Bhagavatam:First Skanda:contd

A person who utters the word “Om karam”with the names of Vishnu:Vasudeva,Pradyumna,Sankarshana,and Anirudha with a devoted mind adores the smiling face of the Lord is blessed with composure and balance of mind

The great sages who could conquer the senses and also all the bad qualities like desire,anger, revenge are blessed with the appearance of God but not those who conquered the world.

Even if we control the mind with Yamamu,Niyamamu,Pranayamamu,and pratyaharamu,,at times it is tested with desire and anger.Peace is at a distance luring us.So we will attain peacefulness only with the service of Vasudeva.

The sages who are Nishkamulu,Atmaramulu adore Sri Hari unconditionally as they are above desires and their hearts are filled with only devotion ,nothing else.In turn God has immense compassion for His devotees so He showers His affection on them unreasonably.

Sri Krishna is called “Kamsari”as He killed His uncle Kamsa.He came into this world as an ordinary human being in this Avatara so people mistake Him to be a human being.But He is above all human gunas as He is impersonal,not glued to the physical form and its three gunas.Even if He is one among us He is beyond worldly matter and He is all pervasive.He is not touched with the feelings of happiness and unhappiness.A fire is born out of the friction of two sticks and it can destroy the whole of the forest.In the same way Vasudeva ,without touching any weapon ,got the whole of the evil being destroyed in war now lives in the palace like a common human being.Such is the greatness of this Avatar.

Parikshit was saved by Vasudeva while in the womb of his mother.So he is a terror to the enemy and he is famous with the name “Vishnurathudu”and is adored by every one in this world.

As Parikshit saw Him while in his mother’s womb,he was searching for the same God after his birth all around so he is named as Parikshit.
