MICHAEL WALSH: Many outwardly ordinary humans are imbued with supernatural powers and are commonly known as avatars.

These manifestations whilst they are on earth are empowered to act as does a lightning conductor in receiving and sharing among the mortals the word of the Deity.

God has arisen or will arise? We wait and see but in the meantime, the Great Redeemer sends his messengers among us to carry out his work. Some avatars will drive the serpents out of the temples, the churches, synagogues, the institutions the parliaments and the congress and senate hosta to fortune and fate.

The Deity or Divine Spirit – God is known by different names according to religion practice and culture. Given powers more equal than others, avatars are emissaries of God. These avatars are messengers of the Divine Spirit.

The Hindus believe an avatar is a manifestation of a deity or soul released in human form to carry the deity’s message during their mortal existence on earth.

For those of us who don’t practice Hinduism, it technically means an incarnation, embodiment, or manifestation of a person who acting on the Deity’s commands brings their gift to the world.

Avatars are envoys or messengers of God. They are certain people who bear divine gifts and are superhuman with paranormal powers.

CAN WE IDENTIFY AVATARS?

Most avatars identify themselves as messengers of God so recognizing an avatar is not difficult nor is it intended to be problematic.

As Nicolas Tesler reminds us, the mind is a receiver. The great composers of classical music universally refuse to accept praise or take credit for their work.

Their minds acted as receivers. In other words, like all avatars, they know that they are simply acting as stenographers for God’s music. Beethoven, Schubert, Wagner, Bruckner whose symphony provided the last lament of the Third Reich, Verdi, and many others, it can be presumed that all great achievers thank God for their gift.

‘You don’t need faith to believe in God, because there are plenty of signs available of His existence. Mozart wrote a symphony as a child. Heredity cannot account for this.

There is only one explanation: the Creator chooses people as His instruments to produce some beauty in a world that is all too ugly.’  – Herbert von Karajan.

‘I know several young composers who are atheists. I have read their scores, and I assure you, Joseph, that they are doomed to speedy oblivion because they are utterly lacking in inspiration. Their works are purely cerebral. No atheist has ever been or ever will be a great composer.’  – Johannes Brahms in conversation with the violinist Joseph Joachim (1831 – 1907). Quoted in Arthur M. Abell: Talks with Great Composers. (1955).

‘In my study, I can lay my hand on the Bible in the pitch dark. All truly inspired ideas come from God. The powers from which all truly great composers like Mozart, Schubert, Bach and Beethoven drew their inspirations is the same power that enabled Jesus to do his miracles.’ ~ Johannes Brahms

ANTONIN DVORAK ‘Life was a much-uncomplicated thing to him. Instead of turmoil or neuroticism or dark brooding, we encounter a simple and sincere piety, such as only the deeply religious man is capable of.’ – A writer’s observation of the Czech composer.

Walter Legge, the impresario was later to remark of Dinu Lipatti: ‘By the same light we may say it is not enough to be a great pianist: To play as Dinu Lipatti played you must be a chosen instrument of God. God lent the world His chosen instrument whom we called Dini Lipatti for too brief a space.’ Walter Legge.

RECENT AVATARS

Carl Gustav Jung (1865-1961) Swiss psychiatrist, psychotherapist and pioneering theorist who founded the School of Psychology compared Adolf Hitler to Mohammed.

“I consider Adolf Hitler to be the greatest figure in the world, and the repercussions of his visions, thoughts and action would be impossible to calculate today.

“If we were to think in Indo-Aryan fashion, as Savitri Devi did, we must see in Hitler an incarnation of the divinity, an Avatar, as in the title of my book Adolf Hitler, the Last Avatar.”

By all means, have a hissy fit and then reflect; For 300 years after his crucifixion, the name Jesus Christ could not be said without an oath or spitting.

NAPOLEON AND PUTIN

Much the same can be said of Napoleon Bonaparte who was vilified and pilloried as is Hitler and Vladimir Putin of Russia. Today, Napoleon’s tributes, busts and images are everywhere.

Shaktyavesh Avatar is a type of incarnation, Avatar of God as in Hinduism. Whenever the Lord (as you identify with the omnipotent spirit) is present in someone by portions of His various potencies, the living entity representing the omnipotent spirit is called a śaktyāveśa-avatāra; an incarnation invested with a special power.

LEVELS OF AVATARS

There are other levels of the avatar but a Shaktyavesha avatar is when the Lord empowers the existence and sustenance of a mortal entity with the potency of God Himself. (Jesus, Hitler, Beethoven, Tsar Nicholas II etc.)

An avatar of God in Sanatana Dharma represents the Eternal Natural Way, Law, and Order of the universe. Unlike other avatars which are emissaries of the Lord Himself, a Shaktyavesha avatar is when the Lord empowers a living entity with the potency of God Himself.

Shakti means Power; Avesha means endowed; Avatar means one who descends from the spiritual realm, incarnation. So, a Sakthiavesha avatar means a Spiritual person who is empowered (temporarily) by God to do a specific task.

Sakthiavesha Avatar usually happens when the world, especially nature, the eternal or righteousness is in great peril due to the menace of a large number of relatively less powerful demonic entities, be it human or non-human. PLEASE SHARE OUR STORIES
