RE: The Lonely Lord

From the Bhakti List Archives

Dear Sir,

This depiction of Lord made me curious to know - what do you meant by 
Arcchavatara, purnaavatara & Gnanavatara.

As far as Srimadbhagavata goes - it says that Purnavatara (of Lord Krishna) 
where he has taken everyone in Vaikuntam when he appeared in Earth.  The 
entire Vaikuntam is empty during this Dwapara Yuga.   The Gnanavatara 
refers to sage Kapila, Vyasa.  But I am new to this word Arcchavatara. 
Kindly let me know what is this and how many of his forms comes under this 
category.

Having gone through this mail, I can only think for a moment, that Lord is 
getting bored with our daily rituals and slokas which is getting repeated 
over and over again, and some times with poems recited by Dasas and other 
notable ones like Meera, Surdas etc.,   We should have to please him with 
something new (just like various gurus/swamis of our time) or just talk to 
him like ThiruviLakku Picchan.  What a bhaktha is he and How novel is the 
idea.  Sure & quick way of pleasing the Lord.

regards
sukumar

                                          The Lonely Lord

           The Lord must get pretty lonely in His arcchAvatAra, the form in 
which He is to be found in various temples. In His other forms, He is used 
to quite a crowd as company.
