Did Lord Ayyappa preach any divine knowledge like Shri Krishna?

[An online spiritual discussion was conducted on May 15, 2021, in which several devotees participated. Devotees’ questions answered by Swāmi are given below.]

[Śrī Anil Antony asked: Pādanamaskāraṃ Swāmiji! Was Lord Ayyappa also a Human Incarnation of God? What divine mission did He accomplish? Did He preach any divine knowledge like Śrī Kṛṣṇa?]

Swāmi replied: Every human incarnation of God is always associated with the propagation of divine Spiritual knowledge, which is the main programme of God. All other things like exhibition of miracles etc., are only secondary. The true Spiritual knowledge alone can give the right direction to the human souls in the path of Pravṛtti (worldly life) and Nivṛtti (Spiritual life). The correct path is very important because even a slowly walking person can reach the right goal in the right path.
