Dashavatars of Vishnu

[gyaneshwar]

Namaste.
I am new to this site and am very happy that this site is very informative regarding Hinduism and Spirituality.
Can anyone reply to my question: What are the 10 incarnations of Lord Vishnu. Is Buddha incarnation of Lord Vishnu? If yes, is it Gautham Buddha?

[kichigai]

the ten incarnations are in general:
sri matsyadeva
sri kurmadeva
sri varahadeva
sri narasimhadeva
sri vamanadeva
sri parasurama
sri rama
sri krsna
buddha
sri kalkideva

but i also read that in this kali yuga buddha is not one of these dasavataras but a shaktyavesavatar and sri balarama takes his place in this list of avataras as the ninth avatar. in that case the answer would be
yes. and no.

[Ramakrishna]

the ten incarnations are in general:
sri matsyadeva
sri kurmadeva
sri varahadeva
sri narasimhadeva
sri vamanadeva
sri parasurama
sri rama
sri krsna
buddha
sri kalkideva

Some lists have Buddha as the ninth avatar, while some have Balarama, the elder brother of Lord Krishna as the ninth.

Jai Sri Ram
