Dear Shri Vasudevan,
Adding to Shri Sampath's statements.
It is told that that Good and Evil forces manifest in different manner.
1. During krutha yugam as Devaas & Asuraas
2. During thrEthaa yugam as Rishis and Raakshasaas.
3. During dwaapara yugam, it came within brothers in a family.
4. In Kali yugam, it is within oneself.
Moreover dharma was the base for earlier avatars. Now people think that mere
bhakthi will take them up. If bhakthi was the criteria, Ravana should have got
saved as he was revered Shiva bhaktha, sama vedi and brahmana. But due to his
adharmic acts only, he was eliminated by lord.
So there is no field for the god to get into an avatar now. Let us practice
dharma (dharmaa is not dhaanaa)rigourously and create a field for Lord to
manifest.
Thanks,
Srinath

Dear Mr.Vasudevan ,
your 10 year old daughter is very clever in asking this pertinent question.
Yes. Even many elders have this feeling , but due to shyness they refrain from
asking.
Probably you may answer her based on the following , which is my understanding
and may be some would explain it differently.
The avatars are taken by Lord , not only to remove evils but also to protect
the righteous person and the Dharma.
In today's world there could be many Duriodhanas, Ravanas and Hiranyakasapus.
But still the world has not perceived an Yudhishtra , Vibhishana or Prahlad.
So the Lord is waiting for that good soul to come to this earth so that he
could take the 10th Avatar and save all. So tell your daughter to develop in
herself the attributes of Prahalad and probably she could be a tool for Lord to
protect the universe.
Trust this will help you to answer your daughter.
yours Ramanuja Dasan - G.Sampath.

Dear Aasthikaas,
Namaskaram. I would like to take the liberty of posting here a
question from my 10 year old daughter, and seek a suitable answer to
quench her curiosity.
I was explaining to her the stories of the Dasa Avathaaras and told
her that as the final and 10th Avathara, the Lord will come to the
earth at the end of Kali Yuga as Kalki Avathara and destroy the evil
forces.
She wanted to know why the Lord should wait until the very end of
Kali Yuga to do this. She asked "Why does not he come earlier and
get rid of the evil forces". I could not think of a suitable answer
and wanted some guidance in this reply.
I hope someone would show me the path.
