Hear What Scripture Says About the Lord

“In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and the Mahābhārata it is stated that the Lord appears directly, but you say that in this age there is no manifestation or incarnation of Lord Viṣṇu.

  • The claim that Lord Viṣṇu has no manifestation or incarnation in this age is challenged.
  • The challenge asks the listener to consider scriptural statements rather than hold to a contrary claim.
