Sathya Sai Baba Divine Avatar Avatar(a) is a Sanskrit word which literally means descent, entrance; incarnation and reincarnation. In this context it is always and exclusively used to express a divine incarnation. Avatars come into the world to help man transform his human nature into divine nature and to realize the divinity in him and his rightful place in the Kingdom of God. There have been many other avatars through the ages such as: Buddha, Krishna, Jesus, and Mohammed. "God sends sages, saints and prophets to unveil the Truth and Himself appears as an Avatar to awaken and liberate mankind. Two thousand years ago, when narrow pride and ignorance defiled mankind, Jesus came as the embodiment of Love and Compassion and lived among men, holding forth the highest ideals of life." Sathya Sai Baba For the protection of the virtuous, for the destruction of evil and for establishing righteousness on a firm footing, I incarnate from age to age. Whenever ashanti (disharmony) overwhelms the world, the Lord will incarnate in human form to establish the modes of earning prashanti (supra-peace) and to re-educate the human community in the paths of peace. . . " Sathya Sai Baba "I am in you and for you. Also, you are in Me and for Me. Still, I have an urge to tell you a little about Myself so as to guide you. I am not won by adulation or lost by denunciation. I am won by Truth, genuiness and sincerity. I have come wearing this human apparel to uphold the Truth, the Truth of all of you. I am the Truth of Truths, the truth in all truths. This Sai form bears the name Sathya (Truth). You may ask, why has Truth come on Earth in human form? To plant in man's heart the yearning for Truth, to place man on the road to Truth, and to help man reach the goal (of) Truth, by instruction and final illumination."
