Guest guest Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 In the twelfth incarnation, the Lord appeared as Dhanvantari, and in the thirteenth He allured the atheists by the charming beauty of a woman and gave nectar to the demigods to drink.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 Shiva gets hit by a cupids arrow, He is a demigod, but still not a God. He then falls into cupids trap and lustfully chases Mohini and 'marries' her. /images/graemlins/wink.gif She gives a son Ayyappa and then Vishnu looks at shiva and laughs, they both have a good laugh , They now know this was done for the good of mankind some how? Does any one have the story? would some one like to share here? /images/graemlins/confused.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theist Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 This is the copy and pasted summary to SB 8.9 The Lord Incarnates as Mohiné-Mürti. SB 8.9 Summary This chapter describes how the demons, being enchanted by the beauty of the Mohiné form, agreed to hand over the container of nectar to Mohinidevi, who tactfully delivered it to the demigods. When the demons got possession of the container of nectar, an extraordinarily beautiful young woman appeared before them. All the demons became captivated by the young woman’s beauty and became attached to Her. Now, because the demons were fighting among themselves to possess the nectar, they selected this beautiful woman as a mediator to settle their quarrel. Taking advantage of their weakness in this regard, Mohini, the incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, got the demons to promise that whatever decision She might give, they would not refuse to accept it. When the demons made this promise, the beautiful woman, Mohini-mürti, had the demigods and demons sit in different lines so that She could distribute the nectar. She knew that the demons were quite unfit to drink the nectar. Therefore, by cheating them She distributed all the nectar to the demigods. When the demons saw this cheating of Mohini-mürti, they remained silent. But one demon, named Rähu, dressed himself like a demigod and sat down in the line of the demigods. He sat beside the sun and the moon. When the Supreme Personality of Godhead understood how Rähu was cheating, He immediately cut off the demon’s head. Rähu, however, had already tasted the nectar, and therefore although his head was severed, he remained alive. After the demigods finished drinking the nectar, the Supreme Personality of Godhead assumed His own form. Sukadeva Gosvämé ends this chapter by describing how powerful is the chanting of the holy names, pastimes and paraphernalia of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Also see SB 8.12 for Mohini Murtis' pastime with Lord Shiva. Go to this site to read many of Prabhupada's books on-line.
