Vali Samhara

[Guest guest]

Sri Gurubhyonamaha Harihi Om

 

Dear Madhwas,

 

I have question regarding Vali Samhara by Sri Ramachandra.

 

It is said that Sri Ramachandra hid behind a tree and killed Vali.

 

According to Kshetriya Dharma no one cannot kill their enemies by

standing behind them or cannot kill by hiding.

 

Then Sri Ramachandra has not conducted as per Kshtriya Dharma.

 

When I applied my thought I think in this way.

 

Vali was a devout devotee of Shri Ramachandra. Vali had to be

killed for Dharma Stapana. If Rama stand before Vali the latter

would bow to Rama and also surrender to Rama. Kshetriya Dharma says

if the enemy surrenders he should be forgiven and not killed.

 

As there was no other way to kill Vali, Sri Rama had to kill him by

hiding behind a tree.

 

Please clarify the matter.

 

Krishnaarpanamastu.

 

Thanx,

 

With Pranamas

Hare Sreenivasa,

 

its also said that Vali a monkey is not a human being and killing a mruga by standing behind is not against to xatriya dharma.

If one always practices to do actions with a dedicated spirit to Hari, in this way, it pleases Vishnu. --- Quoted by Sri madhvAchArya in GitA tAtparya--To send an empty E-mail (without subject and body info.) to - --Visit VMS at http://www.madhva.orgView the latest events in the US by selecting the 'Events' link
