Vamana is the fourth of dasavatar. He who subdued the pride of bali.vaam means vomit since he made Bali vomit his pride therefore called vamana.
Upanishads praise vamana as the one who bestows all his devotees desires. We should think of vamana while starting on a journey in order to have a safe journey.it is the journey we undertake across the ocean of samsar, journey of life.
The story of vamana teaches that what ever you do in life either good or bad surrender to him,you will be liberated. Vamana demanded three steps from Bali,
What does that three stages represent?
It represents three stages of surrender.
Physical surrender to pancha bhootas,this way you surrender to the creator and controller of pancha bhootas and you fully realize that you are made of them
Psychological surrender when we disassociate from our minds from ego pride pain pleasure.we recognise that he is beyond pride and hence try to transcend the mind.
The final act is intellectual surrender which is when you trust god more than your intellect that is
Saranagathi.
It is said lord has 3 answers for all the prayers. 1. Yes. 2.wait. 3.i have better plan for you.
But he never says no. Trust him he will always bless you.
It is also said he realises god quickest who yearnings are strongest,.
