[Shri Satthireddy asked: Paadanamaskaram Swami, I am Satthireddy. I am very blessed by You Swami. Without Your blessings, I cannot even read or listen to Your knowledge swami.
Swami, in Jnaana Saraswati, You explained about Avesha avataras. In that, You mentioned about five avataras (Kala avataram, Amsha avataram, Avesha avataram, Purna avataram, Paripurna avataram). Please explain the differences between these avataras with examples. In how much percentage does God express in each and every Avatar and how to recognize that God came in a particular avatar because when You came as Rama Chandra prabhu, You did not teach spiritual knowledge. But the path in which You walked itself is the knowledge to humanity? If any mistakes are there in question itself. Swami please correct me, I am begging You as a beggar.]
Swami replied:- All incarnations possess Parabrahman or unimaginable God in them equally and hence, there is no difference in the possessed power of any two incarnations. Power is exhibited as per the requirement of their respective programs and not even a trace is unnecessarily expressed due to ego-show as demons do. Hence, as per the requirement of the program, the proportion of the power is expressed. There is no rule that a specific type of incarnations has this much range of power for expression. You should not think that if a program needs expression of 60% of power and if a specific incarnation can have only 50% power, the incarnation escapes from doing that program! Every type of incarnation possesses 100% power and every incarnation can do any program. Hence, you should not differentiate incarnations of God based on the percentage of power possessed. The classification of incarnations is based on the requirements of their programs. Suppose, one program needs expression of 25% power and another program needs expression of 90% power, for the sake of both these programs, the same God incarnates. In the case of the 1st program, God expresses 25% power and in the case of 2nd program, God expresses 90% power. Now you say that the 1st incarnation is of 25% power and 2nd incarnation is of 90% power. These percentages of power are not related to the 100% power of God possessed by the incarnation, but, are related to the type of the program only. Rama also preached the Pravrutti type of spiritual knowledge through His practice. Rama behaved like an ideal human being. Krishna preached the same Pravrutti type of spiritual knowledge, but, Himself behaved to be beyond the normal range of human level to show that God incarnates in human form. Theory and practice are the two parts of the same knowledge. Based on the requirement of humanity in a specific time, the nature of the program is decided and God incarnates as per the direction of the program.
