[Ms. Thrylokya asked: Pādanamaskāraṃ Swāmi. Although all human incarnations (including Ramaṇa Maharṣi, Rāmakṛṣṇna Paramahaṃsa, Amma, etc.) are Dattāvatāras, why only certain avatāras such as Shirdi Sai Bāba, Akkalkot Maharāj, Satya Sai Bāba, etc. are called Datta avatāras?]
Swāmi replied:- The direct incarnations of God Datta are called Dattāvatāras. The indirect incarnations are also actually Dattāvatāras only. When Datta enters the medium directly as in the case of Sai Bāba etc., such incarnations are called Dattāvatāras meaning that they are the direct results of Datta and the medium. In the case of other incarnations like Kṛṣṇa, Śaṇkara etc., God Viṣṇu, God Śiva etc., entered the media and God Viṣṇu and God Śiva contain already God Datta in them. An item covered by one envelope is direct Dattāvatāra. The same item covered by two envelopes is indirect Dattāvatāra. There is not any trace of difference between these two cases.
