Laxman was vasudev and Ravan was prativasudev. Lord Ramchandra was not a vasudev, he was a balram. Krishna is vasudev and Balram is baldeva. Also along with these two, there will be nine baldevas, as brothers or stepbrothers of vasudev. They are the Pratinarayan! The two will engage in a battle against each other. On the one side a vasudev is born and on the other a prativasudev. Along with every vasudev, there will also be their opponent called a prativasudev ( prati - opposite). There is no penance or renunciation here. Vasudev means those who have evolved from an ordinary human being into God that state is called vasudev. Questioner: Can you explain in detail the mantra ' Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya'?ĭadashri: Starting from the time of Lord Rushabdev until now, there have been nine vasudev bhagwans. Lord Mahavir and Lord Rushabdev were absolute and complete manifestations of the Lord. There is no doubt about this, right? Vasudeva is Narayana, the supreme Lord, who manifest in a human being ( nara). The Lord otherwise called Vasudev, manifested within Sri Krishna.

That is why we call them God, even when they have a body. Why do we call them God? It is because the Lord has completely manifested within them.
