Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Excerpts from Bhavan’s journal dt.15 Jan 2006- Article ‘Life beyond incarnation’ by Parur S Ganesan. The author has quoted the two slokas ‘yada yada hi dharmasya’ and ‘Paritranaya sadhunam’ and he writes, ‘While the mission statement in the former sloka is gentle and passive the same in the latter was aggressive, even smacking violence. The purpose of the article seems to be that even an incarnation cannot escape the result of His karma. He further says ‘ the first three incarnations were in line with the first objective. Ithowever turned out to be terribly violent in Narasimha, crafty in Vamana, violent again in the two Ramas and Krishna.’ ‘ The Lord as Narasimha not only indulged in extreme violence of tearing off the chest and intestines of Hiranyakasipu but in a fit of anger, lost His senses and evenrank His blood and Swallowed his raw flesh before trembling Prahlada and others.’ About Vamana he writes,’ Vamana tricked Emperor Mahabali by exploiting the latter’s munificence.’ About Krishna, ‘ Krishna did indulge in few annihilations but there was no horror story except the killing of Kamsa . This is however overlooked as a juvenile act. In the Bhagavatgita, however, he advocated violence. About Rama, ‘Skippiong the optionof bargaining peace he opted for war and killed Ravana.’ He futher justifies the abduction of Sita as retaliation of the maiming of Surpanakha..’Except keeping Sita as captive Ravana never went beyond rajaneethi. Yet Ramaindulged in arson,mass destruction and killing of innocent citizens of Lanka.’ Even a superficial reader of Ramayana and Bhagavata can see the absurdities and distortions of facts in this article . Though every one of the statements made in the article can be refuted I think it is a sheer waste of time to indulge in denying what is obviously an untruth. However I have voiced my protest to the editor and have sent my article on the significance of Dasavatara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 It is not shocking to note such blatant allegations against the Lord Himself in these magazines.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 BIRTHLESS WITH MULTIPLE BIRTHS The heading may sound to be paradox. It may be construed as an element of null set. However, the statement is true in the context of none other than our EmperumAn. Sri NamAzhvAr categorically mentions 'yAnum piRapp-il pal-piRavip perumAnai maRapponRinRi enRum magizhvanEa" ThriuvAimozhi 2-9-4; "I will never forget the Lord who is birthless with multiple births" If one has birth he cannot be termed as birthless.On the contrary, if one is birthless, he cannot be termed as one with sevral births. The onbadhinAyirappaDi clearly sums up this point "karma vasyamAna piRAvi inRikkEA irukkach seidhEA - samsArigaLukku vuNDAna krupAdhisiyathAlEA asankyAvathArangaLaip paNNi aruLum.' Though not bound by kArmic effects, out of mercy towards the AtmAs stuck in the samsAram, takes incarnations. That is what upanishads corroborate 'ajAyamAnOA bahUthA vijAyathEA' EmperumAn descends to the earth to rescue the souls. He takes up this task upon Himself as He is not able to tolerate the insults poured on " Eswaran avatharithuch seiyyum Anaith thozhilgaL ellAm bhAgavathApachAram poRamAiyinAlEA ' This is the sRevachana bhUshanam sUthram No. 192; Though the Lord can decimate these vandals with His sankalpam-s He comes down personally to vanquish them. Summary: 1. The Lord is birthless - as he is not bound by kArmic effects. 2. EmperumAn out of immense mercy takes up birth. 3. He cannot tolerate the insults inflicted on His deovtees and takes upon Himself all taks to remove their sufferings.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Yes. a small reference to ThiruvaiMozhi will go to hihglight this aspect. Is it possible to graceful and blessing to one while being aggressive simultaneously, is the question addressed in EDu. When Sri Narasimhap perumAL was aggressive on hiranyan how come prhalAdhan can be the receipient of grace and affection?This was the question addressed to EmperumAnAr and the reply "simham Anai mEal sErinAlum, kuTTikku mulai vuNNalAm padi irukkumiREA' Though the line is furious on the elephant the lion cubs can drink milk from the lion, is it not? and the relevant lines from the pAsuram 'sERRathOdu aruL peRRavan -adikEzh puga ninRa -senkaN mAl' ThriuvAi mzohi 3-6-6; now where is the question of trembling dAsan vanamamalai padmanabhan - Balaji Narasimhan Oppiliappan Wednesday, March 15, 2006 10:39 AM Re: Protest to Article in Bhavan's journal ///The Lord as Narasimha not only indulged in extreme violence of tearing off the chest and intestines of Hiranyakasipu but in a fit of anger, lost His senses and evenrank His blood and Swallowed his raw flesh before trembling Prahlada and others/// What abacharam!
