Guest guest Posted September 21, 1999 Report Share Posted September 21, 1999 TOMORROW IS VAMAMA DVADASHI, WE FAST TILL NOON ON EKADASHI FOR VAMANA DVADASHI BECAUSE WE HAVE TO BREAK FAST FOR EKADASHI ON DVADASHI SO WE CAN'T FAST TILL NOON ON DVAVDASHI. SB 1.3.19 "In the fifteenth incarnation, the Lord assumed the form of a dwarf-brahmana (Vamana) and visited the arena of sacrifice arranged by Maharaja Bali. Although at heart He was willing to regain the kingdom of the three planetary systems, He simply asked for a donation of three steps of land."* Text 74 Lord Vamana appeared three times in this kalpa. During the reign of the first (Svayambhuva) Manu, He visited the sacrifice performed by Vaskala, the king of the danavas. Then, in the reign of Vaivasvata Manu, and visited the sacrifice performed by Dhundhu. Then, in the seventh catur-yuga of that manvantara, He appeared as the son of Kasyapa and Aditi. In this way, to accept a donation, He appeared three times as Lord Trivikrama. [Comment: That means that Lord Vamanadeva's pastime with Bali Maharaja was 21 catur-yugas back i.e. 21 x 4,320,000 = 90,720,000, 90.7 millions years back] Lord Vamandeva's Appearance Day Ki Jay!
