Guest guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Dear Group: Namaste and greetings. I have been an avid fan of this group and its activities and what Maa and swamiji are doing for sadhaks like us. In fact swamiji jeeps telling us " worshipping divine " is our main goal and we are not concerned with type of god as all lead to one and are same. I have a question that has been bothering me for some time.I have seen some people who are strong " devotees of Krishna " and worship " only krishna " and read " only bhagavad gita " . Their view point is like this: Krishna is everthing as he himself declared in Bhagavad gita.In fact Liberation comes from HIM alone and none. Theu even refuse to acknowledge shiva and do not consider shiva to be equal to krishna. According to them -krishna ia all and supreme and others are created by him!!! this includes us(humans) and other gods or celestial controllers. They say that when we worship shiva or devi, no doubt we attain devi loka or shiva loka and enjoy punya or fruits of our good deeds BUT we HAVE to be born again to this earth once the fruits are burned off. But when we worship Krishna and Krishna alone, we get salvation and liberation and are not reborn. This philosophy has confused and disturbed a person like me who believes in " worshipping divine in whatever form it may be-jesus or shakti or shiva etc etc " . sometimes it makes me feel like should i just be content reading Gita /worshipping krishna instead of chandi and whether chandi will get me liberation or free me from cycle of birth or death. Please enlighten me . In fact swamiji response should quieten my disturbed state . Regards krish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
