Ramanand Sagar's 'Shri Krishna' (8):- Varaha Avataar



The next Avataar shown in ‘Shri Krishna’ is Varaha Avataar. 

 After narrating about the Vamana Avataar , Shukdev started the story of Varaha Avataar and Narasimha Avataar. 

 Once upon a time, two ancestors of king Baali , Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha were two powerful kings. Their oppression and tyranny had unleashed universal terror. In order to slay them, the LORD, had to assume two extraordinary  forms in a single aeon (kalp ). At first Shukdev narrated the story of Hiranyaksha. .

 The Asuras knew that- gods gain strength from the pious rituals performed by people on earth . So Hiranyaksha stole/carried the earth from the solar system and hid it under primeval water. Gods went to LORD VISHNU for help .Then HE assumed the form of the Boar /Varaha ( shown as having a man’s body with a boar’s head) and appeared from the nostril of Brahma . HE went under the water in search of Mother Earth. At this, Hiranyaksha was very angry. They had a fierce battle under the sea, after which the LORD killed Hiranyaksha and freed the earth. 

 Then Varaha Avataar carried the Earth out of the ocean between his tusks and restored it to its place in the universe.

Here, we have a song-“Dharani utari sindhu se ...jai jai varaha avataar hare“.

'Shri Krishna Stuti': 2 Songs from Ramanand Saagar's 'Shri Krishna'

Dear Friends, today I am posting two of my most favourite songs from the TV Serial 'Shri Krishna'. Both the songs have these words- 'Shri Krishna Govinda Hare Muraare' ... and the Music is also the same.... The first one is from the scene when Shri Krishna comes to the womb of Devaki, all the god along with Brahmaji and Naaradji come to sing the glory of the Lord! That moment conveys the joy of the coming of the Lord on this earth! I always feel the happiness inside while listening to it. This is the video of the sequence (Uploaded by Dear Sister Lola) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83UELX4Fnn4 The lyrics along with its English Translation was originally posted by Lola in 'India Forums': Narayanaya Namo Namah, Parmeshwaraya Namo Namah - we bow to you, God Y'asmin Sthitah Jagat Sarvam, Sa Janani Garbhe Sthitah- you, within whom the whole universe resides, now reside in this mother's womb Nirakaarah Ajanmayo, So Vayi Sa Karmagatah - formless, unborn, s
