Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 You may worship Sankara as God, because he is worshipped by Ramacandra Himself, but that is only because that is Rama's nara-lila. Actually Sankara wants to serve Rama. In order to do that he becomes Hanuman. Hanuman, although a great servant of Rama, is lakhs and lakhs inferior to Mother Yasoda. If he would see Mother Yasoda pulling on Krishna's ears and chastising Him, he would become angry and consider that an offense. Sivaji is far inferior to Mother Yasoda. When Krishna was a small baby, Sivaji came to Vrindavana, intensely desiring Krishna's darsana. Mother Yasoda kept refusing, and finally she agreed only when she knew that Krishna would be protected by her wrapping Him thoroughly in a black cloth and putting thick black kajal on Him. Then, she only opened that cloth for one second so that Sivaji could get her son's darsana. She thought, "That person is so ferocious. How can I let my baby see him?" Therefore, because he was so eager to see Krishna, he had to become like Mother Yasoda. He had to become a gopi. He became Gopisvara, so that he could enter Krishna's intimate pastime arena. _______________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
