Why does the Lord take Avatar ?
The Lord said in Geeta 4:6 that inspite of being unborn, ever-present and never ending and in spite of being the Lord of all creatures, He comes in the physical form by controlling and using the capabilities of Maya.
The question is-Why does the Lord take avatar? There are many reasons for doing so.
1. Whenever Dharma-righteousness-is in danger of being overturned by unrighteousness, then the Lord takes birth in physical form and comes in front of the people.(Geeta 4:7)
2. To liberate the sages and saints and to destroy the evil-doers and to re-establish righteousness (dharma) in society. (Geeta 4:7)
3. When the ethical and spiritual level of the people have fallen so low that there is no hope for them to reach the elevated level of the Lord, then the Lord comes down to the earth in the physical form so that the people may be helped. (more…)
