Incarnations of the supreme personality of Godhead- Krsna

1)~Kumaras~

First of all in the beginning of the creation, there were four unmarried sons of Brahma, the kumaras: who were situated in the vow of celibacy and underwent severe austerities for realization of the absolute truth. To teach us the process of Brahma realization the kumaras underwent a severe type of disciplinary action as bachelors, but before they underwent this action, they became qualified Brahman. This show us that one must first acquire this qualifications, not simply by birth but also by quality and then undergo Brahman realization.

2) ~Sukara~ (Boar)

The supreme form of the lord enjoyer of all sacrifices then accepted the form of the boar and lifted the earth from the neither regions of the universe.

3) ~Devrsi Narad~

In the millennium of the rsis, the personality of godhead accepted the third empowered form, that of Devrsi Narad. Narad a great sage among demigods, collected portions of Vedas that dealt with devotional service and which inspired non fruitful activities.


4) ~Nar Narayan~

In the fourth incarnation, the lord became Nara and Narayana, the twins sons of the wife of king dharma. Thus he took severe and exemplary penances to control senses.


5) ~Lord Kapildeva~

The fifth incarnation, lord kapildeva, is the foremost among perfected beings. He gave an exposition of creative elements and metaphysics to Asuri Brahmana. For in the course of time, this knowledge has been lost.
