Abstract

Some of the sacred books of Hinduism have talked about a PROMISED SAVIOR named “Kalki”. KALKI is the last earthly incarnation of VISHNU, one of three Indian gods, who will embody to save the religion and help the believers in the last days. The embodiment of God on earth is called “Avatar” in Indian terms. Therefore, the concept of savior in Hinduism is associated with the concept of “Avatar” and this semantic relationship has caused some of Indian’s spiritual teachers call themselves AVATAR and even the PROMISED SAVIOR. Thus, the concept of the PROMISED SAVIOR is investigated at two levels in Hinduism in the present paper: first, at the level of religious texts in which the coming of a certain savior to revive the religion is promised; secondly, at the level of folk’s and traditional beliefs of Hinduism which believe every ascetic, guru and spiritual teacher who claims that they have the experience of understanding God and unity with Him is the Lord’s AVATAR. The present paper shows a personal PROMISED SAVIOR in the last days is foretold in Hinduism who is supposed to appear at the end of the present era, which is called “the dark era” and some people in this religion who call themselves “Avatar” have downgraded the concept of savior to the folk-level religion.
