Vrindavan Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 Dear Devotees, Could someone help me to locate scripture reference to proof that Krishna is not human being? Thanks Your servant, Wu Chung Fai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raga Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 Srimad Bhagavata 1.3.27: kRSNas tu bhagavAn svayam -- "Krishna is Himself Bhagavan." This statement appears in a chapter which describes the prominent avataras of Vishnu. The chapter ends by declaring, ete cAMsa kalA puMsaH kRSNas tu bhagavAn svayam -- "These all are limbs and portions of Him, Krishna is Himself Bhagavan." Amsa and kala are technical terms for two different kinds of manifestations of Vishnu-tattva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raga Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 You may also want to read Bhagavad Gita, chapters 10 and 11. In chapter 10, Krishna describes His godly opulences, in chapter 11, Krishna shows His universal form, and in chapter 7 He declares that when He descends, fools do not understand the truth about Him, and His nature as the unborn and the inexhaustible. From fools he hides Himself by His yogamaya (spiritual energy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karthik_v Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 Hari Bol, May I request that whenever you post from BG or SB or any other scripture, you also post the verse number and English translation. Those who are pious Hindus here can figure out what you are talking about and cross-reference. But, most visitors may not be knowledgeable of these scriptures. So, it will encourage them to participate, if your posts are more explanatory. More so, when the threads are intitiated by guests and visitors.

Jahnava Nitai Das Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 avajananti mam mudha manusim tanum asritam param bhavam ajananto mama bhuta-mahesvaram "Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form. They do not know My transcendental nature and My supreme dominion over all that be." Bhagavad Gita 9.11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sha Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 Namaste friends! I have a message copied from another board about Lord Krishna.<center> ------------ Here is a WONDERFUL description in Srimad Bhagavatham by Sri VEDA VYASA, the Compiler of Vedas about HOW Lord Krishna WAS PERCIEVED by DIFFERENT people EVEN during His Advent! <font color="red"><big>mallAnAmazanir nRNAM naravaraHstrINAM smaro mUrtimAn gopAnAM svajano 'satAM kSitibhujAM zAstrA svapitroH zizuH, mRtyur bhoja pater virADa dUSAM tattvaM paraM yoginAm vrSNInAM paradevateti vidito raGgaM gataH sAgrajAH</font color></big> Srimad Bhagavatam- 10.43.17 When Lord Krishna, accompanied by His brother Balarama ENTERED the palace arena of king Kamsa, HE was percieved DIFFERENTLY by ALL those ASSEMBLED there, ACCORDING TO THEIR DESERVEDNESS and PURITY of THEIR HEARTS. The wrestlers saw Him as Thuderbolt. When they shook hands with Him, and FAILED to bend EVEN a Tender Finger of His, they DID NOT REALIZE that HE was NONE OTHER THAN the SUPREME BEING HIMSELF, possessing more strength than COUNTLESS WRESTLERS put together! The COMMON people SAW Him as an Active and Intelligent Kid! The YOUNG maidens, ENRAPTURED by His Divine Beauty, SAW Him as Kamadeva (god of beauty and love)in Personified Form! The Gopas, cowherd boys SAW Him as their DEAR MOST FRIEND! His Parents affectionately looked at Him as Their Darling Child! For King Kamsa, HE was the VERITABLE GOD OF DEATH, Yamaraja, in Fearful Form! The wicked-minded people saw Him as a Gigantic Person with thousands of heads, thousands of eyes, thousands of hands, and the flames of thousands of suns leaping out from His mouth! They began TREMBLING with FEAR percieving this FORMIDABLE form! The YOGIS SAW Him as the SUPREME PARAMATMA, the ABSOLUTE TRUTH! The DEVOTEES of the Yadava clan SAW Him as Their Family Deity! The SAME SITUATION WAS descibed by Saint Tulsidas in 'Rama Carita Manas'. Sri Tulasidas had taken SPECIAL care to REVEAL THIS FACT! When Lord Ramacandra stood in the palace of King Janaka to lift the Mighty Bow of Lord Siva, EVERYONE SAW HIM IN DIFFERENT FORMS ACCORDING TO THEIR INDIVIDUAL PURITY OF MIND AND HEART ! <font color="red"><big>jAkI rahI bhAvanA jaisI prabhu mUrati dekhI tina taisI</font color></big> The warriors SAW Him as the very EMBODIMENT of STRENGTH and HEROISM! The wicked kings TREMBLED at the VERY SIGHT of Him, as they SAW a TERRIBLE Form! The demons who were sitting there disguised as princes, BEHELD the LORD as DEATH in PERSONIFIED Form! The WISE MEN SAW Him in His Cosmic Form ! To the YOGIS and Saints He SHONE forth as the HIGHEST TRUTH! The DEVOTEES SAW Him as their BELOVED LORD RAMA, the FOUNTAINHEAD OF BLISS !! The EMOTIONS of Mother Sita Devi WERE INDESCRIBABLE !!! We CAN NEVER PERCIEVE the TRUE DIVINE Form of God with our DEFECTIVE VISION. Sri Tulasi das DECLARES - <font color="red"><big>cidAnanda maya deha tumhArI vigata vikAra jAna adhikArI</font color></big> The DIVINE FORM of Lord can NEVER BE SEEN with MATERIAL EYES! WE REQUIRE DIVINE VISION TO PERCIEVE HIM ! WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND HIS DIVINITY and WE CAN NOT ATTAIN the DIVINE VISION as yet, because WE DO NOT DESERVE IT !!!
