Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 sri parthasarathy thunai srimathe ramanujaya namaha dear bhagavatals, There is quite a lot of discussion going on the topic of hari's green color.Though adiyen has no knowledge to take part in the discussion I would like to say a few points.These quotes are surely not pramanams or anything to add points to for or against in the discussion.This is something a sort of information i would like to put forth in the feet of the great scholars and learned people taking part in the discussion. I happened to hear Bharathiar 's song "kakai chiralinile" today and on hearing the following lines wanted to put to the sight of the bhagavatals in the discussion. "PARKUM MARANGALELLAM NANDALALA UNDAN PACCHI NIRAM THONDRUDADA NANDALALA" Here bharathiar combines both arguments 1.The green color of hari is due to Rukmani who gets the green color due to the richness of the trees and the floras.So on looking at the trees he is reminded of Hari 2.Here instead of saying iam reminded of Hari or sriman narayana he says undam pacchi niram thorudada NANADALALA refering to Krishna avatara.so we see his anubhavam is also with krishna avatara who is none other than narayana himself"krishnastu bhagavan swayam" There is also one sloka(i think it is desika strotram) though Iam unable to quote the correct slokam,it says whenever bhagvan takes birth his consert sridevi also takes birth in different forms.When he was rama she came as sita(ekapatni viradhan),when he was in gokulam(nanadalala) she was radha(nappinni according to our alwars) and when he was in dwaraka as dwarakadesh she was rukmini since krishna is supposed to be a srilolan not like rama who was ekapatni virathan.Names may differ but the vastu remains the same.Though in avatars the god doesnt show all his kalyana gunas still he is "poorna Brahma Sanathanam".The same wholes good for the pirati also.It may be sita,radha or rukmini the vastu remains the same. These are just my humble opinions.though I have the knowledge like the other bhagavatals i just wanted to put forward what ever came to my low mind.The mistakes or apacharams may kindly me forgived my the learned Bhagavatals adiyen ramanuja dasyai sumithra varadarajan Sports - Coverage of the 2002 Olympic Games http://sports.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 sri parthasarathy thunai srimathe ramanujaya namaha sri anand I am sorry.As i have told in my last mail I am not a scholar or nor do I possess much knoledge in these topics.But still let me put forth some more points. In ramayana,When lakshmana is asked who he was he says if u ask rama this question he will say iam his brother but according to me iam his dasan.So there is two ways of seeing things.for the same thing two people have two opinions. Radha may not be considered as one of the conserts by our vaishnavite scholars but in krishnas view as seen in rasa lila in bhagavatam radha is supposed to be on the top of all the gopis.Even when he disappears leaving all the gopis he takes radha with him.As stated by him in geetha "ye yetha mam prapathyante tham thathyva bajamyaham" I will be as people wish me to me,He will surely take radha as his consert as she wished to be.No one can deny it. When emperuman shri krishna had to go to mathura leaving all gopis he specially feels leaving radha and going and his feeling remains throughout.THis is understood from his conversation with uthava after which he sends uthave to brindavanam.Krishna then says no one is so close to him as the gopis(and head of them shree radhe).So radha has a nithya sambandam with krishna. Again emperuman is more close to his bhakthas than even his piratimars.that is why nachiyar likes to be in the alwar ghosthi even after attaining the nachiyar pathavi.emperumans love or attachment towards the bhakthas is proved in periyalwars pasuram"than adiyar thirathagathu thamaraiyalakilum..........enadiyar aduseiyar"Here sri periyavachanpillai when commenting to the word enadiyar says that piratti who is supposed to be full of arul if in case says a dhosam about an adiyar then emperuman says enadiyar adu seiyar and he supports his bhakthas.In this place when emperuman says enadiyar "enge piratiyay vilakugirar".That is till now perumal and piratti didnt have any thing differnt for each other what ever was perumals it belonged to piratti also they shared everything in common.But now since piratti said a dhosam of his adiyar(even if the adiyar is truly full of dhosams)emperuman splits piratti from him and says enadiyar instead of namadiyar and brings the devotee closer to him. from this we see that bhakthas have a nithya sambandam with perumal inspite of the innumerous dhosams they have.And no one can reject the gopis to be the best among the bhaktha ghosthi and radha being their head can never be separated from bhagavan shree krishna here in the view of radha who wants to be with krishna always(akalakillane errayum) and also krishna's view as he says to radha that he will appear before her whenever she thinks of him since radha is always in the thoughts of krishna how can krishna leave her and go.So their sambandam is for ever. Due to my lack of knowledge this whole mail may be a error still i beg the pardon of the learned people since i am unable to control myself from putting forward what i really feel.
