Personal Guidance
In this manvantara, the Lord appeared as Vāmana — the youngest of the Ādityas, son of Kaśyapa and Aditi. The Lord enters time and lineage on dharma's schedule. He chose a specific mother, father, and form. The local matters to Him.
Reflection Questions
  • Do I imagine the Lord above local detail, or do I see how He chose specific parents and form?
  • What does my own 'parents and form' suggest about a specific role the Lord intends?
