was killed by bheem, good What can I say, the classic telling of the Dasha Avatar by my favourite Uncle Pai is the best! I remember reading this as a kid.
The copy I had then was an old and battered book passed on to me by my elder brothers and sisters.
Now, as I hold this brand new book the old one got lost when we shifted houses I reminisce the times I read and felt awed by the mighty avatars.
Very good introduction to the Hindu concept of avatars and the missions they undertook, A succinct book about Lord Vishnu's Avatars
This book will give you a brief idea about various incarnation of lord Vishnu and why they abode earth.
A nice read. h I am in love with blue gods, and Lord Vishnu was the original blue god, the inspiration for James Cameron's Na'vi.
I've grown up reading about Vishnu, writing stories about him, drawing pictures of his incarnation, Krishna, and so an illustrated book that chronicles his ten dasha incarnations avatar has to be at the top of my legendsandmythology list.
This book
contains the stories of theavatars of Lord Vishnu, It is illustrated beautifully and the stories are to the point, Thus, making it a wonderful read!
It is recommended to all Mythology lovers, This book has allstories of theavatars of Lord Vishnu, I found this a great book for kids to introduce them to the mythological characters,
Reading this I remembered how my mom used to tell us these stories, Nostalgic. :
For more such reviews visit sitelink com/category nice A nice introduction to theavatars of Vishnu, If this piques one's interest, one can read the individual titles to know about each of them in detail.
This is one of the longest books of Amar Chitra Katha, I really wanted to know about all the Avatars of Lord Vishnu, I've really enjoyed while reading this book,
Recommended. I never thought about it until reading this book, but if this version is accurate, Buddha was kind of a dick.
I mean, it's great he felt enlightened or whatever, but he still abandoned his wife and son, Would have done more good for the world if he'd stayed a prince and tried to, like, lessen poverty.
The Avatar concept is the very cornerstone of Hindu theology, According to it, the Supreme Power manifests itself in animal or human forms on earth, with the divine mission of cleansing it of the periodically increasing evil.
The Avatar concept is closely related to the measurement of time in Hindu theology which has its basis on one working day of Brahma.
According to the Bhagwat Purana, Brahma, the creator, is the causal effect of the predetermined periodic creation and dissolution of the universe.
Each creation or "Kalpa" is equal to one day and each dissolution of "Pralaya" is equal to one night in the life of Brahma.
A Kalpa and Pralaya last for,million human years each,
Every Kalpa hascycles ofYugas ages, Each cycle ofYugas is completed in,,human years, The Yugas are called Satya, Treta, Dwapara and Kali,
The Avatars which are considered most significant are ten in number and they form the "Dasha Avatar".
These ten start with the form of a lowly fish and work up to the noble man, cast in the image of God.
The fanciful find a parallel to Darwins theory of evolution in the progression of these Avatars,
The Avatars enable the common folk to speak of or listen to stories of divine doings which is a simple way of proceeding towards Godhead particularly in our Kali Yuga with its 'sick hurry and divided aims.
