[@NotSL0TH17]

As a Hindu myself, the best way to explain it is that the divine forms of the Gods are so powerful that simply being in their presence would reduce mortal humans to less than nothing. Its a bit similar to how the Gods in the Percy Jackson Series cant be looked at in divine form by mortals. Might be where Riordan drew inspiration from TLDR, Hindu gods are so strong that even when nerfed in mortal form, they're still extremely powerful

[@amelianyoom9545]

That Percy Jackson thing is actually myth accurate, there’s a whole thing where Zeus gets it on with Semele, he tells her that he’s Zeus and then later Hera comes along as an old woman I think and tells her that in order for him to prove it she should get him to reveal his true form, Semele gets a promise out of Zeus then she tells him to do it, having made a promise he does it and she’s vaporised, Dionysus is then born after spending a few months as a foetus tied to Zeus leg 😂

[@adityakumarsharma5766]

This is a profound question about the nature of avatars (अवतार) in Hinduism, particularly about Vishnu’s incarnations like Krishna and Vamana. At first glance, it does seem paradoxical that the avatars retain god-like powers while taking human or other mortal forms. However, the concept of avatar is rich with layers of philosophical meaning, and the key to resolving this paradox lies in understanding the purpose and nature of divine incarnation. In Hinduism, especially as described in texts like the Bhagavad Gita and Puranas, when a deity like Vishnu incarnates as an avatar, several things happen: 1. Deliberate Limitation of Divine Power: Although avatars like Krishna and Vamana perform miraculous feats, they typically do not exhibit their full godly power at all times. Krishna himself explains in the Bhagavad Gita (4.6-7) that he descends into the world while deliberately limiting his omnipotence (maya), only using divine power when necessary. This is called yogamaya (the self-imposed veil of illusion), where the avatar takes on human-like qualities and experiences, though they remain fully aware of their divine nature. Bhagavad Gita 4.6: “Though I am unborn and eternal, the Lord of all beings, I manifest through my own power, veiling myself with maya.” Bhagavad Gita 4.7: “Whenever there is a decline in righteousness, O Bharata, and a rise in unrighteousness, then I manifest myself.” 2. Experience of the Human Condition: One of the main purposes of avatars is to demonstrate dharma (righteousness) in human life, to show the ideal way to live. Krishna lived through the full range of human emotions-love, friendship, war, and politics-allowing mortals to relate to his experiences. However, he remains aware of his divine self, as seen when he reveals his universal form to Arjuna (in the Vishvarupa in Bhagavad Gita 11). Even though the avatar may still have access to vast powers, they experience human challenges and emotions. In this sense, they voluntarily "limit" themselves by accepting the constraints of the human condition-birth, growth, death-so they can relate to the mortals they come to guide. 3. Lila - Divine Play: Avatars engage in lila (लीला), or divine play, where they act out their roles with the understanding that the world is ultimately a play of illusion (maya). Krishna balancing the Govardhan mountain or Vamana expanding to fill the universe are expressions of this playful aspect of the divine. These miracles are not displays of godly arrogance but acts within the larger cosmic drama to restore balance to the world. The focus is not on power but on fulfilling the purpose of the avatar-upholding dharma. 4. Perception of Mortality by Others: Another key element is that the mortals around them often perceive the avatar as a fellow human or divine figure but do not fully comprehend their godhood. Krishna is seen as a charioteer, a warrior, a lover, and a prince by different people, but only a few, like Arjuna, understand his true divine nature. In Mahabharata, Krishna’s divinity is always there, but only revealed selectively, as in the Vishvarupa episode. Mahabharata, Udyoga Parva 66.5: Krishna states, “I am the eternal cause of the world, the supreme soul. But, O Arjuna, I manifest myself in different forms for the sake of protecting dharma.” 5. Mortality and Death: An important difference when gods take on mortal form is that they experience the conditions of mortal life, including suffering and death. While Krishna and Rama live powerful lives, they still undergo the pains and limitations of the mortal body-Krishna is eventually killed by a hunter’s arrow, Rama suffers separation from Sita. This shows that, in their human form, they are not exempt from the laws of nature and karma, even though they have divine origins. Thus, while avatars like Krishna and Vamana display miraculous powers, they still "give up" certain aspects of their divine omnipresence, omnipotence, and omniscience. They consciously choose to live within the boundaries of the human experience to fulfill their cosmic purpose. In summary, the main things that change when gods take mortal form are: A voluntary limitation on the use of divine powers, only using them when necessary. A deep engagement with the human condition, experiencing emotions, relationships, and challenges as mortals do. An acceptance of the physical limitations of mortality, such as the body’s vulnerabilities, pain, and death. But the divine essence of the avatar remains unchanged. The seeming paradox is a divine strategy: while outwardly they appear to be living like mortals, they retain their cosmic purpose and divinity, working to uphold dharma.

I mean, Krishna had the entire cosmos inside his mouth even as a baby and chided Arjuna for making fun of Karna for only shaking his (Arjuna's) chariot with his (Karna's) arrows since the chariot in question was being driven and protected by effin' KRISHNA, so Karna's arrows were essentially shaking the entire universe.

Its actually quite simple, the answer to it is in the Rig ved itself, In Sanatan, Adi-Shakti-parambrham (almighty source of all reality) is Described as SattaChityaAnant, Meaning Satta ( the ultimate reality), Chitya(the universal consciousness) and anant ( omnipresent infinite), So if something is omnipresent, how is anyone supposed to observe it ? So thats why he/she takes forms which are observable to human eye.

[@S.M.MahfuzulHaque]

[@shubhamgurjar7432]

The purpose of Avatars is to create a balance between good and evil not to eradicate evil completely, if there's so much evil he is parshuram or kalki, if it's moderate he ram or krishna or buddha, if there's so much goodness he will create effects for the birth of evil like sending Mahabali a great virtuous king to paatal or by a massive tsunami so there will be scarcity of resources and people start fighting among each other; whole purpose is to create balance maintain balance b/w brahma shiva stuff

Krishna is a role model for a person who wants to go beyond the boundary of mortality. Who wants to break from Maya. Every avatar has its reasons. Hare Krishna ❤ Hare Ram.

[@K1NG_CREEPER]

the concept is that: whatever comes on earth is bound in law that is,whatever has a begging has a end too that is if there is birth there defineltly is death so gods take on the form of mortals as even they cannot escpae this law, 2) also they take forms just to accomplsh a certain tasks ,after doing that they return ot heavans 3) Not all form have those mystic power, Lord Krishna had those became he came to earth to fight very big evils and threaths, while the 7th avatr Lord Rama lived his entire life as a mortal king whith extraordinary mortal feats

[@ujjwalpandey7662]

I am Hindu from Kashi. Explanation for the reason is, every Avatar of Vishnu or Shiva has a reason,they have no problem in taking their true divine form as Krishna take his true form ( Vishwaroop) at end of the Gita. The reason we take Avatar is to fulfill certain conditions . In case of Ram, only a normal human can kill Ravan ( Asura King). Similarly is a case for every other Avatar of any God or Goddess.

[@anuragmistry63]

To show that even God who takes birth has to live throughout cycle of life with the pain and suffering. 1. Ram lived years in yearning for his wife 2. Shri Krishna was cursed and died in pain and suffering. And so on The whole point is that even God when take birth in 'bhu loka' (earth) have to fulfil their destiny and perform their duties. Hence the famous quote from bhagwad geeta. Keep doing good deeds without thinking of fruits of labour.

First of all, thank you for being respectful, even when asking questions. That is the primary goal of Sanatan Dharma-to encourage questioning and seeking the truth. Bharat is a land of seekers. Yes, indeed, divine beings have come to Earth, but throughout their lives, they lived as common human beings. However, Shree Krishna had to protect his people when Lord Indra caused heavy rains, leading to floods that forced the entire city to seek higher ground. To save the people, Krishna had to intervene with divine actions. He came to Earth to combat evil and, more importantly, to guide humanity toward realizing their true nature. If he had chosen, he could have ended the entire Mahabharata war within seconds. I mean no disrespect to any other religion, but Sanatan Dharma is not confined to a single book; it is much more intricate and vast. It encompasses the Vedas, Upanishads, and much more. When it comes to knowledge, the Vedas themselves are over 200,000 years old. They are written in Chhand Bhasha, an ancient version of Sanskrit, which is considered the mother of all languages in the world.

[@nishanths4730]

There's a lot of changes, the problem is in think thinking of so called "power levels", so basically the cosmic power of these gods are immeasurable. So you can't tell that the mortal form is fullest in their power, cause their fullest of power is much much greater.

They usually come as an avatar to re-establish dharma and accomplish some specific task like killing a demon who can be killed only under certain conditions. In case of Krishna, earth was overburdened with unrighteous kings. So Krishna avatar always had access to his full godly powers but he only accessed them in situations where it was necessary to remind people that their misdeeds won't go unpunished. All his leelas were for the benefit of his devotees usually giving the message that the all powerful God can be moved by pure love and devotion. If you surrender yourself completely to him and call his name, lord will come running to help you.

*For example, if you light one lamp from another, both are the same, as they share the same fire. Similarly, Vishnu does not come directly because there is no 'direct' arrival. He is always present, both within us and around us. When he materializes to interact with the world, it is called an avatar. The avatar and Ishwara are the same-they are simply different manifestations of the supreme reality. In fact, even Shiva, Vishnu, and Shakti are all expressions of this singular divine essence. There are temples where Krishna is worshipped as Kali, illustrating the interconnectedness of these forms. We are not polytheists. We believe in a singular, supreme consciousness, of which the world is a diverse manifestation.

For Vamana, Vishnu assumed that avatar mainly for the look of it; the unassuming child’s appearance was used to trick a king into granting him the permission to step on three footsteps of “land”, one of which was that king’s head when vamana grew to size; there’s no indication that the form was actually mortal tho. And as for Krishna, no clue why that avatar was actually necessary since other ppl in his lifetime can alrdy tell it’s actually Vishnu so I don’t see a point in staying in that form long term if the secret’s out 😅.

For your doubt that, "for Krishna, no clue why that avatar was actually necessary since other ppl in his lifetime can alrdy tell it’s actually Vishnu so I don’t see a point in staying in that form long term if the secret’s out "..............Lord Krishna's avatar described by you is the original look of God when he expresses himself in physical form. It is not a secret which he may want to hide. Actually, you get it mis-understood because you think that Krishna is Vishnu's avatar. It is actually the opposite. It is God Krishna, who creates His second layer as- Maha Vishnu, who then creates his third layer as Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. Then this physical universe is born (by Brahma), preserved by (Vishnu and NOT Maha Vishnu) and temporarily annihilated (by Mahesh). In this physical world, normally only the Vishnu takes repeated incarnations before every temporary annihilation. Only in last cycle, God Krishna Himself takes incarnation. After this, Kalyuga starts, which will end with last avatar of Vishnu, that is, Lord Kalki. This is when complete annihilation referred to in Biblical religions as Judgement Day will happen. After which a completely new universe will be formed again by God Krishna (not Maha Vishnu or Lord Vishnu)

@@Batega_toh_Katega_Hindu_108 Actually, Santana dharma is so vast. It has innumerable layers on layers. And these are layers, these are not rankings of superiority. What you call as (Vaishnavism), (Shaktism) and (Shaivism), I call them as 3 primordial forms of existence and pre-existence/post-void (Shaivism). In modern science, we may call them as (Tangible Matter but Krishna puts soul/consciousness into it), (Energy) and (Dark Matter or unmanifest matter) respectively. When we are talking on the subject of The Vaishnavistic form of existence, that is, when dealing with tangible matter and soul, or in other words, mainly life forms like humans, animals, plants etc., we should describe the reality more through the layers of Krishna, by keeping Him in the central position, because for the purpose of Manifest Matter/Body and soul, Krishna is more relevant than Shiva (unmanifest reality) or Shakti (energy that manifests the unmanifest). You may call it propagation of Vaishnavism but it is actually the process of focusing on the subject matter. This is, what I did while I was replying to cheongjingnan4242 above and this is how Krishna also describes Himself in Bhagwat Gita: BG 10.20: O Arjun, I am seated in the heart of all living entities. I am the beginning, middle, and end of all "beings" that is, life forms. The Bhāgavatam also states: harirhi sākṣhādbhagavān śharīriṇāmātmā jhaṣhāṇāmiva toyamīpsitam (5.18.13)[v22], “God is the ātmā of the ātmā (Soul of the soul) of all living beings.”

Is god that weak? Answer is Gandhari is very well a mortal but she earned power through her loyalty and her devotion to her husband ,her husband was blind ,so she also put a blind fold for her entire life so she will feel everything her husband does and also Krishna wronged her and her children as he has to for good so the curse came for pure heart of mother which was accepted so as to show that even god will have to accept judgement of wronged mother

Partially true, but lifting a mountain one single finger is the least impressive of krishna's feats. Even amongst the other hindu gods, Vishnu is practically the strongest. He breathes in and destroys multiverses and when he breathes out multiverses are created (in his strongest form, not an avatar). Krisna had summoned different versions of Brahma the creator god from other universes to just showthe brahma of this universe that he is miniscule in the grand scheme of things. Apart from the obvious "too powerful to be seen" answer, Hindu gods capable of making avatars do so to interact with mortals and give them stories and life lessons.

Actually when they are born as avatars they develope a totally different personality also an avatar takes birth and dies after their work in the human world is done.Also when they come to us as avatars they always give us a lesson which helps us to live through the yugas and for the powers and stuff because the body can be of mortal but the soul is of paramatma who is beyond everything also an avatar can Also sometimes become something else for example Ashwatthaama who became some what of evil. Also krishna,Rama, sharabha and other avatars of lord Shiva and vishnu are born and left their body after their work is done.One more thing about avatars is that they are different from the forms taken by shiv and Vishnu some of the differences are that avatars are born and forms are taken by their true self,an avatar after it's work is done either leaves it's body or gets assigned to some perpose for example kal bhairav as avatar of Shiva who is assigned as the protector of universe, Hanuman who is blessed as a chiranjeevi and is waiting for the final avatar of Vishnu who is kalki.

Yooo mate, nice question. 1) When a god comes as a mortal, he becomes a aprt of the Karmic cycle. Whatever the previous avatar karma were acquired, they experience the result of them. 2) For meeting a god in its actual form, the normal mortal would have to gain spiritual enlightenment and all, but to interact with god in human form is possible without any of it. 3) They have some sort of power and access to divine spiritual energy based on the role they are supposed to play. Ram/buddha did not have divine powers, but others had some specifically to the situation they were subjected to face. When Krishna showed his ultimate form to Arjuna oh his request, Arjun was not able to handle the vastness, and begged to come back in his mortal form. Basically a very complicated matter on surface level, if you are aware of smaller details its manageable, and the extreme nuances are for the sages to gain enlightenment.

He preached morals and values, just not by just writing them down but by practicing them himself as a mortal being. ° If you are curious about Hinduism, I'd highly recommend you to give a read to Bhagwad Geeta, it's a great book which will surely help you navigate and understand Hinduism as a philosophy.

From what I've understood after reading the epics, avatars can (and do) only use a small fraction of the powers of their true self in times of specific needs. They are still bound to the rules of the mortal realm (as in, everything that is born must die). And the moments when they release the powers of their true self, things get pretty hairy.

And if you say vishnu should look after the preservation of universe and help humans at same time, it would be just better to do everything himself then whats the point of assigning different duties to different gods and even creating the universe? The main reason universe was born because the paramatma felt lonely and bored all around by himself. Also if he didn't come here in mortal form how he will experience the feel of life and being a human, also he gives us teachings(greatest ex. Bhagvat Gita) and lilas(basically plays of god). There wouldn't be any point doing things all by himself, how will a human grow then? Also there isn't one vishnu or any other god they are all ANANT(innumerable). Its better for human that they can see god in different forms as they wish right? For some he's son, for some father, for some friend, for some teacher and etc etc. Wouldn't you like to live with god on a daily basis as a part of your fam? You wouldn't be able to show the same affection towards him due his status and respect in his true form right?

[@ronakpatel7645]

Avatars aren't necessarily a restriction, they're taken for a purpose, everything from what they do in their lives to their appearence and species is for a specific purpose. For example Lord Vishnu's Narasimha Avatar which was half man and half lion, was taken to kill an Asura who had recieved specific boons that rendered him invincible to most beings. Lord Vishnu essentially found a loophole that left him vulnerable to that specific being and defeated him. Lord Vishnu had to be a human to beat Ravana because of his boons as well. Lord Krishna is an Avatar with no restrictions and he actually showed Arjuna his true form, in which he was literally everything, including the other forms of God. Also Shree Krishna often reffered to himself as Lord Vishnu, whereas other Avatars of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva don't do this, or do it rarely. However this doesn't mean that Lord Krishna is a 'better' or more powerful avatar of Lord Vishnu, all Avatars at any point can use their infinite power or knowledge but choose not to. Avatars are classed into categories but its not by how God like they are as they are all 100% God, but they're categorised by how much divinity they show, a subtle but key difference. Side note but something interesting to consider is that Hinduism believes that God has infinite Avatars, and that he descends when ever and where ever to maintain righteousness and teach the correct path, meaning that somewhere out there in the universe on an alien planet, they could have the same religion with the same teachings but worhsip complety different Avatars.

Avatars are like capsules of their true energy... And to deal with the people, he gains a mortal body and has his fun with a boundary limit.... Also one of the reasons is, that every avatar has a divine teaching which can enlighten every person, shiva or vishnu with an ambition to teach us smtg important which can be used in our day to day life our in later situations of our life

Because you can only see their human forms, as to see their original form you need DIYVA DRISHTI(special vision) as mentioned in Mahabharata. Krishna also gave divya drishti to Arjun for a short time to show his original form. It's also mentioned in Bhagwad Geeta that Krishna gave divya drishti to Arjun for a short time to show his original form. Read Mahabharata for more, hope it helps!

That's called a Leela A play To demonstrate the path of Dharma It changes the way you look at things, to emulate those qualities while living as human, when things are right, the God within you will access that power and make you lift mountains with your pinky😇

those mortal bodies are need to kill the demon or bad guy....it may me because of some boon the villam got like he can't be killed by God or other powerful beings except human(in ramayan, ram avatar),can't be killed by a existing organisation (narshimha avatar),a demon who grant any wish of a brahmin (vaman avatar)..if lord Vishnu really came instead of the mortal bodies he could easily kill the villian even if the demon has boon(no boon can protect u if he come).....but to fulfill the promise of the boon for truth and virtue he do the role play.....

[@ashutoshbiswal5356]

I would just say that there is an instance in the Mahabharata war when Arjuna and Karna were fighting, some of the arrows from Karna started hitting Krishna, and when that happened, Lord Hanuman, who was stationed on the chariot for protecting the chariot got angry and started chattering teeth and staring violently at Karna. The surrounding warriors, including Karna, could not take it, and they started to fall on their chariot. Krishna stopped Hanuman from doing that and said that people from this yuga couldn't stand his anger and would die if he continued doing that.

Brother, just imagine, krishna in his youth did that, forget imagining, we just can't imagine what vishnu is capable of doing

So the concept of avatar of narayan is he came with a form that was required at the time. Like in matsya avatar he helped the saptarishi and others navigate the pralay. In kurma he stabilized the mountain on his back which was used during samudra manthan. Vamana avatar was like that bcz Bali would underestimate him, in parasuram he was the crossover between two class and ended the stereotype. In rama avatar he was the perfect man who became the idol human for all and as krishna he was the cunning politician which was needed at the time. And the powers he never just outright showed off too and only used it when needed things to get balanced
