thank you any other questions? question in the yugas when Krishna doesn’t come at that time which avatar comes? answer there are scheduled incarnations which are the yuga avatars for example manvantara avatars yuga avatars they come as scheduled so that they have a specific function so for example yuga avatars have to teach the yuga dharma now sometimes avatars now the categorization which Sanatana Goswami has done in laghu bhagwatam Goswamis have done basically that is technical classification and no system of classification translates accurately into reality because there is always taxonomy there are always borderline cases or overlapping cases now it is not that when he says a particular incarnation is yuga avatar and a particular incarnation is lila avatar that does not mean that yuga avatar does not do any lila nor does it mean that lila avatar does not teach any dharma no both are there but there is a particular focus for each avatar now if you look at Krishna the whole purpose of a yuga avatar teaching the yuga dharma is to help people in that yuga to become elevated by following that process so now Krishna comes at the end of dvapar yuga so if he is a yuga avatar for dvapar yuga then that purpose is not served by his coming at the end and more importantly Krishna if you see he does not do much about teaching the yuga dharma for dvapar yuga dvapare paricharyayam so paricharyayam is duty worship now if you see krishna just gives one chapter of instruction by krishna in uddhava gita on duty worship but that also is something which he gives at the end of his life just before he is to depart and there is very little direct reference to duty worship in bhagavad gita and even if you look at the mahabharata or the bhagavatam we don’t see krishna doing any elaborate duty worship he does some yajnas and here he is to perform yajnas so the point is that krishna is not the yuga avatar for dvapar yuga he is not the person who teaches the yuga dharma so in the bhagavatam the 11th canto and the 12th canto the various incarnations for various ages are mentioned and there is hamsa who comes for the satyuga and like that, now if you see in kalyuga kalki comes at the end of kalyuga now kalki does not teach the yuga dharma of harinam sankirtan so he is coming at the end and he has a different purpose so kalki is not the yuga avatar he comes in kalyuga he may be associated with a particular yuga also but that is not necessarily making him the yuga avatar so that means the liga avatar who comes like krishna it is not that there has to be someone who comes when he doesn’t come because he is not coming to teach the yuga dharma so liga, one of the characters of liga is sacchanda liga is independent so now in the case of chaitanya mahaprabhu, some of the acharyas have said that in kalyuga when chaitanya mahaprabhu doesn’t come, at that time there is another avatar who comes, he is gaur narayan so the idea is that in kalyuga the yuga dharma of harinam sankirtan has to be taught so in the case of lord chaitanya mahaprabhu we know krishna’s pratayana suna talks about the external and internal reasons so from the external point of view he is the yuga avatar teaching yuga dharma in the internal point of view he is relishing the love of radharani and sharing that love, sharing enter into and down so when chaitanya mahaprabhu is not coming in a particular age then the external reason or the principle of establishing yuga dharma still has to be carried on and that is done by the yuga avatar that is gaur narayan but in the case of krishna, when krishna doesn’t come at that time there is no, because krishna is not coming to teach yuga dharma, he is not going to perform a particular function necessary for that yuga, so when he doesn’t come it’s not necessary that some other incarnation has to come at that time the same supreme lord who chooses to manifest at a particular time in his original form and because he is not teaching yuga dharma so there is no need for any other incarnation to manifest specifically at that time now the lord is as an independent so he can manifest as an incarnation anytime, prabhupada said that krishna can come anytime but he comes as per a particular time by his own sweet will so as far as i have read i haven’t come across any specific references for anyone coming in place of krishna in every yuga at the end of the apar yuga as in krishna can come but from the point of view of the cosmic functioning no incarnation is required at that particular time thank you
