Dasavataram- The Real one

Ten Avatars or incarnations of Lord Vishnu....

Throughout the ages, Lord Vishnu, has incarnated in various life forms through different yugas (ages) in situations where Dharma (truth) was in danger because of certain evil elements in the world. There are ten documented instances of incarnation of Lord Vishnu. These incarnations are termed as the avatars of Lord Vishnu.


Ten Avatars of Vishnu
  • Matsya - The Fish
  • Kurma The Tortoise -Kurma was the second avatar of Vishnu. The Devas (Gods) feared that the Asuras (Demons/Evil) would take over the whole world.
  • Varaha - The Boar-Varaha is the third avatar of Vishnu, a boar sent to defeat Hiranyaksha, a horrible demon who had taken the Earth and carried it to the bottom of the ocean.
  • Narasimha - The Man-lion Vishu takes this form to deliver the world from a demon, who had obtained from Brahma the boon, that he should be slain neither by a god, a man, nor an animal.
  • Vamana - The Dwarf Vamana is the Fifth Avatara of Vishnu, a dwarf brahmin. He is also known as Upendra. He defeats the Devas' (Gods') enemy Maha Bali Chakravarthi (of the demon race) into giving up all of the heavens and earth.
  • Parasurama - Rama with the Axe -Parashurama is the sixth avatar of Vishnu and a son of Jamadagni. He received an axe after doing penance for Shiva.
  • Lord Rama - The great king of the Hindu epic, Ramayana.
  • Lord Krishna - He is the most perfect avatar of Vishnu. Lord Krishna (meaning black as well as all-attractive one) is the most worshipped Hindu god.
  • Gautama Buddha - According to popular Hindu beliefs, in the age of Kali Yuga (The Age of Darkness and Destruction) the general populace become more ignorant in regards to spiritual values and religious life.
  • Kalki - Kalki is the name of the tenth and final Maha Avatara (Great Avatar) of Vishnu the Preserver, who will come to end the current Kali Yuga, (The Age of Darkness and Destruction).

Valaikappu(Indian bangle wearing ceromony)

My wife's Valaikappu was held yesterday on 9th Dec 2012. The day actually fall on our 2nd year of our wedding anniversary, My wife was 30 weeks pregnant at that time.Vallaikappu is a combination of two words - vallai - meaning round (as in bangle) and kappu - meaning protection. This ceremony is performed during the odd months of pregnancy mostly during the seventh month for the expectant mother and celebrates the joy of the upcoming motherhood and ensures the welfare of both the mother and the baby inside her womb. Mostly women are invited for this function. The expectant mother is made to wear a lot of bangles mostly glass ones of red and green colors and the sound of these bangles are supposed to reach the womb. We do some cooking our self and especially my wife she do mee-goreng by herself - and we brought some kuih-Muihs and cakes.

Hanuman and Sita Mother necklace

Rama and Sita residing in Hanuman's heart Great rejoicings and festivities followed the return of Sri Rama to Ayodhya and his crowning as the King. After a few days, life went back to normal and all the monkeys who had served as warriors in his army returned to their home in the forest. Only one stayed behind; he was sad to leave the Master of his heart. He stood quietly in a corner and looked at Sri Rama with eyes filled with Love. Sri Rama noticed his fervent devotee and asked: "O mighty hero how am I to compensate you for all you have done for me and my family?" Many would have wanted wealth, name or fame, approbation or recognition or VIP line in return for their services. But Sri Hanuman was above all these: "I desire nothing, Prabhu!" Then the Queen, Sita Mother, removed a valuable necklace of pearls from her neck and offered it to the humble Sri Hanuman. Sri Hanuman took the necklace from Sita Mother. However, strang

Combating Global Warming

Two sides of the world We all hear about Global Warming, but know very little about how to stop or minimize it. We are told to use less energy, electricity, fuel etc. but are not shown the resources on how to, effectively, perform these tasks. Increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere is known as global warming,However with the signs being so evident still we are showing no signs of transforming. West Wall of the World East Wall of the World Man this is soooooo much waterrrrr ... no wonder we are called the Blue Planet ..
