A seeker of Madhva philosophy. Hails from Rupyapeeta (Udupi). || विष्णो: सर्वोत्तमत्वं च सर्वदा प्रतिपादय || (Hari sarvothama Vayu jeevothama tatva)
Owing to Shukracharya’s prowess acquired by religious austerities, the might of his army and the fruit of the Vishwajit Yāga, the haughty Bali Chakravarthi charged to face Indra in the battlefield. The Śāstras elucidate the preparations Bali undertook to confront Indra – the ruler of the gods, in the battlefield.
Shukracharya, due to various reasons revived Bali who was a demon with sātvika nature. In spite of being a great scholar, Shukracharya helped the demons. The simplest reasoning for this is that Almighty’s wish was such. It was Almighty Himself who sent Shukracharya to assist the demons. The whole purpose of this was to make the demons powerful.
Amongst the infinite incarnations of Lord Vishnu, the Dashavataras are prominent and we are well versed with them. Every single form of Lord Vishnu has its own significance and they inculcate important life lessons. Vamana Avatara and other incarnations where the Almighty took physical form as a human exemplified the way of life which we can very well connect to.
