Guruvani Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 It depends on who you are asking the question too. Krishna generally refers to Syamasundar, Govinda, Gopal etc. etc. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is Krishna experiencing the ectasies of Sri Radha. Krishna assumed the emotional condition of Radharani and the dyuti or complexion of Radharani. Sometimes it is said that Krishna in the maha-mantra is Sri Caitanya and the Rama is Lord Nitayananda Rama. It depends on the bhava of the devotee what his conception is. There is no difference between Krsna and Krishna. Krsna is transliterative using a form of English script that has been developed by language scholars in the last 50 years and Krishna is translative. In the Sanskrit there is no i in Krishna. But, the r is pronounced like "ri" in Sanskrit. so, techincally the i in Krishna is very soft like half an i.

Guruvani Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 all clear, thanks_______________________ Is Krsna that said Bhagavad-gita to Arjuna same "character" as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu? Yes. Sri Caitanya is the same Krishna but in a different mood - the mood of a devotee. The Supreme Lord is the greatest teacher. To teach the highest kind of devotion to God, Lord Krishna advented himself in this modern age as Sri Caitanya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 what about historicaly... i mean, are we talking about same "person", "character"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guruvani Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 what about historicaly... i mean, are we talking about same "person", "character"? There is only ONE supreme God that appears in many different forms at the same time. That is the greatness of God. He can appear everywhere in different forms at the same time. So, Sri Caitanya is the same Krishna. The supreme being has unlimited power to appear everywhere in a different form all at the same time, so for Krishna to again appear as Sri Caitanya is not a problem for HIM. Sri Caitanya is exactly the same ONE supreme being as is Lord Krishna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please give me a link (if you have any) of their lives? Different avatars of the ONE supreme being. God is ONE, but he appears in many forms at different times and places to perform his Godly activities. The life of Krishna is best described in the 10th Canto of Bhagavat Purana. This same knowledge has been presented nicely in a form easily readable to Enlgish speaking people in the form of KRISHNA BOOK by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami. You can read this book online here: http://www.krsnabook.com/contents/ There is a nice summary of the life and teachings of Sri Caitanya here: http://lordcaitanya.com/tlc/en Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
