" sarvesha kAleshu mAmanusmara " Sri Krishna said in Bhaghavat Gita.

 

Jagannatha dAsaru in his magnus opus Harikathamruthasaara has written

 

makkaLAdisuvAga madadhiyoLaLakkaradhi nalivAga

hayapallkkigaja modhalAdha vAhanavEri merevAga

bikkuvAgAkaLisuthali dEvakithanayana smarisuthiha

narasikkanu yadhutharige AvAvalli nOdidharu HKS 13-1

 

While playing with children, while speaking affectionately with wife, while

driving the horse, Vimana with decoration, elephant etc... & coming round the

town as a procession, while hiccuping, while yawning, in all such times,

Lord Sri Krishna who took avatara as the son of Devaki should be remembered.

Such devoted persons would be never snatched by the messengers of Yama

Dharmaraja.

While sleeping, while raising up, while sitting & talking, while doing the

routine work in the house, while taking bath, while taking food, in all such

times, Paramathma who is without any defect & is pervading in all places,

has to be known. Paramathma is risiding in all such places with those

necessary rupas & names should be known. Like that, Paramathma's smarana

should be there of God, then, Paramatma would not leave such devotee even

for a fraction of second & would be protecting him constantly.

Hearing the glories of Lord Vishnu, chanting His names with the right

attitude, thinking of His nature & His supremacy, serving His devotees,

worshipping the Lord, prostrating at the Lord's feet, realizing His

supremacy & serving Him, treating Him as your friend, & totally surrendering

to Him & realising the fact that the Lord is the inner strength of all

beings in both the worlds--here as well as after salvation 'iha & para' are

the different aspects of Bhakthi. Listening to His stories creates

awareness, which becomes the part & parcel of the epitome of Bhakthi.

According to Prahalada, developing these nine types of devotion to the Lord

Vishnu is the best lesson learnt by him. The innate devotion though latent

in ones heart has to be kindled by listening to the glories of the Lord

incessantly.

 

This nine types of devotion are

Shravana, Kirtana, Smarana, Padasevena,

Archana, Vandana, Dasya, Sakhyam, Atmanivedanam

VISHNU AVATARAS

 

AMSHA means fraction; AMSHI is the whole containing fraction.

The Lord takes two types of forms. He Himself manifest by directly

descending known as SAAKSHAAD roopas & in some case only His presence is

experienced at times, which is otherwise known as AVESHA roopa. The direct

forms of the Lord are in no way inferior to His original form known as the

MOOLA roopa.

 

 

Srimad Bhaghavatha describes more than 50 forms of the Lord & to mention

some of them as follows: During Svayumbhuva Manvantara, Sri Hari took the

form of Sanat Kumara, Yagna Varaha killed Hiranyaksha who came out from

Brahma's left nostrils, Aitareya MahidAsa, Nara-Narayana (Avesha-Moola

roopa), Kapila Vasudeva, Dattatreya, Yagna, Rishabha. During Vaivasvatha

manvantara, Sri Hari took avataras as Matsya, Kurma, Dhanvantri,

Mohini, Varaha kills Hiranyaksha (Diti's son), Narasimha, vAmana,

Trivikrama, Parashurama, Vyasa

took avatara 5 times during 3rd, 5th, 16th, 25th Mahayugas & became Veda

Vyasa during 28th Mahayuga, Rama, Krishna, Buddha (Daithya vimohaka, a

creator of illusion for the evil forces), Kalki, Ajitha ( during

Chaakshusha manvantara), tApasa (tApasa

manvantara).

 

Avesha roopa of the Lord are Balarama, Nara, Prithu.

 

(Source from Bhaghavatha Pravesha by Sri Sagre Raghavendra Upadhyaya, the

book translated into English by Anuradha Sridhar.)

 

Purusha Roopa for the creation of " Mahat Tatva " ; Vishnu Roopa taken to

bless

the penance of Chathurmukha Brahma & to protect his creations; Hayagriva

Roopa taken during the performance of a sacrifice by Chathurmukha to impart

the knowledge of the Vedas; Sanatkumara Roopa for preaching Brahmacharya to

Brahma, Aitareya Mahidasa roopa to preach 'sathvatha tantra' to Narada;

Dattatreya roopa was taken to fulfil the prayers of the great Sage Atri &

his wife Anasuya & also preached the metaphysical truth to Alarka &

Prahalada. Kaarthaveeryarjuna was taught the secrets of 'Animadhisiddhi'.

Yagna Roopa was born to Akuti & Ruchiprajapathi; who was on the throne of

Indra during Svayambhu Manvantara. Svayambhu Manu in IshavAsyopanishads

also praised Him. Tapasa Roopa protected the elephant Gajendra from the

clutches of the crocodile. Vasudeva Roopa blessed Dhruva on the completion

of his penance with the kingdom for thirty three thousand years & gave him

the position of Dhruva star (pole star) & also gave him salvation.

Simshumara Roopa being in the form of a scorpion; controlling various

prajapathies & is the basis of all astrological calculations. The Sanakas

asked Chathurmukha Brahma various questions on Yoga Shaastra. Chathurmukha

prayed to Narayana who took Hamsa Roopa & cleared their doubts.

 

Srimad Bhaghavatha tells us about the Lord's various Upendra roopas in

different Manvantaras. In Swarochisha Manvanthara as Vibu; in Uttama

Manvantara as Satyasena; in Raivatha Manvantara as Vaikunta, in Savarni

Manvantara as Sarvabhauma; for Dhaksharsravarni Manvantara as Rishabha; In

Brahmasavarni Manvatara as Vishvaksena, in Dharmasravani Manvantara as

Dharmasethu, in Rudrasavarni Manvantara as Svadhama; in Devasavarni

Manvantara as Yogeshwara & Brahatbhanu in Indrasavarni Manvantara.
