Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 A Quotation from Bhagawan There are various reasons for the advent of the Divine in human form. For the human being, his past Karma is the cause of birth. The circumstances of each one's birth depend on his past actions. Man is bound by the consequences of his actions (Karmaanu bandhini manushya loke). It may be asked what is the karma that accounts for the advent of Avatars. For Divine incarnations karma is not the cause. The evil deeds of the wicked and the good deeds and yearning of the righteous are responsible for the advent of Avatars. The Narasimha avatar (the Divine incarnating as half-man and half-lion) was due to the great devotion of Prahlada and the bad qualities of Hiranyakasipu (Prahalada's father).
