Good question here which probably nobody will be able to answer without a 'you will goto hell' .
Why does Krishna or God (any god) expect us to do Bhakti in this iron age (which is vile)/ When He Himself God will NOT advent Himself again? for many many years?

So no answers so far ? Just repeating what you may have read? Or copy pasted? Please re-read what i asked and get off your preaching platform for 2 mins. I asked in Kali-yuga there will be no other advent for 1000's of years. How can Krishna expect us to live in this world (which to be fair is not so bad for some). When He himself Krishna will NOT come again? isnt that seem a little selfish on Krishna part? He doesnt think We are Good enough what exactly is the reason for this intermittent advent? Is there a story or a time when Krishna came without it being in scripture. Think people THINK!
Hare Krishna prabhu , pls forgive me for any offences made while answering this , I am just trying to tell what i understand with my limited knowledge and what I have heard
So assume you are a kid and your duty is to study so you should study even without the teacher's presence or we suffer right? But lord has personally advented as Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and has given this wonderful process which is extremely easy to follow . So if we dont take this process seriously then i guess it is we are who are going to suffer then.And yes the Kali yuga might get worse in the coming days if people dont take up to spirituality , so we gotta rush . Krishna is eagerly waiting for us to turn back to him , Krishna doesnt want us to live in this material world ,it is we who have decided , but now it is the time to follow the process of bhakti and go back home back to godhead .
And now just think if some random dude comes in the street and tells he is the lord and asks you to surrender to him , we probably wouldnt even give time to hear him out right, unless it is mentioned in the scripture? So how can we expect to see the lord with this material eyes , we are so fallen. But lord mercifully reciprocates with every devotee , I remember HH Indradyumna Swami Mahraj saying that the soul and supersoul are as near as the fingers crossed so lord knows everything happenning. SO BHAKTI is the only way we can go back home back to godhead. Krishna knows this material world is a place of miseries but he has send so many wonderful vaishnavas and he is personally present in form of the diety and has given scriptures , sankirtan and many more to give us a chance.The lord keeps us giving many chances but it is up to us to grab it.

I guess it is better to hear from a senior vaishnava than me a fallen soul answering this
vancha-kalpatarubhyas ca kripa-sindhubhya eva ca
patitanam pavanebhyo vaishnavebhyo namo namah
i think Krishna does not want us to live in this world.
It is us only who want to live in this world.
It is not my status to tell you anything but why do you complain about living in this world, when you/we can live in vaikuntha right now!!! right here!!!

"When He Himself God will NOT advent Himself again? for many many years?"
He advented just recently, 500 years ago. That's once-in-a-kalpa extra chance compared to other Kali yugas.
He is also present in the form of gurus, sastras and sadhus. Sankirtan, dhamas, tirthas, murtis, vratas like Ekadasi, etc. are also His forms.
Yet we also have a choice to shut our eyes to avoid His omnipresence. It's up to us.

If that is the case why wait for any advent?
Hare Krsna
It is great mercy on part of the Lord when He personally descends to accept surrender from conditioned souls. Not everyone is so advanced in Bhakti that they can remain lovingly absorbed in surrender unto Him. However, a pure devotee does not want the Lord to descend for his liberation. He does not want to ask the Lord for anything. He is satisfied in any condition of life.

" One should endeavor to go back home, back to Godhead (yanti mad-yajino 'pi maam). Otherwise, there is no difference between human life and the lives of jungle animals and birds. Animals and birds also have freedom, but because of their lower birth, they cannot use it."
Srimad-Bhagavatam 5.19.25 Purport

Hare Krsna
To give an example: If a part of a body is diseased it gives trouble to the whole body. We are all parts and parcels of Krsna. Not to surrender to Krsna is a diseased condition of life and it certainly gives pain to the Lord. Bhakti is useless without surrender. Choice is ours, whether to give pain to the Lord or cooperate with Him.
