THE TEN AVARATHARAMS IN HINDUSIUM


In Hinduism we have the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu namely

1. matsya - fish
2. kurma - tortoise
3. varahar - boar
4. vamana - the small boy.
5. narasimha - man-lion.
6. parasu-rama - axe wielding man.
7. ramar - the perfect man.
8. Krishna - the lord with flute and Balarama - man carrying a plough.

9. Gautama Buddha - man in deep meditation and
10. Kalki - man with turban on horseback wielding a sword.

There is a very logical explanation for all these avatars. As the 1st avatar matsya fish .. The real meaning is that when a child is born he /she is in the womb of the mother. The womb is the place where the child is in water sack and swimming just like a tadpole or just a like fish. He is there four to five weeks in that state. After nine months, he is born or delivered to the outside world.

Upto the age of three or four, he is crawling on all force just like a tortoise kurma and he is at home both on land and in water. At the same time, he will eat anything and everything that his hands get hold off and directly to his mouth. He does not differentiate from good food from the rubbish. Example stools, faeces, urine. Everything is the same to the kid. No difference at all.

Everything is consumed just like a pig or boar. This is varaha avatar boar. He gets up, starts walking and looks like a stunted boy small body with a big head.

This is like in the purana avartar vamana. Then he goes to school, where he learns all the good and bad habits from his friends. When the parents take him out shopping, he causes a tantrum and starts kicking and screaming. If what he desires is not bought immediately. He displaces anger frustration and screams and rolls on the ground and cries for whatever he wants.

This is the devilish stage in a kid or the as the narasimha avatar man / lion. The mother scolds him .. Are you a monkey or a beast? and calling him all names of animal. That is the man / lion stage of a human being as he behaves like an animal although he is a school boy.

As he turns 15 / 16 yrs old, finishing school he is a daredevil and will fight for whatever he thinks is right. Example the gang war, bad hats, different groups and will fight it out whether it is right or wrong.

This is the parasurama avatar axe wielding man. As he is single and all mighty and has an axe to grind with one and everybody around, his pears, teacher and law enforcements officers. This explains the axe
