Guest guest Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 My dear friend, First, you have confused between Brahman and Brahma. Brahman is the almighty God, Rama or Krishna or whatever name you call him. Narayana of whose manifestations are the avataras is synonymous with the Brahman of the Upanishads in visishtadvaita philosophy.Krishna is none other than Brahman or Narayana the supreme self or supreme Godhead as the Iskcon followers , I suppose your are one of them, call Him. In Srimad Bhagavatham Suka says , all the other avataras are only the an amsa of Narayana but 'Krishnastu bhagavaan svayam' meaning that Krishne is the full manifestation of God. On the other hand the four-faced Brahma , one of the Trinity, is inferior to Narayana or Krishna, the Supreme self of all, the Brahman of the Upanishads. saroja Ramanujam Dr. Saroja Ramanujam, M.A., Ph.D, Siromani in sanskrit.
