	Ayya Vaikundar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ayya Vaikundar (Tamil: அய்யா வைகுண்டர்), according to Akilattirattu Ammanai, a scripture of the Ayyavazhi, was a Manu (father, sovereign) avatar (the incarnation of a deity) of Narayana.
		Ayya Vaikundar, who arose from the sea at Thiruchendur on 20th of the Tamil Month of Masi, is considered a unique Avatar by the followers of Ayyavazhi.
		According to Ayyavazhi legends Ayya Vaikundar was not merely a human, not merely Narayana, and not merely the Ultimate Soul, but he was a human and he was the Ultimate Soul and he was Narayana.

		Ayya Vaikundar அய்யா வைகுண்டர், is a Manu (father, sovereign) avatar (the incarnation of a deity) of the Lord Narayana according to Akilattirattu Ammanai the holy script of the Ayyavazhi religion, a Tamil Hindu sect.
		Ayya Vikundar, therefore, is a combination of the spirit of Narayana, the soul of the Supreme God,(God beyond conciouseness) and the body of an ordinary human being (Muthukutty).
		So Ayya Vaikundar is not merely a human, not merely Narayana, and not merely the Ultimate Soul, on the other hand he is a human and he is the Ultimate Soul and he is Narayana.

	Writings by Sangharakshita \| Ayya Khema: A Personal Tribute
		Ayya Khema and I came to know each other in the autumn of 1992, in the course of the European Buddhist Union's biennial congress, which was held that year in Berlin and in which we both participated as speakers.
		Ayya Khema, I noticed, on such occasions did not hesitate to partake of a biscuit or a piece of cake.
		Ayya Khema was in fact an Agatha Christie fan, a fact that showed there was a human side to her character, and that she was not quite such an austere figure as one might have thought.

		Ayya Khema, who was herself adept at the eight absorptions, confidently leads the reader to, through, and beyond the jhanas, following the Buddha's plan.
