(Āveśa Avatāra) (Sk. for “descent by possession). In the Hindu religion an ''Avatara'' is a divine incarnation or the descent of God in a tangible form; thus the Sanskrit term ''Avesa Avatara'' might be interpreted as a special purpose Avatara where, according to the teaching, a pure person is used for a period by an influx of the Divine Life.
