So Vishnu chose as his fourth avatar a half-man-half-lion (neither human nor animal), and killed him at dusk (neither night nor day) in a doorway (neither inside nor outside).Vishnu’s fifth avatar was a dwarf named Vamana who saved the gods from a human king who’d managed to conquer the gods’ kingdom.
Lord Rama Lineage, Family Tree till 1634 BCE. . I think it’s partly that he’s popular and respected, partly that he’s a god of success (and who doesn’t want more of that? Prithu Maharaja's son Pracheena Barhi. There’s a whole lot of crossover in symbols, myths, and depictions, and I haven’t found any solid explanation for how or why one gradually replaced the other.Also called Chandra, Soma is an ancient god of the moon and of soma, a long-lost, probably-hallucinogenic plant/drink that featured in a lot of ancient rituals, or so I hear. Confused? His wife in both manifestations was Anasuya . His name even means “sun.” A long, long time ago, he was a pretty big deal, presiding over all life, but over the past few thousand years a lot of his powers and importance transferred over to Vishnu.Saranyu is an ancient cloud goddess, mostly known for her children, including the Ashvin twins, and Yama, Yami, and Manu (not pictured).Yama is the Hindu Lord of Death, and ruler of Naraka, which is an underworld place where souls suffer temporary but severe punishment for the crappy things they did on Earth. She’s was created out of the other gods’ anger at an evil buffalo demon, and over the course of that myth she beheads him, stabs him, benoses him, stabs him again, and beheads him again, and then he finally stays dead.Once, Durga fought a demon who could create new demons whenever his blood touched the ground. He is also known as Svayambhu (self-born) or the creative aspect of Vishnu, Vāgīśa (Lord of Speech), and the creator of the four Vedas, one from each of his mouths. After that, they’re reincarnated on Earth in a better or worse form, depending on how worthy they were in their past lives.Also called Yamuna, yami is most famous for asking her twin brother Yama to marry her. For thirteen years, they live as hermits.Problem is, that’s not the end of the story. See, there’s a theory that a huge amount of European and Asian mythology, is more or less descended from the myths of a group called the Proto-Indo-Europeans, which is archaeologist-speak for “People who lived a long time ago somewhere between India and Europe.” We don’t have much direct evidence of their mythology — just some theories and reconstructions based on what cultures have in common, and when.
One famous myth from back then has him rescuing the world from a drought by killing a continent-sized snake-demon named Vritra.If you haven’t seen them yet, and you’re interested in this sort of thing, feel free to check out the other god family trees I did: And if you’d like to put some on your walls, check out the poster versions in the Oh, and I want to mention: I let this comic and its email address go for way, way too long, and I’ve got a pile of emails that I haven’t replied to yet. That comes from one of several creation stories that arose as Brahma was displaced by more recently popular gods.
One thing they all agreed on was that Shiva cut off his head to avenge his wife Sati in a really rancorous family dispute. The ultimate truth that we are souls, not bodies. Meanwhile, among the branches, faith becomes fundamentalism, as those who tenaciously cling to traditional beliefs feel compelled to violently defend their views. Then Vamana grew huge enough that three steps took him clear across the earth and the heavens, which he returned to the gods.UPDATE: Thanks to Sanjay for the following correction!“Just wanted to chime in about Vamana- he wasn’t opposed to a human king but rather to Mahabali, an asura.
