It is not shocking to note such blatant allegations against the Lord Himself in
these magazines. These so called secular magazines in the name of research
articles write all sorts of things against basic tenets of vEdhic cannotations.
However, let us discuss a few of the points from AzvAr-angle

Subject: [Oppiliappan] Protest to Article in Bhavan's journal
Excerpts from Bhavanâ?Ts journal dt.15 Jan 2006- Article â?~Life beyond
incarnationâ?T by Parur S Ganesan.
The author has quoted the two slokas â?~yada yada hi dharmasyaâ?T
and â?~Paritranaya sadhunamâ?T and he writes, â?~While the mission
statement in the former sloka is gentle and passive the same in the
latter was aggressive, even smacking violence.
The purpose of the article seems to be that even an incarnation
cannot escape the result of His karma.
He further says â?~ the first three incarnations were in line with the
first objective. Ithowever turned out to be terribly violent in
Narasimha, crafty in Vamana, violent again in the two Ramas and
Krishna.â?T
â?~ The Lord as Narasimha not only indulged in extreme violence of
tearing off the chest and intestines of Hiranyakasipu but in a fit
of anger, lost His senses and evenrank His blood and Swallowed his
raw flesh before trembling Prahlada and others.â?T
About Vamana he writes,â?T Vamana tricked Emperor Mahabali by
exploiting the latterâ?Ts munificence.â?T
About Krishna, â?~ Krishna did indulge in few annihilations but there
was no horror story except the killing of Kamsa . This is however
overlooked as a juvenile act. In the Bhagavatgita, however, he
advocated violence.
About Rama, â?~Skippiong the optionof bargaining peace he opted for war
and killed Ravana.â?T He futher justifies the abduction of Sita as
retaliation of the maiming of Surpanakha..â?TExcept keeping Sita as
captive Ravana never went beyond rajaneethi. Yet Ramaindulged in
arson,mass destruction and killing of innocent citizens of Lanka.â?T
Even a superficial reader of Ramayana and Bhagavata can see the
absurdities and distortions of facts in this article . Though every
one of the statements made in the article can be refuted I think it
is a sheer waste of time to indulge in denying what is obviously an
untruth. However I have voiced my protest to the editor and have sent
my article on the significance of Dasavatara
