krsna Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I can enter into a devotional trance instead of sleep. I can honor maha-prasad instead of eat. And I can procreate,i.e., bring devotee souls into the world instead of having illicit sex. But how do I give up defending? Do I defend my body which belongs to Krsna from Islamic terrorists? /images/graemlins/confused.gif Or do I defend the Vaisnava dharma from the onslaught of impersonalism? /images/graemlins/confused.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 you simply chant his names and glories, and leave the rest to him. Don't worry. If terrorists get you, that's Krishna's will. Practice ahimsa and chant maha-mantra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 No Krishna tells Arjun to fight in the Bhagvad Gita. We must defend ourselves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 All followers of Sanatana Dharma have a right to protect themselves. Don't be like Nero and dance while Rome is burning. Take up arms, if necessary and fight for your honor and your family's honor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Krishna actually said, "O Mighty-armed Arjuna, armed with renunciation and yoga, stand and fight". First arm with yoga and detachment ---- then fight. Otherwise it is just more nonsense jihad. And I think we've all had just quite enough of that. For eternity.
