WHY THE SUPREME LORD VISHNU MANIFESTS IN A HUMAN-LIKE FORM EVEN IN HIS DIVINE VAIKUNTHA ?

The Supreme Form of Bhagavān, even in Vaikuṇṭha, is portrayed in the scriptures in a predominantly human-like form, with the fundamental distinction that this form is wholly divine, transcendent, and beyond the limitations of the pañca-bhūtas. Even in manifestations such as Matsya, Kūrma, Varāha, Narasiṃha and Hayagrīva, the distinctive features associated with the fish, tortoise, boar, lion or horse are primarily reflected in the head or face, while the divine form is generally represented with an upright, human-like body.
This itself invites profound contemplation. The human form, fashioned by the Supreme Lord, appears to possess a unique and extraordinary significance. Even Lord Brahma, Lord Siva, the devas and other celestial beings are predominantly conceived in anthropomorphic forms.
Why, then, should the Supreme Being choose to reveal Himself in a human-like form even in His transcendent abode? Is there a deeper metaphysical significance behind this correspondence between the divine form and the human form? This is not merely a question of iconography; it is a subject worthy of deep reflection, meditation, and spiritual inquiry. Perhaps the mystery of the human form itself deserves to be contemplated as one of the profound expressions of the divine order.
ममैवांशो जीवलोके जीवभूतः सनातनः ।
मनःषष्ठानीन्द्रियाणि प्रकृतिस्थानि कर्षति ॥

Whether doing SandhyA Vandanam and Gayatri Japam by Brahmanas living abroad is fruitful?

The Sastras clearly declare that Bharata Desa is the Karma Bhumi fit for the performance of various Karmas in order to be fruitful. But the question remains to be answered as to whether the Karmas performed by the Brahmanas who have gone abroad due to various reasons are fruitful or not.
It has to be admitted that place (desa) is an important aspect of performance of Karma which tilts heavily towards Bharata Desa. In the light of Bhagavad Gita, it is advisable to perform a karma and surrender the fruit to the Suporeme Lord ( Karma phala tyaga) instead of not doing anything (karma tyaga) irrespective of the fact that the karma performed outside is not as fruitful as done in Bharata Desa. SandhyA Vandanam is a Nitya Karma which has to be done as long as one is alive and fit. Even while some one is abroad, he has to do that sincerely. When a dvija lives abroad under certain inevitable circumstances, it is always preferable to perform the nitya karma to the extent possible rather than giving up the same totally, quoting the SAstras.
SandhyA Vandanam is nothing but chanting and celebrating the splendor and glory of the Supreme and his manifestations in different forms. The mental framework (bhAva) of the doer (KartA) is more important than the physical ritualistic aspects involved.
What is not possible through proper performance of VarNASrama dharma in such difficult circumstances can be compensated through devotionally chanting the mahAmantra. Thus, the deficiencies (lopas) of karmAnushthAna can be addressed through devotional surrender to the Supreme.
One should not condemn the changing yuga dharmas and those dvijAs who follow those, as the dvijAs are suited to the yuga concerned.

---SrI VishNu PurANa

vidhikriyA vihInAnAm gatir govinda kIrtanam ॥
In conclusion, Brahmanas should endeavor to do karmas to the extent possible and offer the fruit to BhagavAn in the true spirit of karma yoga. They should also daily do nAma japam and surrender unconditionally to BhagavAn. A vipra who does vihita kamAnushthAna should not find fault with others who do not do, as each one is driven by his own PrArabdha karma. He should not think that he is superior to someone who does not do kamAnushthAna properly nor to a dedicated Bhakta who is always immersed in the thought of the Supreme.
