What happens at the end of Kaliyuga?

the world Will Not actually get destroyed at the end of the Kali Yuga.

Rather, what's going to occur is that when the evil and decadence of the Kali Yuga reaches its zenith, Vishnu will have an avatar as Kalki the horse rider.

#thread
Here is how the Srimad Bhagavatam describes it:

"Lord Kalki will appear in the home of the most eminent brāhmaṇa of Śambhala village, the great soul Viṣṇuyaśā. Lord Kalki, the Lord of the universe, will mount His swift horse Devadatta and, sword in hand,
...travel over the earth exhibiting His eight mystic opulences and eight special qualities of Godhead.

Displaying His unequaled effulgence and riding with great speed, He will kill by the millions those thieves who have dared dress as kings. +

vedabase.com/en/sb/12/2/cha…
After all the impostor kings have been killed, the residents of the cities and towns will feel the breezes carrying the most sacred fragrance of the sandalwood paste and other decorations of Lord Vāsudeva, and their minds will thereby become transcendentally pure. +
When Lord Vāsudeva, appears in their hearts in His transcendental form of goodness, the remaining citizens will abundantly repopulate the earth.

When the Supreme Lord has appeared on earth as Kalki, the maintainer of religion, Satya-yuga will begin,
and human society will bring forth progeny in the mode of goodness.

When the moon, the sun & Bṛhaspatī are together in the constellation Karkaṭa, and all three enter simultaneously into the lunar mansion Puṣyā — at that exact moment the age of Satya, or Kṛta, will begin."
So even if some people are killed, the world will still go on after the end of the Kali Yuga. The Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dwapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga keep repeating in a cycle.

But in between this "The Pralaya" happens, about which we will talk tomorrow.
Here is the next set of threads, what is Pralaya?

What is Prayalaya?

One cycle of all 4 Yugas is called a Mahayuga or Chatur Yuga, and 1000 Mahayugas make up one Kalpa.

A Kalpa constitutes just one day for Brahma, After the day is over, Brahma goes to sleep, and then the Pralaya, or night of Brahma, commences.
#thread
The Pralaya, of equal length to a Kalpa, is the time period when the entire three worlds (the physical universe along with Devaloka and Asuraloka) are destroyed by fire emanating from the mouth of Vishnu's serpent Adiseshan.
Here is how it's described in the Srimad Bhagavatam:

"The devastation takes place due to the fire emanating from the mouth of [Ananta], and thus great sages like Bhṛgu and other inhabitants of Maharloka transport themselves to Janaloka....

Difference between various commentaries of Gita.

At any point of time Original sanskrit slokas are 'authentic' Gita. The first authentic commentary was written by Sri Adi Sankaracharya, which is the bhashya that establishes the Advaita philosophy.

He made commentary of the 700 slokas of Gita out of 745 slokas. All the later Acharyas like Sri Ramanuja, Sri Madhva etc wrote commentaries only of these very 700 slokas chosen by Sri Adi Sankara.
The purpose of each was to establish one's own philosophy by explaining Gita. They wrote the bhashyas in sanskrit, analysing the slokas word by word and going to the very depth of each word.

Sanskrit is a very rich language & each word can be interpreted in many different ways.

Today is #Mahasamadhi_Diwas of Swami Vivekananda.

A thread on What mantra Swami Vivekananda regularly chanted...

Sri Ramakrishna surrendered Swamiji to Maa Kali and asked him to meditate on the form of Maa Kali. So He had given Kali Mantra to Swamiji in all probabilities. 1/6
Swamiji soon started getting visions of Kali, different other deities and mantras, as He told confidentially to Sri M in 1887(as recorded in Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita)
Sri Ramakrishna also gave Him Rama Mantra at Kashipore in 1886 (as mentioned in Sri Ramakrishner Antyaleela by Swami Prabhananda).

He was taught Swamiji Advaitavaad as mentioned by Swamiji in His Complete Works.

Sri Vishnu Stuti:

शान्ताकारं भुजगशयनं पद्मनाभं सुरेशं
विश्वाधारं गगनसदृशं मेघवर्णं शुभाङ्गम् ।
लक्ष्मीकान्तं कमलनयनं योगिभिर्ध्यानगम्यम्
वन्दे विष्णुं भवभयहरं सर्वलोकैकनाथम् ॥

He, Who is of a calm countenance and reposes on one which moves with curves(of snake- Lord Ananta)
Who has a lotus navel(from which Brahma manifested), and Who is the Lord of all Gods; Who is the support of this World and is as vast as the Sky; and Who is of colour of a Black Cloud and has beautiful and auspicious body parts.
He, Who is the beloved of Lakshmi and Who has eyes like lotuses; Who is always approached by Ascetics in their state of Meditation; I worship that Vishnu, Who pervades everywhere, He, Who exterminates the fear of this illusionary world, and Who is the sole Lord of all the worlds.

The number of people from each Varnas required to form a Kingdom (Monarchial state) in the Mahabharata

In Shanti Parva 85, Bhishma talks about this topic..

Bhishma said, "Thou art endued with great intelligence, O Yudhishthira! It is even so as thou sayest. 1/7
The person is very rare who is possessed of all those good qualities. To be brief, conduct like this (viz., the presence of all the virtues spoken of), is very difficult to be met with even upon careful search.
I shall, however, tell thee what kinds of ministers should be appointed by thee. Four Brahmanas, learned in the Vedas, possessed of a sense of dignity, belonging to the Snataka order, and of pure behaviour....

Existence of Generational curse in #Hinduism

Generational curse do exists and mentioned in our scripture at multiple places.

They are of 2 types of Generational curse: #thread 1/11
1. External
Such kind of curse may come from a strong and austere personality like a Brahman or a saintly person.

There are couple of references in AnushAsanika Parva, Mahabharat as footnotes...
Once Brahma asked Surabhi to bear evidence before Vishnu to the statement that Brahma has seen the foremost part of Siva. Surabhi having given false evidence out of fear for Brahma was cursed by Siva that her offspring will eat unholy substances.
