Bhakti Vikasa Swami: The Original Boar (for Varaha dvadasi, upcoming) [ 2010-01-26 ]
The Lord is spoken of herewith as the origin of the boar species. As stated in the Vedanta-sütra (1.1.2), the Absolute Truth is the origin of everything. Therefore it is to be understood that all 8,400,000 species of bodily forms originate from the Lord, who is always adi, or the beginning. In Bhagavad-gita Arjuna addresses the Lord as adyam, or the original. Similarly, in the Brahma-samhita the Lord is addressed as adi-purusam, the original person. Indeed, in Bhagavad-gita (10.8) the Lord Himself declares, mattah sarvam pravartate: "From Me everything proceeds." In this situation the Lord assumed the shape of a boar to kill the demon Hiranyaksa and pick up the earth from the Garbha Ocean. Thus He became adi-sükara, the original boar. In the material world a boar or pig is considered most abominable, but the adi-sükara, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, was not treated as an ordinary boar. Even Lord Brahma and the other demigods praised the Lord's form as a boar.
