Why lord Krishna is called 16 kala sampoorn . and lord ram consist of 14 kala.. Recently one of my friend questioned me why is lord krishna called 16 kala sampoorna and lord ram consists of 14 kala’s where as both are lord Vishnu avatar.?? First of all the question is what are these 16 kala’s? why Krishna Avatara alone as Poorna Avatara? :-16 kala’s are: 1) Anna Maya (with cereals) 2) Pranamaya (with breath) 3) Mano Maya (with mind) 4) Vigyanamaya (with knowledge) 5) Anandamaya (with joy) 6) Atishayini (With Peace) 7) Viparinabhini (With Love) 8) Sankramini (With Creator) 9) Prabhavi (able to do seemingly impossible tasks) 10) Kunthini 11) Vikasini (विकासिन्j. great ) 12) Maryadini (highly respected or with etiquette) 13) Sanhaladini (संह्लादिन् . cheering, a source of happiness) 14) Ahladini (आह्लादिन् . causing joy or delight) 15) Paripurna (complete knowledge of all forms of awakening) 16) Swarupavasthitha (swarup + awasthith = established in his real true self) Shree Ram is not called Purna Avtar. Only Krishna Avtar is Purnavatara... Rama was 14 kala sampurna and krishna was 16 kala sampurna. Ram had first 14 kalas but the last two were missing :-. Paripurna & Swarupavasthitha. Here paripurna means complete knowledge of all forms of awakening and swarupavasthitha - swarup + awasthith = established in his real true self. Its actually an unfoldment of the Dashavatara in sequence of refinement and progress towards perfection. Shri Rama before incarnation hides the last two kalas. These are needed for declaring him a Poornavatara. Ram is best known as Maryada Rama or Maryada Purusha. This is because of a boon to Ravana. He was promised that no god would kill him. So Rama intentionally hid his 2 kalas and behaved like a common man (to fulfil the boon that Ravan would be killed by a man). The dasavataar’s are: 1.Matsya, the fish-avatar who saved Manu 2.Kurma, the tortoise-avatar, who helped in Samudra manthan 3.Varaha, the boar-avatar, who rescued the earth from the ocean, by killing her kidnapper-demon Hiranyaksha. 4.Narasimha, the half man-half lion avatar, who killed the tyrant demon-king Hiranyakashipu, to rescue the demon's son Prahlada, who was a Vishnu-devotee 5.Vamana, the dwarf-avatar 6.Parashurama, sage with the axe who killed the thousand-armed king Kartavirya Arjuna 7.Rama, the king of Ayodhya and the hero of the Hindu epic Ramayana 8.Krishna, the king of Dwarka, 9.Buddha, also known as Gautam Buddha, 10.Kalki who is expected to appear at the end of Kali Yuga.. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 #Copied
