Shruti, lovely post. Very interesting. I know nothing about these yugs and avatars. I know one thing that is Lord Vishnu had taken 10 roops in different yugs and Lord Ram and Lord Krishna are one of them. I may be wrong. Whatever little I know is from Mahabharat which was aired on SP.

Can you please tell me the meanings of prakriti, maryada purushottam and purnavatar?

@fatssrilanka nice to see your comments. As the show progresses hope the discussions can help you understand and appreciate Indian culture better. Now to your question. Prakriti means Nature. Purush means Man. Hinduism or Indian culture treats Nature as mother or woman. So if the world needs balance Nature and Man has to be in sync, in balance. Man and woman has to be in balance. And each aspect of Vedic culture, Vedic ritual if you delve deep will try to bring out this aspect of balance.

Now Maryadapurushottam means Among men the most virtuous, most gentle and a man who showed how you need to lead life without loosing the virtues in you even in adverse circumstances.

It is said that Vishnu has 16 aspects ( some books say 64 aspects so it varies) and in Ram only 14 aspects where there, whereas in Krishna he came with all 16 aspects, that is literally God in human form. if you watched SP MB there is a scene where Lord Vishnu comes in front of Devaki -Vasudev before the birth of Krishna and tells he is coming in her womb with all his kalas. So Krishna in a way is Vishnu himself, has embodied all the cosmic secrets. That's why he is called Leeladhar. Because all his actions has inner meanings and unless you understand them you should not replicate them.

It is advised to follow Ram's path for a virtuous life. But is that path possible in Kaliyuga the way he followed it in treat yuga is the big question.

Because Ram's path still can be followed but it has to be changed to suit Kaliyug. Krishna also seems to have followed Ram's path, but adapted to suit Dwapar Yug.

That's why I said, I have kind of understood Krishna's path, but to understand better Ram's path has to be known with more clarity. Because that is the virtous path, the path all the spiritual texts refers to. In nutshell you have to understand the fundamentals of the balance between nature and man.

@Ramya Hanuman is Rudramsa. I mean an avatar of Shiva. He is also chiranjeevi. Basically Rudramsa and Vishnuamsa is available in the world even now is the take. We just have to look for it. Shiv and Narayan are needed in the world. Narayan for sustenance and Shiv for destruction. More or less they always co-exist.

@varshu thank you. It encourages me to write.

yes sruthi. we can see siva accompanying vishnu and vice-versa in most of the avatar. For me the excellent eg is chidambaram temple. do u know the chidambaram secret?😉 beautiful one

@shruthi: Actually the believed secret was the shrine of shiva and parvati behind the curtain of nataraj but recently proved that the earth gravity falls on the feet of nataraj idol.

Though I am not fully convinced abt the gravity issue somewhat the place gave a feeling. I wonder how the construction was done?

Thank you, Shruti for enlightening me. J have watched SP Mahabharat and I do remember that scene very well.
