Lord Vishnu being
the protector of the Universe, comes down to the earth
in some form or other to protect and save his devotees.
The Lord says, that whenver there is an over abundance
of evil on earth, He will take an avataram to restore
the balance.
In every one of his avatarams he conveys a valuable
message. An asura, that is some form of evil is destroyed,
restoring peace.
Further, the Dasavatarams of Lord Vishnu follow the
theory of evolution as understood by us today. There
is a gradual development in the complexity of form taken
by the Lord - fish in Matsyavataram, tortoise in Kurmavataram,
boar in Varahavataram, half man half lion in Narasimhavataram,
a dwarf in Vamanavataram, an angry man unable to control
his anger in Parasuramavataram, the ideal human being
in Ramavatram, friend, philosopher and guide ( Geethobadesam)
in Krishnavataram. In Kalki avataram he is slated to
destroy the world when evil becomes uncontrollable and
thus establish the rule of dharma.
