Guest guest Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Namaste Is there a geographical location associated with Narasimha-avatar just as Ayodhya, Panchavati and Ramesvaram are associated with Rama-avatar and Mathura, Brindavan and Dvaraka are associated with Krishna-avatar?

It would seem to be the place where Narasimha avatara performed the 'liilA'. Interesting sites to visit: http://narasimha.avatara.org/ http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/br/2003/01/14/stories/2003011400100300. htm http://www.kanchi-sathya.org/announcements.htm http://www.eaisai.com/baba/docs/onam.html " Kerala continues to be the land famous for devotion and surrender. It is the birthplace of Prahlada, the great devotee of the Lord. " Regards, Sunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many associate it with Kerala but that land has been under and over the sea many times. Considering that in the time of Rama, which also could be anything from 20,000 years ago to 150,000 years ago, Lanka was a big Island Continent in the Indian Ocean, any guess would be hazardous. The configurations of the continents above water was different in those days, even the Himalayan Mountains are a recent event resulting from India pushing into Asia. To hazard a guess I would say that South India is probably likely, but it was part of a larger land mass then..The fact that He was a genetic mixture indicates a time long in the past, when these beings were more common. The technology exists again today, and Hirayakasipu was reputed to have discovered matter to the centre of the atom, and could manipulate it beyond what we can imagine as facts today..........ONS...Tony.
