Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Çré Prahläda Mahäräja said in his prayer, “My Lord, You manifest as many incarnations as there are species of life, namely the aquatics, the vegetables, the reptiles, the birds, the beasts, the men, the demigods, etc., just for the maintenance of the faithful and the annihilation of the unfaithful. You advent Yourself in this way in accordance with the necessity of the different yugas. In the Kali-yuga You have incarnated garbed as a devotee.” This incarnation of the Lord in the Kali-yuga is Lord Caitanya Mahäprabhu. There are many other places, both in the Bhägavatam and in other scriptures, in which the incarnation of the Lord as Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu is explicitly mentioned. In the Brahma-saàhitä also it is said indirectly that although there are many incarnations of the Lord, such as Räma, Nåsiàha, Varäha, Matsya, Kürma and many others, the Lord Himself sometimes incarnates in person. Lord Kåñëa and Lord Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu are not, therefore, incarnations, but the original source of all other incarnations. This will be clearly explained in the next çloka.-----Srila Prabhupada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
