But really you will not be about to understand or appreciate any of this unless you experience it for yourself. Because in the beginning of the universe there was only Visnu and then a lotus flower grew from the navel of Lord Visnu and Lord Brahma was born on the top of that Lotus Flower. So there are six kinds of opulences: beauty, strength, wealth, fame, knowledge and renunciation. so form my point of view, Lord Krishna did stop time to preach Gita to arjuna and Guru Vedavyasa being His incarnation would surely know the Gita, and so he compiled it in the Mahabharata. It certainly is transient but true and this dynamics is permanent, real and distinct. The Bhagavad Gita begins here and ends with Krishna convincing Arjuna that in the grand scheme of things, he is only a pawn. I was an atheist since childhood, but just after reading bhagwad gita I transformed and now realized that there is nothing in this entire universe beyond Vasudeva. I read some stories from Brhad Bhagavadamrta written by Sanatana Goswami. Currently ISKCON is completely poisonous. Whatever opulences exist Krishna has them in full. Yes. Krishna consciousness begins with surrender. So he has prescribed the suitable medicine and the suitable diet. But we may have no taste for reading Prabhupada’s books and for chanting Hare Krishna. There is no question of inferior or superior. Even if we can not feel it acting in the beginning…, Just being a curious soul, I would like to know about how actually chanting 16 rounds of. Hello, The material world is something like a prison house. Krishna can do anything. We don’t have to worry so much about convincing others in the beginning. Everything in the Gita is timeless and it is just as relevant today as when Krishna spoke it 5000 years ago. You have a father and you have to call him your father, otherwise you are a fool. In some versions of the story, this was the first time Arjuna meets Krishna. That is our duty. Because in the brahmajoti there is no possibility of relationships because there is no personality there the bliss experienced by the spirit souls there is incomplete. Lord Brahma is the first born person within this universe. You just have to do it Prabhu. In some cases the spiritual master of disciple had already left his body before the disciple accepted the spiritual master. Krishna first appears to the broken-hearted Arjuna who is slumped and crying on the battlefield between the army’s of the Pandavas watching as his friends and neighbors on both sides shed blood. But it is not complete. Your email address will not be published. Just get it and read it. He is in our disciplic succession. if Lord Krishna didn’t stop time while preaching Gita to arjuna, if everyone could here the Lord’s preachings, then everyone in the battlefield would have come to know the essence of life and everyone would have surrendered to the Lord. Krishna said. This cow was her only means of support. We are the Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya Sampradaya so what we are teaching is coming through Madhavacharaya and his philosophy of dualism is not rejected by us but Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has extended this to acintya abeda beda tattva “Simultaneously one and different.” So Lord Caitanya has brought everything together. Including Mayapur. thank you. Reading Prabhupad’s books and Listening to his lectures. What u think for my asking i dont So to transform our consciousness from material life to spiritual life simply requires transforming our consciousness from material consciousness to spiritual consciousness. That is the point of Bhagavad-gita. my mistakes and give me a clue that u r their with me but baba not yet Required fields are marked *. Once when roaming in the Khandava Vana, Arjuna and Krishna met the god of fire, Agni. Srimad-Bhagavatam starts where the Bhagavad-gita ends. The two gods have a friendship themselves and the friendship between Arjuna and Krsna hints at the same friendship as the one shared between the two father gods (Katz 83). He is called the Paramatma and He is another manifestation of Krishna. Among Arjuna's wives is Subhadra, Krishna's sister, the son of Arjuna and Subhadra is Abhimanyu, who dies in the Kuruksetta war. When Krsna does this Duryodhana, unlike Arjuna, denies Krsna’s truth and even threatens him (Katz 234). told anything in any form im feeling very bad &getting cry for that This shows a preference for Krsna’s friendship with Arjuna over that of his family’s wishes. Yes. Brahma is the first disciple of Krishna [Visnu]. We can note here that a living entity forgets everything due to his change of body, but Krishna remembers because He does not change His eternal body full of knowledge and ever-increasing bliss. As well as this unconditional devotion to Krsna shows him to be representing of the warrior class and their specific dharma (Katz 235). He understood his pain and sufferings without Sudama uttering a word. Krsna approves right away exclaiming that Arjuna is the perfect match for his sister (Katz 63). That is the success of life. One who represents the great hero who is a perfect student and is in search of the truth (Katz 15); the other who portrays an advisor, seen as god or a more aware/enlightened version of the first man (Katz 15). The devotion of Arjuna to Krsna is spoken about in Arjuna and the Mahabharata by Katz. Please tell me -If Brahma was the first disciple of Lord Krishna according to parampara and Brahma was the first created being – how long ago was this? or language ? does Bg justify war? I know that eternally I belong only to him. Except of course by becoming Krishna conscious, then we can transcend everything in the material world including time. But to accept him as your guru you have to surrender to him and agree to do things that you probably don’t want to do. And the Hindu hodgepodge that you speak of is nonsense. Please if you have some time then guide me as to how I serve and love Krishna basically and then slowly and slowly I will try to elevate myself by reading the manual.I will be very much happy if you just guide me. I think that one of the aspects to develope is to wait the Krishna’s time to understand everytihg. Whatever realizations I have, whatever knowledge I have, it is simply from chanting Hare Krishna and reading Srila Prabhupada’s books. So if one actually reaches the Vaikuntha planets he does not return to the material world. Krishna is your father: aham bija prada pita: ‘I am the seed-giving father of all living entities.’ The Hindu idea of yato mat tato pat: “Whatever you believe, that is right…” is NONSENSE, RUBBISH. Their duo is an epitome of friendship and love. They may be able to put on a good show and ‘look the part’ but in actualityh they are completely unable to connect you to Krishna and completely unable to take you back home back to Godhead. It is debatable whether Arjuna proved to be a good husband to Draupadi, but he was certainly a brave and true man. That is the point of the Gita. Another similarity taken from this story would be that the two men know how to complement one another and by doing so how to fight off other warriors sufficiently. There are so many things in Krishna consciousness that are avan manasa gocara, beyond the ability of our minds to conceive and beyond the ability of our senses to perceive. This is one of the proofs that the living entities can never become equal to the Supreme Lord. And Krishna has all these opulences in full. Then how did the next person after arjuna in the new disciplic succession receive this knowledge? It is widely believed that the most important thing Krishna teaches Arjuna in the Bhagavad-gita is that “You should do your duty.” Krishna’s instructing Arjuna to do his duty as a ksatriya and fight in the battle is certainly a very strong theme in Bhagavad-gita: “Therefore, Arjuna, you should always think of Me, and at the same time you should … please guide us, There is no need for physical presence. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Meanwhile, the son of Takshaka named Asvasena escaped from the forest, assisted by his mother. I am simply trying to encourage people to chant Hare Krishna and read Prabhupada’s books. Time, as we experience it, only exists in the material world. In the beginning Arjuna did not want to fight and kill all his friends and family members. by Madhudvisa dasa | Full size image. All you need is a GBC appointed and approved guru…, Which is all lies…. Sri Krishna and Arjuna once were guests of a widow. Despite of that, I have some questions which have ot been answered in the letters mup to now. That is the difference between the part-and-parcel living entity and the Supreme Lord. I like it more than anything I've ever experienced before. d) Because being the son of queen Kunti . We believe there is no such element called maya according to our founder’s philosophy. That is the manual. You see young people listening to very loud heavy music and that creates a particular mentality, you see people listening to nice classical music and that creates another mentality. Choosing the moment to leave the body has nothing to do with ‘health’. They are even referred to as the two Krsnas in some versions of the Mahabharata, the common meaning being that the two are so completely in sync with one another they are simply one and the same mind but two beings (Bryant 25). In some versions of the story, this was the first time Arjuna meets Krishna. It is about two men who are about to prove themselves to their fathers, themselves and their worlds (Rajagoplachari 79). Six years ago I used to watch SHRI KRISHNA on my TV.I just cried and prayed Oh KRISHNA i want to see your childhood.At one night I dreamed of HIM.I saw only the face.Day and night I was fully carried away by the charming beauty.Recently i again experienced him around me.I want to know that why it happens only sometimes.I want to experience Him all the time.That sound of fluite,his prayers should always reverberate in my mind. Right after the Pandavas are exiled for thirteen years by Duryodhana they begin their journey into the forest. When put together these two men makeup a great team, which seems to represent god and man working together as one. So, how to get a guru if there is no benefit of joining ISKCON ? Thank you for this wonderful mail,I wanted to ask a question not on this topic but on something else. So when bona fide spiritual master says we can not offer onions and garlic to Krishna then we have to accept that, not argue with it. He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. But if we hear the transcendental sound vibrations of the Hare Krishna mantra that creates a spiritual mentality within us. Your uncle is wrong. I discovered that many questions I have about the articles had been answered in one future one. Before he surrendered to Krishna Arjuna put forward good arguments as to why they should not fight but his arguments were all based on the bodily concept of life. dear sir, They will fall back down into the cycle of birth and death again after some time.
