GURU NANAK PREDICTED RISE OF ANOTHER DISCIPLE OF AKAL PURAKH

Kalki Avatar Predicted in Sikh Scriptures:

 GURU NANAK PREDICTED RISE OF ANOTHER DISCIPLE OF AKAL PURAKH

Is he the same who is Kalki Avatar, Messiah and Saviour?

  

It is certain that Guru Nanak, spoke of the rise of a disciple of Akal Purakh - in the Gurbani Hymn that is in Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji at the page 722-723.  This prediction was meant for during the coming of time of truth, which is none other than the Satyug.

 

The question is whether this person is same as the one who is the “Kalki Avatar” as mentioned in Hindu Scriptures?

 

Is he the Saviour and the Messiah who’s coming is also predicted in some other religions and by Nostradamus? 

 

Background

 

The hymn that mentions the rise of this saintly person is part of the Sabads in Sri Guru Granth Sahib. The scholars had tried to interpret and translated this loosely with subsequent historic personality ignoring the other indicative words of the Guru in the same hymn so this remains overlooked. Guru Nanak not only mentioned indicated the time but the purpose and the nature of era in the hymn.

 

It was around 1520 AD that Guru Nanak witnessed the Mughal invasion of India by Babur and the brutalities that he eye-witnessed first-hand during the latter's invasion of Saidpur, now called Eminabad, in Gujranwala district of Pakistan. Guru Nanak wrote a number of hymns about this and in one of it, he spoke of the rise of a disciple of the male (Mard).  This hymn is translated below and elaborated.

 

It would be appropriate that other sources of a similar prediction in other religious scriptures also be examined so as to

 

When it is compared with predictions in other external sources then it is clearly seen this is an uncanny prediction that has mentions in other religious writings. The Gurbani Hymn mention is significant because these are the word that have come from Akal Purakh ownself through the mouths of the Guru’s. These are not ordinary Guru teachers but Guru’s that have divine Jyote within them. They are one with the Source. Both are same. These Gurus are hidden Avatars with a specific spiritual purpose of initiating transformation in humanity by bringing focus back on Truth. This point would be explained again in detail.

 

The predictive mention is of the coming of a Spiritual Person who is disciple of Purakh, the all-pervading Male.  The Gurbani’s spiritual approach is that of return of separated Souls by using the simile of marriage between the male groom and the bride. Here the bride soul coming out of illusion of separation returns with love to the One all-pervading Nirankar, a Purakh meaning one great male in creation. This is then a marriage, a togetherness.  This a simile that tells that all souls on earth are same in spiritual advancement irrespective of being born in a male or a female body. The return to the Purakh begins by becoming first a disciple (Sikh) of the Purakh. The relationship then is of Sikh and Guru during the guided Journey. The Sikh and the Guru become same and the person transforms to be an Akal Moorat within, meaning an aware Eternal light of the all-pervading light.

This person mentioned in this hymn would be a disciple (Sikh) of the Akal Purakh and rise to be one with have Akal Purakh by surrender of own individual self. Within him would be Akal Purakh.

 

It is uncanny that in some Hindu writings the description of Kalki Avatar is so similar to what Gurbani mentions. It may be mentioned that word Hindu originated a later date in history. The original ancient spiritual practice is known as Sanatan, the eternal truth teachings. Truth being only truth the Gurbani reveals the same truth in a more purified way devoid of any distortion in description. Gurbani uses many Sanatan words with the original meanings. 

 

The Hindu scriptures prophesise the coming of Kalki, the tenth Avatar, who would be final incarnation of the God Vishnu. This Avatar would end the darkest and destructive period to remove adharma (unrighteousness) and usher in the Satya Yuga. The description and details of Kalki are different among various Puranas. The prediction is shrouded in mystery. The prophecies in the Saint Achyutananda Maharaj's book 'Bhavishya Malika,' published 500 years ago gives more elaborate description.

 

The Gurbani Hymn by Guru Nanak (who is a Nirankari Jyote) states that the coming time is that of the Truth. He brought for humanity the Spiritual Mantra for becoming True One self.  This above clarification is necessary to understand in clarity the prediction.

 

THE HYMN

 

The Hymn from Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji is first translated below and then explained.

 

ਤਿਲੰਗ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ॥  Tilang 1st Guru.

 

ਜੈਸੀ ਮੈ ਆਵੈ ਖਸਮ ਕੀ ਬਾਣੀ ਤੈਸੜਾ ਕਰੀ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਵੇ ਲਾਲੋ ॥

As the word of the Lord comes to me, that only is the knowledge being presented, O Lalo.

 

ਪਾਪ ਕੀ ਜੰਞ ਲੈ ਕਾਬਲਹੁ ਧਾਇਆ ਜੋਰੀ ਮੰਗੈ ਦਾਨੁ ਵੇ ਲਾਲੋ ॥

Bringing the marriage party of sin from Kabul has invaded and demands perforce plundering, O Lalo.

 

ਸਰਮੁ ਧਰਮੁ ਦੁਇ ਛਪਿ ਖਲੋਏ ਕੂੜੁ ਫਿਰੈ ਪਰਧਾਨੁ ਵੇ ਲਾਲੋ ॥

Modesty and righteousness both stand hidden, and falsehood moves about as the leader, O Lalo.

 

ਕਾਜੀਆ ਬਾਮਣਾ ਕੀ ਗਲ ਥਕੀ ਅਗਦੁ ਪੜੈ ਸੈਤਾਨੁ ਵੇ ਲਾਲੋ ॥

The role of the Qazis and the Brahmans is over and the Satan now reads the marriage rites.

 

ਮੁਸਲਮਾਨੀਆ ਪੜਹਿ ਕਤੇਬਾ ਕਸਟ ਮਹਿ ਕਰਹਿ ਖੁਦਾਇ ਵੇ ਲਾਲੋ ॥

The Muslim women read the Quran and in suffering call upon God, O Lalo.

 

ਜਾਤਿ ਸਨਾਤੀ ਹੋਰਿ ਹਿਦਵਾਣੀਆ ਏਹਿ ਭੀ ਲੇਖੈ ਲਾਇ ਵੇ ਲਾਲੋ ॥

The Hindu women of high caste and others of low caste, are put in the same account, O Lalo.

 

ਖੂਨ ਕੇ ਸੋਹਿਲੇ ਗਾਵੀਅਹਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਰਤੁ ਕਾ ਕੁੰਗੂ ਪਾਇ ਵੇ ਲਾਲੋ ॥੧॥

Says Nanak, the eulogies of murder are sung, and the saffron of blood is sprinkled, O Lalo.

 

ਸਾਹਿਬ ਕੇ ਗੁਣ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਗਾਵੈ ਮਾਸ ਪੁਰੀ ਵਿਚਿ ਆਖੁ ਮਸੋਲਾ ॥

Nanak sings the glories of the Lord in the city of corpses and speaks of righteousness.

 

ਜਿਨਿ ਉਪਾਈ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਵਾਈ ਬੈਠਾ ਵੇਖੈ ਵਖਿ ਇਕੇਲਾ ॥

HE, who has created colourful pleasurable attachments, beholds sitting apart alone.

 

ਸਚਾ ਸੋ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਸਚੁ ਤਪਾਵਸੁ ਸਚੜਾ ਨਿਆਉ ਕਰੇਗੁ ਮਸੋਲਾ ॥

True is HE, the Lord and true are HIS decision, and true justice would be done by HIM.

 

ਕਾਇਆ ਕਪੜੁ ਟੁਕੁ ਟੁਕੁ ਹੋਸੀ ਹਿਦੁਸਤਾਨੁ ਸਮਾਲਸੀ ਬੋਲਾ ॥

The body cloth would be torn into pieces and shreds; then the Hindustan would remember what is said.

 

ਆਵਨਿ ਅਠਤਰੈ ਜਾਨਿ ਸਤਾਨਵੈ ਹੋਰੁ ਭੀ ਉਠਸੀ ਮਰਦ ਕਾ ਚੇਲਾ ॥

With coming of seventy-eight and going of ninety-seven, would rise another disciple of the strong male.

 

ਸਚ ਕੀ ਬਾਣੀ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਆਖੈ ਸਚੁ ਸੁਣਾਇਸੀ ਸਚ ਕੀ ਬੇਲਾ ॥੨॥੩॥੫॥

The words of truth, says Nanak, would be told during the time of truth.

 

 

Explanation of the Hymn:

 

This hymn has two stanzas.

The first stanza describes the unrighteous invasion. The sins in the form of adharma, cruelty, suffering and killings by the invaders. These then became the rulers. All this is well known fact of history. What is significant is the first line in which Guru Nanak says that what he is stating is the exact knowledge that is coming from the Khasam ( husband Lord) from within.

In the spiritual tradition the Souls are said to be the brides who by being in love with the one husband lord, whom these meet, merge.  Gurbani names HIM as Purakh, the great male being. Purakh is experienced in creation by devotees as Satguru Purakh (True Guru), Karta Purakh (the Creator whose Will is pervading) and Akal Purakh (Eternal and only truth). The devotee has to become a Sikh (disciple) of the Purakh so as to receive true guidance and blessing of the divine. Only by being a disciple of inner truth would the deception and misinterpretations of Maya can be evaded during the path.

 

The Second stanza of the Hymn states that all that is happening is being observed by the Creator and HE would do justice. Further that these words would be remembered by Hindustan at appropriate time. The truth in the prophesy is always gets known and remembered when its time of happening arises. So, what was stated further would be remembered. The Creator observes all that is unjust and cruel. HE has to step in to remove suffering. The Coming of Guru Nanak was the beginning. He brought before humanity the true words of the ONE creator. The Mool Mantar describes the path of awakening and ascension. This is the base spirituality for the new age. This also is the true Sanatan knowledge of the old Hindu Saints.

 

The last two lines speak of the exact prophesy. Among the first of these two is the statement-

 

During the coming of Seventy-Eight (78) and going of Ninety-Seven (97) there would rise another disciple of the Mard, the strong and brave male.

 

The “another” word is significance here meaning there would be other disciples in general. Second are the years which are the second part of Vikrami calendar prevalent then. The Gurbani translators have   equated these dates with different events during history ignoring the full essence of the hymn.

 

The Year 2021 is in the Vikrami Calendar Year 2078. And the year 2041 is in the Vikrami calendar year 2097. (In the two calendars, the month of course overlap). The other prophesies also speak of the rise of the year of this saintly person being 2022 which is going of Vikrami year 2078.

 

Now the last line has the secret of the coming event. This line states that this would be the time when truth would be brought to light as the time would be of truth.  This is the end of Kalyug when justice would be served and the era of Satyug would arise.

 

Now this prophesy has to be seen along with other prophesies to bring to light associated truth.

 

References in Other Sikh Texts

 

It is in Dasam Granth a witing written by Guru Gobind Singh , The Chaubis Avatar (24 incarnations) that mentions Sage Matsyanra describing the appearance of Vishnu incarnations to fight evil, greed, violence and ignorance. Kalki as the twenty-fourth incarnation.

 

Kalki Avtar in Hindu Texts

 

Kalki is described in the Puranas as the Avatar ends the darkest and destructive period in Kalyug to remove adharma (unrighteousness) and ushering in the Satya Yuga. He is depicted as riding a white horse with a fiery sword. The description and details of Kalki are different among various texts.

Kalki is an Avatar of Vishnu meaning descent of the divine into the material realm of human existence. He after incarnation restarts a new cycle of time. A recent text named Kalki Purana that surfaced between 1500 to 1700 CE contains the Mythology of Kalki

 

In the Buddhist Text Kalachakra Tantra, the righteous kings are called Kalki living in Shambhala. Kalki is called "Rudra Cakrin" and is predicted to end the chaos and degeneration by assembling a large army to eradicate a barbarian army.

The descriptive prediction in detail are found in religious writings in Oriya language.

 

Malika Predictive revelations about Kalki Avatar  

 

Achyutanand Das, a 15th century saint of Orissa, had written about the arrival of the Lord Kalki in his famous book known as "Achyutananda Malika” and other Religious Books in Oriya.  Here are some important revelations about Kalki Avatar from these books:

 

1. To liberate the humanity from the sufferings in Kalyug, it would not be an “Ansh Avatar” (Part/Portion of Brahmn) but the “Srishti Karta” (the Creator) ownself would come. The Creator is formless and does not take birth. HE is “Purash” (Akal Purakh) who does not take birth. So, HE would come within the body of a Saintly awakened Man on earth. This man would be light and in him would the creator be This way the Creator can walk on earth just like riding on a horse. The two of them would become one. The Saintly man would be known as Guru.  Thus, the Creator would not be born but would arise in the body of the human have spiritual knowledge of a Guru.

 

2. This Avtar would be Avatar of “Maha Tatva” ( that which gives rise to five tatva’s - earth (prithvi), water (apas), fire (agni), air (vayu) ,aether (akasha).  and “Maha Gyan” (Great knowledge).

 

3. After Radha-Krishan, this would be the second “Jugal Roop Swroop Avatar” meaning having two forms together. This would be the “Maha Prem Avatar” meaning would be expressing pure divine love. Although facing sufferings in Kalyug due to his soft nature, this saint would rise in this world to be holder of Creator power by surrendering own individual self to the Divine. So that the “Srishti Karta” would directly bring justice and the shift to era of Satyug.

 

4. In view of dark Kalyug, the Karta lighted ownself in a hidden way on earth. The Kalki would be the Creators light or energy and would descend in a human saintly person born on earth. The other Avatars were “Ansh Avatr” meaning Avatar of Nirankar part of the Karta.

 

5. The Birth Play of the Karta would be hidden and would not be known to others. No one would come to know that in that saintly human the Creator ownself has descended and is residing. They would become one. The one walking, talking and speaking would be Karta ownself. The Karta would come in only one Saint’s body. He would keep his inner state of presence of Karta within his body hidden so others around him or interacting with him would not be able to know him being having become Kalki Avtar by surrendering individuality. He in the life would be an ordinary person living a quite life and not in any limelight. He would be Bhagat first and become Brahmn Swarupe. He would be having abilities of a Sidh Guru meaning having spiritual awareness. He would be giving spiritual guidance too without revealing own real identity. The coming of the Creator in this person then would be in a hidden way and no one would be able to find where and who is the Avatar. The Creator would thus from formless have a form through this person.

 

6. The Kalki Avatar would behaving “Panch ayudh” meaning holder of five special powers or abilities. These five are

                                 i.            Shankh (Conch)– inside would be  an ever flow of celestial Sound vibration of Creation.

                               ii.            Padma (lotus) – the subtle body would be vibrating with purity and anyone near them would feel the peace.

                             iii.            Gadhaa (club) – Any one who would be angry or proud before him would either has to let these go or suffer.

                              iv.            Chakra (Chakra) – The words uttered by him would manifest. He would work with the thoughts.

                               v.            Talvar (sword)- This is the power of writing destiny and so bring transformation/change in created world.

The Avatar would have within the Hari, Har and Brahma meaning the three forces of creation. The Avatar’s body would have golden reflection.

 

7. At the time of Kalki Avtar a “Kavi Roop” meaning poetic presence, would be present on earth. This is stated on page no 33 in the Book Anadi Sanghita by Saint Achutanand.

 

8. An important revelation is in the book “Gupt Geeta” by Saint Balram Das of Orissa. He has written Kalki would be Divine image Avatar. In him would be “Ongkar Naad” and in the feet earth. In that person would be the Creator ownself so overflowing Naad and spiritually connected with the spiritual center of the Earth. In this person the Creator would be Himself playing both parts.

 

9. The Kalki Avatar would reveal ownself through “Darshan Lila” meaning to make them known and the whole world would be astonished to see the Light of the Avatar. All then would know about Avatar, bow before him and talk about him.

Conclusive Understanding-

 

According to the mythology, Avatar Kalki will appear at the time when Kali Yuga reaches its worst phase.

  

“In the Kali age of sin, I will assume an avatar that is dark in color. Great intelligence and great energy will be possessed by this avatar.” are the words stated by Lord Vishnu in Mahabharata.

 

Nostradamus, a great astrologer, has predicted that the saviour of the world will be born on Thursday.

The 24th verse of the 12th Skanda in Shrimad Bhagavad Gita talks about Shri Vishnu’s Kalki Avatar. According to this, Lord Vishnu will be born as Kalki when Jupiter, Sun and Moon are together in Pushya Nakshatra. As per mythological beliefs, Satyug will commence only after Lord Vishnu incarnates in the Kalki Avatar.

 

There is also prophecies on the Second Coming of Jesus on Earth. It is a Christian and Islamic concept that surfaced after his first coming and his ascension to heaven about two thousand years ago. The belief is based on messianic prophecies found in the canonical gospels. The time of arrival varies but states that it would herald the end of the present world. The latest time of arrival is believed to be some time from the year 2025.

 

The time of arrival of Avatar is a mystery. This should be viewed as two events. First, the birth of the person who would rise as a saint. Second the day in him the light of the Akal Purakh and the Nirankar would descend.

Guru Nanak in his hymn has talked of the second event whereas in many other texts the birth of the person is mentioned. He is a vehicle depicted as a horse in which would descend the Kalki Light of Creator ownself. As a Saint he would have light of Akal Purakh.

 

Many psychics and spiritual teachers are stating that the time of arrival of Lord Kalki to be the year 2022 on ward.

 

Bhai Gurdas Ji who is considered the first interpreter of Gurbani and his writings are a key to understanding the Sikh holy scriptures in Pauri 23 has written:

 

“The benefactor Lord listened to the cries (of humanity) and sent Guru Nanak to this world.” And that: “Guru Nanak came to redeem the Kalyug.”

 

So, the beginning was done by Guru Nanak. The Nirankari Jyote (light) that was in Guru Nanak and the next Nine Guru’s now exists in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, the Sabad Guru with Hymns in poetic form that has common message of truth, the new spirituality for humanity.  The energy of Guru Nanak is present on earth. The time for arrival of the Avatar when seen in conjunction with other predictions is from the year 2022 to the year 2042.

 

The Mystery surrounding Avatar

 

This Avatar has to work in subtle realms at energetic level. The new Satyug structure would be built in energetic form first as it would be the mind and general energies that would change and not the created earth. 

So, his arrival is hidden behind symbolic words. 

The Sambhal mentioned actually means the peaceful state of mind. This word has roots in the word “Shambhala”, which is a Sanskrit word meaning “place of peace” or “place of silence”, is a mythical paradise spoken of in ancient Tibetan Buddhist and Hindu traditions. This is spiritually a state of peaceful mind in the devotee. This comes from an inward kept awareness where the Anhad Naad is heard. This saint person would have such a state of mind and the Creator would come to dwell here. Shambhala as the birthplace of Kalki Avatar.

 

Born in the “house a brahmin” does not mean parents of this saint would have brahmin lineage. It simply means where the access or awareness true spiritual knowledge would be available. This person has discernment and not fall prey to ritualistic religious practices in Kalyug.

 

Same is the case with names of brothers:  Kavi means “Poet, Sage, Seer”.( here it refers to Sage or Seer), Prajna, means wisdom, and Sumantra, meaning is good advice. These are not real family but the source from where the true spiritual knowledge would be received.

 

Astrological pointers: Astrologically, his birth chart would be having the Sun, Moon, Jupiter placement as stated with day being Thursday. As yet no astrologer has been able to pinpoint the date of birth. This mention too seems camouflaged so that fake persons should not become self-proclaimed Avatars misleading people. Even now many are there.

 

Kalki Avatar in 'Sri Dasam Granth of the Sikhs

 

In 'Sri Dasam Granth Sahib', the story of 'Kalki avtaar' has been given who is stated as 24th Avatar. The reference is similar to the believe of 'Vashanav sampardaaye' of Hindus.

An interesting lineis  'Bhal bhaag bhaya eh Sambhal ke har joo Harmandar aavaingey.' has been used 16 times in 'Kalki Avtaar' poetic stanzas in 'Sri Dasam Granth Sahib'. This means that the “Having good destiny, in the one of Sambhal the Har Hinself would come in Harmandir”. This line states that in such a destined person the Body-Mand would be temple of Har where Har ownself would come to reside.

 

This line is a confirmation that in the Kalki Avatar would be Har ownself who would descend in this Saintly person.

 

 

Conclusion:

 

The Kalki is divine energy presence on earth and shows presence in a Saintly Guru person. In him would descend the Divine ownself and this is known as taking Avatar. This Avatar would be different as the Creator own self would come as a Guest for a short time. In him would be present spiritual energies of Past Avatars, Archangels and also Jesus since all are the highest Divine presence in creation.

 

The spiritual state of the person would be similar to that described in the Malika. This is the state of mind that is stated in Gurbani. The state of Consciousness in the human mind with presence of the Creator is known as “Sach Khand” in Gurbani. This is a Guest state and is the state where there is no sense of individuality in the person. Guru Nanak and the other Guru’s had this light presence. This was to bring guiding words of truth on earth and initiate change.

Such a oneness  is also experienced by the Saints.  But in this Guru Saint Avatar the Creator would exercise the transformative Will.

 

The person would be born in India and within whom would walk the Divine Source Ownself as a Guest for the advent of Satyug. This is symbolically described in Hindu scripture with Kalki riding a horse holding a sword. This imaging is typically the Hindu way of describing God energies through imagery.

 

The “Sword” is that of Divine Awareness that transforms the collective matrix that bring awareness of true Self in the humanity and ushers in the Satyug. This transformation to the new can only be done by the Creator Ownself so HE HIMSELF would be descending as a guest in a spiritually uplifted human body on earth for ascension to Golden age of Satyug.

 

 Time to connect with Kalki energy

 

The Kalki Avatar’s energy is indicated by the presence of Ek Ongkaar feeling and Naad in this divine person’s mind. Ek means ONE and having in Awareness ONENESS. Ong is the ever flow of Naad, the celestial sound vibration in creation and Kaar is the Divine Will, the Hukam that creates the creation.

This Mantra of Ek Ongkaar was brought for humanity by Guru Nanak as a new form of meditation. This Mantar is the first word in the Mool Mantra which connects with the Akal Purakh and thus the Kalki Energy.
