Vishnu’s Avataras

This world contains two essences – jeevaamsa (living essence) and paramaatmaamsa (absolute and
supreme essence). Planets are the manifestations of different aspects of these essences. Vishnu’s
incarnations happened with these essences taken from various planets.

Meena/Matsya avatara (fish) came from Ketu. Koorma avatara (tortoise) came from Saturn.
Varaaha/sookara avatara (boar) came from Rahu. Narasimha/Nrisimha avatara (half-man, half-lion)
came from Mars. Vaamana avatara (learned dwarf) came from Jupiter. Parasu Rama/Bhaargava Rama
came from Venus. Rama came from Sun. Krishna came from Moon. Buddha came from Mercury.

All these incarnations came into being with a significant percentage of paramaatmaamsa (supreme
essence) than jeevaatmaamsa (living essence). Rama, Krishna, Narasimha and Varaha avataras had only
paramaatmaamsa.

Other living beings are born with a significant percentage of jeevaamsa and a little of paramaatmaamsa
from the planets.
