Guest guest Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Dear Swamin, I guess you meant dasaavatharam i.e. only ten avatharams alone is not true. The dasaavatharam is those that were most liked and quoted by many scholars and hence are abhimana avathaarams. And as you said there are umpteen other avatharams that are taken by lord, in fact varaha avataram itself, as known from puranas have happened twice, one is the varaha avataram in dasa-avatara and the other one is shveta varaha avataram. This kalpam is identified by the Shveta(white) varaha avataram. On the way to Mahabalipuram from Chennai there are two varaha swamy temples - one is Thiruvidavendhai (Divyadesam) representing the regular varaha avataram and the other one is Thiruvalavendhai temple in which varaha is white in color. And Thiruvengadamudaiyan himself has taken so many avatarams (I think he is still around amidst us somewhere in human form:) that we see in the Tirumalai Ozhugu. Also there are tonnes of other avathaarams like Hayagriva, Hamsa, Vyasa, Kapila etc Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram would point us to atleast 100 avataras easily. adiyEn, dAsan. ramanuja, "bsundarrajansrivilliputtur" <bsundarrajansrivilliputtur wrote: > > > Shri: > Dear shriman Senthil Swaamin > > Pranaams. > > Dasaavatharam by almighty is not true. > > incarnation has been divided into 2 groups. > > 1.saaksaath incarnation > > 2. avesa avathaaram > a.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Dear bHAgawatas When he resides in all of us then where is the question of limiting to just 10 avatArAs. This play of him is continuing with out a start or end. Can he himself count? May be not possible. May be this dasavatara covers the wide spectrum of our emotional requirements. That could be the reason they are highlighted. But for sure when AtHmA and paramAtHmA are anadhi, then where is the question of just 10. When the athma is sareera to paramAthmA, where is the question of we are away from him. We are experiencing him in one form or the other. May be we have 10 fingers that is why 10 is given importance as we convey the surrender using two hands predominantly. May be mind needs orderlyness and based on its capacity to remember 10 is emphasised, may be these 10 can be strongly held to look in to other innumerable avatArAs. All are his play. He wants to constantly be in touch with us. When he is antharyami, why he would go away from us? he will exist in some form. For those who sees him within just like Arjun, he will be inside one's own self, for those who seek outside, he will appear as archavatara and other leelA avatArAs to give the required emotional support. For those who seek knowledge, for them he will appear as AcHAryan. For those who seek his exalted love like gopis who want to enjoy the emotions of union and separation in selfless service, he will be Lord. Krishna. No one can forget him. He is everywhere some time as problem, some time as solutions some time as friend, some time as enemy, some time as father, some time as mother, some time as brother, some times as sister, some time as son, some times as daughter. atHma hinges its existance in bundle of emotions. The emotional journey matures by experience. He is there to give those experiences. He is with us in that journey. Hence he is not going to have one or two avatArAs. All our AzhwArs and AcHAryAs saw him in many places in many emotional states. So he is not limited by the number 10 adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan Suresh --- Lakshmi Narasimhan <nrusimhann > wrote: > Dear Swamin, > > I guess you meant dasaavatharam i.e. only ten > avatharams alone is not > true.
