Age after age, when righteousness declines and the light of truth grows dim, God descends among men as the Avatar, the Eternal One taking human form. He comes to restore the balance of creation and guide his lovers.

The Avatar is the One who is at once Creator, Preserver, and Destroyer, God expressed in human form. Through Him, the divine law of dharma is renewed, and the world is lifted toward remembrance and love for God..

The five Perfect Masters unite their authority and bring down the Avatar to serve as the divine focus for all creation.

He often takes birth in the sacred land of India, the ancient home of His lovers, where hearts filled with longing await His coming.

"Age after age, when humanity suffers in the clutches of ignorance and cries out for help, I come as the Avatar. Taking human form, I awaken mankind to the realization of its true Self, and lead those who are ready to the Truth."
— Meher Baba

He has revealed Himself as Zoroaster, Rama, Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, and Meher Baba, and at times in lesser incarnations, not fully manifest.

As pearls upon a single thread of eternity, the descents of the Avatar shine through the ages, each one reflecting a different radiance of the same infinite Truth.
