Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hare krishna, srila prabupada ki jai, sri sri radha govinda ki jai. For ur question why there are lot of gods and goddess, first u have to understand this cosmic manisfestation, how was it created and for what purpose it was created. It is said in shastras that Govindam adi purisam ( Lord Govinda is the first person ), so lord govinda has expanded in many forms by his internal potency as demigods like brahma , vishnu, siva and 3 crores of demigods and by his external potency this material world and marginal potency we Jivas ( souls), so we have a chance to either be in his internal potency ( vaikuntha planets) or external energy ( material universal planets sorrounded by three modes of nature satva, rajo, tamo gunas ). For eg, as said by srila prabhupada , for running a government u need a lot of government servants as represenatatives , still if any one asks who is ruling the country we say the president, but actually he is a combination of all his represenatitives....in the same way supreme god Govinda expanded for the manifestation of this cosmic energy. Under modes of nature , satva, rajo, tamo guna, people according to their taste of living acts in this world, so going to this temple that temple is upto their consoiusness level, we have to go to the perfect spiritual master and serve him inorder to know god and not astrologers or some one, go to the authority. they should use their reasoning and try to understand it in a correct way. Every one is poor in this material world, once we come to this material world means we are poor in spiritual advancement, so we have been kicked here to strive to excel in spiritual advancement, even a rich man in money is also poor in spiritual advancement. so we have to serve the supreme lord Krishna in order to get back to permanent home in Vaikuntha, Goloka. Try to develop the consiousness of love which is sleeping in u by chanting HARE KRISHNA maha mantra, and see the world in a way u never experienced before, be practical, and tell me the result after 30 days......daily chant hare krishna 16 rounds...for any queries goto ur nearest ISKCON TEMPLE....hare krishna...............viswacheda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
