REGARDING RAMAKRISHNA AS AN AVATAR

[Guest guest]

DEAR DEVOTEES,

WE ACCEPT THAT THAKUR IS AN INCARNATION OF

LORD KRISHNA HIMSELF.

BUT THOSE WHO ARE INCARNATIONS OF SHIVA OR VISHNU

WOULD BE SURELY REFERRED IN OUR SCRIPTURES.

FOR EXAMPLE,BUDDHA AND CAITANYA MAHAPRABHU WERE

REFERRED IN SCRIPTURES.

ALSO ADI SHANKARA AND HIS MISSION IS REFERRED IN

PADMA PURANA.

LIKEWISE,IS THERE ANY REFERENCE TO OUR THAKUR?

IF IT IS NOT SO,ON WHAT BASIS WE ACCEPT HIM AS AN

AVATAR?WE SHOULD NOTE THAT KRISHNA ASKS US TO REFER

TO SCRIPTURES FOR SPIRITUAL QUESTS.

Dear Mr Moorthy,

 

Namaste. I don't want to go into an awful lot of

details on the issue. To put it very simply this

question was raised during Thakurs time itself after

Bhairavi Brahmani declared Thakur to be an Avatar. The

biggest oppostion came from two of Thakurs best

associates Haladhari and Mathur Babu, but for

different reasons. Haladhari opined that this was not

mentioned in the scriptures which mentions only ten

avatars. Mathur Babu was concerned that such a

declaration would get into the " simple man's " head and

derange him further.

 

To counter this Brahmani arranged a meeting which was

attended by the learned pundits of Bengal. After

listening to Brahmanis arguements it was unanimously

agreed that Thakur was an avatar. Thakur enjoyed the

whole episode like a small child and expressed his

satisfaction.

 

However this did not result in Thakurs name being

spread far and wide. Soon everybody forgot the whole

incident and Thakurs life continued in the same vein.

 

Later Girish Ghosh took up the cudgel of spreading the

word of Thakurs avatarhood but was admonished by

Thakur who assured everybody that " before leaving this

mortal frame I would break the pot in the bazaar " i.e.

let out the secret.

 

On 1st of January 1886, Thakur suddenly emerged from

his sick room and asked Girish Ghosh what the latter

thought about him. Girish knelt down before Thakur and

said, " You are the substance from which Avatars

emerge! " . Thakur was pleased no end and declared, " Let

all of you be awakened " .

 

Then in August 1886, Thakur declared to a disbelieving

Narendranath (Swamiji), " You can not believe even now?

Then listen, He who was Rama and He who was Krishna is

now Ramakrishna, but not from your vedantic

viewpoint " . Thakur was obviously referring to Advaita

Vedanta.

 

Swamiji was convinced then and there and with that, I

think, the rest of the world should be convinced too!.

 

Regards

Jagannath.
