ksana bala ithe vidhi nahi ara
“By doing so, everyone will attain all perfection. Always chant , there is no other prescription
As per Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta Antya 16/69 śloka we can see the direct comment of Śrīman Mahāprabhu that –
prabhu kahe,–“āmi nāma jagate laoyāiluṅ
sthāvare paryanta kṛṣṇa-nāma kahāiluṅ
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu said, “I have induced the whole world to take to the holy name of Kṛṣṇa. I have induced even trees and those objects like hills and mountains etc.to chant the holy name.
In spite of all those hopeful indication of sure success in this age of Danya Kali, we should also remember the most important advice of Śrīman Mahāprabhu that without sadana-bhajan nobody can get sādhya vastu.
“sādhya vast sādhana vina keho nahi paye” (From Ray Ramananda Samvad)
Śrīla Narottama Ṭhākura Mahshaya has given very very clear indication that those who are taking shelter unto the Lotus feet of sad Guru (I mean Śrī Bhagavān) only they can never be rejected by Kṛṣṇa, but all the rest are going to die unessecerely . The vers given below—
“āśraya loya bhaje tare kṛṣṇa nāhi tyaje, are sab more akaran…..”
So anyway, those who all are devoid of ānugatya they are more than beast (The Prabhupāda told), so surely they will be under the dirty influence of Kali. That is why surely Kalki avatār will come down to give severe punishment to those dirty wicked irreligious people to install Satya-yuga at the end of this Kali. kirtanam”.
Day by day the horrible situation going to be created in Kalikal already. Not that we can start open dancing out of tremendous joy simply because this is danya Kali, and we need not do any sadhan-bhajan. According to the usual system set by the Supreme Lord each and every Avatār can come down time to time without any fail on regular basis. Only the Yuga avatār of this particular Kali -yuga appeared in the transcendental vigraha of the vayaṁ-rūpa Bhagavān (Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu) because of the coincidental moment of appearing of both the Avatāras. Usually, all Avatārs are staying inside vayaṁ-rūpa Bhagavad Vigraha (Nanda Nandan Śrī Kṛṣṇa who is coming in the form of Śrī Sachcidnandan Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu). This cannot be the excuse for why this particular Kali-yuga can be devoid of Kali avatār.
Thanks a lot
Truly yours in the service of Śrī Śrī Guru-Gaurāṅga and Go-Mata
