melvin Posted July 4, 2001 Report Share Posted July 4, 2001 Govinda-dharma according to the scriptures is man`s eternal occupational duty which is to serve God with love and devotion re- gardless of the nature and status of his present life. Ambarisa Maharaja for example. Although he was a king still he made a vow to come to the Ashram on weekends just to clean Govinda`s temple. It was his religion and that`s why it`s called Govinda-dharma. Note: The temple I`m referring to is your name@indiadivine.com. Similarly, the Dravidians(ancient people of India) in fact worshiped Brahma as the uni- fying element that make up the Trimurti or Trinity with Siva( god of destruction) and Vishnu(god of sacrifice) as the other two. That is not Govinda-dharma. Note: Please visit a Christian Church. In Hinduism, Rudra a minor Vedic divinity was exalted as Siva from whom the cult of Vairochana(6th cent. A.D.) was established in northwestern India, a ritual called Tan- trism that uses magic spells and charms to captivate a victim or benefactor or lover. That is not Govinda-dharma.

melvin Posted July 8, 2001 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2001 Govinda-dharma is a religion practiced by the devotees of Lord Krishna since time immemorial. The ancient people of India in fact placed their own impress on what they received and developed linga-worship (bhakti) devotion to Vishnu, a god incar- nate of Krishna, known as Govinda, a popu- lar legend at Mathura, whom they described as the romantic lover of 1000 herd girls and warrior in the west coast. Second only to Krishna is Rama, an Avatar who is consi- dered as the symbol of conjugal devotion. When both (Krishna and Rama) are linked, they are known as Hari-Hara, which formed the basis of chanting the Hare Krishna maha mantra. Equate them with an element, a per- son in Lord Brahma, and what you get is a Trimurti, or the so-called Holy Trinity. Brahmanism therefore followed Hinduism at various periods of time, imported from the Ganges Valley and patronized by the local rulers, but met opposition from the Jain follower named Vardhamana Mahavira(c.540- 468 B.C.) who elaborated the doctrines of an earlier prophet, Parsya, who vowed not to injure any life, to be truthful, not to steal and to possess no property, adding in turn chastity and asceticism as a means ro free man`s soul from the bondage of the ma- terial world. Every religion of the world speak some truth but nothing can compare if one speaks about the Supreme Personality of God, Govinda, who is known as Krishna. All other talks about this and that person means nothing to pure devotees like Srila Narada and Parvata Muni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
