Damodara Leelai: Krishna was tied to the mortar by Yashoda. In order to control senses, mind , budhi and atma we need to keep our body fit so that we can follow rituals like Ekadashi fast. Above all it is essential to control   Lord Narayana. Best way to control the Lord is by prapatti. He allowed Himself to be tied only when Yashoda surrendered.

Fruit seller: Even if we give Him small things like jamun fruits sincerely, He grants us precious items like gems and Moksham itself. The fruit seller was not a great scholar and yet she recogonized Him as the Supreme Brahman. He is easily accessible even to an ordinary person like the fruit seller and any person can easily know Him.

Cattle rearing: The Lord went after the cattle and reared them. The cattle didn’t object to the Lord coming after them. Like the cattle if we allow the Lord to take care of us without trying to save ourselves, He will definitely make sure that we don’t face any problems in life.

Bakasuran: Asura in guise of stork represents quality of dhambham (doing something in order to receive praise) which is destroyed by Perumal.

Agasuran: Came in the form of a python and was killed by Krishna. People have the tendency to take everything without moving from their place. This quality is estroyed by Perumal.

Vana Bhojanam: Consuming Perumal Prasadam in His company. If we are given prasadam at temples we must eat just a little in His presence.

Vatsabaharanam: Even a simple folk like the fruit seller could know the Lord while the scholarly like Lord Brahma fail to recogonize Him.

Vatsasuran, Dhenukasuran, kapitasuran: Vatsasuram came as a calf and represents ignorance, Dhenukan as an ass; it is a good omen to hear an ass but bad to see it, kapitasuran as vilambhazham. The vilambhazham fruit has a seed called manmatha bheejam which is known to help retain youth. The Lord destroys ignorance and shows us not to destroy food which is not satvik in nature by

Kalinga Narthanam: Bhujangan is name for snake as well as a Casanova. Perumal controlls our tendency to behave like a Casanova. This is shown by Perumal dancing on Kalingan. Our mind is like a snake. To control it we need Perumal.

Forest Fire: We are influenced by our past karmas because of which we take birth and experience the “tapa trayam”.

The three types of tapa trayam are

1.       Adhyadhmikam: Sufferings experienced by us because of our association with people, work, society etc. These problems are created because of our interaction with others.

2.       Adhiboudhikam: Sufferings which are beyond our control like troubles we face due to pest damage, pathogens etc.

3.       Adhideivikam: Sufferings caused by natural calamities like storms and Earthquakes.

       The Lord showed that He will relieve us from the pain caused by tapa trayam by swallowing the forest fire.
