The differentiation of "tranaam" and "paritranaam" in this blog is sheer genius. The avtaar does not just protect us from an impending evil, He protects us completely. Which means, He also makes us aware of the relevance of evil in the scheme of things. That is to say, He leaves us capable of handling evil ourselves in future. If it was just tranaam, we would be dead without the avtaar. But because the avtaar performed the magic of paritranaam, we have now become empowered to handle evil by merely reliving the personality of the avtaar from our memories. This is why an avtaar needs to come only "yuge yuge", from age to age. In between, his memories are sufficient. Therefore it is our duty to pass on the memories (culture) of the avtaar to our succeeding generations. Seen in this light, the activities of Hindutva is sacred activity.
