few Q's

November 26, 2002

Jai guru Datta,

While reading Sri Datta Darshanam...i've come up with some points which i would

like to have your view/thoughts about.

1)

Do you consider every story as real events? (btw I really want to, and acyually

believe the stories)For example Parsurama (page 168, 4th sentence from beneath)

went around the world 21 times & killed all kshatriyas.

2)

Is there mention of dinosaurs in the scriptures? Because for example The persons

like KartaviyaArjuna became thousands of years old.

3)

The correct order is Matha Pita Guru Daivam ..now on page 162, 2nd sentence from

beneath father Jamadagni commanded his 4 sons to cut off the mother's head,

because she commited sin of dirty thougths...the four sons hesitated...which i

because of the above order understand. Killing mother is not inline with Daivam

so if father who is higher in order than mother says to kill mother then i would

not do it because Daivam is higher in order and does not support killing... in

this situation, However Parsuram killed his mother without second thought and it

was blissfull...?! He did however immediately say to his father to ressurect his

mother. ..PLEASE COMMENT....how could Parsurama did a good thing here?

4)

Now in the Saptodaharini which starts on page 86 it is reiterated that

non-injury is very extermely important....but if one reads the story of

KartaviriyaArjuna and Parsurama one more or less only sees injury and they both

attain ultimate salvation. How should i interpret the non-injury part, and the

(blissful) injury part...?

5)

How relevant is reading about other yugas/kalpas in this KaliYuga? I find it

very beautiful, but i'm sure that when i talk to a college or something about a

person who killed worriors and went around the earth 21 times to do it...he will

laugh in my face ..probably. How should we interpret this ...sure, "how we want

to" ...but did Sri Swamiji give hints about this..?

Comments discussion thoughts are very welcome...so Please do.

Sri Guru Datta,

Win.

Jai Guru Datta

>From page 165 of Siva Kathamrita....

"Sometimes, the casual reader or a layman may get some simple doubts about

the apparent controversial points in the vast mythology. However, the

studious application of the mind and innocent inquisitiveness to try to

fathom deeper and deeper into the spiritual values emphasized in a story

form, leads one to attain firmer grasp of the subject proper. Hence, the

reader may try to study sincerely with a will to know the underlying moral

principles by which he would be benefitted in his daily conduct while facing

the challenges of life."

Sadguru Sri Swamiji answers all questions of His devotees.

Sri Guru Datta!!!
