Not much one knows in general about Avatars and Godmen. A chapter in Linda Goodman's book Starsigns, about Avatars ,did bring into focas this word, which I suppose means God being represented in human form. Please correct me if I am wrong. Sathya sai baba ,who made the small town Puthaparathy, in Andhra Pradesh state in India,passed away yesterday--- it was a Easter sunday and also the birthdate of Sachin Tendulkar--- I believe Sachin took personal blessings from him too .
What is the difference between Avatars and Godmen ? The avatar is ,I guess, the actual manifestation of God in a human being ; and Godmen are ---- well , i am not sure!! I guess these men and women are devotees of major Gods or Godessess and are very knowledgable and holy .
Was Jesus Christ an avatar? I would think so.
I have not really been a follower of Sathya sai baba, so to say. But , I most certainly have open mindedly seen several miracles when his photo was nearby . He had over 100 million followers worldwide. I have read books written by people of foreign origin ,who came to him to satisfy a curiosity and became his devout followers .
Would i have liked to be a stronger follower of him? I don't think so. I strongly believe in the belief that God has come in human form several times in mankind's history. They have a pattern . Usually they start very early in life and seem to be puppets in the hands of some supreme power ,which we refer to God.
Who am I to say this , however ,I'll say it anyway "may his soul rest in peace ".
Being very honest with you--- I did not say that even when my dearest mother died (1991).
