Bhagavan and Amma	Shri Bhagavan was formerly known as 'Kalki’, or ‘Kalki Bhagavan’. He had never claimed to be Kalki himself, but he does acknowledge himself as an Avatar. As it has been said, “an avatar comes to Earth in response to humanity’s call when there is a certain level of stagnation, and he comes with a specialized mission. An avatar is the descent of higher consciousness. It need not necessarily be a spiritual being. For instance, Gandhi was an avatar of non-violence, and Einstein was an avatar of physics. Any higher consciousness taking birth can be called an avatar.” He refers to himself as the Avatar of Enlightenment. His mission is to give enlightenment to the world. Many consider Bhagavan to be a ‘Poorna Avatar’, a total embodiment of divinity. It is said that Bhagavan’s mission is to kindle a collective manifestation of divinity in the mass consciousness of the planet. (references)
