A question from a 10 year old child

[Guest guest]

Dear Aasthikaas,

 

Namaskaram. I would like to take the liberty of posting here a

question from my 10 year old daughter, and seek a suitable answer to

quench her curiosity.

 

I was explaining to her the stories of the Dasa Avathaaras and told

her that as the final and 10th Avathara, the Lord will come to the

earth at the end of Kali Yuga as Kalki Avathara and destroy the evil

forces.

 

She wanted to know why the Lord should wait until the very end of

Kali Yuga to do this. She asked "Why does not he come earlier and

get rid of the evil forces". I could not think of a suitable answer

and wanted some guidance in this reply.

 

I hope someone would show me the path.

Dear Mr.Vasudevan ,

your 10 year old daughter is very clever in asking this pertinent question.

Yes. Even many elders have this feeling , but due to shyness they refrain from

asking.

Probably you may answer her based on the following , which is my understanding

and may be some would explain it differently.

The avatars are taken by Lord , not only to remove evils but also to protect the

righteous person and the Dharma.

In today's world there could be many Duriodhanas, Ravanas and Hiranyakasapus.

But still the world has not perceived an Yudhishtra , Vibhishana or Prahlad.

So the Lord is waiting for that good soul to come to this earth so that he could

take the 10th Avatar and save all. So tell your daughter to develop in herself

the attributes of Prahalad and probably she could be a tool for Lord to protect

the universe.

Trust this will help you to answer your daughter.

Dear Raghavan

 

Namaskaram. Only 5000 and odd years passed so far in Kali yuga. A balance of

about 445000 years yet to come. So what evils & atrocities we presently

experience probably nothing if we happen to compare it with what is in store

for future. Moreover, in kali yuga Nama Samkirtan is given very high

priority for salvation.

Which means near the end of Kali, there will be scaricty of souls to recite

His name. So God would appear when things go worst, uncontrollable and all

are helpless (near the end of Kali Yuga). In my view He is waiting for the

Worst.

 

Please Enlighten. My views may be wrong.

SrI Raghavan,

 

In the Bhagavad-gita, the Lord says,

 

"paritrANAya sAdhUnAm, vinASAya ca dushkrtam...

.....sambhavAmi yugE yugE".

 

>From what I have gathered from learned people,

the MAIN purpose of God's avathArams is

"sAdhu paritrANam".. The destruction of the evil

forces is incidental.(denoted by the "ca").

Because destruction of evil forces can easily done by

God, staying in VaikunTha).

 

So probably, the Lord is waiting for such devotees

who are totally dedicated to Him and long for His

vision on this earth...

 

Learned bhAgavatAs may please clarify further.

 

Swami Desikan TiruvadigalE Saranam,

daasan,

Srikanth

There are many answers to this. In fact Kalki's coming after the previous (9th)

avatara is after a much shorter period compared to the difference between say

Kurma and Varaha avataras. This difference keeps decreasing as adharma keeps

increasing faster and the necessity for Lord to descend becomes more frequent.

There is Mahayugas of difference between consecutive avataras initially, then it

reduces. Sri Krishna belongs to end of dwapara and Kalki comes at the end of

Kaliyuga the shortest Yuga. Even in between this short period there are

amsavataras descending from time to time. So it is more correct to say that He

comes quicker and more quicker than waits long.

 

Alternately, the sequence of avataras can be seen as evolution of life. Matsya -

water animal, Kurma - amphibian, Varaha - land animal, Narasimha - animal-man,

Vamana - pigmie-man, Parashurama - Tamasic-Rajasic man, Rama - Satwik man,

Krishna - who speaks of dharma as eternal and dynamic and shoots beyond mind,

there are different versions that the 9th avatara is Balarama or Buddha, but if

it is Buddha we say he ascends to liberation, then Kalki - who affects descent

of divine consciousness over earth consciousness. So that is the culmination of

evolution. And initial stages in this evolution are very slow and painful, later

stages are quick. For a land animal to come to existence from an amphibian came

it takes much much longer in fact lakhs of years. But for a spiritual man to

come out of a mental man it takes thousands of years, the gap is much smaller.

Even on that count, Kalki actually comes fast compared to previous avataras than

waits for long.

Dear Shri Vasudevan,

 

Adding to Shri Sampath's statements.

 

It is told that that Good and Evil forces manifest in different manner.

 

1. During krutha yugam as Devaas & Asuraas

2. During thrEthaa yugam as Rishis and Raakshasaas.

3. During dwaapara yugam, it came within brothers in a family.

4. In Kali yugam, it is within oneself.

 

Moreover dharma was the base for earlier avatars. Now people think that mere

bhakthi will take them up. If bhakthi was the criteria, Ravana should have got

saved as he was revered Shiva bhaktha, sama vedi and brahmana. But due to his

adharmic acts only, he was eliminated by lord.

 

So there is no field for the god to get into an avatar now. Let us practice

dharma (dharmaa is not dhaanaa)rigourously and create a field for Lord to

manifest.

 

Thanks,

Srinath

Sri:

 

Dear sirs,

 

What little i have learnt let me make an attempt in

answering the child's question. It is Iswara sankalpa

that certain things should happen in destined times,

Ahalya's Vimochanam has to be done only when Rama

treads on the stone in His path to Mithila. Till then

Ahalya had to wait. Similarly Sabri's moksha has to

take place only on having darshan of Lord Rama. Again

Sabari had to wait for Rama.

 

Similarly Ravana had to die in the hands of Rama. It

is mere Iswara sankalpa. Just as it is difficult for

us to measure an ocean with a tumbler, so is Ishwara's

action difficult to be measured by our little brain.

We need to go to higher spiritual levels to get

answers for such kind of questions.

 

Regards,

 

Dasan,

 

Sriram

Dear All,

 

I have read most of the responses to this subject matter "A question from a

10 year old child"

 

I will try and put our thoughts here. We have been through this phase few

years back especially with the outside world of western culture we live in.

Its very hard to answer these questions. Our thought is lets understand how

the previous Avataras of Lord Vishnu happened, It took a while for this Evil

to establish and make it worse for itself at the ripe time when Dharma was

loosing grounds Lord had to take a corrective step.

 

Likewise in this yuga Dharma is strong and evil is only a tactical issue. So

to summarize Lord is very forgiving and does wait to see if the evil changes

its pattern even a bit so Lord can forgive, if Dharma is passed by this so

called evil then the Lords direct presence is eminent.

 

Hope I have not confused this issue further.

Dear Bhaagavathaas,

 

Avatara concept is clarified in Chapter 4 of Gita.

Avatara's can happen as needed anywhere and anyhow.

Our formost authoritative texts are prasthaana trayams

(Upanishads, Brahmasutras and BhagavadgIta).

That is where we should look for whole truth.

 

later scriptures such as Puranams elaborate the

principles contained in aadhaarams with examples

Dashavatara of the puraaNaas refers to some popularly

celebrated avataras.

 

Eveyone is an avatara to a limited extent

and in a limited context.

Anyone who raises up to the occasion and does

something heroic, is an avatara.

Like Joseph Campbell's hero with a thousand faces.

 

At all times there are good and evil.

Daivaasura vibhaaga was always there and

will always be there. It is funny to argue

that there are no good people today for God

to protect. Also to say that God has to

physically incarnate to protect the good,

whereas, he can punish the evil from Vaikuntam

also does not make sense.

I think we should look at these things in a broader sense

to get the full benefit. Otherwise we will be stuck with some

itsy bitsy never get anywhere doubts and rationalizations.

Dear Sri Raghavan,

 

Namaskarams. Your daughter's query was very suitable for a debate, however,

when we were discussing this within our house, my son(9 years old) gave a

different explanation to this :

a.. "The God is not a local policeman to come and hit bad people whenever they

do wrong. He will come only when a big offence is committed"

b.. "The biggest offences are still in waiting and the God will descend only

at that time"

Eventhough the above answer is childish, it has kindled adiyen's thoughts and

would request the opinion of our learned bhagavathas, if it is fit for further

enlightnment.

 

with pranamams,

A question from a 10 year old child

 

 

Dear Aasthikaas,

 

Namaskaram. I would like to take the liberty of posting here a

question from my 10 year old daughter, and seek a suitable answer to

quench her curiosity.

 

I was explaining to her the stories of the Dasa Avathaaras and told

her that as the final and 10th Avathara, the Lord will come to the

earth at the end of Kali Yuga as Kalki Avathara and destroy the evil

forces.

 

She wanted to know why the Lord should wait until the very end of

Kali Yuga to do this. She asked "Why does not he come earlier and

get rid of the evil forces". I could not think of a suitable answer

and wanted some guidance in this reply.

 

I hope someone would show me the path.

This happening that i am writing might not but be totally relevant to your

daughter's question but still I would like to share with you all.

 

My nephew , 3 years old, was staying at his grandmother's house as his mother

(my cousin) was preparing for her PG entrance examination.

 

His grand mother had told him the story of Dhruva, from the time he heard this

story he started praying for his mother to get a seat for doing her MDS.

 

Sriman Narayana heard his prayers and his mother stood FIRST in the State

Entrance exam for PG in Dental.

 

This way Bhagawan always listens to the person who has faith and bhakthi towards

him.

 

Like wise your daughter's devotion , I think is going to ward off all evil

things from this world and she is going to be a shining star jus like Dhruva.

Hari OM!

 

Dear Ones,

 

The reason that we are doing Satsangs itself is the proof that, even though

there is evil forces in this world, they are not dominating enough for Lord to

come and solve it, The Sanayasis and Gurus are enough for them now.

 

But a time will come, even the Satsang is not allowed, to do. the evil minded

people of Kaliyuga will block doing Satsang, Homa, Yaga, Yagna etc, at that

right time Lord will take his "Kalki Avtar" and we are only in the first quarter

of Kaliyuga.

 

Think of Prahlada Maharaj, the Lord came as Sri Narasimha only at the end,

Prahlada suffered a lot, because of his father. is it not. In the same way we

can explain it to children.

 

We are all lucky that we took birth in this Kaliyuga, because in this particular

Yuga, Nama Japa, and meditation is enough for Moksha.

 

With Love & OM!

Dear Sri Raghavan,

 

Namaskarams. Your daughter's query was very suitable for a debate, however,

when we were discussing this within our house, my son(9 years old) gave a

different explanation to this :

a.. "The God is not a local policeman to come and hit bad people whenever they

do wrong. He will come only when a big offence is committed"

b.. "The biggest offences are still in waiting and the God will descend only

at that time"

Eventhough the above answer is childish, it has kindled adiyen's thoughts and

would request the opinion of our learned bhagavathas, if it is fit for further

enlightnment.

A question from a 10 year old child

 

 

Dear Aasthikaas,

 

Namaskaram. I would like to take the liberty of posting here a

question from my 10 year old daughter, and seek a suitable answer to

quench her curiosity.

 

I was explaining to her the stories of the Dasa Avathaaras and told

her that as the final and 10th Avathara, the Lord will come to the

earth at the end of Kali Yuga as Kalki Avathara and destroy the evil

forces.

 

She wanted to know why the Lord should wait until the very end of

Kali Yuga to do this. She asked "Why does not he come earlier and

get rid of the evil forces". I could not think of a suitable answer

and wanted some guidance in this reply.

 

I hope someone would show me the path.

Dear Bhagavatas:

Enough has been said by members on the subject to the point of saturation. This

will be the last posting, please.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

dear bhaktas,

Adiyen maybe permitted to tell asmall stoy from vedantha regarding this

issue,' once a maharishi was coming through a forest all the bamboo trees above

the land were gutted the maharishi was very sad to the fact that the entire

forest has become a handfull of ashes .

Later on after three months he was returning from shethradanam to his surprise

the forest completely burnt some months ago has become totally green and

flourishing with lives.The maharishi understood that the agni was able to fire

only the portion of the trees above the earth and not the roots.by the sight of

new rains the roots broke its dormancy and came out as a plant. In our day today

life also the body is the bamboo and our vasanabuddi is the root. Whatever

prayachitta karma we perform that will purify only the papam (sin) without

touching the root. for removal of roots the requirements is vasudeva parayana.By

the karmas each human being assimilates papas .By doing their prayachitta karmas

only the papas are burnt there is no damage to the root and the god by simple

punishments removes the external papas .The solvation for a soul is possible

only if the root for the papa is removed, at that time bhagavan takes the

avatara of kalki and removes the root of the papas to provide

solvation to those who always live in the pool of papas ..when everything

fails and the root anchored itself in the heart strongly the god has no course

except to come as bhgavan kalki in the form of a devstating fire.

god declares that he do not have any karma for him to do but with out rest he

is doing so many karmas .god is having the quality of bhootakrith( created

evrything) bhootvrith (holding evrything) inspite of all these things he is

having dharidaryam.his dharidaryam is that he has no body equal to him either no

body above him .. from the above we may conclude that the supreme god is the

absolute owner of all lokas , and his sankalpa is divine after allowing the

mother nature to do its functions, only where it is absolutely essential god

takes an active role like the kalki avatar

A question from a 10 year old child

 

 

Dear Aasthikaas,

 

Namaskaram. I would like to take the liberty of posting here a

question from my 10 year old daughter, and seek a suitable answer to

quench her curiosity.

 

I was explaining to her the stories of the Dasa Avathaaras and told

her that as the final and 10th Avathara, the Lord will come to the

earth at the end of Kali Yuga as Kalki Avathara and destroy the evil

forces.

 

She wanted to know why the Lord should wait until the very end of

Kali Yuga to do this. She asked "Why does not he come earlier and

get rid of the evil forces". I could not think of a suitable answer

and wanted some guidance in this reply.

 

I hope someone would show me the path.
