Srimathe Ramanujaya namah.
 
Jai Sri Krishna
 
Following on from the previous point.  Accroding to Gitaji the Lord comes to protect the good and destory wicked, however the main reason for his decent is to be close to his great bhaktas who he loves so much.  So lest ask our selves are there many Yashodas, Nandababas, Gopis, Prahlads, Kaushalyas, etc.. in our world today?
 
Also we need to remember the theology behind the Vibhava avatara.  Bhagavan comes down very occasionaly and only they very pious can see Him in this form.  The Last major descent of Sri Krishna was 5000 years ago which in vedic cosmic time is very recent.  So it it may be too soon for Bhagavn to come now.  We also need to remember that the work of the Avatara continues after he departs, he leaves teachings and pastimes that devotees remember which in turn continues to save us.  So we are still reading Gita, Ramayana etc...So the prescence of Krishna is still with us in the teaching of Gita! 
 
Secondly according to SriVaisnava theoloy the murthi in mandirs is also avatara (Archa avatara) and should be viewed as Bhagavan himself and not a simple representation or symbol.
 
Finaly we still have many great Mahatmas who are present on this earth who can lead us to Him, such as HH Cinna Jeeyar swami. 
 
So in summary Bhagavan can take Avatara at His own will and pleasure, but we must have the strong desire to see him!

(long ago I read this from the magazine 'Thuglak').

Genereally going by various avatars, it can be said
that there are two elements for an avatar to take
place

1. dushta nigraha and 2. shista paripalayana. Sure
there are dushtas all over but God is waiting for just
one pure devotee (shista) to be saved from the former.

Maybe the Lord (Sriman Narayana) is trying to find
that one sincere devotee ???
