Dear Raghyji

OK., I withdraw the words 'incarnation' and 'prophet' from my initial post. But Arabs of those days did
little other than tending to camel and eating dates. Much less is spoken / written / elaborated about
the three female deities worshiped then. That is a different matter altogether.

It is the second part that I sought light to be thrown upon i.e., the relationship between milching mammals
and Avaataara Purushas such as even Kanchi Maha Periyava and Ramana Maha Rishi, in recent times.
Go Pooja, Ashwa Pooja, Gaja Pooja and Ushtra [camel] Pooja are still very much in practice - all mammals.
Vaanaras are revered as Hanuman and Bhairava Moorthy needs no introdution. The celestial cow Kamadhenu
also a mammal.

Snakes are worshiped more as a type of Prayaschitam / Pariharam for doshams and birds find reference
as Jatayu and Sarabeshwarar. The Koorma and Varaha Moorthies have shrines in Temples and Temple
premises primarily dedicated to other forms of Maha Vishnu.

Just to re-word it in a different way : If the Almighty appeared to humans in the human form, is it
not possible that same Almighty could have appeared as a marine form to water living beings ?
If this seems a definite possibility, what then would have that incarnation's equation with marine
mammals. I know only of one incarnation of the Almighty in the form of a water living being -
Matsya Avataram and my query was whether anyone could throw any more light on the subject.

Let's not get touchy about whether Jesus was a Messiah or Mohammed was a prophet - that
was never the intended topic of debate / discussion.

Equation between Avataara Purushas and Milching Mammals - the importance/relevance/significance.

I hope this clarifies what my doubt is about.
