Srimad Ananda Tīrtha is commonly identified with Madhva, the third avatāra of Mukhya PrāNa, the god of life, as given in the BaLitthā Sūkta of the Rg Veda. The first two avatāra-s are as Hanumān and Bhīmasena, and the third is Madhva, who came down to Earth as a sanyāsī, in order to avoid decimating the forces of evil (as he had done on the previous two occasions, and as he would have done again -- upsetting the flow of Kali Yuga in the process -- if he were not a sannyāsī). http://www.dvaita.org/madhva/AnandaT_1.html What do you think? Does this happen?

Perhaps...my brother has recently had a son, they knew he has patua syndrome...they don't usually live long. But they feel that it happened for a reason. My mum feels this baby is a beautiful soul. ![](http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/blueheart.gif) When I get the chance, I must go and see him.IP: Logged | |
