Guest guest Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 apparently there is a class of vaisnava that thinks identical means the same thing as one and different. i have shown numerous places in shastra where Radha and Krishna are described as being identical,non different,one and the same, one person two forms, etc,etc,. yet there is some who consider this to be like saying bheda-abheda,one and different. How is this ? Identical means one and the same, not one and different. non different does not mean one and different. where is this bogus conception coming from ? We are told that all expansions of god are non different,although at the same time they are described as displaying varying degrees of attributes,with Radha and Krishna being the full embodiment of all attributes. All of them being the same supreme being, although Ramachandra is displaying less then Krishna,still they are non different, one and the same supreme being. the same goes for all of the various aspects of God,all are non different,although they can be classified by the attributes or function they display. this is not bheda-abheda. bheda-abheda is not the same at all. We are one and different in our relationship with God. we are not non different. We are one AND different. Radha ,Krishna and all of the other aspects of God are non different,NOT one and different. this is actual gaudiya siddhanta apparently there is a class of vaisnava that thinks identical means the same thing as one and different. i have shown numerous places in shastra where Radha and Krishna are described as being identical,non different,one and the same, one person two forms, etc,etc,. yet there is some who consider this to be like saying bheda-abheda,one and different.
