Srimad Bhagavadgeeta : Chapter-4 :- (Akshara brahma yogam ), Slokam-8.

Paritranaya Sadhunam Vinasaya ca Dushkrutam
 Dharmasamsthapanarthaya Sabhvami yuge yuge.

 Sadhunam Paritranaya = To protect and save good people
 Dushkrutam Vinasaya = To destroy and wipe out the bad people
 Dharmasamsthapanarthaya ca = To sustain and maintain Dharmam
 Yuge yuge Sambhvami = My incarnation takes place every yugam


It is clear, that a birth from the Lord, must need a cause/desire, where there is no desire karma never takes place.
 Without the aid of any instrument the presence of electricity is not seen/felt. Likewise, the Brahmam, if to take the form of the Lord or human form, some sort of desire/aim should be behind it.

 Then what is the aim of Krishnavatharam? This is clear from Vyasamaharishi's words. The desire for unselfish service to the world is the highest and superior desire that one should have, whereever it is, it is the desire only.

 Nikotine may not kill human suddenly, still it is poison.

 Just like that, saving good people from evil doers, is, if the aim of avatharam, then another karmam is also necessary ------- Removal of evils.

 Vinasam: destruction, is not complete wipeout of the individual evil doers, it is the removal of evil vasanas ( nature, thoughts, conduct) from the individual doers.

 It is like separating old cloths, dresses and replcing with fresh new items in the almairah.
 Avathara purushas encourage good, and mend the bad, and destroy them when they do not listen the warning and adament to remain evil.

 Arjuna was not in the mood to fight the war, not ready to listen his friend Krishna.
 But Lord takes care Arjuna as if Arjuna a child.
 Why Lord need to explain the secret of his Avatharam?

The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita : Ch-5. Part-5.( Last Part)

5: God is Our Eternal Friend-5. ( Last Part ) We are filled with doubts in our minds—we can prepare a dictionary of all our doubts—they are endless. Everywhere we have a suspicious attitude about the world, about things, about people, about ourselves, about the past, about the present, and about the future. These doubts cannot be dispelled until knowledge arises, and we know what knowledge means, an insight into which we have been given in the second chapter of the Gita. Knowledge is the knowledge of God ultimately, and as a result, knowledge of the nature of the world in its reality, as mentioned in the third chapter. This is true knowledge, and when we are awakened to this real knowledge, all doubts get dispelled. Then what happens? Atmavantam—we become truly possessed of the Self that we really are. We are people who have lost ourselves and are in pursuit of things outside. Yes, this is what has happened; we have grasped the world and lost our own selves, and we are

Chapter 10: The Imperishable Among All that is Perishable : Part-3. We are told in the Puranas that Narayana or Vishnu takes incarnations for the preservation of creation. Vishnu is regarded as yajna itself. It is the highest sacrifice—God sacrificing himself every moment of time for the sustenance of His creation. As adhiyajna He is the administrative power and the methodology of the working of the cosmos. All activity is comprehended under this yajna of the cosmos. Therefore God is present in all activity when it is considered as a passage to God, when it is regarded as a manifestation of God as rays emanating from the sun. Those wise souls who envisage God as adhibhuta, adhidaiva and adhiyajna, which means to say, who encounter God as a comprehensive Absolute and not merely existing only here or there, such devotees are true knowers. They can entertain or maintain this consciousness even at the time of passing from this world—they are not deprived of th

9: The Unity of the Lover and the Beloved : Part-8. The distressed souls seeking God are of one type. One who is baked in the fire of samsaram,who is tortured in this hell of earth, suffering through various sorrows, seeks riddance from the grief of the world by resort to God under the impression that God is like a parent—a father or a mother or a supreme saviour. The intention behind this devotion is redress—freedom from sorrow, the inability to bear suffering. This is the reason here behind the devotion to God. Whether this could be an adequate reason, anyone can contemplate independently for oneself. Can we love God merely because He is the only source of redemption from our sorrows? Do we want freedom from sorrow, or do we want God? That is a different question that will come up later on. Swami Krishnananda To be continued  ....
