I am the tenth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, claims Gujarat official

Adding to the queue of self-proclaimed Gods in India, a government official from Gujarat has refused to attend office as he believes that he is the tenth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, Kalki. Citing the reason for his absence from office, he says that he has to "change the global conscience" by undertaking "penance" at home.

The self proclaimed tenth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, Rameshchandra Fefar is a superintending engineer with the Sardar Sarovar Punarvasvat Agency (SSPA). His office has issued a show-cause notice over his long absence, in reply of which he said, "I am doing penance at home by entering into the fifth dimension to change the global conscience… I can't do such penance sitting in office". He also claims that it is only for him that the country is being blessed with good rainfall.

Creating sensation in social media, "Even if you don't believe, I am indeed the tenth incarnation of Lord Vishnu and I will prove it in coming days," he said.

According to reports, he had been served with notice after he attended office only for 16 days during the past eight months. Anticipating that the authorities would not be convinced with his reply, he also stated that he will prove that he is Kalki in the coming days.

He revealed it was in 2010 that he realised he was Kalki and since then he has been bestowed with divine powers.

Acknowledging the objections raised against the 50-year-old official, he said that it is upon SSPA to decide, "Whether it's more important for the agency to make me sit in the office and do time pass or do some concrete work to save the country from drought."
