Bali Chakravarti

Vamanavatara – III

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.

Vamana Avatara – II

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.
