MIHIRA MUNI , THE GREAT ASTROLOGER CUM ASTRONOMER VADAKAYIL
The four sages Sanak, Sanandan, Sanatan and Sanat were learned brahmins. They were the manasaputras of Brahma (sons born from the mind or thought power of Brahma).
The four Kumaras ( sages ) undertook lifelong vows of celibacy (brahmacharya) against the wishes of their father. They were said to wander throughout the materialistic and spiritualistic universe without any desire but with purpose to teach. All four brothers are studied Vedas from their childhood, and always travelled together.
They were very proud of their father, Brahma because he was the creator of the holy books , Vedas. They were aware of three Vedas Rigveda,Yajurveda, and Samaveda and considered that the whole knowledge is complete in these three books. On the other hand Sage Atharva approached Lord Shiva to get approval of his knowledge which he gathered from the universe using his divine powers.
Lord Shiva, impressed by his creation and blessed Sage Atharva that his book of knowledge would constitute the list of Vedas and will be called as ‘Atharvaveda’. When this news reached the sons of Lord Brahma, they protested as according to them the other three Vedas was a complete set of knowledge and there was no need of fourth Veda. They argued Lord Shiva and challenged his authority to certify fourth veda. .
Finally it was decided that whether to certify fourth Veda or not depends upon the result of debate. Saraswati , the Goddess of knowledge was appointed as judge. The four Sages fired too much and too complicated questions to Lord Shiva and there were very confident of their victory as they underestimated Lord Shiva.
But Shiva, who is the Lord of all the supreme knowledge, answered knee jerk to each and every question . The Sages accept their defeat gracefully and asked for forgiveness. Since then Artharva Ved was added to the list of Vedas , making the total four.
The Sages went to their brother Prajapati Daksha , father in law of Lord Shiva ( Sati ) who upset with him. He was furious with his four brothers, and cursed them to be naïve children of the age 5. The four Kumaras had learnt the Vedas at the age of four and they were still very wise. Narada says though they may appear as five-year old children, they are the great ancestors of the world.
The youngest daughter of Daksha Prajapati was Sati ( Dakshayani ) who was deeply in love with Shiva wanted to marry him . Daksha forbade it, but she disobeyed him finding in Shiva an ideal loving husband. Daksha had loathed Shiva intensely, calling him roaming ascetic.
Sanat Kumaras then taught the Puranas to Narada. Narada transmitted it to Krishna Dwaipayana who in turn scripted them in monumental epic documents of 18 Puranas. The Vishnu Purana is recorded in two parts, the Vishnu Purana and Naradiya Purana. The teachings of Sankaka of the Kumara brothers are contained in the Naradiya Purana which is also divivided in two parts.
One day the 4 Kumaras visited Vaikuntha, the abode of Vishnu, to see him.
Upon reaching the outskirts of Vaikuntha, the four Kumaras felt unprecedented transcendental joy. They skipped and hopped and sang their way past the first six gates.
At the seventh gate stood two of Vishnu’s most loyal and loving gatekeepers Jaya and Vijaya. The two watchmen at the seventh gate were firm limbed , had similar bodily features and carried huge maces.
The four Kumaras had opened doors everywhere in life without any conception of "ours" and "theirs", as per the spirit of the Vedas. It did NOT matter who arranged the words in the Vedas , and nobody tried to patent knowledge like the white Christian man.
Several people came daily to visit Lord Vishnu at Vaikunta and it was Jaya's and Vijaya's job to allow every person who had grievance to see the Lord. They knew that Lord Vishnu's time was precious and could not be wasted. The doorkeepers took their job very seriously.
.jpg)
As they were standing guard, the two of them saw four naked children running in unbridled glee towards Vaikunta. Jaya and Vijaya had never seen such a thing before— 4 naked children running towards the gate
'Open up!' The youngest among them said. 'We want to see the Lord.'
Jaya sagely shook his head. 'Children... please do not disturb the Lord. He is very busy...Why don't you go and play something else...'
'Ch..children... you think we are CHILDREN...' another child spluttered angrily.
Vijaya suddenly had the gut feelin’ that probably these were just some sage in the guise of children. But he stuck to his guns.
He said politely “'The Lord is resting. Please come some time later...”
This time Vijaya noticed the adult like ego expressions in the face of the children.
The one who looked the eldest looked at him venomously, 'Do you even know who we are? I am Sanaka. That is Sanandana.' He said pointing at the one in the middle, who was quietly standing, not talking till now. 'And these two are Sanatana and Sanatkumara...We are...'
Jaya suddenly realised who these four children were and they were not children. He felt scared, very scared. 'You are the four Kumaras. You are the sons of Lord Brahma...' He said faintly kneeling before the four children.
Vijaya also knelt before the four children. 'We apologise for our shabby behaviour...'
However the four were far from relenting. Sananda spoke for the first time. ' The Lord is always available for us. You told a lie that he is sleeping “
Sanatkumar spoke, ' For this we curse you... Jaya and Vijaya. You are so full of yourselves . You think vainly that just because you are gate keepers , you are god “
Jaya and Vijaya looked terrified and they requested “'Please do not curse us..”
Meanwhile inside Vaikunta, Lord Vishnu heard the commotion , rather he knew this would happen as ordained. He rushed out to the gate and saw his dear doorkeepers kneeling at the feet of the four Kumaras shaking in fear .
Lord Vishnu heard Sanatkumar complete his curse. '...You will no longer be gods. You will be born on earth as ordinary humans and live like ordinary people...'
Jaya and Vijaya knelt there stunned , unable to figure out what next. Suddenly they saw Vishnu and started explaining.
Lord Vishnu held up his hand and silenced them, 'I know.. no explanations are necessary...'
The four sages then bowed to Lord Vishnu. Sananda said angrily, 'Lord, your doorkeepers prevented us from seeing you...your devotees...'
Lord Vishnu turned his head and looked at his loyal doorkeepers briefly, 'Sages, they did not do anything out of spite . They just wanted to give me time to rest, and thought that you are naughty children, in improper attire . Please forgive them...'
The sages however looked far from forgiving. They looked at the doorkeepers and Sanatana said again, 'No.. no matter what the reason, they refused to let a devotee see the Lord. I cannot forgive that.. Their curse stands...'
So saying the four sages bowed once more to Lord Vishnu and walked away without looking back.
Lord Vishnu looked at the four sages and then turned to Jaya and Vijaya who were sobbing in great grief.
Vijaya continued as tears fell from his eyes, '..we cannot bear being separated from you...please Lord do something...'
Lord Vishnu was touched...He felt proud of them. He said 'I cannot take back the curse, but I can give you a clear choice...' ( Vishnu knew what the answer would be )
He said 'Either you can take seven births on earth as my devotees.....or take three births as my enemies...'
Jaya and Vijaya both looked at each other . Seven births was too long .
As one they said, 'We will be born three times as your enemy and come back to you my Lord...'
Lord Vishnu laughed, “ I will incarnate on the earth to kill you, all the three times, but you will attain moksha”
He finished and gugged Jaya and Vijaya, touched by their love and devotion.
It was after this that Jaya and Vijaya were first born as Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakasipu.
In the first life they were born as Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha to Diti ( daughter of Daksha Prajapathi ) and sage Kashyapa. Vishnu as Varaha the boar killed Hiranyaksha ( Jaya ). Vishnu took another avatar as Narasimha the lion man to kill Hiranyakashipu ( Vijaya ).
In their second life Jaya and Vijaya were born as Ravana and Kumbhakarna . This duo was killed by Vishnu as Lord Rama .
In their third life Jaya and Vijaya were born as Dantavakra and Shishupala. It must be noted that the strengths of Jaya and Vijaya gradually declined with each subsequent birth. This duo was killed by Lord Krishna.
Kashyap, was a great sage. He had four wives, Diti, Aditi, Vinita, and Kudroo.
Jaya and Vijaya were born in Diti’s womb. The golden-eyed Hiranyaksha ( Jaya ) was the elder son of Diti and Kasyapa.
Hiranyakasipu ( Vijaya ) who was killed by Narasimha, was the younger son of Diti and Kasyapa. Both of them were called Daityas. The Daityas are thus sons of Kashyapa Prajapati and step brothers of the Adityas.
Since Aditi and Diti are sisters and daughters of Daksha Prajapati, they are also first cousins besides being step brothers. They are genetically of the same stock. As children of Kasyapa and Diti they are also genetically brahmans. .
Diti gave birth to the demons, and from Aditi were born the Devatas, or gods.
Now hear out the white Christian man’s spin injected .
Once at sunset, Kashyapa, the son of Marichi, was offering oblations to Lord Vishnu into the sacrificial fire. At this time, his wife, Diti, got terribly horny . Throwing all maryada and decorum into the fire, the beautiful Diti frankly begged her husband, "O learned one, Cupid is forcibly distressing me with his arrows, just as an elephant troubles a banana tree.”
Kashyapa tried to pacify Diti as he was in the middle of homam. "My dear Diti, I only request you to wait for a few minutes so that I may not become subject to criticism”.
Diti was so much overcome by lust that she caught hold of Kashyapa's clothes just like a shameless prostitute. Kashyapa had no choice but to follow Diti to a secluded place for sexual intercourse.
After finishing the forbidden act, Kashyapa purified himself by bathing and once again sat down to chant the Gayatri mantra.
Meanwhile, after having gratified her lust, Diti came to her senses. With her head lowered in shame, she approached her husband and said, "My dear brahmana, please insure that my embryo is not killed by Lord Shiva, because of the great offense that I have committed against him."
Diti then prayed for Lord Shiva's mercy in a very clever manner: "Let me offer my obeisance unto the angry Lord Shiva. He is so great that he can immediately destroy my embryo, but at the same time he is so merciful and forgiving. Lord Shiva is known as the lord of all women, who are excused even by uncivilized hunters, and therefore I beg him to spare me from his wrath."
As Diti stood before him, trembling due to fear of his anger, Kashyapa said, "Because of your polluted mind, the improper time, your disobedience, and your neglect of the demigods, your conception will produce two abominable sons who will create havoc within the world by killing innocent persons, torturing women, and enraging the great souls. As a result, the Supreme Lord will incarnate to kill them, just as Indra smashes mountains with his thunderbolt."
Diti replied, "O my husband, it is a great relief for me to know that my sons will be killed by the all-merciful Supreme Lord, rather than the wrath of the brahmanas”
Kashyapa then informed Diti, "Due to your repentance and firm faith in the Supreme Lord, as well as your adoration for Lord Shiva and myself, one of your grandsons will be a greatly exalted devotee whose fame will rival that of the Lord Himself. Because of his great devotion for the Supreme Personality of Godhead, others will follow in his footsteps, and because of his having satisfied the Supreme Lord, everyone will become pleased with him. As a first-class devotee, your grandson will be able to see the Supreme Lord, within and without; he will be a reservoir of all good qualities; and he will feel very pained to see the suffering of the conditioned souls in this material world."
After hearing about the glories of her future grandson Prahlada, Diti became very pleased.
And thus Hiranya Kashyapa - Hiranyaksha entered in to the womb of Diti at an inauspicious asura samaya acquiring rakshasa gunas .
Kashyapa named the first-born, Hiranyaksha ( Jaya ) and the one who was conceived first Hiranyakashipu ( Vijaya ).
In the Varaka avatar , Vishnu as the boar carried the Earth out of the ocean between his tusks and restored it to its place in the universe and later killed Hinranyaksha ( Jaya ) .
This is an allegory.
Hiranyaksha had a boon that no animal or man could kill him. So Vishnu came as a boar, which was NOT in the animal list.
It is amazing that even in antiquity Indians knew that the pig is close to humans. This is the reason why Hindus do NOT eat pigs.
Consider this-
Boars, as in male pigs, have tusks. . Human genetics were mixed with those of the wild boar to create the domesticated pig. Because the domesticated pig is a combination of human and animal genetics, eating it is a form of cannibalism. Jews and Muslims followed this concept.
This is also why the pig is considered to be the most intelligent animal on Earth, why pig skin can be grafted directly onto humans in burn cases, and why pig heart valves can be used in humans with little difficulty. Cancer drugs and other chemicals are often tested on pigs before humans.
The domesticated pig frequency, or group mind, is the perfect vehicle for animal species to enter before entering human form on their evolutionary progression. In many respects, pigs can be considered a form of humanity . The DNA of a pig is similar to that of a human being. Human DNA when injected into pig cells become embryos.
People with insulin-dependent diabetes usually inject themselves with pig insulin. This is why viruses who latch on as parasites find it easy to get transferred to human cells. Viruses cannot survive on their own, I hope you know that.
A pig is biologically similar to a human being and hence used by zoology students for dissection. Even the heart is similar where the left side pumps blood to the body while the right side pumps blood to the lungs. Pig fetus in placenta receives nourishment from the via the umbilical cord. They can have dreams.
Pigs are very intelligent and respond to their names and commands. Their oinks, snorts, squeals and grunts as a response can be interpreted. They have emotions and hence can get highly stressed , burnt out and depressed.
The DNA of pigs is actually 99% identical with humans. It's amazing how little difference in DNA produces an entirely different species! Pigs are genetically very close to humans.
The flesh of swine is so similar to our own that if you eat under cooked pig you get all kinds of parasites that live equally as well in our own flesh/brains.
Pigs are the 3rd most intelligent animal after apes and dolphins.

Pigs can see in semi colour unlike other mammals who see in black and white. They are compassionate creatures. They have a good sense of direction , smell and don’t get lost easily. Pigs love music and is computer savvy.
A pig turns into a filthy creature only if they are NOT cared for well , and had to survive in adverse circumstances—just like humans..
If the pig organs can resist rejection after a transplant, we humans with 2 strand DNA ( 97% junk ) can use pig parts ( like heart transplant )
The Muslims do NOT pray at Babri Masjid in Ayodhya after it was observed that the boar ( male pig ) was sculpted on the walls , which was a Sri Ram temple before.

The Adi Varaha temple at Mathura had a Varaha idol . Kapila Muni made this Vigraha by his mind. Sage Kapila gave this Vigraha to Indra and Indra worshiped this Vigraha in his kingdom.
When Ravana ( 2nd birth of Jaya ) took over Indra’s kingdom, he took this Adi Varaha Vigraha to his capital, in Lanka.
When Vishnu avatar Sri Rama killed Ravana, Ravana’s brother, Vibhisana became the king of Lanka. Vibhisana offered everything to Rama. Rama said he did not want anything, except the Varaha Vigraha that was taken from Amaravati.
Rama carried the Adi Varaha Vigraha back to Ayodhya and worshipped it there for 110 years, at the Babri Masjid spot of Ayodhya temple. Later this temple was converted to a Sri Rama temple.
When Hinranyaksha went in search for Varaha boar after getting information from Sage Narada, Vishnu as the boar was busy placing planet earth in a new orbit in the sea of akasha ( zero point field or ether ) with a new tilt of the axis of 23.4 degrees.
It is NO wonder that the royal seal of the Kings of Ujjain was Varaha the boar, till Emperor Vikramaditya changed it to Swastika in 7000 BC.
Why Ujjain? Pray?
Ujjain is situated on Latitude 23.4 degrees North, and that is the northern most ascent of the sun ( tropic of cancer ). Maharishi Varahamihira ( Mihira Muni ) the great mathematician and astronomer taught in Ujjain Univeristy in 2660 BC , and this was the most ancient university of this planet.
At Ujjayini university Lord Krishna ( Vishnu’s avatar to kill Jaya/ Vijaya in their last birth on earth ) , Balram and Sudama were initiated into the learning of Vedas and Vedanta in 4100 BC.
Emperor Vikramaditya who ruled at Ujjain on the banks of the mighty Shirpa river , has been kicked forward in time by 9000 years by the white christian invader.
The Mahakaleshwar Temple for the Swayambu jyorthirlinga ( born by itself )is one of the oldest tempes in india. This lingam is smeared with hot ashes from the burning ghats to extract the DNA.
The Harasiddhi temple has one of the oldest Sri Yantras, which contains the theory of everything . According to Shiva-purana, when Lord Shiva carried away the burning body of his wife Sati from the sacrificial fire of Daksha-prajapati, her elbow fell on this spot.
Emperor Vikramaditya's elder brother , who abdicated the throne due to the infidelity of his beloved wife Pingala , meditated in the Bhatruhari caves -- which is named after him.
The Kumbh Mela religious festival is held here every twelve years.
Mythological sanctity of the invisible and underground river Saraswati, associated with the story of Triveni-sangam, is attributed to Ujjayini.
As mentioned in the Mahabharata epic 4000 BC, Ujjayini was the capital of the Avanti Kingdom, According to legend, the river Kshipra that flows across Ujjain is regarded to have originated due to the churning of the gods and goddesses.
Mihira Muni was accurate in his astrological predictions and predicted that the King's 18 year old son would be killed by a Varaha or a wild boar. He had also predicted the time as 5 pm in the evening. The young prince was disfigured by the iron hooves of the artificial metal boar, the Royal Emblem attached to the flag staff. The King honored and gave him the title Varahamihira for his accuracy in astrology.
The tilt of the earth's axis set by Varaha causes the 4 seasons, and life on this planet.
Dwaita Hindusim is about 2 extreme opposites with a mediated who facilitates --as a preserver.
tropic of cancer/ tropic of capricon
summer/ winter
freezing/ melting
clockwise vortex/ counterclockwise vortex
absorption/ secretion
contraction/ relaxation
evaporation/ condensation
Not many people are aware that earth is in full bloom with life due to our 4 seasons. For example: India is totally dependant on monsoons to prevent famine.
We must know that due to the tilt of the arth, the sun travels continuously from tropic of cancer 23.5 deg N ( 21th June ) to tropic of capricon 23.5 deg S ( 21st Dec ) causing the seasons .
“ After planing the earth, He adorned it with mountains and then divided it into seven continents” - Vishnu Purana 1.4.45-50
One of the famous varaha temples is at Tiruvadantai, 27 miles from Chennai towards south on the way to Mahabalipuram.
The main deity is 9 ft tall and is called "Sri Lakshmi Adi Varaha". The Lord holds a conch in his upraised right hand and the disc in his left. The Goddess is seated over the left thigh of Lord Vishnu in his Varaha aspect, His left hand encircling Her waist, while Her feet are held in His lower right hand palm. Only the right leg of Varahaswami is touching the floor. The deity is decorated with a garland formed of 108 saligrams around the neck.
Why 108?
Why is that Lord Shiva’s rudraksha mala has 108 beads, which has been copied by Jews, Buddhists , Christians and Muslims ?
What is the catch?
Varaha placed the Earth and Moon at a DIVINE constant of 108, with respect to the sun.
antar-maharnava upagatam adi-daityam
tam damstrayadrim iva vajra-dharo dadara
"The unlimitedly powerful Lord assumed the form of a boar for the rescue of the earth and pierced the first demon Hiranyaksa with His tusks." - (S.Baghawatam. 2.7.1)
See the divine magic.
We on earth can see only one side of the moon, though both moon and earth rotate.—this requires some divine fixing , right?
During full solar eclipse we just get to see the fringe of the corona of the sun—this again requires some fixing right?
For the shadow cast by the Earth stretches back 108 times the diameter of the Earth and the sun is 108 times the earth's diameter.
For the shadow cast by the Earth stretches back 108 times the diameter of the Earth and the sun is 108 times the earth's diameter.
The average distance of the Moon from the Earth is 108 times the diameter of the Moon.
There was NO laser beam, when the Maharishis with 12 strand DNA wrote all this in our Vedas in 5000 BC.
It was necessary to fix the moon too, as-
QUOTE – Solar and lunar eclipses occurred repeatedly, and from the mountain caves came sounds like the rattling of chariots. She-jackals vomited fire while crying out ominously, and asses ran here and there in herds, striking the earth with their hard hooves and braying loudly. Being frightened by the braying asses, birds flew shrieking from their nests, and cows passed stool and urine due to fear. Indeed, the terrified cows yielded blood instead of milk, and the clouds rained sour pus instead of water. The deities in the temples shed tears, and trees fell down even though there were no gusts of wind. Due to the covering of clouds, all became shrouded in darkness. The ocean became highly agitated .UNQUOTE . -- Puranas 5000 BC
Mantras are chanted 108 times. This is a Hindu concept, which has been lifted by all other religions.
Varaha swims in the the ocean of ether with the earth in his tusks and places her gently above it in her original position, as the gods and the sages sing Varaha's praises in 108 verses.
The white Christian man had ridiculed Indians in their encyclopedias and science books that we Indians think that earth is the back of a tortoise ( based on Lord Vishnu’s second Tortoise Kurma avatar ).
Here are a couple in the eye for these cheats, who stole ancient Vedic ideas and patented it in their names. Both Plato and Pythagoras had studied in India.

In Karnataka, a zoomorphic image of Varaha is found in a carving on a pillar in Aihole, which is interpreted as the Vijayanagara empire ( Hampi ) emblem. Probably this is the reason why Hampi suffered at the hands of the Muslim invaders.

Before the Mohuls invaded India , the Muslims ( via Kerala ) were comfortable with Varaha worship. The invaders and their Sufi stooges stopped Varaha worship and destroyed these temples. The boar and its relative the pig started being seen as polluting since the 12th century, due to Muslim invader’s destructive influence on India. Koran considers the pig and its meat unclean.
However converted Muslims still believe that Varaha symbolizes the resurrection of the earth from a pralaya (dissolution of the universe) and the establishment of a new kalpa (aeon).
An example is the Bhuvarahaswami Temple in Srimushnam town, to the 35 Km northeast of Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu. This temple is venerated by Hindus and Muslims alike. Both Hindu and Muslim communities take the utsava murti in procession in the annual temple festival in the Tamil month of Masi (February–March). The deity is credited with many miracles and called Varaha saheb by Muslims.
Muslims offer prasadams to the Lord Yagya Varaha and they take back the flower of the Lord and offer it to Allah. The Muslim devotees are said to thank Allah for having brought Varaha Swamy to their place The chariot has a Muslim flag, a symbol of the Hindu- Muslim unity .
Varaha shrines are included in Divya Desams (a list of 108 abodes of Vishnu).
Let me get back to lore –
Asura Hiranyaksha was troubling the earth and its denizens. He practises tapas ( severe austerities) and is blessed by Brahma with a boon that makes him indestructible by any animal or human. He and his brother Hiranyakashipu torment the inhabitants of earth as well as the gods and engage in war with the latter. The gods were scared of Hiranyaksha . Some gods fought him and were promptly defeated.
Angered by this Hiranyaksha decided that he had to make the Gods weak. He realised that though the gods lived in the heavens, the source of their power of the earth. If he could made sure none of the Gods can access the earth, they would become weak .
Hiranyaksha used powerful weapons and soon the earth shook so badly that she slipped from her axis. The earth gives a loud cry of distress.
The great sages on the earth also realised that if something was not done fast, Prithvi maa would be lost with total loss of life . They performed a great yagna please Lord Vishnu.
A tiny white boar, even smaller than the size of his thumb, appeared out one of Brahma’s nostrils. The boar popped out and continued outgrowing, until it has assumed a gigantic structure. This boar was Lord Vishnu in the Varaha avatar, to kill asura Hiranyaksha as prophesied.
With a thundering roar, the Boar stormed through the clouds and zealously plunged into the ocean of ether. After a frantic search, the Varaha Avatar discovered Bhoomadevi , stuck in an odd orbit with increased tilt causing it to rotate very fast, shortening the day..
He picked up Bhoomadevi on his snout and was busy putting her in the proper orbit and tilt.
Hiranyaksha, tries to obstructs his work and challenges him to a duel. Lord Vishnu smiled and realised that Jaya's first punishment was about to end...
Once Varaha placed the earth in the proper place , Prithvi maa said a silent thank you . The boar now furious turned to face Hiranyaksha . Hiranyaksha was momentarily was terrified.
'You wanted to fight me... I was not free at that time. Now I am all yours. Let us who among the two of us is stronger...' The boar said.
The boar and Hiranyaksha fought each other. But this time Hiranyaksha had met his match. No matter what he did, the boar had an answer for it. The boar fought brutally and cleverly managing to weave inside and outside the defences of Hiranyaksha. Hiranyaksha was tiring fast. Try as he might, Hiranyaksha was not able to find any weaknesses in the attack of the boar.
He fought and knew that something was amiss and that he could not defeat the boar. Suddenly he realized that the boar was indeed his beloved lord Narayana .
He uttered in his last breath “ Victory to Keshava, the lord of Universe,who assumed the form of a boar “
Now how can the story go without the white Christian man putting his own vulgar spin in his translations.
So here goes the spin-
“ Having accomplished his missions, Vishnu decided to spend some time in this new and playful form. Alas, he underestimated the power of the brute consciousness in reasserting itself and he came to identify himself with the Boar. He met a beautiful sow somewhere and they set up house had sexual intercourse and had many piglets. Lord Shiva, seeing the appalling degradation of the great Vishnu, attacked the boar and flayed its pelt - upon which the fully conscious and awakened Vishnu rose up in his remembered glory”
So now Shiva worshippers can cock a snook at Vishnu worshippers – see our Lord saved your Lord from filth .
TEE HEEEEE
In the modern era, Jaya and Vijaya are free from their curse, and they can be seen as gatekeepers in Vishnu temples and temples affiliated with Vaishnavism. Statues of Jaya-Vijaya stand in the temple of Venkateswara in Tirumala, the temple of Jagannath in Puri, and the temple of Ranganatha in Srirangam.
At the famous Tirupati Balaji temple there is a convention that the full fruits of pilgrimage can be gained only after visiting the small shrine dedicated to Varaha found over there.
Varaha features in the Rig Veda. Varaha is glorified in virtually all of the major Puranas.
“ For the benefit of all, I shall bring back to her former place the earth, who has the girdle of the oceans, whose limbs are overrun by all kinds of creatures and who has disappeared. I shall kill the naughty Hiranyaksha, an offspring of Diti.” - (Mahabharata 12.236.71-73) 4000 BC
‘ The supreme enjoyer of all sacrifices accepted the incarnation of a boar for the welfare of the earth. He lifted the earth from the nether regions of the universe “-- (Srimad Bhagavatam 1.3.7)
After killing the demon Hiranyakasipu, Lord Vishnu rested at Vishrama-ghat in Mathura. Mathura, 48 km MW of Agra birth place of lord Krishna is located on the western bank of river Yamuna.
Grace and peace!
