Kalki and the Golden Age Movement
By Kiara Windrider


Sri Kalki, or Bhagawan, as many of his disciples call him, is known as the “Mukti Avatar,” a Divine Incarnation whose specialization is to impart enlightenment. His presence and his mission reflect for me the highest gifts Mother India has to offer humanity, and having met him and experienced who he is, I feel that I can now rest in complete trust that humanity is going to make it, no matter how fragmented, meaningless and chaotic our existence has been.

My wife, Grace, and I met with him three times over the few weeks that we were at his ashram near Chennai. Our first meeting was a group darshan” (or interview) for the teachers, including myself, at the “Experience Festival” that was being held there. During the darshan he spoke of the dilemma most people experience if they are serious about enlightenment. No matter how hard we may try to get there, we still have concepts and expectations about what enlightenment must look like.

There is always an effort to get from the state of non-enlightenment to a state of enlightenment, which creates and furthers the very duality we are trying to dissolve. Even when we let go of the effort and become empty we are still conditioned by the deep subconscious programming within our minds that keeps us separate from external reality, separate from directly experiencing the world without the running commentary of our thoughts.

I had been seeking enlightenment for many years. I had had a few enlightenment experiences but it wasn’t a permanent state. After decades of unsuccessful effort I noticed myself becoming weary of the search, especially since I did not want to create more duality between where I was and where I wanted to be. I started telling myself that maybe I was already enlightened, just didn’t know it yet. I created a wonderful enlightened persona around myself, asking myself how I would live and act if I were enlightened, and trying to incorporate that “as if enlightened” state into my daily walk.
