SB 2.7.17 (M Prji):
* Appearance of Lord Vamandeva is discussed here
* Bali Maharaj, is also the personification of atma nivedanam
* He is none other than the grandson of Prahlada Maharaj
* As a King, he conquered all the kingdoms and ruled everything
* Since he was pleasing the brahamanas, he acquired a lot of strength, he was able to win over heaven too
* Then the mother of the demigods, Aditi, to save her sons, performs austerities and asks for Vishnu's help
* (Story continues further....of Vamanadev being born of Aditi and then begging from Bali Maharaj)
* Our KC is never affected by our material possessions
- if we are not KC now, then no material changes will affect it
* Bali Maharaj is always pleasing his spiritual master and hence gets all his strength
* He finally surrenders to the Lord by asking the Lord to place the third step on his head
* Another story
- Karna's charity, but not for pleasing the Lord
- no use of such charity
* Another story
- Vibhishana's saranagati to Lord Rama, a real one
- If we just say to Lord Rama: "My dear Lord, my senses are driving away from you. I am yours. I surrender unto you, please protect me". That way Lord Rama will surely save us!
