What is Ayya Vaikundar?
'''Ayya Vaikundar''' ({{Lang-ta|அய்யா வைகுண்டர்}}) is a [[Manu]] (father, sovereign) [[avatar]] (the incarnation of a deity) of the Lord [[Narayana]] according to [[Akilattirattu Ammanai]] the holy book of the Ayyavazhi religion, officially a Tamil Hindu branch. The physical human body of Ayya Vaikundar was born with the name '''Muthukutty'''. However, Muthukutty is referred to as [[Sampooranathevan]], a deva (a deity), in the religious book Akilam. Ayya Vikundar is a combination of the spirit of '''Narayana''', the soul of the Supreme God, '''Ekam''' (God beyond conciouseness) and the body of an ordinary human being (Muthukutty). The [[Ekam]] as soul incarnated with the spirit of [[Narayana]] in the body of [[Muthukutty]].
