sir,

i accept all the views expressed.iam also convinced that narayana is 
the parabrahmam and the supreme god. but in that case there is no 
need for krishna, who is an avatar of vishnu to say that ' IAM 
VISHNU' AMONG ADITYAS. he could have said i am narayana. also he says 
to arjuna that he is showing him the vishvaroopam because of his 
yogic power and not because he is an avatar of vishnu. in the same 
geeta krishna says the yoghis can see him in the real form.when he 
spoke to arjuna in geeta, krishna spoke as narayana the parabrahma 
and not as vishnu.there were many avatars of vishnu. in that 
ramavatar is quite facinating because in that rama behaves like any 
other human being.he did not behave like an avatar.he was an ideal 
and noble king who ruled the kingdom.if rama was narayana then where 
is the requirement of he having to get the help of other devatas in 
his fight against ravana.
by all this my point of arguement is narayana is the parabrahmam and 
is represented by the 'ohm'. all other devatas including vishnu are 
anyadevatas who derive their power from ohm. that is why we call 
narayana as om namo narayana. no one calls vishnu as om vishnu.

i dont know if iam right or wrong please parden me.

balaji
