A diarchy of two united souls. In a new act of the drama of the world The united Two began a greater age. An hour began, the matrix of new Time. 63 6. The Kalki Avatar In Hinduism, the Kalki Avatar is thought of as the last of the succession of Avatars, who will come at the end of the present Kali Yuga. The victor of the last, decisive battle with the hostile forces, he... birth to a race which shall follow: the Krita Aga or Age of Purity.” 65 Sri Aurobindo has closely related the Kalki Avatar with the Krishna Avatar. “Krishna is the Anandamaya; he supports the evolution through the overmind leading it towards Ananda.” 66 “… The last Avatar, Kalki, only accomplishes the work Krishna began – he fulfils in power the great struggle which the previous Avatars prepared ...
... ti with Kalki. Kalki, of the Purānas as we have them today, is a figure by himself, and they conceive him without conceiving Viśvasphurti as an Avatar. The latter's Avatarhood is no part of the existing Purānic scheme of the Kaliyuga end. It belongs to the context of a close of the Kaliyuga, that was once envisaged but later hazed off and is now overlooked. Viśvasphurti is not Kalki: he is only... will exist in succession through Fate. They will be destitute of righteousness, affection and wealth. Mingled with them will be Ārya and Mleccha folk everywhere..." Then let us note what the Avatar Kalki, who is supposed to come and wind up the Kaliyuga, will do. We learn from PatiP that this Avatar of Vishnu will annihilate various peoples such as Yavanas and Tushāras and 1. Ibid., p. 74... and subdue his body: after resigning his body he will go to Indra's world." No historical post-Krishna figure in the Purānas is suggested to be divine as is this king. Like both Krishna and Kalki he is equated with Vishnu, and he is a conqueror like them, and his death most explicitly resembles Kalki's. Certainly, a mysterious Avatar is before us. If, from the many versions of his name, we ...
... Hindus, Kalki, is represented as riding a white, winged horse and brandishing the flaming sword of Truth. But “too much importance need not be attached to the details about Kalki”, wrote Sri Aurobindo in a letter, “they are rather symbolic than an attempt to prophesy details of future history. What is expressed is something that has to come, but it is symbolically indicated, no more.” 36 Kalki, of course... course, was Sri Aurobindo – but people in the present time do not realise that Kalki had already come to wage his battle. For he had not come as expected in one male body, but in the bodies of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, who was herself no less a warrior. For are two of the personalities of the Great Mother not Durga and Kali? Out, out with the mind and its candle flares, Light, light the suns ...

Absolute, but the Supermind. I consider that in trying to overshoot, Buddha like Shankara made a mistake, cutting away the dynamic side of the liberation. Therefore there has to be a correction by Kalki. I was of course dealing with the Ten Avatars as a "parable of the evolution", and only explaining the interpretation we can put on it from that point of view. It was not my own view of the thing... having a view to the fact that one can make the attempt to reach the Highest on the neti neti as well as the iti iti line. Too much importance need not be attached to the details about Kalki—they are rather symbolic than an attempt to prophesy details of future history. What is expressed is something that has to come, but it is symbolically indicated, no more. So too, too much weight ...
... Yet leaving out his warrior side lessens and therefore deforms his total image. He was after all the Avatar of the Supramental, which is none other than the last Avatar in the Hindu tradition: Kalki, expected to come on a white winged horse brandishing the sword of the spiritual power (and whom nobody perceived when he did come). If it is true that because of his effort the Supramental has... descended into the Earth's atmosphere, and if because of this descent the earthly evolution is entering the "upper hemisphere" of the Truth-Consciousness, then Sri Aurobindo cannot but have been Kalki. It is then unthinkable that he could have accomplished his mission without the-severest and continuous battles against the hostile forces in possession of the world. One reads about this in the deeply... I have nowhere read a thorough comment on this canto. Even its importance is rarely referred to. For the argument's sake we leave out the Mother's role in all this and the fact that the Kalki Avatar proved to be a complete, double-poled Avatar— something the ancient Hindu tradition could not foresee. 27 Savitri, p. 210. 28 Ibid., p. 219.
