Vishnu Avatars – Ramani's blog

Yagnyeswara Avatar of Adi Narayana, Manvantara Avatar

Sri Rudra addressed to Lord Shiva elevates Yagnya to another level.

While performance of Yagnya is to be without any specific desire in mind,it is hard to do so.

So Sri Rudra dedicates Yagnya thus

Parashurama seems to be present Dwapara,and even in Kaliyuga as he is a Chiranjeevi, Immortal.

To understand this one has to understand the Hindu Time Scale.

So there is a general assumption that, having been called as Brahmachari, he could not have married.

There is also the general rule, according to Puranas, that Vishnu is never separated from His consort, Vishnu, even in His Avatars.

And this is rare.

None of the Avatars of Vishnu is listed as an Aditya.

There is also some reference in later texts there were three Vamana Avatars!

I am reproducing the information below.

It is yet another pointer to Sanatana Dharma being present in the south much earlier to Vedic period.

The philosophical explanation of Yagnya follows in another article.

I have noticed that the name Yagnyanarayanan is present in South India , among Brahmins.

As this Avatar preceded Matsya, which took place after Manu had a family,Yagneswara is the first Avatar of Vishnu.
