Hey! I am figuring this thing out, my new Avatar thats me
In English, the word has come to mean "an embodiment, a bodily manifestation of the Divine." However, the Sanskrit word Avatara means "the descent of God" or simply "incarnation." The term is used primarily in Hindu texts. For example, Krishna is the eighth avatar (incarnation) of Vishnu the Preserver, whom many Hindus worship as God. The Dasavatara are ten particular "great" incarnations of Vishnu.

There was a little cartoon a while back called 'Avatar: The Legend of the last Air Bender'.. I LOVED IT! Anyway I had always wondered what avatar meant if it was used in the title of this little japanese cartoon.. the whole embodiment of the devine really makes sense when it comes to this cartoon because this little kid 'The Avatar' was meant to save the world from the evil Fire nation.. well that's how I make sense of it..
