Ayya Vaikundar, who arose from the sea at Thiruchendur on 20th of the Tamil Month of Masi was considered as an unique Avatar. Akilam speaks about it in a grand manner. First of all in the previous aeons the fragments of Kroni came in with their own physical forms and Lord Narayana incarnated in each aeons and destroyed them. But in the case of Kali, not to be confused with the Hindu deity, he had no physical form and he occupied the mind of People as Mayai(illusion) and tends them to behave discourteous. Also as per the boons Kaliyan claims it was impossible to destroy him as the previous ones. On speaking about that Akilam says "Munnindru kolla Moovaralume arithu" which means It was impossible even for Trimurthi to destroy, by opposing him. Also Kaliyan claims the birth of gods , birth of Brahmins etc as boons. So it was impossible for Narayan or anyothers to incarnate directly in the world to destroy him. Also Kaliyan had promised that if he made trouble to any Pantaram on earth in future all his boons can be forfeited from him and he will go dying in to the hell . So Kaliyan will be destroyed if only he troubles any Pantarams on earth.

As mentioned earlier God cannot incarnate here. So inorder to making it possible God incarnated as Vaikundar in Kali Yukam and the avatar performed in three stages. Here it is necessary to say the three forms, Body, Mind and Soul and from here things should be viewed with care. The first stage of Avatar is a child was born-dead for Ponnu Nadar and Veylaal in Poovandanthoppe . This is the first stage. Then the soul of Sampooranathevan was installed in to the body. Then the Karanasarira of Narayana kept in Parvatha Ucchi Malai after the completion of Krishna Avatar was installed. So in other words this is a combined being of a human body, a deva’s soul and Narayana’s mind. Akilam says about this as Seitha satamathai sumakka satam partthu, Meyyisayume Nathan Meythiniyil Pirakkacchythar, Satam Pirakka Lokam Thattu mika maari, Utan Pirakkaccheythar Ulakalanthore Karppanaiyaal. This was the second stage of the Avatar. This is the seventh of the Eight Yukams according to Ayyavazhi Mythology ... With regard to living things, a body is the integral physical material of an individual, and contrasts with soul, personality and behavior. ... The mind is the term most commonly used to describe the higher functions of the human brain, particularly those of which humans are subjectively conscious, such as personality, thought, reason, memory, intelligence and emotion. ...

In Hinduism, an avatar is the incarnation (bodily manifestation) of an Immortal Being, or of the Ultimate Supreme Being. ... Lord Krishna Krishna (कृष्ण, Sanskrit for black. Also said to mean All Attractive), is, according to common Hindu tradition, the eighth avatar of Vishnu. ... In Hinduism, an avatar is the incarnation (bodily manifestation) of an Immortal Being, or of the Ultimate Supreme Being. ...


This person who is the combination of the three is Sampooranathevan or Muthukutty. (The name Muthukutty is not mentioned even once in Akilam). Samporanathevan is the one who went into the sea before the Avatar of Ayya Vaikundar, by placing the body in Tharuvai, a place nearby. On saying more, the Mind of Narayana along with the soul of Sampooranathevan went into the sea. There in the sea, Soul of Sampooranathevan was granted Heaven. Then the soul of God or Paramatma along with the Karanasarira of Narayana came over the sea as Vaikundar and take the human body placed earlier from Tharuvai and procede to Detchanam as a Pantaram. So Vaikundar is not a human, not Narayana, and not the God (Moolamurthi) on the other hand he is a Human and he is God and he is Narayana, who had the responsibility to destroy all the six fragments of Kroni, as told by Sivan earlier. Also all the powers of Sivan and Nathan were surrendered within Narayana as Kali Yukam ascends because, Kaliyan was created unlike previous Yukams without in discussion with Narayana, with the compeltion of Devas. Such a technique was practiced to overcome the boons which were offered to Kaliyan. Since the Karanasarira of Narayana was installed to Vaikundar, he was called as the son of Narayana on the other hand as the son of Moolamurthi or Ekam superior to Trimurthi. Sampooranathevan was a mythical figure found in Ayyavazhi mythology, who was later transformed to Ayya Vaikundar. ... The heavens are the sky, the celestial sphere, or outer space. ... In Hindu theology, Paramatman is Absolute Atman or Supreme Soul. ... Detchanam literally means south or the land of south. ... This page is a candidate to be moved to Wiktionary. ...
