The Boar Incarnation, Varaha Avatar!

Verse 1.3.7: This chapter details Krishna and His incarnations. We will come to know about the different types of incarnations. Gunaavatars, shyaktavatars etc. Today we are reading about the boar incarnation. The Earth stays in the balance because of gravitational force. Hiranyaksa, the demon takes all the gold away. Because of this, Earth becomes light, and because of that it fell down away from its orbit into the garbodhka ocean.

Today, we are taking off so much oil from Mother Earth. She needs it for lubrication. It is said that this extraction of too much oil is also like Hiranyaksa taking the gold away. We are in this process, putting Mother Earth is jeopardy again, of losing her balance in this gravitational field. Similarly, cell phones, although very inconspicuous, their electro-magnetic signals make the bees loose their way back to home and hence so many of them die. This is today's problems.

When earth so fell down into the lower planets, into Pluto's region of filthy matter, the Supreme Lord took the form of the boar. So why this form. Since the garbhodaka ocean has to be searched and you get wet in this process, and the boar is best in taking something out of the filthy matter, the Supreme Lord Himself descended in the form of a boar to bring Earth back to its orbit, and thus astonished the demons.
