------------ Those who worship the demigods will take birth among the demigods; those who worship the ancestors go to the ancestors; those who worship ghosts and sprits will take birth among such beings; and those who worship Me will live with Me. BG 9.25 ------------ This is right . Actually it is like this .... Every living entity is in some level of its own evolution and actual final destiny is only one for all . But according to past karma , the living being takes birth according to the laws of nature and this is added up with three modes of nature ( three gunas ) those are sathva ,raajas,and thamo guna . in every step of evolution the living entity is actually trying to reach the ultimate reality . So what krishna says is ,according to the three guna's ,the human will worship a perticular person or god . These different gods ( or godess ) are meant for different steps of evolution and their job is to help the human beign for moving from his present step of evolution to the next . in simple terms , budha is destiny for budhists ,and allah is destiny for a muslim and so on ... and they definitely reach thier perticular deity after death ,and they help them to push jeeva to the next evolution . So it is simply an ignorance if we compare different riligion and different forms of god . [This message has been edited by s_dilipk (edited 06-13-2001).]

"They have already been slain by me." What does krishna mean by this statement ? Does it mean that he is going to kill them ( bheeshma ,drona ,jayadrada ,karna etc ) even if arjuna can not . or rather it means he has done all the preparation for enimies deaths .? cheers dil [This message has been edited by s_dilipk (edited 06-13-2001).]

Lord vishnu in searching for goddess lakshi set HIS foot on Sheshachala ( the group of seven hills ) . there he decided to settle down . He encountered Vakulaadevi ( who is yeshoda ,mother of Lord krishna , his previous avathara . Actually Lord krishna grants a boon to yeshoda that she will again born as vakuladevi in his next incarnation as Lord Venkateswara in kaliyuga ,as she asks him she wants to see his marriege celebration ,which she hasnt attended any of his marriege celebrations despite he married 8 times ( lists rukmini ,satybhama etc.. ) ) . Vakuladevi starts serving him and she calls him sreenivasa ( THE POSSESSER of wealth ) . But He replies that he is poor now ( since lakshmi already left him ) meanwhile , Lord sreenivasa one file goes for hunting ,and he saws a beauitful woman who is padmavati ,the doughter of Akasharaja and story goes on . finally Lord manifests himself as a statue to drag people of kaliyuga out of samsara sagara ( the ocean of births and deaths ) can anybody identify the the year or century when lord venkateswara appeared on EARTH ? friends if u want to read full story of Lord please visit www.tirumala.org ,there you can find a full story

Hi friends I gone through all topics in the forum and it seems no one is discussing about Lord venkateswara , THE Present lord of Kaliyugu ,( Kaliyuga prathyaksha daivam ) , The Lord Who is Very near to his devoties , The Lord who responds immediately to his divoties when they call him ,in troubles . So I would like to start a topic on our dear Lord . Lord venkateswara , is supposed to be the Most Powerful avathara of Lord Vishnu . And That too a clear ,near ,and Reacent avathara of Kaliyugu . The Lord , selected a beautifull place for Himself in tirupati ,Andhra pradesh ,with seven hills ,thus called as Lord of seven hills ( Edukondala Vadu ) and HIS temple in tirumala is the Richest temple in the world . Our dear Lord stepped his foot on this earth to to clean the sins of people of kaliyuga and to Provide Mukthi for HIS DIVOTEES from this Maya or samsara sagara ( cycle of births and deaths ) . I dont know about the other deities ,but Lord balaji is promised other devata's that this avathara is meant for people in kaliyuga ,as kaliyuga is said to be the time when human lives with too much of adharma and commit sins . Lord vishnu left vaikunta as godess lakshmi leaves him after a rishi called brughu humiliates Lord vishnu by kicking on his chest ( vakshasthala ) which is the place of lakshmi . Lord naarayana , in search for his dearest lakshmi come to earth ,which results this avathara ,and thus starts the story of Lord of seven hills friends , i would like to have a great discussion on the story, passtimes ,and facts of balaji .. smile for a while sdk [This message has been edited by s_dilipk (edited 06-08-2001).]
