Shree Hari ( Dhruvvar ) Avatar

The One Who Gave an Eternal Seat to Unshakable Devotion

Introduction: Pleased with the penance of the five-year-old devotee Dhruva, Shri Hari granted him a boon. This form is therefore called “Dhruvvar”.

Story: Dhruva, son of King Uttanapada, was stopped by his stepmother Suruchi from sitting on his father’s lap and was insulted. Hurt, the boy went to the forest after taking his mother Suniti’s advice. Devarshi Narada gave him the mantra “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya”. When Dhruva performed severe penance at Madhuvan, Lord Vishnu appeared and touched his cheek with the conch, granting him divine speech and wisdom. The Lord gave him a kingdom and, in the end, the Dhruva Pada, which is believed to remain in the sky even today as the unmoving Pole Star.

Message: The Lord never ignores true and unwavering devotion.
