Question: Avatar means to descend. That means all avatars exist in various Vaikuntha lokas. Do all avatars exist in the form in which they descend. For example does Lord Narasimhadev exist in the form in which we worship him, or He exists as a four armed Vishnu form. If Vishnu form then why is it that Lord Krishna and Rama are in the same form in which they descend?
Answer by Romapada Swami: Again you have assumed something incorrectly. We know that the goddess of fortune, had never before seen the form of Lord Narshimhadev. This means that He exists in the spiritual world in a four-armed form, identified with the four symbols of Vishnu held in a particular sequence. Likewise, when Ram returned to the spiritual region, His Vishnu form was that form by which others knew Him. When Krishna descends, we also know that He manifested His four armed form in the prison house of Kamsa, but then His original svayam bhagavan Krishna form was manifest in Gokul.
