Guest guest Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Dear devotees: I read with great interest the article on Gopalasundari written by Shri Aravind Krishna. Interestingly, I just met a person who mentioned that Lord Krishna himself is a combination of Lalita and Vishnu (as opposed to being just an avatar of Vishnu only). He cited that Krishna's playfulness and cheerfulness (regardless of the situation)is the essence of Lalita and that these traits (like Her Maya) obscured His true essence to all but less than a handful of people that knew Him. I would like to know from our learned group their views on this matter. Pranams Ganesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading somewhere that Radha is Shiva and Krishna is Parvati and also that Sita is Shiva and Rama is Shakti. While Devi is shown as left half of Shiva as Ardhanarishvara, Vishnu is also shown as left half of Shiva in Shiva's Haryarda-murti form. I was told that Padma Purana has verses which say that Krishna is Lalita. This is also mentioned in Tantra-Raja Tantra in 34th patala. kadAcidAdyA lalitA puMrUpA kR^iShNa vigrahA. sarvanArI samArambhAdakarodvivashaM jagat.h..84.. >From Avalon's English introduction of the above text: ------------------------ "..Lalita assumed a male form as Krishna and by enveloping all women, enchanted the whole world. Krishna was surrounded by His Shaktis(i.e Shaktis of Lalita). He assumed six different forms. The names of the six forms are Siddhagopala, Kamaraja Gopala, Manmatha Gopala, Kandarpa Gopala, Makaraketana Gopala, and Manobhava Gopala. The last five, namely, Kamaraja, Manmatha, Kandarpa, Makaraketana, Manobhava were it is stated in chapter VII, vv. 28-33 created by the Devi, Lalita. They are Her five arrows of desire representing Her five senses of knowledge." ---------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
