How to Survive

Libraries are as the shrines where all the relics of the ancient saints, full of true virtue, and that without delusion or imposture, are preserved and reposed. — BACON, _Advancement of Learning_.We visit at the shrine, drink in some measure of the inspiration, and cannot easily breathe in other air less pure, accustomed to immortal fruits. — HAZLITT’S _Plain Speaker_.

Bacon & Hazlitt

What a place to be in is an old library! It seems as though all the souls of all the writers that have bequeathed their labours to the Bodleian were reposing here as in some dormitory or middle state. I seem to inhale learning, walking amid their foliage; and the odour of their old moth-scented coverings is fragrant as the first bloom of the sciential apples which grew around the happy orchard. — CHARLES LAMB, _Oxford in the Long Vacation_.

Charles Lamb

My neighbours think me often alone, and yet at such times I am in company with more than five hundred mutes, each of whom communicates his ideas to me by dumb signs quite as intelligibly as any person living can do by uttering of words; and with a motion of my hand I can bring them as near to me as I please; I handle them as I like; they never complain of ill-usage; and when dismissed from my presence, though ever so abruptly, take no offence. — STERNE, _Letters_.

Lawrence Sterne

In a library we are surrounded by many hundreds of dear friends imprisoned by an enchanter in paper and leathern boxes, — EMERSON, _Books, Society, and Solitude_.Nothing is pleasanter than exploring in a library. — LANDOR,_Pericles and Aspasia_.

Emerson & Landor

I never come into a library (saith Heinsius) but I bolt the door to me, excluding lust, ambition, avarice, and all such vices whose nurse is idleness, the mother of ignorance and melancholy herself; and in the very lap of eternity, among so many divine souls, I take my seat with so lofty a spirit and sweet content that I pity all our great ones and rich men that know not their happiness. — BURTON, _Anatomy of Melancholy_.

Robert Burton

I do not know that I am happiest when alone; but this I am sure of, that I am never long even in the society of her I love without a yearning for the company of my lamp and my utterly confused and tumbled-over library. — BYRON, _Moore’s Life_.Montesquieu used to say that he had never known a pain or a distress which he could not soothe by half an hour of a good book. — JOHN MORLEY, _On Popular Culture_.There is no truer word than that of Solomon: ‘There is no end of making books’; the sight of a great library verifies it; there is no end — indeed, it were pity there should be. — BISHOP HALL.

Byron, Morley & Bishop Hall

You that are genuine Athenians, devour with a golden Epicurism the arts and sciences, the spirits and extractions of authors. — CULVERWELL, _Light of Nature_.He hath never fed of the dainties that are bred in a book; he hath not eat paper, as it were; he hath not drunk ink; his intellect is not replenished; he is only an animal, only sensible in the duller parts. — SHAKESPEARE, _Love’s Labour’s Lost_.I have wondered at the patience of the antediluvians; their libraries were insufficiently furnished; how then could seven years of life be supportable? — COWPER, _Life and Letters by Southey_.

Culverwel, Shakespeare & Cowper

Unconfused Babel of all tongues! which e’er The mighty linguist Fame or Time the mighty traveller,That could speak or this could hear!Majestic monument and pyramid!Where still the shapes of parted souls abideEmbalmed in verse; exalted souls which nowEnjoy those arts they wooed so well below,Which now all wonders plainly seeThat have been, are, or are to beIn the mysterious Library,The beatific Bodley of the Deity!COWLEY, _Ode on the Bodleian_. Higgons, Thomas, Sir,

Sir Thomas Higgon

This to a structure led well known to fame,And called, ‘The Monument of Vanished Minds,’Where when they thought they saw in well-sought booksThe assembled souls of all that men thought wise,It bred such awful reverence in their looks,As if they saw the buried writers rise.Such heaps of written thought; gold of the dead,Which Time does still disperse but not devour,Made them presume all was from deluge freedWhich long-lived authors writ ere Noah’s shower.DAVENANT, _Gondibert_.

William Davenant

Books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a progeny of life in them, to be as active as that soul whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them. — MILTON, _Areopagitica_.

John Milton

Nor is there any paternal fondness which seems to savour less of absolute instinct, and which may be so well reconciled to worldly wisdom, as this of authors for their books. These children may most truly be called the riches of their father, and many of them have with true filial piety fed their parent in his old age; so that not only the affection but the interest of the author may be highly injured by those slanderers whose poisonous breath brings his book to an untimely end. — FIELDING, _Tom Jones_.

Henry Fielding

We whom the world is pleased to honour with the title of modern authors should never have been able to compass our great design of everlasting remembrance and never-dying fame if our endeavours had not been so highly serviceable to the general good of mankind. — SWIFT, _Tale of a Tub_.A good library always makes me melancholy, where the best author is as much squeezed and as obscure as a porter at a coronation. — SWIFT.

Jonathan Swift

In my youth I never entered a great library but my predominant feeling was one of disturbance of mind — not much unlike that which drew tears from Xerxes on viewing his army, and reflecting that not one soul would remain alive. To me, with respect to books, the same effect would be brought about by my own death. Here, said I, are one hundred thousand books, the worst of them capable of giving me some instruction and pleasure; and before I can have had time to extract the honey from one-twentieth of this hive in all likelihood I shall be summoned away. — DE QUINCEY, _Letter to a young man_.

Thomas De Quincey

A man may be judged by his library. — BENTHAM. I ever look upon a library with the reverence of a temple. — EVELYN, _to Wotton_.‘Father, I should like to learn to make gold.’ ‘And what would’st thou do if thou could’st make it?’ ‘Why, I would build a great house and fill it with books.’ — SOUTHEY,_Doctor_.What would you have more? A wife? That is none of the indispensable requisites of life. Books? That is one of them, and I have more than I can use. — DAVID HUME, _Burton’s ‘Life_.’

Evelyn, Southey and Hume

Talk of the happiness of getting a great prize in the lottery! What is that to opening a box of books? The joy upon lifting up the cover must be something like that which we shall feel when Peter the porter opens the door upstairs, and says, ‘Please to walk in, Sir.’ — SOUTHEY, _Life_.I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books than a king who did not love reading. — MACAULAY.Our books … do not our hearts hug them, and quiet themselves in them even more than in God? — BAXTER’S _Saint’s Rest_.

Southey, Macauly and Baxter

It is our duty to live among books. — NEWMAN, _Tracts for the Times, №2_.What lovely things books are! — BUCKLE, _Life by Huth_.(Query) Whether the collected wisdom of all ages and nations be not found in books? — BERKELEY, _Querist_.Read we must, be writers ever so indifferent. — SHAFTESBURY, _Characteristics_.It’s mighty hard to write nowadays without getting something or other worth listening to into your essay or your volume. The foolishest book is a kind of leaky boat on a sea of wisdom; some of the wisdom will get in anyhow. — O. W. HOLMES, _Poet at the Breakfast Table_.

Newman, Buckle, Berkeley, Shaftesbury and Holmes

I adopted the tolerating measure of the elder Pliny — ‘nullum esse librum tam malum ut non in aliqua parte prodesset.’ — GIBBON, _Autobiography_.A book’s a book, although there’s nothing in’t. — BYRON, _English Bards and Scotch Reviewers_. While you converse with lords and dukes,I have their betters here, my books;Fixed in an elbow chair at easeI choose companions as I please.I’d rather have one single shelfThan all my friends, except yourself.For, after all that can be said,Our best companions are the dead.SHERIDAN _to Swift_.

Gibbon, Byron and Sheridan

We often hear of people who will descend to any servility, submit to any insult for the sake of getting themselves or their children into what is euphemistically called good society. Did it ever occur to them that there is a select society of all the centuries to which they and theirs can beadmitted for the asking? — LOWELL, _Speech at Chelsea_.

Gretchen Lowell

On all sides are we not driven to the conclusion that of all things which men can do or make here below, by far the most momentous, wonderful, and worthy are the things we call books? For, indeed, is it not verily the highest act of man’s faculty that produces a book? It is the thought of man. The true thaumaturgic virtue by which man marks all things whatever. All that he does and brings to pass is the vesture of a book. — CARLYLE, _Hero Worship_.

Thomas Carlyle

Yet it is justThat here in memory of all books which layTheir sure foundations in the heart of man, …That I should here assert their rights, assertTheir honours, and should, once for all, pronounceTheir benediction, speak of them as powersFor ever to be hallowed; only lessFor what we are and what we may becomeThan Nature’s self, which is the breath of God,Or His pure word by miracle revealed.WORDSWORTH, _Prelude_.

William Wordsworth

Take me to some lofty room,Lighted from the western sky,Where no glare dispels the gloom,Till the golden eve is nigh;Where the works of searching thought,Chosen books, may still impartWhat the wise of old have taught,What has tried the meek of heart;Books in long dead tongues that stirredLoving hearts in other climes;Telling to my eyes, unheard,Glorious deeds of olden times:Books that purify the thought,Spirits of the learned dead,Teachers of the little taught,Comforters when friends are fled.BARNES, _Poems of Rural Life_.

William Barnes

A library is like a butcher’s shop; it contains plenty of meat, but it is all raw; no person living can find a meal in it till some good cook comes along and says, ‘Sir, I see by your looks that you are hungry; I know your taste; be patient for a moment and you shall be satisfied that you have an excellent appetite!’ — G. ELLIS, Lockhart’s ‘_Scott_.’A library is itself a cheap university. — H. SIDGWICK,_Political Economy_.O such a life as he resolved to live Once he had mastered all that books can give!BROWNING.

How to survive in a Library ...

Being the Grandson of Prahlad, he went on to become the biggest devotee of Lord Vishnu. He had a huge affinity towards power of expansion which led him to rule the entire Prithvi Lok (Earth). People of Swarg Lok and Patal Lok began to fear over the Demon King's reign. Lord Indra in fear requested Lord Vishnu to look into it.

King Bali 

As King Bali was follower of him, Lord Vishnu went in a simple peace way, he took the form of a tiny, cute and flourished little Brahman Dwarf named Vamana. The aesthetic appearance made the people delusioned within the bond. Then Dwarf met the King Bali, as being a Brahman the King ask to fulfill any of his wish.

Birth Of The Brahman Dwarf

Vamana stated that he needed a only 3 steps of land of his foot. The King urged to ask more. Vamana answered, " I have asked what was necessary and pleasurable to me. Wanting for more would never eliminate my thirst."

Wish

If am not satisfied with the 3 steps of land, I will not be satisfied even with the whole universe. If I acquire 1, with legitimate power I will have to place two shunya (zeros) and make it 100 to fulfill my pleasure. But, those two shunya's represent greed and selfishness.

Theory Of Vamana

Scratching the words over the brain, Shukracharya ( Master of Asuras) realized that the dwarf is actually Lord Vishnu. As soon as the master realized it, he began to hoax the King to not fulfill any of his wish, but he had made his promise with Vamana.

Reveleation 

Vamana then began to grow as stupendous as to cover all of the livings elements of Pruthvi Lok (Earth) just under his feet. On his first step he covered the Prithvi Lok, on second he towered his foot upto Swarg Lok covering it. Else for the third step nothing was left.The King feeling defeated placed Vamana foot on his head as a mark of defeat and understood Lord Vishnu's purpose for his reincarnation.

Stalemate Move

Vamana Avatar - Fifth Avatar Of Vishnu | Dashavatar Despite being an Asura, King Bali was a pious man and was a devotee of Vishnu like his grandfather Prahalad. One day the Brahmana Vamana reached the court of King Bali requesting for charity or alms. It was a custom in the court of Bali that no Brahman would leave his place empty handed. So the King was more than willing to offer the Brahmana anything he desired. Upon questioning his needs, Vamana said that he wanted land measuring up to three steps of his tiny feet. But Bali urged the Brahman that he was capable of giving him more and insisted that he asked enough that he would never have to anything ever again. Bali asked Vamana to measure his three-foot sized land and it would be given to him. Then Vishnu in the form of Vamana began growing his size. He grew and grew until he filled the whole universe. He then lifted his foot to measure three steps. In one step he measured the whole Earth under his feet. In his second step he covered the SwargaLok. Vamana in his gigantic form asked his Bali that he had convered the Earth and Heaven in two stride. Now there was nothing left in the universe that could satisfy his demand of the third foot of land. But since Bali had promised him three-foot of land, it was his duty to fulfill his promise. Bali was defeated. But in all his humility he requested Vishnu to come back to his original form of Vamana, so he could fulfill his promise. Vishnu accepted his request and retured his gentle form of a dwarf. The King then asked Vamana to put his third step on his head, thus surrendering everything he had, even himself to Vishnu. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Please Like, Share and Subscribe our videos.*** Press the bell button to stay notified about our new videos! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: 1.

THE HINDU SAGA

Vamana Avatar - Fifth Avatar Of Vishnu | Dashavatar

A philosophy based on how you respond to the circumstances of your life.﻿﻿It's not what happens to you its how you respond to the situation .﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿4 Pillars of Stoicism• Wisdom﻿• Justice﻿• Courage ﻿• Moderation ﻿Philosophy is a way of life, don't just talk about being a good person, but BE A GOOD PERSON.﻿﻿ ﻿

Stoicism 😌

When you speaking consider these:• Honesty• Simplicity• RelevanceBe tactful when pointing out mistakes.• The goal should be  to uplift not to breakdown a person

Speaking wisely🙊

Being about your business means taking actions that align with your highest beliefs. Being clear about your values makes it easier to understand what is a priority in your life. Reflect on your values regularly.• Quiet moments of reflection are recommended - Meditation

Values❤️

Someone is going to die today this is a fact of life that we face every waking moment, the fact that death has not chosen you today is something to be grateful for.Gratitude helps put into perspective the abundance you have in your life. <ul><li>Nothing lasts forever -Momento Mori</li><li>Focus on living a deeply fulfilling life </li><li>It's about the depth, not the length of your life that is important.</li></ul>

Death💀

Humans are thrill-seekers, the physical being wants to be fed with dopamine fillers, there is no need to feel guilty about that but too much of anything is not good for anyone.  As much as we want to feel good physically it is important to "feed the soul".Don't just chase the dopamine• Push yourself to the limit- explore yourself and your limits • The human experience is finite so go on and live it to the fullest by socializing, and exercising whatever gets you going besides the screens.

Desire🧞‍♂️

Whatever you Go through you Grow through Again it's how you respond to the painful experience.H.O.P.EHold On Pain EndsIt does not get easier in life but we become tougher through the rough.Develop your thick skin

Pain🤕

More than anything fear is a friend. Consider how fear is just your mind making you aware of the danger. This has been an attribute of human nature since the dawn of time.Think of fear as a caring friend that doesn't want to see you getting hurt

Fear😱

According to Marcus Aurelius, the antidote to anger is kindness.Yes, anger is a response but it is not the healthiest response to the situation.Whenever you're angry :• Take a moment(count to 10 if you must)• It's best not to react to the situation if you're angry• Remove yourself from the situation and come back when you're calm.• Cooler heads will prevail.• An angry reaction is not a sign of strength or power -its a loss of self-control.

Anger🤬

I'm not religious I'm spiritual. I enjoy whatever feeds the soul.

"This book is a wonderful introduction to one of history's greatest figures: Marcus Aurelius.

Manomaya Kosha

<ol><li>The third layer is pranamya kosha.</li><li>Prana means life energy.This energy drives the 1st and 2nd energies.</li><li>The first 2 energies are physical and can be felt. But this gives life to it.</li></ol>

Aanandamaya Kosha

Only Sadguru can convince a person both spiritually and scientifically, since he's a wonderful person❤

Death is a taboo in most societies in the world. But what if we have got this completely wrong? What if death was not the catastrophe it is made out to be but an essential aspect of life, rife with spiritual possibilities for transcendence? For the first time, someone is saying just that. n this unique treatise-like exposition, Sadhguru dwells extensively upon his inner experience as he expounds on the more profound aspects of death that are rarely spoken about. From a practical standpoint, he elaborates on what preparations one can make for one's death, how best we can assist someone who is dying and how we can continue to support their journey even after death. Whether a believer or not, a devotee or an agnostic, an accomplished seeker or a simpleton, this is truly a book for all those who shall die!

Sadhguru

Death

"It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things."

"I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do."

"Learning never exhausts the mind."

"All sciences are vain and full of errors that are not born of experience, the mother of all knowledge."

"The acquisition of knowledge is always of use to the intellect, because it may thus drive out useless things and retain the good. For nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first known."

"Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind. So we must stretch ourselves to the very limits of human possibility. Anything less is a sin against both God and man."

"Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does nature because in her inventions nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous."

"Although nature commences with reason and ends in experience, it is necessary for us to do the opposite, that is to commence with experience and from this to proceed to investigate the reason."

"Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen."

"The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects."

"Nature never breaks her own laws."

"I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death."

"Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in."

Leonardo da Vinci Quotes

Hirankashyap was the most cruel demon the world would have ever witnessed. As his brother Hiranyaksha was killed by the Varaha (3rd avatar of Vishnu), he had a deep enemity towards Lord Vishnu.

Vengeance Of Hiranyakashyap

Hiranyakashyap splashed the blood of all major precious life forms on earth on his axe. With a thought that Lord Vishnu might appear to battle with him for his deeds.

Impact

Prahlad was born to Kayadhu, who was the wife of Hiranyakashyap. Being inside the womb of his mother, was pledged with divine qualities which were the teachings and learnings of Lord Vishnu.Unlike his father, the kid grew out to be a bright devotee of equality and pure wisdom.

Prahlad - Son Of Hiranyakashyap

Like Hiranyaksha, his brother achieved a different & unique boon from Lord Brahma which stated that no human or animal, even in a day or a night, not on the land or the sky, not inside or outside and not any weapon could kill him.

Boon Of Lord Brahma

Hiranyakashyap tempered by the fact that his son is a follower of his biggest enemy. He became so raged that he tried to kill his son by throwing him off the edge of the mountain, dropping noxious snakes and also choking him in the water but nothing worked all along.

Efforts For The Death Of Prahlad

Gravitised in rage he asked his son if his Master does exist where is his Master. The son calmly replied, " He is just everywhere". The king angrily showed the pillar and unintentionally destroyed it, but he was totally astonished to see the presence of a lion-faced, fierced-nailed divine spirit named Narasimha.

Legendary Appearance Of Narasimha 

The Avatar took the demon on his lap and pierced his stomach with his ferocious nails. The death defeated the boon as :Demon was killed at the time of dusk not a day or a night, placed on the lap not even land or sky, defeated by a half lion half human, happened to be at the threshold of palace not inside or outside, more of a part here the nails were used to kill, rather than any weapon.

Strategical Death Of Hiranyakashyap 

Narasimha Avatar - Fourth Avatar Of Vishnu | Dashavatar Hiranyakashyap was the brother of Hiranyaksha who was killed by the second avatar of Vishnu, the Varaha avatar. When he saw that Hiranyaksha had been killed by Vishnu he swore vengeance. He meditated to Lord Brahma and because of his severe penance, he asked his boon to be that he would not die during the day or the night; on land, at sea or in the sky; inside or outside; by the hands of human or beast; or by any weapon. Brahma granted him his wish. Now, he thought, he was immortal. Having obtained the boon, he considered himself the supreme God and forbade all worship of Gods by anyone. In due course Hiranyakashyap had a son. His name was Prahlad. When Prahlad was born to Hiranyakashyap's wife - Kayadhu, the demon was in the Himalayas doing intense penance to please Lord Brahma for obtaining his boon. Interestingly Prahlad was destined to take birth at the humble abode of Devarshi Narada Muni, and none other than Goddess Yogmaya helped Kayadhu deliver her baby. Therefore, Prahald was always surrounded by sages who preached him the greatness of Vishnu. Prahlad grew up to be a great devotee and had the blessings of Lord Vishnu and the Gods even when he was in his mother's womb. Hence, despite being the son of an Asura, the boy turned out to be quite different from his father and exhibited divine qualities. Unable to tolerate a member of his family worshipping his mortal enemy, he decided to kill his own son. But it was not easy. He gave him to his soldiers to execute, but they couldn’t do it. He tried throwing him off a cliff, crushing him beneath an elephant, putting him amongst venomous snakes and poisoning his food. Nothing would work. During a particular attempt on Prahlad's life, King Hiranyakashyap called upon his sister Holika for help. Holika had a special cloak garment that prevented her from being harmed by fire. Hiranyakashyap asked her to sit on a bonfire with Prahlad, by tricking the boy to sit on her lap. However, as the fire roared, the garment flew from Holika and covered Prahlad. Holika burnt to death, Prahlad came out unharmed. Prahlad’s life was always protected by some supernatural force. “Where is this Vishnu of yours! Let me see him so that I can kill him!” “He’s everywhere!” replied Prahlad. “Then he’s in this pillar,” cried the demon, and rushing at a nearby pillar of the palace struck it a terrible blow. At that moment a fearful sound came from the pillar, as if the universe itself was about to split apart. All who heard it were afraid. The pillar burst asunder and a terrifying form emerged from it – with the head of a lion and the body of a man. This was Narasimha, the man-lion incarnation of Vishnu, who had come to protect his devotee, Prahlad. Hiranyakashyap tried to attack him, as an insect flies into a fire. After a brief struggle, Narasimha picked up the demon and killed him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Please Like, Share and Subscribe our videos.*** Press the bell button to stay notified about our new videos! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: 1.

Narasimha Avatar - Fourth Avatar Of Vishnu | Dashavatar

Hiranyakashyap was the brother of Hiranyaksha who was killed by the second avatar of Vishnu, the Varaha avatar. When he saw that Hiranyaksha had been killed by Vishnu he swore vengeance. 

He meditated to Lord Brahma and because of his severe penance, he asked his boon to be that he would not die during the day or the night; on land, at sea or in the sky; inside or outside; by the hands of human or beast; or by any weapon. Brahma granted him his wish. Now, he thought, he was immortal.

Having obtained the boon, he considered himself the supreme God and forbade all worship of Gods by anyone. In due course Hiranyakashyap had a son. His name was Prahlad. When Prahlad was born to Hiranyakashyap's wife - Kayadhu, the demon was in the Himalayas doing intense penance to please Lord Brahma for obtaining his boon. Interestingly Prahlad was destined to take birth at the humble abode of Devarshi Narada Muni, and none other than Goddess Yogmaya helped Kayadhu deliver her baby. Therefore, Prahald was always surrounded by sages who preached him the greatness of Vishnu. Prahlad grew up to be a great devotee and had the blessings of Lord Vishnu and the Gods even when he was in his mother's womb. Hence, despite being the son of an Asura, the boy turned out to be quite different from his father and exhibited divine qualities.

Unable to tolerate a member of his family worshipping his mortal enemy, he decided to kill his own son. But it was not easy. He gave him to his soldiers to execute, but they couldn’t do it. He tried throwing him off a cliff, crushing him beneath an elephant, putting him amongst venomous snakes and poisoning his food. Nothing would work.  During a particular attempt on Prahlad's life, King Hiranyakashyap called upon his sister Holika for help. Holika had a special cloak garment that prevented her from being harmed by fire. Hiranyakashyap asked her to sit on a bonfire with Prahlad, by tricking the boy to sit on her lap. However, as the fire roared, the garment flew from Holika and covered Prahlad. Holika burnt to death, Prahlad came out unharmed. Prahlad’s life was always protected by some supernatural force.

“Where is this Vishnu of yours! Let me see him so that I can kill him!”
“He’s everywhere!” replied Prahlad.
“Then he’s in this pillar,” cried the demon, and rushing at a nearby pillar of the palace struck it a terrible blow. At that moment a fearful sound came from the pillar, as if the universe itself was about to split apart. All who heard it were afraid. The pillar burst asunder and a terrifying form emerged from it – with the head of a lion and the body of a man.

Narasimha Avatar - Fourth Avatar Of Vishnu | Dashavatar

The demon appeared like a powerful grandiose creature skyscrapping itself till end of the sky, blocking the winds, rays of the Sun. Easy to catch anybody's attention even in the three lokas. He is said to have stolen the significant spiritual knowledge of Vedas and Holy Writings from the Lord Brahma when he was asleep.

Hiranyaksha - The Emperor

The Hiranyaksha in his endless greed tried to capture all the significant resources of earth, he started mining and quarrelling the earth. As nobody to stop him, the Mother Earth became weak and baseless, fell to the bottom of the universe - primeval waters.

The Fall

Lord Vishnu transformed itself as a beautiful boar Varaha. Initiated just as a miniaturous form, it carried the earth from the bottom of the primeval waters on its tusks, till it grew big until reaching upto heavens.Apart from the genuine ugliness of the boar which we look, Varaha was one of the most mastered and empathic creation of the universe with the 2 golden tusks and lustre-pearl eyes.

Arrival Of The Saviour

The reason for this type of reincaranation was the boon which Lord Brahma gave to the demon Hiranyaksha, stating that no human, beast or God would able to defeat him.Varaha fought with the demon, defeating and acquiring the gem consisting of the Vedas Knowledge and giving it back to the Lord Brahma.

Restoring The Balance Of The Earth

Varaha Avatar - Third Avatar Of Vishnu Hiranyaksha was the first and greatest demon that ever walked this earth. He wore golden anklets, a golden girdle, golden bracelets on his arms, golden armour and a crown of gold. To obtain this gold he mined the earth. He considered the earth as his property to do with as he wished, and so he mined her deeper and deeper – so deep that Mother Earth lost her inner balance and fell from her position in space. Plunging to the depths she came to rest in the primeval waters which lie at the very bottom of the universe. There she lay, lost and helpless in the darkness. Varaha had a boon from Lord Brahma that no beast, nor man, nor god could kill him. Vishnu saw the distress of the earth planet as she was lying in the dark ocean. So, Vishnu took the form of a gigantic boar, Varaha, and entered the universe to rescue the earth from the deep. It is said that he first appeared in a tiny form no larger than a thumb, and steadily grew until he seemed to fill the heavens. Although a boar is normally considered to be an ugly animal, Varaha was most beautiful. All the demigods and sages sung his glories as he dived into the ocean to rescue Earth. Meanwhile Hiranyaksha, not caring for the earth’s predicament, roamed about restlessly looking for someone with whom to do battle. As Varaha was picking up the earth on his tusks, the angry demon came upon him and eagerly challenged him to fight. He pushed the Earth to the Pataal loka, or the under of the sea. He stole the Vedas, the holy scriptures from the Lord Brahma, while he was asleep and performed huge atrocities. There was a great battle, fought for the sake of the Earth, in which the demon finally lost his life. Varaha picked up the earth with his two tusks and carefully restored her to her proper position in space and retrieved the Vedas from the asura and brought it back to the safe custody of the Lord Brahma. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Please Like, Share and Subscribe our videos.*** Press the bell button to stay notified about our new videos! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: 1.

Varaha Avatar - Third Avatar Of Vishnu

A furious sage Durvasa once cursed all the Demigods and Devas, when the Lord Indra (King of Devas) carelessly dropped the garlands of flowers and ended up being stepped by his elephant which were given by the sage.The sage in pierce anger cursed all the Devas and Demigods to lose their immortality.

Curse Of The Sage Durvasa

Demigods for help went to Lord Vishnu who suggested to churn the Ocean Of Milk with the help of Asuras. The churning would give out Amrit, also known as the Nectar of Immortality, which will be divided among the Asuras and Devas.

Regaining The Immortality 

They started adding all sorts of vegetables, grasses and herbs for churning, they used the prestigious Golden Mandara Mountain as the churning rod. They used Vasuki (the Snake) as a rope and they began churning. This is also popularly known as Samudra Manthan.

Ocean Of Milk

Lord Indra with the deceived wisdom created a foul play which gave the Asuras the head-end of Vasuki which led to poisoning and weakening them. Hence, the Demigods got the tail-end and Asuras got the head-end.

During The Samudra Manthan

The mountain slowly began to sank into the ocean, it was then the Lord Vishnu manifested himself in a form of humonguous tortoise Kurma. The tortoise then weighed the mountain on his back and the churning caused some scratching which gave some pleasure to Kurma.

Reincarnation Of Vishnu as Kurma

As soon as the Nectar was formed, a feud emerged in between the Devas and the Asuras. Lord Vishnu then took form of a most beautiful and ravish woman named Mohini, which then outsmarted the attention of Asuras and gave the Nectar to the Devas.The Asuras in rage begun a battle for the Amrit against the Demigods. Finally the Asuras where defeated and peace was awakened.

The Hoodwink Trap Of Mohini

Kurma Avatar - The Second Avatar Of Vishnu | Dashavatar Upon the news of the co-operation between the Devas and Asuras, Vishnu told them what exactly to do. In the universe is a sacred ocean of milk. They would have to throw all kinds of vegetables, grass, creepers and herbs into that ocean and churn it. From this churning, he said, would come the Nectar of Immortality. To churn the ocean they would have to use the golden mountain, Mandara, as a churning rod. With great difficulty and Vishnu’s help they managed to lift and transfer Mount Mandara to the Milk Ocean. They used Vasuki, the giant serpent, as a rope. At the start, playing a trick, Indra asked the asuras for the head end of Vasuki. But asuras suspecting foul play, took the head end, only to be deceived as the poison from Vasuki was slowly weakening them. Wrapping Vasuki round the mountain, the demons took hold of his head and the demigods took his tail and began churning the ocean. They tried to churn, but the mountain sank into the ocean and they began to despair. Vishnu then took the form of a gigantic tortoise, Kurma, and supported the mountain on his back. In the form of a giant tortoise, Kurma balanced the opposing forces of the demons and the demigods about the churning rod of Mount Mandara in the Milk Ocean. The demons and the demigods started to churn again, back and forth. Kurma felt as though they were scratching an itch on his back and this gave him pleasure. The first thing the churning produced was a deadly poison which threatened the whole world. As they continued churning many wonderful things came out of the ocean, but at last they got what they wanted – the Nectar of Immortality. Both groups wanted it, and a quarrel developed. Vishnu came to the aid of the demigods to help them get the nectar for themselves. Lord Vishnu took the form of an apsara, a beautiful maiden named Mohini, and seduced the asuras into letting her distribute the nectar and also to abide by her order of distribution. As soon as the devas were served, Mohini disappeared thus deceiving the asuras and making them totally weak. Seeing that they had lost the amrit, the asuras attacked the devas and after a terrible battle the asuras were defeated. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Please Like, Share and Subscribe our videos.*** Press the bell button to stay notified about our new videos! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: 1.

Kurma Avatar - Second Avatar Of Vishnu | Dashavatar

This king lived with the power & philosophy of saving every single living creation on earth. The king once alongside a river got a tiny fish, which urged him to not send him back to river for the fear of being eaten by the predators.

King Satyavrata (Manu)

The king agreed and took it to the palace, but he didn't know that it was Lord Vishnu in the form of a fish. As they reached the palace the fish's size grew to the astonishment of the king. The more bigger the vessel the more is its grandiose size.

Lord Vishnu As Matya

The fish was transferred from a pot to vessel to pond. The fish seems to have no end with its figure. Finally the king then essenced the divine spirit and apologised to the Matysa. Then the Matsya revealed itself as Lord Vishnu.

Revelation

Matsya announced that after 7 days the world will collapse under the ocean, so Satyavrata was told to gather the Seven Rishis along with all forms of life present in the atmosphere.

Order Of Destruction

Gigantic Clouds begin to appear, started to shower with all of its enemity. Vasuki (the Snake) towed the boat along with the king, Seven Rishis and Lord Vishnu. The whole world entered a stage of complete silence and doom state for countless days.

Wrath Of Chaos

Peace started to restore and balance awakened itself to heal the planet. This was also the golden period when Lord Vishnu gave the gemifying spiritual knowledge of Vedas to the Seven Rishis, which gave a different adherence of divine spirituality to the world. Hence the Satyavrata and the Seven Rishis became the first humans to define the new era.

Dawn Of Revolution 

Matsya Avatar - The First Avatar Of Vishnu Matsya, the first avatar of Vishnu, is in the form of a fish. Vishnu took the form of Matysa to rescue the Manu, the first man as per the Hindu epics from a huge destruction. Once King Satyavrata (the real name of ‘Manu’) was performing a sacred ceremony besides a river. While scooping in some water from the river to offer to Surya, the Sun God, he accidentally caught a tiny fish in the palm of his hand. Satyavrata was ready to release the fish back into the water, but the fish requested otherwise. The tiny fish begged him not to throw it back into the river as the river had bigger fishes that would prey upon it. To save itself from other predators of the sea, the fish requested the King to take it along with him to his palace, convincing him that his palace would be safe and big enough to accommodate a small fish. King Satyavrata took pity on the little fish and took it with himself to his palace. Upon reaching there, he put the fish in a small bowl. The King was happy and satisfied that he was able to save the life of this little being. The next morning Satyavrata came to check on the fish and was surprised to see that the tiny fish he had brought with him had grown large enough to fill the entire pot. This time the King transferred the fish to the largest lake of his Kingdom, but in no time the fish outgrew the lake too. The King had no other option but to drop the fish into the ocean from where he originally rescued it. He apologized to the fish that despite being a King he could not save her or provide enough to ensure her survival. As the fish was dropped into the ocean, its size knew no bounds. It grew beyond what Satyavrata eyes could see. At this point, Satyavrata concluded that this was no ordinary animal, but it had to be a divine appearance of God. After seven days, as Matsya had predicted, huge clouds appeared in all directions and began pouring on land and sea. The huge waves from the ocean flowed into the land, becoming one with it. Soon there was no land in sight and the entire earth was flooded with water. Then Satyavrata with all his companions saw a large mysterious boat floating towards them across the waves. Remembering the words of Matsya, Satyavrata onboarded the Seven Rishis, animals, all his belongings and himself on the boat, finding some safety. Soon Matsya appeared there with the snakkue Vasuki. Vasuki tied itself to the boat on side and held on to the horns of Matsya on the other side. Matsya with the help of Vasuki towed the boat across the waters of devastation. For countless days, darkness covered the world and they wandered across the stormy ocean waiting for the water to subside. During their journey and days of patience, Vishnu in the form of Matsya preached King Satyavrata and the seven sages the spiritual knowledge of the Vedas. Thus, Vishnu – The Preserver from the holy Trinity, was able to save mankind and brought them into the new era, the beginning of Satya Yuga. Satyavrata came to be known as ‘Manu’, the first man and the seven sages who accompanied became the Saptarishis going on to repopulate the earth. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Please Like, Share and Subscribe our videos.*** Press the bell button to stay notified about our new videos! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: 1.
