Sree Suka answers Pareekshithu questions
Pareekshiththu heard about Brahmas preachings to Narada. Still he had some doubts. He wanted to clarify them. So,he questioned Sree Suka maharshi about his doubts.Hey great sage!I have learnt that Lord Krishna would give shelter to those who praise Hi,,Hear when others praise the God.Once a person seeks the shelter at His feet , he would undergo a vast happiness and contentment.He never leave his pious feet.Hey sage!how could a clear soul come in contact with bhoothaas?How could planets be formed from organs of Viraat purusha?Which lokas would people reach after death,and how their acts in this world influence their journey?Great Easwara is witness to all the karmas conevend .Then how can he be away from and devoid of these karmas?
To all the above questions of Pareekshiththu,Suka maharshi started replying him.
Hey king!what Brahma told Narada is just a concise form of Bhagavatham.It is equivalent to Vedaas.Earlier.durinh Brahma kalpam,Parameswara Himself told this to Brahma.I will tell that to you.You have asked me how this soul is connected with the body.It is all due to illusiory effect of God.Slowly this soul ,connected with body vrosses childhood,teenage,youth and adulyhood.He starts feeling proud that myself and every thing is mine. This is called Aham and build love towards what is his.He is bound by all the material facts of life.Then how can such a person gain salvation?He can reach it if once he starts realising Brahma swaroopam,which is away from nature and physical bonding.You are asking me how can a man reach salvation when God is also like him.Man is uneducated.so,he does what is supposed to do according to his cravings.But God creates his body with his unlimited capacity.He uses it to give salvation to people.Brahma did great penance and could see His jnaanaananda swaroopam.So,bhakthi marg paves way for mortals to reach salvation.

bhagavadbhakthi
Brahma is telling Narada ,still like this.Hey Narada!even I am unable to understand Him completely.How can it be possible for Sanaka sanandulu to understand him?Aadiseshudu is engrossed all the time in praying Sreemannaaraayana.He would be praising him through all his thousand mouths.Even he is incapable of assessing Naaraayana.Then how can ordinary mortals know and learn about Him?Who ever concentrate on Him,pray him and serve HIM,ALONE IS BLESSED BY THE loRD.They only can understand Him fully.So,think of Him all the time and establish Him in your thoughts and mind.Then you would be devoid of delusion and illusion.Those disciples would reach culmination of happiness. Sorrow would never touch them.They never do wrong things.He is all pervading and omniscient.At the end of universe,even when every thing is destroyed,He alone is there as Nirvikaara.
Kaaranakaarya hethuvagu kanjadalaakshuni kante nanyule
Vvaarunu leru thandri!bhagavanthunananthuni viswabhaavano
Daaruni sadgunaavalu ludaaththa mathim goniyaada kundinam
Jeravu chiththamul prakruthi chendani nirgunamaina brahmamun//
Hey son!Naarada!this Bhaagavatha puraanam is very auspicious and sacred.It has inculcated all the four Vedas in it.God Himself has written it to promote salvation to all.It is like kalpa vruksham,.I will tell this story to you.You propagate this in this world extensively.Among all the living things, mankind is the prestigeous one.Instead of wasting their lives in petty and silly things,it is better for men to serve God and reach salvation.you can not attain salvation by doing fasting,prayers,yajnaas,yaagaas,sandhya,studying vedas,giving donations.You can attain salvation by praying God with utmost sincerty.You should chant his greatness all the time.You have to listen when others do it.You have to think of them in your mind all the time.

remaining incarnations of God
Demon kings developed and increased their armies. They were not righteous. They harassed and tormented good people.Earth,Bhoodevi went to Parameswara and expressed her unhappiness over what was happening on Earth.Parameswara obliged her.He wanted to be born on this Earth and kill bad demons and make the earth livable for good people.He took one dark hair and one fair hair and made them to be born as Balarama and Krishna on Bhooloka.Sree Krishna is complete embodiment of God ie Parameswara.No one can fully and satisfactorily explain Him.From birth to his last breath,He did many wonders.Just few days after His birth,He killed POOTHANA,A SHE DEMON,WHO CAME TO KILL Him.He sucked her life through poisoned milk ,which she wanted to breast feed Him.When He was three months old,He kicked and killed Sakataasura ,who came to kill Him.He passed through two big trees and felled them and by His act he relieved two Yakshas from their curse.He showed His Mother,Ysoda ,the entire universe in His mouth.He killed a BIG POISONOUS SNAKE WHICH WAS IN kALINDI LAKE AND poisoned the waters.It was killing all the people and cattle which came to drink the water by poisoning the water.He brought to life all the cow boys and cattle,who drank the poisoned waters and died.He danced on his various heads and curtailed its strength and sent it away to distant places where it can not harm the people and cattle.He gulped the fire of the forest ,which was engulfing the villagers.Indra was angry once and rained so heavily that the village was about to be flooded . Then he lifted Govardhana giri and saved the entire village,both villagers and cattle.He was seven years old at that time.He killed Vyomaasura and saved cow boys.He saved Nanda from sinking in Yamuna river.He showed Vaikuntam to residents of Gokulam.He played with Gopikas in Brundavanam and mesmerised them with his flute.He killed Sankha choodudu,gandharva ,who came to kidnap Gopikas.
He killed many demons. Among them,important ones are Pralambudu,Dhenukudu,Bakudu,Kesinee,Arishta Chaanoorulu,an elephant named Kuvalaapeedamu,Kamsa kaalayavanulu,Narakaasura panchajanulu,Poundrakudu,Saaluvulu, Dveepakudu,Mushtikudu,Sambarulu,Sisupaaludu,Palva dantha vakthrulu,and Rukmi.
Vedavyaasaavathaaramu...
Common man can not understand God easily.He has temptations and as aresult his life will be in trouble. Vedas ,which are written by God will not be accessible to him.So,to help common man,he was born to Paraasara maharshi.He divided Vedas into simplified branches and became famous as Veda vyaasa maharshi.
Buddhaavathaaramu...People who are lusty,arrogant,tell lies,do not follow good priciples and who have demon like attitude nad harass good people are increasing day by day. To control their bad habits and mentality,He was born as Buddha.
Kalki avathaaramu...in Kaliyugam,Brahmins do not behave properly in righteous manner.They do not pray God. They do not perform yajnas and Yaagaas.We can not hear Vashat,Swaahaa,and swadhaa...pious words,from their mouths.They are not truthful.They lose belief in God.cheap people,who do not have worth,rule the countries.At that time, Bhagavaan will be born as Kalki and sees that righteousness prevails in this world and bad is removed.
Naaradaa!I have told only few of His incarnations. To tell the truth,every living organism is its incarnation.He is born as Chathurmukhudu (me),thapassu,rishis,nine prajaapathulu,and start creation.Dharmamu,Vishnuvu,yajnas,manuvulu,indra and deities,kings on this earth...in these forms he would be protecting nad ruling people.Adharmamu,Rudrudu,snakes,demons,bad people,..in these forms..he would be destroying and putting end to life.
Hey son!I,my self am unable to understand his powers completely.How can others and mortals understand Him fully?
