Why should Krishna wait till the end of kaliyuga for Kalki avatar?
A male devotee (Name hidden) asked like this:
“(1) As lord already knows dharma will decline more and more also we can just see it now also, so why don’t he come now or if not he then why not send 7 chiranjeevis to protect dharma if not then what’s their purpose?, why is lord waiting for the end of kaliyug? What karma did these chiranjeevis did which actually got their status at this level?
(2) Is it true that working for anyone’s betterment will not be good as we will get their karma? Like for the welfare of the country or world.”
REPLY:
Krishna is periodically sending many devotees to re-establish dharma.
He Himself comes in every yuga. But, He also empowers some acharyas periodically and sends them to serve the devotees and to rescue them from the clutches of maya
The achryas come, reform the people and go back.

Krishna Himself came as Sri Caitanya Maha Prabhu. Re-estblish dhrma.
Krishna sends acharyas periodically like Sril Prabhupada, Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati, Bhakti Vinode Thakkur, Gosvmis, etc.
These acharyas mercifully rescue the people from the clutches of maya by preaching the glories of Haarinam and Krishna.
Krishna empowers these visiting acharyas to reform the people by preaching Krishna and His Holy names.
This is what happened when some brahmanas started to misuse the vedas.
The Lord came as Buddha and denied vedas temporarily.
Then Lord Shiva came as Adi Shankara and re-established Vedas.
Sri Ramanuja came to distribute Harinam to all without the community barriers.
Srila Prabhupada came to take the Harinam in western countries.
Krishna need not come every time.
His empowered acharyas can be sent from time to time.
Krishna comes and re-establishes dharma once in every yuga. Then, it is protected thru acharyas.

This is a good system only.
Krishna gives opportunities and glories to His devotees to deliver His messages to the people.
When Arjuna requested Krishna to preach Bhagavad Gita again, Krishna took him to Bhisma deva to preach the dharma to Arjuna.
This system of sending acharyas is going on nicely and will continue in future too.
For every individual devotee, Krishna shows a guru as His representative.
That guru takes the responsibility of giving Krishna to that devotee.
You think that this world has gone worse and this is the time for Krishna to come without waiting till the end of kaliyga.
Yes, wine, women and money related crimes are increasing. Only the wise persons can survive in the current trend of world.
But, still the countries’ laws are existing and good things are happening throughout the world.
Harinam is chanted throughout the world. Bhagavad gita is being distributed to crores of people worldwide in most of the languages.
The people of all religions are now able to read Bhagavd Gita, Bhagavatam, etc.
What a great thing this is!
The time has not yet come for the visit of Krishna directly.
Whatever crimes that are happening now were existing even in Dvaraka ruled by Krishna.
There were even the women who sold pleasures even during Krishna’s rule.
So, except in Satya yuga, such criminals will exist in all the yugas.
At the same time, there will always be some opportunities to follow devotion.
Such bad people are necessary in a society to implement the karma of the people.
For example, if I had cheated people’s money in my previous birth, I need to be cheated in this birth as per karma rules.
So, there should be a cheater to cheat me in this birth.
Therefore, even the cheaters are used by the karma network to implement its rules.
Ravana and his team abducted Sita devi in Treta yuga.
Duryodhana cheated Pandavas in Dvapar yuga.
In kaliyuga, there re increased criminals because kaliyuga is classified as a yuga of quarrels and domination of adharma.
But still there are innumerable pious and good people. We should take their association.
Therefore, cheaters and criminals will always exist in all countries along with pious people.
It is the duty of pious people to identify pious persons and associate with them.
It is possible even now. There are devotee satsanghas like ISKCON and plenty of temples to practice devotion.
(Is Preferring Other avatars to Krishna wrong & Offensive? READ HERE)
Acharyas are coming in every century that we are seeing everywhere.
So, as existed in other yugas, both good people and criminals co-exist even now.
Krishna will directly come as Kalki when this kaliyuga reaches a stage in which the pious people get no facilities or opportunities to follow the devotional life and when the pious people are tortured.
Such a situation will come in future – after thousands of years.
It has not yet come because now, we have many opportunities to practice devotion.
Even now we are practicing thru our media that is serving for decades without any demand from you in return.
How fortunate we are to associate like this and learn together!
So, there are still many opportunities to practice devotion.
So, Krishna does not come now, but comes after 4,27,000 years.
Till He comes, He will arrange the facilities to follow devotion nicely and He will keep sending acharyas like Srila Prabhupada to guide the people.

You have also asked whether working for others’ welfare adds karma to us.
Yes, if we do them in the material angle, it ads karma for us.
But, if we do such welfare activities for serving Krishna without the expectation of returns or reactions, then, it is not added to our karma account. Instead, it invites the mercy of the Lord.
When we preach Bhagavad Gita to others, it is a spiritual activity.
But when we teach how to reduce the body weight to attract others, it adds to our karma account.
So, do anything as a service to the Lord Krishna. Forget about the concept of Karma.
Hope you are clear why should Krishna wait till the end of kaliyuga for Kalki avatar.
