Dasha Avatar

The ten incarnations of Vishnu is a Hindu theological concept in

Vedic history. Vishnu exists as the Creator and also within every

being as our soul, our Supreme. He also enters or descends to our

world in the form of Avatar whenever his presence is needed.

Avatar is described by Krishna:

 

" Whenever there is a decline of religion, and a rise of irreligion,

I incarnate myself. To protect the good, to destroy the wicked, and

to re-establish religious principles, I appear in every age " ---(

Bhagavad Gita )

 

The Ten Avatars or Dasha Avatar of Vishnu are important and very

interesting as you can see that he incarnates progressively from fish

to human form.

 

The ten Avatars are:

 

1. Matsya - The Fish 2. Kurma- The Tortoise 3. Varaha- The Boar

4. Narasimha- The Man-Lion 5. Vamana - The Dwarf 6. Parasurama - The

(wild) Warrior

7. Sri Rama - The King 8. Sri Krishna -( The (all attractive) Cowherd

9. Buddha - The Teacher

 

10. Kalki - The Slayer
