Excerpts from Bhavanâ??s journal dt.15 Jan 2006- Article â??Life beyond 
incarnationâ?? by Parur S Ganesan.

The author has quoted the two slokas â??yada yada hi dharmasyaâ?? 
and â??Paritranaya sadhunamâ?? and he writes, â??While the mission  
statement in the former sloka is gentle and passive the same in the 
latter was aggressive, even smacking violence. 
The purpose of the article seems to be that even an incarnation 
cannot escape the result of His karma.
He further says â?? the first three  incarnations were in line with the 
first objective. Ithowever turned out to be terribly violent in 
Narasimha, crafty in Vamana, violent again in the two Ramas and 
Krishna.â??
â?? The Lord as Narasimha not only indulged in extreme violence of 
tearing off  the chest and intestines of Hiranyakasipu but in a fit 
of anger, lost His senses and evenrank His blood and Swallowed his 
raw flesh before  trembling Prahlada and others.â??
 About Vamana he writes,â?? Vamana tricked Emperor Mahabali by 
exploiting the latterâ??s munificence.â??

About Krishna, â?? Krishna did indulge in few annihilations but there 
was no horror story except the killing of Kamsa . This is however 
overlooked as a juvenile act.  In the Bhagavatgita, however, he 
advocated violence.

About Rama, â??Skippiong the optionof bargaining peace he opted for war 
and killed Ravana.â?? He futher justifies the abduction of Sita as 
retaliation of the maiming of Surpanakha..â??Except keeping Sita as 
captive Ravana never went beyond rajaneethi. Yet Ramaindulged in 
arson,mass destruction and killing of innocent citizens of Lanka.â??

Even a superficial reader of Ramayana and Bhagavata can  see the 
absurdities and distortions of facts in this article . Though every 
one of the statements made in the article can be refuted I think it 
is a sheer waste of time to indulge in denying what is obviously an 
untruth. However I have voiced my protest to the editor and have sent 
my article on the significance of Dasavatara
