Q - Krishna / Vishnu / Sriman Narayana

[Guest guest]

Adiyen Daasoham.Jai Sriman Naaraayana.

 

>From so many days, I am getting a query in mind:

 

In the end part of Vishnu sahasra naamam, we chant

"Kaayaena vaachaa....Naaraayanaayaeti Samarpayami" and

then "Sriman Naaraayanaayaeti Samarpayami".

 

After this again people chant

"Sarvam Sri Krishnaarpanamastu"

 

which is not printed in the book. But even though

printed, as Sriman Naaraayanaa and SriKrishna are

same, why we need to say both of the above lines:

 

"Sriman Naaraayanaayaeti Samarpayami".

"Sarvam Sri Krishnaarpanamastu"

---------------

I bound the Vishnupuranam stories from Chandamama in

India and got it to Pittsburgh. When I went thru the

dasaavataaram stories taken from Vishnupuraanam, it

mentions about 14 worlds in which, the first top most

world is "Dhruva Kshiti" where Dhruva lives

permanently and this kshiti contains "Golokam" where

SriKrishna Stays here with Prakriti Maata (radha

devi). Above this Druva kshiti, there will be a total

darkness and at the other end of this darkness, there

lies the "Vaikuntam" where Sriman Naaraayana lives.

that means Sriman Naaraayana lives in the top most

part of Brahmaanda.

In some other stories, I read that Sriman Naaraayana

came from SriKrishna. There is some missing

information I guess. My question is out of these two,

who came from whom? Iscon people also says that Sri

maha Vishnu came from SriKrishna.

Can you please elaborate and clarify me on this?

---------------

Also In Vishnu puraanam, when I read, it says,

Parasurama went to Golokam to get "Krishna Kavacham"

from Sri Krishna, to fight and remove kings on earth.

That means, SriKrishna exists before he descends to

earth in the time of Mahabharata. But there is no

exact story how he came to Golokam. Can you please let

me know?

 

Please correct me also if I am wrong in any of my

mentions here and also let me know, if my first

question is related to any of these stories because of

which we have to chant

"Sri Krishnaarpana mastu" after chanting Vishnu

saharsa naamam.

 

Jai Sriman Naaraayana.

ANS:

FOR THE SAKE OF SLOKA, IT IS MENTIONED 'NARAYANAYETHI SAMARPAYAMI'. TO AVOID

CONFUSION FURTHER, THEY ADDED THAT NARAYANA IS NOT SINGLE ONE BUT

'SRIMANNARAYANAYETHI...' OF COURSE, NARAYANA IS ALWAYS 'SRIMAN' ONLY. WHEN THAT

CONCEPT INCARNATED BECAME 'KRISHNA' TO WE OFFER TO HIM EVERYTHING.

 

THE STORIES OF CHANDAMAMA NEED NOT BE TAKEN AS EXACT STORIES OF THE PURANAM.

 

LORD IN HIS DIVINE ABODE IS CALLED AS PARA-VASUDEVA OR SRIMANNARAYANA. WHEN HE

STARTS THE CREATING HE TAKES THE NAME AS VISHNU, ALONG WITH BRAHMA & SIVA. BUT

WHEN EVER THE TIME COMES TAKES INCARNATIONS. IN THAT PROCESS, ONE INCARNATION

AMONG THEM WAS LORD KRISHNA, WHO IS VERY NEAR TO US. SO WE DEDICATE AT THE END

TO HIM, AS HE ASKED THAT FROM US IN BHAGAVAD GITHA IN 9TH CHAPTER. INCARNATIONS

FROM KRISHNA, AS EXPLAINED BY ISCON, IS NOT ACCEPTED BY OUR ACHARYAS. EVEN

AUTHENTIC PURANAS ALSO WERE NOT IN TUNE TO THAT CONCEPT. THIS HAS BEEN EXPLAINED

IN BRAHMA VAIVARTHA PURANAM, WHICH WAS CONSIDERED AS A THAMASA PURANAM. SO YOU

NEED NOT TAKE THE PORTIONS OF THAT, WHICH GO AGAINST TO SRIMAD BHAGAVATHAM,

BECAUSE IT IS THE MOST AUTHENTIC ONE. IN THAT BHAGAVATHAM, ISCON PEOPLES STAND

WAS NOT SUPPORTED.
