VISHNU incarnated Himself as a sow in order to
kill the demon Hiranynksha. After killing the
demon, sow remained quite happy with her young
ones. Forgetting her real nature, she was suckling
them very contentedly. The gods in heaven could
not persuade Vishnu to relinquish His sow's body
and return to the celestial regions. He was
absorbed in the happiness of His beast form. After
consulting among themselves, the gods sent Siva to
the sow. Siva asked the sow "Why have you
forgotten yourself?" Vishnu replied through the
sow's body, "Why, I am quite happy here."
Thereupon with a stroke of his trident Siva
destroyed the sow's body and Vishnu went back to
heaven.
Everyone is under the authority of the Divine
Mother, Mahamaya, the Primal Energy. Even the
Incarnations of God accept the help of Maya to
fulfil their mission on earth. Therefore they
worship the Primal Energy.
