Guest guest Posted April 28, 1998 Report Share Posted April 28, 1998 I had similar doubts on the actual historical occurence of the events described in the puraanas and thinking that these are allegorical stories is clearly not satisfactory. My thought process was similar to that described by Sri. Krishna Susarla. Along similar lines, I had a question that I am sure some of the members of this group would be able to answer. what about the experiences of other religious leaders for example - Jesus Christ, Mohammed .. Is one to reject the notion that these are true experiences / true religions. If these are true, what explains the dramatic difference in the religious rules on diet, rituals etc ? If one rejects these as false / allegorical, then how can we claim that those "extra sensory" perceptions by the indian sages are historical facts but those in other religions are myth? For that matter, even within Sanata Dharma, such differences exist!! I trust that these questions do not offend anybody. If so, you have my apologies, and hope that you will excuse my ignorance.
