doubt regarding one upasthana mantra slokam

[Guest guest]

Certain upanishads are said to be much older than the avatarams i.e

after the matsya avatar which is considered first avatar. What is

refferred to as a recital of prahalada is that Krishna, Vasudeva,

Govinda and so on is one of the names of Lord Narayana. All the names

of the protector are available from the creation. The names gained

popularity as and when the avatars took place. Further We see the

name of Goivinda. This became popular only after Thiruvengadamudayans

darshan to devotees.

 

Let us take the celebration of Deepavali. Jokes go around in southern

part of India especially Tamil Nadu that how could Lord Rama

celeberate Deepavali if it is celeberated after Naragasura Vatham

which is said to have happened in Lord Krishnas period. Actually the

fact is that Deepavali was the worship of Godess Lakshmi and after

the destruction of Naragasura the festival gained more and additional

importance.

 

The evidences are found in Ramayana about Deepavali ( Reffered to as

Diwali meaning festival of lights )

 

This is my interpretation and probably scholars like sadagopa swamy

can enlighten us more with facts and quotes.
