यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत ।
अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् ॥
अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् ॥
परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम् ।
धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे ॥
"Whenever and wherever there is a decay in dharma, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion--at that time I descend Myself. To deliver the pious, protect the good and to annihilate evil, as well as to re-establish dharma, I Myself appear age after age."
- Lord Krishna
Many Hindus are familiar with this verse from the Bhagvad Gita. Basically, it means that the Lord himself will manifest age after age when there is no righteousness left in the world, to protect all the good and destroy all evil.
Commonly known as the 'Kali Yuga' (dark age), Lord Vishnu will take his tenth avatar 'kalki avatar', riding a white horse with a sword, to conquer evil.
