According to the Ayyavazhi sect the Ayyavazhi Trinity is the incarnation of God in the current stage of world development (Kali Yukam). Ayya Vaikundar, the founder of the sect, is considered by his followers as the combination of the Ultimate God, Narayana and Human Being. According to the legends found in Akilam immediately after the Incarnation of Vaikundar, he was viewed simultaneously as the Ultimate God, Narayana and as son of Narayana. As per the earlier deed Narayana had to destroy Kaliyan, but due to the boons that kaliyan claimed Narayana could not destroy him. And as per the promise made by Kaliyan, he would only be destroyed, if he give torture to any Pantaram. To overcome all these, such a unique way of Incarnation was planed. ^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]}

• The Spirit - The Spirit (Karana Sarira) of Narayana
• The Body - The Body of Muthukutty (Human Being)

The Soul

According to Ayyavazhi, as the Soul of Vaikundar is of the Paramatma or the Ultimate God, it was viewed that the Ultimate God or Ekam, the God beyond Conciouseness incarnates here in the world. The Thiru Nadana Ula, a part of Akilam, states, "An assemblage was rended by getting a great Assemblage which arose with its own intention and by the rended assemblage there formed a great world of righteousness and by which the kali destroys as it’s age is over."^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]} Here the 'Great assemblage' (assembled of the whole which exists in a globular shape) represents the Ekam or the Ultimate God which is beyond Conciouseness, the 'rended assemblage' represents Vaikundar, and the ‘world of rightiouseness’ represents Dharma Yukam. This verse says that Vaikundar was the one by which Dharma Yukam created, and Vaikundar was rended by getting the power of Ekam without which kali would not be destroyed.^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]}

The legends further state that, immedietly after the avatar of Vaikundar, Narayana called Vaikundar "Your self is Sivan, your self is Vethan, your self is Thirumal and your self is the austerity, your self is Brahman and your self is the whole which exists."^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]} Vaikundar was also called as Muthalvan, which in Tamil means the one who formed first.^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]} Also as per the boons that Kaliyan claimed Narayana or any other else could destroy Kaliyan. This is also the reason which paves the way for the soul of the Ultimate Being to come as Vaikundar. During the Katuvai Sothanai, Vaikundar said that, "Iam the one who created the Ekam and Iam in every thing which exists. Since the trimurti was concealed into my self, myself is the soul of all living beings”.^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]}

The Spirit

-->

According to Ayyavazhi legends, the spirit of Narayana’s was in which the Ultimate soul installed. So on the other hand Vaikundar was viewed as Narayana, the Murthi Stage (i.e. the God with supreme conciouseness).^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]} A verse in Akilam states that "The day on which Narayanar came as Vaikundar."^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]} Also as soon as the Santror born, the Seven Virgins felt that they had lost their purity.^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]} They tried to assemble the Ganga (water) in the shape of a ball, but they could not. They started performing austerity that Narayana who was the one who deceived them should marry them, and rule the world along with them. This was accepted by Thirumal. And for this reason Vaikundar married the Seven Virgins during his Avatar.^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]} Also, when Kroni was fragmented into six, Sivan told with Narayana, " All the six fragments will take birth as Asuras in each Yukams and you have the responsibility to destroy him by taking birth in world." This is greatly described in Akilam One. Then, Akilam says that in the Dharma Yukam Vaikundar rule the world along with the Seven Virgins and Santror Makkal. Accordingly, it was stated that Vaikundar is Narayana himself who incarnated.^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]}

The Body

According to legends found in Akilam the Spirit of Narayana and the Soul of Ekam collectively installed into the body of a human born to Ponnu Nadar and Veilal. And for an Incarnation, the body is of equal importance as the Soul and Spirit. Akilam narrates it as "Satam Pirakka Lokam Thattu miga Maari".^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]} At the very moment the body took birth, the situation of the whole world changed. By considering the Soul, Vaikundar was called as Ekam, by considering the Spirit he was called Narayana. As so, by considering the body he was called as Son by Narayana. Because the body take birth in the lineage of Santror who were the children of Narayana. ^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]}
