The special quality of 14 mukhi Rudraksha - Lord Siva

[Guest guest]

Well... I don't know how widely you stretch your definition of Vaidik,

but if we take it to mean sastra written/compiled by vyasa, then you

can (for starters) look at Bhagavat Purana, Visnu Purana, Bhagavat Gita.

 

If you are looking at purely vaidik texts as in the 4 vedas then how

about Rg Veda (1.12.164.31)--

 

apaSyaM gopAm aNipadyamA namA...

 

Also ChAndogya Upanisad (8.13.1)--

SyamAc chabalam prapadye...

 

in Bhagavat the famous sloka (1.3.28)

ete camsakalah pumsah krsnas tu bhagavan svayam

 

Also in Narada Pancaratra many slokas are there describing the

divinity of Krsna.

 

So many references... If you will not accept these, then surely at

some point you will end up burdened and confused by many other

sources. I don't see why people don't accept. You can go to Vraja and

meet many sad guru's/siddha bhakta/paramhamsa bhaktas who are all

devotees of krsna. And though I laud your faith in mulapramana at the

same time, you can experience it for yourself by their presence alone.

 

An uttama adhikari bhakta is one whose mere presence makes one chant

the names of Krsna.

everywhere in the vedas it is krsna is the supreme. Is it because Lord

Shiva is Asutosh(easily pleased). Also I have heard that in the Shiva

purana it is stated that Lord Shiva is supreme.Ofcourse in the Ganesh

Purana has stated that Ganesh is supreme.

catagoris according to the gunas. Six in Tama guna, six in Raja guna

and six in satva guna. The Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavat Gita are in

Satva guna. Maybe people should try reading them.

> Each of the Puranas claim that their perticular diety is supreme

so people in those gunas can observe what they can while being in that

guna and not go to higher dieties because it might be disruptive.

> The position of Lord Siva ia that he is always accompanied by

ghosts and hobgoblins - because his incarnation is to elevate those in

the mode of tamas and trick them into worshiping a Vaisnava (himself)

- Lord Siva carried Mother Ganga on his head, and Mother Ganga washes

the feet of Lord Vishnu (Krishna).

different as people are on different levels of realisation!

question if Shiva is a vaishnava, then why doesn't he spot the same

vaishnava emblem on his forehead ?

> That which exists is One, sages call it by various Names- That is

what the Rig Veda proclaims. Each of us will be attracted by a concept

of divinity and choose a mode of worship pertaining to our past

impressions and gunas. Isn't that obvious ? Are we living in a well

here ? Just look around the world and you can see numerous paths.

Sectarianism can only make one narrow minded and one doens't need

scriptural quotes to say that.
