Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hari Om, Currently there is a news item in India, according to which a Uttar Pradesh IG (Police) has taken Radha's avtar and lives and behaves like Radha since 3-4 years. He claims that Sri Krishna have met him in 2003 and even now he see's Sri Krishna every now and then. He spends most of his time in doing pooja etc. His wife has taken him to court asking for some compensation as she fear that he will loose his job if he continue to do this. See link for details http://www.indianexpress.com/full_story.php?content_id=81891 Do you believe in this? Is he genuine? Shravan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hare Krishna, Avataras are predicted in scripture, therefore this is bogus. Your aspiring servant, ****** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 i Dont Know about the avtaar of Radha. But maybe he is a true devotee who dowsnt care about anything but God. Maybe somthing related to his last life. Maybe he does see shri Krishna/. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Why would the avatara of Sri Radha be a male? Doesnt make sense... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 why do we worship Radha, who although married to one man was indulging in an affair with another man, namely Krisna?we are encourging everyone to have extramarital affairs.I do not believe that it was her atma with Krisna, while her material body was with her husband because evry avatar has to follow all the rules of a man's body & krisna was no exception.Also an affair is an affair, mental or physical. as for second Radha, it is a metntal sickness the same Meerabai had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Hare Krishna, "Dont Know about the avtaar of Radha." Then what use is your opinion? "But maybe he is a true devotee who doesnt care about anything but God." If he is a devotee then why falsely claim to be an avatara? "Maybe somthing related to his last life." Or maybe he is just seeking attention. "Maybe he does see shri Krishna/." Maybe pigs fly - what is the use of speculation? Your aspiring servant.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Hare Krishna, "why do we worship Radha, who although married to one man was indulging in an affair with another man, namely Krisna?" Who was Radharani married to? "we are encourging everyone to have extramarital affairs." If you have an extramarital affair with God, that is perfect. "I do not believe that it was her atma with Krisna, while her material body was with her husband because evry avatar has to follow all the rules of a man's body & krisna was no exception." Who cares what you believe? Who says every avatara has to follow the rules of a man's body? Why are you making things up? "Also an affair is an affair, mental or physical." Yes, but this is spiritual it even transcends mental. Again, Radharani did not have an affair. "as for second Radha, it is a metntal sickness the same Meerabai had" Meerabai did not go round claiming she was an avatara of Radharani. How can you even compare the pure devotion of Meerabai to a guy who claims to be an avatara with no authority whatsoever? Stop mental speculating and blaspheming!!! Your aspiring servant.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 just curious what people think about krishna's avatar as aravani in this context of gender trasgression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 If every avatar had to follow the rules of a man's body, then how could Krishna lift Mount Govardhana with one finger? how could he be in many different places at the same time (well, quantum theory does imply this is possible though highly improbable)? How can Krishna raise people from the dead? how can he perform these supernatural feats if he is merely an avatar, or if an avatar HAS to obey the rules of the human body?

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 i dont think avatar have to follow rules. according to Vivekananda they can take on other ppl's karma. um... they must take on all frailties of human - Rama wept profoundly when Sita was kidnapped - but they dont necessecarily have to follow rules.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 The doosri radha is the extreme form of vaishnavism. The vaishnavism which most see today is necessarily moderated with filler philosphy's such as we do 50% and god does 50%. Just like Vishishta advaitha philosophy is means of perceiving bakthy as though evolved from vedas. But most of the estern bakthy movement and andal bakthy movement from south is all based on this extreme form. The devotee is considered to be just above any ambiguity or any lesser means of surrender, if he walks the streets singing bajans in the form of a radha or gopika. I consider BG as a very useful text to make sure that the vaishnavas tread the path of moderation. Without BG, the vaishnavas would have been harder to control from these extreme forms of worshiping krihsna (as a demigod, a limited saguna form). This worship embarassed the british which led to banning the bakthy movement of the east, which resurfaced far away in the west in a different brand name.
