Hare Krishna,
I can understand that Lord Caitanya is channa avatara i.e, in the disguise of a devotee. But Lord Kalki is also an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Then why is it said that Lord Vishnu appears only in 3 yugas?

Hare Krishna,
As far as I know..I don't know how far I am correct. But let me give my opinion okay.
Lord appears in Satyuga in many animal and half animal half forms ( like Matsya, Kurma, Swan( Hamsa) , Varaha and Nrusimha form). But Lord appears in His own original form in rest of the three yugas as Lord Rama, Lord Sri Krishna and In kaliki form later at the end of Kaliyuga.
That is why Lord is known as Triyugi as he is takes avatara in His own original form in Treta, Dwapar and Kaliyugas.
But another important thing I came across is there is temple called Triyugi Narayan temple in Rudra Prayag district, Uttarakhand. In case you may want to research on it.
Hare Krishna.
Hare Krishna,
If the Lord appears as Rama, Krishna and Kalki in treta, dwapar and kali yuga respectively, then does that mean, in every cycle of chatur yugas, will there be a rama avatar, a krishna avatar and a kalki avatar?
I mean would Rama incarnate again and again in every treta yuga? Would there be a hanuman and ravana too in every treta yuga? And will the history repeat again and again in every treta yuga, just it has been described in the book ramayana?
The same goes for Krishna and Kalki avatara ... Would Krishna incarnate in his original two handed form in every dwapar yuga and kill kamsa and repeat history in every dwapar yuga? ... Thanks
Hare Krishna,
Yes It is true. Time is cyclical. It will repete. But every time the events wont be same .. the challenges will be different .. the outcome of the Ramayana and Mahabharata will be different.
We are currently in the Kaliyug of the 28th Chaturyuga of 7th Manuvantara.
Do you know about a character named KakaBhasundhi ... who was cursed to be immortal crow by Lomasa Rishi. He has this boon to be able to be living forever on the Earth and he could see 11 Ramayanas happening and 16 Mahabharatas happening with every time different results.
There is story for this also. If you are really interested to read. Research about Kaka Basundhi.
Then here is story which proves that Ramayana is happening and is repeated.
Once in Treta yuga when it was about time for Rama to leave the mortal world to His own abode Saket dham. He requested Yama to escort him. But then Yama was fearing Hanuman's presence and wouldn't dare to enter. Then Lord Rama diverts the attention of Hanuman by throwing his finger ring into the Nagaloka down into the crack in the ground, and asks Hanuman to go get it back.
Hanuman soon dives into the ground reaches to search for the fallen ring .. in the Naga Loka.. he find a big heap of rings there .. He couldn't find which ring was that. Vasuki comes to rescue and helps finds the ring. Then Hanuman asks what are all those rings.? Then Vasuki reveals.. every time Treta yuga ends.. a monkey comes in search of the ring here. Hanuman felt sad but then he understood the cyclic pattern of time.
If I would say.. Even now Ramayana and mahabharata are taking place else where in another part of parallel universe...wud you believe?
Cuz there are many many Universes and every universe has Narayana .. many such bhuloka are all existing.. It is proven that In the story that how Lord Krishna summons all Brahamas of various universes to show the Brhama of bhuloka that he is not alone. There are many braham's working at the same time in many different universes. ( https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/10/13/)
Stealing or kidnapping of gopa balaks by Brahama in that story. Lord breaks the pride of Brahma by summoning all the Brahmas' of various universes.
You must understand Time is like a Wheel.
if one part is witnessing Kaliyug.. the other part of the wheel is witnessing the Treta yuga or Satyuga or Dwapar.
by the time the wheel of Kaliyug in this part ends...the wheel moves.
But yes.. The Ramayana and Mahabharata are happening many many times but everytime with a different challenge and different outcome..

you may want to read this and research more about Kakbhasundi.. You get reference of him in Rama Charita Manas.

Hare Krsna Prabhuji,
PAMHO.
Krsna appears once in a day of Brahma. So Krsna will not appear again in this day of Brahma. Other avatars are also not compulsory that the same pastimes and same appearances will happen. Lord can appear in any form and with any associates, as He desires. That is why it is said - Hari Anant, Hari Katha Ananta. We know only a small miniscule amount of lord's pastimes and incarnations. That is why its called revealed scriptures.
Haribol,
