The Last Avatar (Age of Kalki #1) by VISHWAS. MUDAGAL Pdf
In the not-so-distant future, India has fallen, and the world is on the brink of an apocalyptic war. An attack by the terrorist group Invisible Hand has brutally eliminated the Indian Prime Minister and the union cabinet. As a national emergency is declared, chaos, destruction and terror reign supreme.
‘Kalki’ R. Krishnamurthy, one of the pioneering giants of the Tamil press in the tumultuous times of the nationalist movement, was a versatile and prolific writer, inscribing the urgencies of his time in his fiction. This collection brings together the best of Kalki’s short stories, which contain some of his most colourful and enduring characters and themes of Tamil popular fiction of the nineteen thirties and forties. There is in these stories the heady urgency of the freedom struggle, the piquant humour of the parodied Tamil gothic and devastating social satire. In her sensitive translations, Gowri Ramnarayan has succeeded in capturing the nuances of the gently mordant wit that made Kalki’s stories the highlight of the magazines they were originally published in, creating for themselves a dedicated following that flourishes undiminished to this day. Coinciding with the centenary of Kalki’s birth, this volume is a well-deserved tribute to a writer whose breadth of vision and genius imagined and served a new India.
The Islamic concept of Qiyamat, and the Christian percept of The Day of Judgment coincide with the prophecies in the Hindu Kaala-Gnyaanam written by the Sage Sree Pothuluru Veera Brahmendra Swami of the 17th Century. Swamiji gave a graphic description of the Day which upon analysis suggests a sudden reversal of the magnetic polarity of the earth resulting in a Global Catastrophe. Mysterious incidents are prophesied. On the dark night of Amavasya (new moon), a full moon would appear. As people get wonderstruck, cattle look up towards the sky and start to cry. The sky will become red; the sun and the moon will appear side by side, the planets will change course; and the Sun will henceforth rise from the West. Unbelievable change in human and animal behaviour will be noticed; the just-born will speak to their mothers and jump out of their laps, animals will talk to humans, idols in temples will come to life, extreme sensuality and incest will become the norm, wood will sink and stones will float; everything will become topsy-turvy. The Kaala-Gnyaanam promises that at such a time the Saviour Kalki will descend from the skies astride a white horse Devadutta, with a long sword in hand, followed by an army of valiant warriors. He will destroy the evil and establish a New Order. While the Galactic phenomena are amenable to scientific reasoning, the appearance of a Messaiah is a matter of individual faith. Between the two extremes lie the strange behaviours and incidents that defy logic. But Science and Religion are not separate, claims the author; they are the two poles of a Spectrum; and the Twain shall meet on the Day of Judgment…

From the award-winning author of Marriage of a Thousand Lies comes a brilliantly written, globe-spanning novel about identity, faith, family, and sexuality. In Tamil Nadu, India, a boy is born with blue skin. His father sets up an ashram, and the family makes a living off of the pilgrims who seek the child’s blessings and miracles, believing young Kalki to be the tenth human incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu. In Kalki’s tenth year, he is confronted with three trials that will test his power and prove his divine status and, his father tells him, spread his fame worldwide. While he seems to pass them, Kalki begins to question his divinity. Over the next decade, his family unravels, and every relationship he relied on—father, mother, aunt, uncle, cousin—starts falling apart. Traveling from India to the underground rock scene of New York City, Blue-Skinned Gods explores ethnic, gender, and sexual identities, and spans continents and faiths, in an expansive and heartfelt look at the need for belief in our globally interconnected world.
