Light of His Teachings over Darkness What Swami means to me Conclusion

Sri Sathya Sai Baba Centre, Queenstown

Avatar, how is this expression derived? "Ava Thru Karane“

Therefore, the basic concept of an Avatar is really to set us on the path of liberation.

That is the most important aspect of the Avatar.

• Descent Ava • Make you cross the ocean of Samsaara Thura • Help you cross the ocean of the delusion and the

illusion of the world Karane


The Divine descending to Earth to eradicate evil and to foster the good.

Deepest descent into matter and form

The appearance of the Avatar coincides with the darkest hour of the Kali Yuga.

In Short, an Avatar is –

God descending on earth on the verge of chaos To still the storm raging in the hearts of men To revive and re-vitalise Dharma


Material Peace is never everlasting…

Every Yuga, a part of the Human Value is driven off course

Avatar’s come down to uproot all evil qualities

Rama Krishna

Kali Yuga – All values are threatened

The Paramathman thus descends down Sai Avatar – First and Last of its kind


In the Last Century Documented Massive inhumanity to man Brutalization / Demonization of man 2 Great World Wars 400 so called “Minor Wars” Colonialism / Imperialism / Fascism….. Un-Documented Swami has mentioned 15000 wars in kali yuga

Isn't this the appropriate time for an Avatar to come for pacification… Establish Peace, Love and Universal Fellowship


• The Plenary Incarnation, like Vaamana. • The young boy who humbles the pride of Emperor Bali.

1. Amsha Avatar

• They come with certain functional powers. • Like Dhanvanthari, for instance, who propagated the life saving

specialised Science of Aayurvedha.

2. Kalaa Avatars

• The Revolutionary Avatars. • They appear at one time, one place with one purpose, like

Parashuraama and Narasimha (half man, half lion).

• Krishna was the Leela Avatar. • 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

5. Leela Avatar

• Like Rama, 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.

6. Maaya Avatar

• Bhagavan Sathya Sai Baba. • The glory of His mahimas, miracles from birth till now,

day in and day out, 365 days in a year, • 83 years of extraordinary expression of divine powers. • The world 'miracle' has become a common expression,

in respect of Baba.

7. Vibhuuthi Avatar

• Most Avatars destroy a specific entity and uproot evil • If swami were to do this, none will survive • He will transform every individual

Specialty of the Triple Sai Avatar

• On October 20, 1940 (Sunday), Swami lost his collar pin and with that the veil of Maya disappeared.

• The worldly attachment left Him in the form of the collar pin.

•Summation


"One has to understand the oneness of the three incarnations, Pathri Sai (Shirdi Sai), Parthi Sai (Sathya Sai) and Prema Sai. The powers and their tasks are the same though there might be some differences according to the environment and situation. Shirdi Sai laid the basis for secular and spiritual integration and His message is Duty or Work. The mission of this Avatar is to make man realise the Divinity residing in everyone and enable them to help one and all. Thus work should become an act of worship. The third Avatar will make man realise he himself is God - that is wisdom. The three Avatars stand for Work, Worship and Wisdom.“
