Shree Ganeshay Namah ! Whenever Dharma (morality) falls prey to Adharma, (sin) inflates, Lord Vishnu incarnates in that era to protect the good and destroy the evil. With the help of many Gods , hermits and sages, the work of formulating a far reaching plan of religious doctrines and peoples safety is also undertaken. In the epoch of Lord Krishnas incarnation i.e. the end of Dwapaar Yuga, plans were made for the Kali Yuga. Amongst which, was one of the most important plan; the nine Narayana’s should take divine birth and educate the people to attain Moksha (salvation). On Lord Krishna’s invitation, the nine Narayan ; Kavi, Hari, Antariksha, Prabuddha, Pippalaayan, Avirhotra, Drumil, Chamas and Karbhajan attended the Yadavas assembly. There he told them the plan of who, when, where and how they will take birth. The incarnations were decided as follows, Kavi as Macchindra, Hari as Goraksha, Antariksha as Jalandhar, Prabuddha as Kanif, Pippalaayan as Charpati, Avirhotra as Naagnath, Drumil as Bhartari, Karbhajan as Gahini and Chamas as Revan. Shree Krishna as Gyanadev, Shankar as Nivrutti, Bramha as Sopaan, Yogmaya as Mukttabai, Uddhav as Naamdev, Maruti as Ramdas, Valmiki as Tulsidas, Jaambavaan as Narhari, Shukra as Kabir, Balram as Pundalik, Kubja as Janabai, and many such devotees and saints will educate people in Dharma (morality), Moksha (salvation), Bhakti (devotion), Gyan (knowledge), and Yoga; was decided as the grand plan for the future. Later the nine Narayanas stayed in the state of meditation on the Mandaraajchal. After a time interval, Lord Kavi originated in the chaste womb of a fish in the Yamuna River. Coincidently, Lord Shankar was giving Goddess Parvati the teachings of self knowledge on the bank of river Yamuna. On hearing that, Kavi acknowledged from inside the fishs womb in the river. Lord Shankar immediately understood the meaning of it and blessed Kavi. Before leaving he also assured him teachings from Lord Datta in the future. Sometime passed and the fish laid eggs on the river bank. The egrets started breaking the eggs when a human larva fell from a big egg and started crying. He was the Kavi Narayana! Seeing that the egrets flew away and the child continued crying.There lived a fisherman named Kaamik along with his wife Sharadvata. They were a barren couple. When he came to the river bank he saw this baby and got extremely happy. He thought to himself that this is Gods gift to me and took him home. The couple nurtured him with immense love and named him Macchindra. This child started growing up in the fishermen community and was everyones beloved. From the age of 4 - 5 years he started going with his father Kaamik to the river bank. Every day the father caught fish and threw in the basket kept on the bank and the child protected it from crows and Soon the child got anxious due to the knowledge he had received from Lord Shiva, when in the womb. He couldnt put up with the squirming of the fish outside water. Feeling pity for them, Macchindra threw the fish back in the river when his father was busy fishing. The fish got a gift of life. When Kaamik came back to the shore he shouted at Macchindra as his efforts had gone waste. “Child, whats the point in showing mercy on the fish You will starve! Kaamik dragged the child home. Macchindra felt,„Begging is better than filling the belly at the cost of an animals life! as soon as the fisherman turned his back he ran away and day in day out kept walking towards North. He reached the Badrikaavan. Seeing the delightful place he thought, „this is the place where I should sit and meditate as per Lord Shankars advice. And that 5 year old child sat for meditation and ascetic practice!
