Re:Radha and Rukmini

[Guest guest]

Dear Sri Malolan Cadambi

I have read with great interest your arguments

seperating Radha from Mahalakshmi (Rukmini).

I definitely agree with you that Radha is not the

awatar of Lakshmi and Radha can no where

be compared to Rukmini. Being a Madhwa

Brahmin I share your views.

But if Smt. Kalaivani sees Rukmini in Radha,

and hence finds her to be beautifull, please

let her go ahead, I feel there is nothing wrong in

this.

 

But by and large Radha is more popularly heard of

being associated with Sri Krishna especially in the

North India. Even people from ISKCON give

more importance to Radha then Rukmini.

Eventhough I donot fully agree with the ideology

of ISKCON, I have lot of respect for there

achievements in promoting Bhagawad Gita

and Bhagawatham in the western countries.

I have great respect for Srilila Prabhupada,

who single handedly spread Krishna devotion

in the Western countries. Eventoday the

followers of ISKCON donot shy in wearing

traditional Indian dress, they shave there heads

and have Shika, and put Gopi Chandanam.

How great these people are.

Eventhough I donot follow Sri Sankaracharya,

I have great respect for him. He was

a great Saint who arrested the growth

of Buddhism and preached the Supremacy

of Vedas.

Please correct me if I am wrong .

Somewhere you have mentioned Dwaitas

donot consider Krishna as God head.

I beg to differ from you on this. Dwaitas

definitely consider Sri Krishna as an

Avatar of Sri Narayan and also without

any doubt the God ahead.

 

I sincerely feel we should always see

good things in other faiths.

 

Kindly execuse me if I am wrong

somewhere.

 

Pranams
