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…)
The Lord said that in the end days He would fill His devotees with His own essence. The reason is that in that time, the stock of mankind would plunge so low that there would be no other way to liberate the people.
(A) The Supreme Lord Narayana has taken avatar in India with His new name Kalki. He has taken avatar in the village of Sambhala on the 12thday of the ascending moon cycle in the month of Baisakh. He has been called by many different names and in the holy scripture August Samhita, the sage August Rishi has crecited his thousand names, Varah Puran, Chapter 48, Page No 94 called with 7 (seven) different names, Mahabharat, Van Parv called Him with the name of Kalki Vishnu Yasha and Shrimad Bhagawatam Maha Puran has also called Him with different name which is known but is not being revealed here.
The Lord saw that the heart of man was very weak and always full of worry, sorrow and tension. Therefore the Lord decided that He would assuage man’s heart by giving him twice of what he had lost. To fulfill this objective the Lord used Maya-who he controls-to create a human form for Himself and came to the earth in the form of Lord Kalki. On hearing the prayers of Radha, He took birth in the village of Sambhala that is on the border of Mathura-Vrindavan in the state of Uttarpradesh in India. Another purpose of His incarnation was to give protection to the pious people of the world and destroy the evil-seekers and evil-doers. On the 2nd day of Baisakh month, rising moon cycle, He took birth on the earth.
