'Avatara Dina' - Greatness of Tirupati Part-4 By Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji

[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To all,

 

Matsya Avatar (as Fish) is the most significant of all His ten prominent

Avatars. A Pandya king found Him on the banks of River Vaigai. The Puranas tell

us that the Lord grew into a colossal form and protected the Vedas. Thus the

very first Avatar of the Lord took place on the banks of River Vaigai, in Pandya

kingdom, in the southern parts of the country. Puranas like the Bhavishya purana

subtly predict that the last Avatar of the Lord, Kalki Avatar, would take place

in the home of a Brahmin couple on the banks of River Tamraparani in Tirunelveli

in the South. We know not the exact time of occurrence – five thousand or ten

thousand years later. Though even now we all speak of Kali (yuga) as the worst

Yuga we are still only in its infant stage! One knows not the wickedness of a

full grown Kali. 'God would, at that time, in full fury incarnate and destroy

the world,' so say the Shastras. Thus, the south enjoys the glory of the Lord's

first incarnation on

the banks of River Vaigai and is also going to enjoy the glory of the Lord’s

last incarnation as Kalki on the banks of River Tamraparani.

 

Where did the Avatar of the Lord as Rama take place? It was in Ayodhya. Krishna

Avatar took place in Mathura. Both these places are in the Northern part of the

country. Why did the Lord not choose the South while taking these Avatars? God

did nurture this desire, but, around 80 or more of the 108 Divya Desams are

situated only in what is today known as the state of Tamizh Nadu, in the south.

A few are in Kerala, Badari, Ayodhya, etc. To strike a cosmic balance the Lord

took Rama-Krisna Avatars in the North. If all His Avatars were in the south the

earth would have lost her balance. Since the south was blessed with majority of

His 'Archavatars', God decided to have His 'Vichada-avatars' as Rama and Krishna

in the North.

 

What is the greatness of this country? Verily the 'Archavatars'! - the Lord

remaining in the form of icons. Well! What was the first 'Archavatar' of God?

Verily Tirupati Lord Srinivasa! This is verily God's first 'Archavatar' on

earth. The Vedas speak of only two Temples and their Deities – one is Puri

Jagannath and the other is Tirupati Srinivasa.
