: Where in the Hindu scriptures does it have the prophecy
: of the coming of the last avatar of Vishnu? Do most
: Indians believe that the last avatar has already been
: born? Was the Ganesha drinking milk a sign?

Response:

For the Kaliyuga (the present age), the Puranas (Hindu scriptures) say that the last avatar of Lord Vishnu would be KALKIN, a man on the white horse. He would set the things right for Satyayuga (golden age) to return. In Hindu view, the last avatar has not appeared yet and will appear at the time of the transition between Kaliyuga and the Satyayuga, which is tens of thousands of years in future.
