Know Meaning And Concept Of Avatar Or Incarnation In Hinduism
Avatar
when
translated
to
English
literally
means
Descending
downwards.
You
must
have
heard
of
Gangavataran
which
means
advent
or
descending
down
of
the
river
Ganga.
Hindus
staunchly
believe
that
whenever
the
evil
overpowers
the
good
in
the
world,
God
arrives
on
Earth
to
provide
justice
to
the
suffering
souls,
uplift
them,
and
punish
the
wicked.
He
descends
just
when
it
is
time
for
him
to
come,
and
restores
the
Dharma
by
helping
the
righteous.
During
the
time
of
Vedas,
there
were
no
avatars,
and
as
time
gradually
passed,
as
the
wickedness
set
inside
the
minds
of
the
earthly
inhabitants,
God
decided
to
arrive
into
the
scene
to
restore
dharma.
During
vedic
times,
there
were
avatars
because
no
one
was
indulging
in
adharma
and
hence
there
was
no
need
for
the
god
to
arrive.
God
is
called
Parabrahma
in
Upanishads
and
he
is
one
and
the
only
one
that
rules
the
universe.
Brahman
is
beyond
name;
form
and
the
whole
world
is
his
body
and
he
is
its
soul.
Any
avatar
that
arrives
in
the
earth
is
the
parabrahman,
who
is
the
sole
god
of
the
universe.
Vishnu Avatars
As
per
the
Vaishnava
tradition,
Mahavishnu
is
the
sole
entity
that
rules
this
entire
world,
preserves
it
and
he
is
the
brahman
of
this
universe.
Lord
Vishnu
has
taken
ten
avatars
which
are
considered
as
very
important.
1)
Matsya
2)
Kurma
3)
Varaha
4)
Narasimha
5)
Vamana
6)
Parashurama
7)
Rama
8)
Krishna
9)
Balarama
10)
Kalki.
As
per
the
Bhagavatam,
there
are
14
avatars
enlisted
including
Vyasa,
Nara-Narayana,
Mohini,
Narada,
Dattatreya
and
so
on.
However,
as
per
puranas
the
number
is
restricted
to
ten.
Some
people
consider
Buddha
to
be
the
tenth
avatar
that
is
kalki.
But
the
facts
do
not
match
the
description
as
kalki
is
supposed
to
arrive
after
almost
4
crore
and
odd
years
of
Kaliyuga
began.
Countless Avatars
Avatars
are
countless
because
they
take
earthly
form
and
descend
whenever
there
is
adharma
overpowering
the
lives
of
people.
Several
saints
and
mahatmans
are
considered
as
avatar
purushas
as
the
precepts
they
preached
are
as
poignant
as
puranas
and
Upanishads.
Avatar
purushas
give
sermons
in
the
local
language
as
they
are
easier
to
understand
and
not
as
tough
as
Sanskrit.
Many
avatar
purushas
were
worshipped
by
Hindus.
Avatar Purushas
Shri
Shankaracharya
is
hailed
as
an
Avatar
of
Lord
Shiva.
Sri
Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu
is
called
an
Avatar
of
Radha.
Sri
Ramakrishna
Paramahamsa
is
considered
a
divine
Avatar.
Shirdi
Saibaba
is
considered
an
Avatar
of
God,
whose
transracial
appeal
held
everyone
in
devotion
and
raptures...
Sri
Satya
Saibaba
is
considered
an
Avatar
of
Shiva-Shakti.
Bhagwan
Ramana
Maharshi
is
considered
by
some
devotees
as
an
avatar
of
Subrahmanya.
There
are
saints
who
sang
keertans
of
God,
shedding
tears
of
Bhakti.
Some
attained
Gnyana
and
taught
that
to
people.
