xvi000 Posted November 14, 2001 Report Share Posted November 14, 2001 Some VaiSNavas asked whether KriSNa was full incarnation of ViSNu. Now I talk about my opinion. In Bhg., KriSNa introduced to Arjuna his 3 entities - Brahman (or PuruSa, bindu, Zarvan, Alla, God) ViSNu with 6 arms (or positive candra, GaruDa, Ormazd, Son) KriSNa with flesh (or infinite, God's incarnation) So this q. is no exact answer. The relative exact answer is God has no full incarnation. Refer to an excerpt of Diamond Sutra - -------- Subhuti asked: Will there be any beings in the future period, in the last time, in the last epoch, in the last 500 years, at the time of the collapse of the good doctrine who, when these words of the Sutra are being taught, will understand their truth? ... And these Bodhisattvas, Subhuti, will not be such as have honoured only one single Buddha, nor such as have planted their roots of merit under one single Buddha only. On the contrary, Subhuti, those Bodhisattvas who, when these words of the Sutra are being taught, will find even one single thought of serene faith, they will be such as have honoured many hundreds of thousands of Buddhas, such as have planted their roots of merit under many hundreds of thousands of Buddhas. -------- Now you know Buddha may be 0, 1, 2 or unlimited.

Tarun Posted December 3, 2001 Report Share Posted December 3, 2001 ZrIla BhaktiprajnAna Kezava Mhrj compiled "VaiSNav-vijaya" This book explains the difference between Buddha types. Basically there a 3 Buddha types: 1) ViSNu-empowered incarnation Buddha - GayA, VihAr Province 2) Saintly Buddhas - Nepal 3) False or less advanced Buddhas - too many Two Full Godhead Appearances/Incarnations in recent times: ZrI KRSNa BhagavAn in MathurA, Uttar-pradez 5,050 yrs ago. ZrI Chaitanya MahAprabhu in NavadvIp, Bengal 515 yrs ago. ZrI RAmacandra BhagavAn was almost full. Almost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
