krishna's morality

[Guest guest]

i suppose that parikshit questions suka about krishna's morality in

srimad bhagavatham. has some studied that to understand bhagavatham's

stand on krishna's morality ? if a summary based on that study does

not answer the point, then further enquiry may be encouraged.

Not consistently. Pariikshit Mahaaraaja asks about the

apparent "immorality" of Krishna's raasa-liila, which Shukadeva more

than answers.

 

Then, there is the incident in which Lord Balaraama killed

Romaharshana for failing to get up and offer respect for him. If

memory serves, the question of "immorality" did not arise from

Pariikshit's mind, but it did occur in the minds of the brahmins

present there, whom Lord Balaraama requested to recommend a means of

atonement. This culminated in him taking an extended pilgrimmage, at

the end of which he arrived in Kurukshetra to find that the

Mahaabhaarata war and started and was finished, with Duryodhana and

Bhiima dueling to the finish.

 

Regarding the burning down of Vaaranaasi, I don't believe any

question of "immorality" arose anywhere in that context. Nor do I

recall it arising in regard to Akruura's conspiracy to take the

Syamantaka Jewel (but Shriila Vishvanaatha Chakravarti does address

this in his commentary).

Why don't you just read it yourself and present your findings? It is

widely available in libraries as well as the internet, thanks to the

good work of the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust.
