madanvrao Posted July 20, 2003 Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 How should I convince new devotees that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The basic confusion is because Krishna is stated as one of the avataras in Dasha Avataar of Vishnu. Therefore, it is easier to convince that Vishnu is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and not Krishna. Though when I say quoting Srila Prabhupada's the Science of Self Realisation that Krishna is God because God is all attractive. Krishna means All Attractive. People still don't believe.

Govindaram Posted July 20, 2003 Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 Hare Krishna Madanji The confusion is with the word Avataar, people can get its meaning confused, Krishna descends to this material world AS HE IS, so 'descend' means avatar thats all. So Krishna descends (comes down) in His original spiritual form. Lord Vishnu and Krishna are the same. /images/graemlins/smile.gif The way I got attracted to Krishna is knowing that you can be friends with Him, that just I couldnt believe, but with Lord Vishnu you can only be a servant, in the Ramayana when Lord Rama ate even Sri Sitamata she couldnt eat from the same plate - what to say of Sri Hanuman, but Krishna The All-Attractive God allowed His dear friend Arjuna to eat from the same plate of food! Hope that helps in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madanvrao Posted July 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Yes! There are so many ways you can treat Krishna, which is not possible with Vishnu or Rama. You can treat Krishna in so many ways as for example Friend Philosopher Guide Guru Teacher Lover Your child Your father Your mother Can eat alongwith him Spank him if he is too naughty /images/graemlins/smile.gif Any other relationship anybody can think of?

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 2 verses you can use: Brahma Samhita 5.1 'isvara parama krishna/sac-cid-ananda vigraha / anadir adir govinda / sarva karana-karanam' and Srimad Bhagavatam 1.3.28 which has 'krsnas tu bhagavan svayam' 1.3.28. All of the above-mentioned incarnations are either plenary portions or portions of the plenary portions of the Lord, but Lord Sri Krsna is the original Personality of Godhead. All of them appear on planets whenever there is a disturbance created by the atheists. The Lord incarnates to protect the theists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
