Sri Krishnaya Namah!

I would like to post some excerpts out of Srimadbhagavatha --

1.	During one of the mission to conquer the world, Ravana enters Sutala 
where Bali stays along with the Lord himself as guardian.  Ravana, does 
challenge Bali but had to face the Lord, who, with His Toe nail, throws 
Ravana out of Sutala.   One should imagine how Lord though with such a 
devastating and unimaginable strength, for the sake of this karma bhoomi 
and to fulfill his bhaktas words(Lord Brahma and Devarshi Narada) had to 
born as a human being and with so much effort kills Ravana in the end. 
  With this, we can guage His sousheelyam, soulabhyam and an innate desire 
to please bhakthas in this karmabhoomi.

2.	Lord Sankarshana, with thousand heads destroys this world during 
kalpantha.  Actually He will not do it Himself as there is no need, since 
the entire charachara srusti He only carries on his thousand heads and our 
planet is like a size of a peanut to say the least.  He does this destru  
ction through creation of numerous Rudras who will born out of His face 
having a Trishul in their hands and are three eyed.   Lord Rudra always 
meditate Lord Sankarshana seeking powers for this activity.

3.	In the order of greatness of this charachara srushti, among various 
other variables, Asuras are greater than Human being and Devas are greater 
than Asuras, Lord shiva is greater among Devas, Lord Brahma (being the 
father of Shiva) is greater than Lord Shiva, and Srimannarayana is greater 
than Lord Brahma and Brahmana is greater than the Lord himself.  These are 
the words that captured my attention.  He says that since Brahmana medidate 
upon Him and always focus his attention on His divyapadam, among other 
things like indriyanigraham, he is greater than Himself.   These are the 
words of the Lord Himself and let all of us do this with His krupa, 
irrespective of the caste/place where we dwell, so that we can all have 
permanent bliss.


Humble Pranams to all bhagavathas!!


Sukumar
