Guest guest Posted March 20, 1999 Report Share Posted March 20, 1999 Dear devotees, The Supreme Lord comes to earth many times and in many Avataras (incarnations). And the Vedic literature is filled with amazing accounts of the Lord's incarnations. Lord Matsya, the first of ten primary forms, is known as an Avatara because He descends from the spiritual world onto the mundane realm in His own transcendental form. (The Sanskrit word avatara is composed of the two words-ava (downwards) and tara (passage)-and usually refers to the descent of a divinity.) According to tradition Sri Matsya Avatar appeared aeons ago in the month of Chaitra (sukla 3) corresponding this year to March 20--in the afternoon. Visit The Matsya Site to hear about the Lord's mission as Sri Matsya-avatara. http://matsya.avatara.org Enjoy your visit. Gerald S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
