avatarams

[Guest guest]

Dear friends, If I may humbly say, all the acharyas could be called the representatives of the Lord as they have shown us the path to tread and follow. Any creature which follows the path of dharma and upholds the basic moral, ethical values has the manifestation of the lord.

It is still interesting to know the exact " major " avatars of the lord. Mankind has always awaited the avatar to deliver them from eviil of adharma.Adiyen ramanuja dasan,With Best wishes,Vijayaraghavan.S
