[Shri Hrushikesh asked: Dear Swami, I request You to kindly answer the below questions asked by my cousin Bharath. Who exactly is the 9th avatar of Lord Vishnu? The forgotten avatar. I found 3 answers on the internet. These are the answers I found, they are Gautama Buddha or Krishna Or Balarama. Kindly clarify who is the 9th Avataar? And why no one talks about this Avatar? What did He teach and preach? At Lotus Feet, Hrushikesh]
Swami replied:- The 9th Avataara (incarnation) of Lord Vishnu is Lord Buddha and the 8th incarnation is Balarama. There is no difference between Krishna and Vishnu. Krishna is called as Paripuurnatama with 16 radiations (Kalaas). In this way, all the three are accommodated without deleting anyone. Matsya, Kuurma, Varaaha, Narasimha, Vaamana, Parashuraama, Shri Raama, Balaraama, Buddha and Kalki are the 10 incarnations of God Krishna, who is Lord Vishnu directly.
