Om Sai Ram - Avathars and the Sai Avathar

[Guest guest]

First there is the Amsha Avathaar, the plenary incarnation, like Vaamana, the young boy who humbles the pride of emperor Bali.Second comes the Kalaa Avathaars. These may be called the plenipotentiaries, with certain functional powers. The Kalaa Avathaars are like Dhanvanthari, for instance, who propagated the life saving specialised Science of Aayurvedha.Third, there is the Aavesha Avathaars who are the revolutionary Avathaars; They appear at one time, one place with one purpose, like Parashuraama and Narasimha (half man, half lion). Narasimha avathaar came for a particular purpose to relieve the sufferings of a child devotee, and destroy the demonic Hiranyakashipu.

 

As Swami has said, Hiranyakashipu probed the frontiers of the Universe just as we have probed the space, probed the depths of the ocean, and heights of Mount Everest. We have gone to the moon. But, as Baba said, modern man has not even penetrated a millimeter into his inner Being. We are not focused on our inner self while we keep bragging of our scientific and technological achievements to which we have become slaves!The fourth category is the Jnaana Avathaar. They carry the secret of liberation - the Jnaana, the wisdom of Supreme Reality. Jnaana Avathaars are like the great Buddha, the great sage Kapila and the great Shankara.The fifth category is the Leela Avathaar. Krishna was the Leela Avathaar. Leela is the play and the pastime of Krishna from His young age till He left this earth nearly 5300 years ago; an extraordinary saga of great power, of majesty, of beauty, of wisdom and of knowledge; He was the

uncrowned emperor of India. He was the Suuthradhaari, the great puppeteer. He was a Jagath-guru, the Universal Preceptor.The sixth is a Maayaavathar like Raama, who concealed His divinity. He behaved, for all practical purposes, as a human personality with all the attendant problems. He is called Maryaadha Purusha - ideal man, ideal son, ideal friend, ideal ruler etc.Seventh, comes the unique Vibhuthi Avathaar of our Divine Lord Sai, the Glory of His mahimas, miracles from birth till now, day in and day out, 365 days in a year, 73 years of extraordinary expression of divine powers.
