You are just displaying your ignorance and possible Hindu chauvinism. BTW, they are the foremost Indo-European religous scholars. Your sources are post Vedic. I would recommend Puhvel's Comparaive Mythology. A great resource for a Vedic Group (besides the Vedas of course)." So----you say---I am displaying ignorance? NO!--on the contrary it is YOU who are ignorant. Here is the evidence, you say : "I would recommend Puhvel's Comparaive Mythology. A great resource for a Vedic Group (besides the Vedas of course)." First of all Mythology is imaginations. Myths by definition are invented stories or imaginary persons or objects. So your suggestion proves you are totally engrossed in your little world of imaginations this has NOTHING to do with vedic culture. WE DO NOT ACCEPT MYTHS---OUR VEDIC CULTURE IS BASED ON FACTS. OUR VEDIC CULTURE IS AND HAS BEEN GUIDED BY ACARYAS AND ACCEPTANCE OF BHAGAVAD-GITA, MAHABHARATA, SRIMAD-BHAGAVATAM, RAMAYANA. LECTURE BY HIS DIVINE GRACE AC BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI PRABHUPADA 761129SB.VRN Lectures Krsna condemns, avajananti mam mudha manusim tanum asritah. Anyone who thinks that Krsna has a different soul... No. Krsna and Krsna's so-called soul, the same thing. There is no difference. That is the... Otherwise how Krsna can lift, as a seven-years-old boy, Govardhana Hill? Is it possible by this material body? No. That is not possible. This is common sense. But they cannot understand Krsna, mudha. Avajananti mam mudha. They call, "It is mythology. Mythology. Everything mythology." First of all they cannot find out what is God, and when God comes, shows His opulences, these rascals say, "It is mythology." What God will do? He comes before you. He displays His mighty opulences. He expanded Himself into sixteen thousand form. "Mythology." So what can I do? What Krsna can do? Advaitam acyutam anadim ananta-rupam adyam purana-purusam nava-yauvanam ca. Sastra says He has got ananta-rupam, but still one. There is no difference. They cannot understand the Absolute Truth, and they like to comment upon it foolishly. Therefore Sanatana Gosvami says that don't hear anything from the Mayavadi, avaisnava. Mayavadi means avaisnava. Sanatana Gosvami says that sravanam na kartavyam putam hari-kathamrtam. Sravanam na kartavyam: "Those who are not Vaisnavas, from them do not hear the transcendental topics." Avaisnava-mukhodgirnam putam hari-katham, sravanam na kartavyam. He has warned, "Don't hear. Who is not a Vaisnava, don't hear from him at least Gita, Bhagavatam. Or any sastra, don't hear," because they do not know what is actually the position. Krsna also says, naham prakasah sarvasya yogamaya- sama... Here it is said, yogamaya-vasanaya. Atah sri-krsna-namadi na bhaved grahyam indriyaih. These blunt senses, they cannot appreciate what is Krsna. Yogamaya-samavrtah. He's covered. To the nondevotees, He is covered. To the devotees--sevonmukhe hi jihvadau svayam eva--He reveals: "Yes, I am here like this." So do not think... Caitanya Mahaprabhu has warned, prakrta kariya mane visnu kalevara, aparadha nahi ara inhara upara(?). So long we are aparadhi, offender, there is no possibility of understanding Krsna. And Caitanya Mahaprabhu therefore has warned, that "Don't hear about Krsna or any transcendental subject matter from a Mayavadi." Mayavadi-bhasya sunile haya sarva-nasa. If you hear from a Mayavadi, then your advancement in devotional service is finished. Haya sarva-nasa. You should be very, very careful. avaisnava-mukhodgirnam putam hari-kathamrtam sravanam na kartavyam sarpocchista-payo yatha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
