HARE KRISHNA

                                             2. SHREE AVTAAR...........STORY OF ELEPHANT SAVED FROM

                                                                                      CROCODILE

PLEASE LET ME CLEAR......WHAT IS THE REASON OF NO STORY ABOUT THESES AVATAAAR. OR THERE IS SOME OTHER STORY ABOUT IT.

    Hare KRsna Prabhuji,

    PAMHO.

    Firstly, Bhagavad Gita is the vani of the lord, spoken by the lord. SB is about the lord, spoken by devotees Sukadev Goswami, Suta Goswami, Saunak Rishi and Narad Muni.

    What ISKCON talks about is what is mentioend in both the books. In SB itself, it is mentioned primary or main avatars (dashavtars) and other avatars. Gajendra Moksha pastime is very much part of SB and mentioend by Srila Prabhupada in his commentary on SB. In Gajendra moksha pastime, lord appears in VIshnu form, there was no separate avatar that He took. 

    Regarding Hayagriva, very less is mentioned in SB, therefore very less is mentioned in the commentary. 

    I hope it is clear.

    Haribol,

    YOur servant,

    Radha Rasamayi DD
