But what to do when there are 2 or more different versions??How can we believe in every line of each and every text?😕

AH! on hidden meanings, in the seventh Canto.

hiranyakasipur uvaca

prahradanucyatam tata

svadhitam kincid uttamam

kalenaitavatayusman

yad asiksad guror bhavan

Hiranyakasipu tells Prahlada:

My dear son, you have learnt so many things from your teachers over a long time, so oh LONG LIVED ONE, tell me what you learnt.

Here, the CAPS, refers to "Ayushman" in the sloka. The hidden meaning is, Hiranyakasipu, who practiced such ghor tapasya, has enough power to grant boons to anyone, and the words uttered by him are "Prahlada Bhavan (you) Ayushman (Long lived) [Bhava] (become)."

Thus, Hiranyakasipu grants Prahlada a long life, and this is why he was totally unable to kill him.

Yes, it must be boring for Brahma, daily he has to see the same episode,.. what can he do?

Thats why the actors and the characters change a bit and the director (aka Vishnu/Mahadev) adds some masala.

For instance, Krishna is not the avatara of only Lord Vishnu.

In different Kalpas, sometimes Vishnu, sometimes Shiva, sometimes Kaali Devi, and sometimes Bhagavan Sri Krsna himself takes this incarnation. This Kalpa was the incarnation of both Narayana and Krsna (though both are the same Personality of Godhead, Narayana is the Protector form of Krsna).

Actually, the basic fact that so and so Avatar is God is ancient,great and higher than everything.All the Purans,Epics,tales...are born out of this fact and finally merge into it.

God existed even before the Puranas were written.His greatness was kept in mind Puranas were written accordingly.But God didn't arise from Puranas.Puranas originated from God.

I do believe in every line, rather I should say, in each & every word of Holy Scriptures 😊 The reason is, I love to keep faith on the words written by ancient sages 😊 they were much more Gyaani & Yogi than us, so how can we disrespect their statements? Also, I don't dare to disbelieve a single word of Scriptures as it may misguide my Spiritual understandings & finally lead me to disbelieve God at the end! If I have no faith in any short place of Ramayana or Mahabharata, then it may raise question on my faith towards Ram or Krishna! Keeping trust is the best thing, I would say! If you keep trust you will never lose anything, but if you start losing faith once, it may increase gradually & finally even hamper your faith in God.

There are people who use to say that, how can we know that Ramayana/Mahabharata/Bhagabata characters really existed? but I think, if we do believe that God incarnated as Ram & Krishna, then we must believe the persons around Him in different yugas & yes, in different kalpas. Also there are people who use to say that, there are many impossible incidents in our Puranas & Epics, & they try to interpret them in their own modern ways. But as devotees we can't do so. We know that God can do anything & everything, right? So keep faith on God & also, on His devotee sages who wrote His Leelas for us!
