Avatarhood: Human and Divine

compiled by Paulette Hadnagy

This book consists of a selection of Sri Aurobindo'’s texts highlighting the dual nature of the Avatar as human and divine, as it emerges in its infinite complexity. All aspects of this multifaceted diamond, complementary to each other, are equally necessary. The Avatar’'s mission is not only to restore the dharma or ethical law and lead society one step forward but, in his divine humanness, he also points the way for mortals in their quest for perfection.
