Question on the Srinivasa Kalyanam Katha ...

[Guest guest]

Hare Krishna.

 

"Sukamahamunin" = Suka + Mahamunin, who is the

self-same Sri Sukadeva Goswami, who spoke the Srimad

Bhagavatam. In several puranic histories, he is

described as Pravati's parrot who hears the glories of

the Lord with Parvati when Lord Shiva describes these

to her. In his next pastime, he appears in the womb of

Srila Vyasadeva's wife as Sukadeva Goswami. Suka means

parrot also. So, sometimes in pictoral drawings, he is

represented with a parrot's face although I believe

that he had a human face when he appeared as Sukadeva

Goswami. Sometimes, for example, Kurma avataram is

portrayed as the Lord having His original face and a

tortoise's body but if descriptions may be analysed

more thoroughly, the Lord appears in full tortoise

form with a tortoise face as well. In either case,

this I believe is the personality "Sukamahamunin".
