The Meaning of Avatar

The term ‘AVATAR’ means one who was descended, but descended from where and to what? It means descended from Godliness to human form. Avatar means those who descended to Earth from the Spiritual world for the establishment of Dharma, preservation of the human race and promulgation of Sastra. Avatar means the person who descends, as a fully or partially empowered incarnation of Divine Mother Adhiparasakthi, from the spiritual realm for a particular mission. An Avatar is also called a Savior, that is a person who saves or rescues mankind from the danger of deterioration. When a savior appears on this Earth all are saved through his grace.

Hi Friends,

My contribution to the enlightened discussion is that originally Avatar had connotations of goodness and saintly behavior. It was just to remind people of the legacy of the word they use. What internet and community boards/chat has done to it is for all of us to see and think. As many people are seeking an Avatar, well it is just to set them thinking as to what they are asking for without knowing the import.:wave:


Little by little , step by step, from here to a better society.
