Dear Viji, Melvin was referring not to Lord Kapiladeva (son of Devahuti) but to another Kapila who taught atheism. That is why Srila Prabhupada, when he referred to Lord Kapiladeva, called his book also, Lord Kapiladeva, Son of Devahuti. >In Gita Lord Krishna gives equal importance >to both bhakthi yoga & Jnana yoga Bhakti yoga is supreme. For one cannot understand Krishna with intelligence. With intelligence one can only reach Brahman. But Krishna is not reached by jnana, only by love for Him.

Well I don't know if this is also an asana, but what came to my mind is that, with hands raised high in the air like Gauranga, is also very special. I heard an explanation that, instead doing pranama by joining hands before God (which indicates humbleness) Vaisnava raise their hands into the air as an indication of full surrender unto the Lord. Just wanted to share this...

Visnu is an incarnation of Krishna. This is what Lord Brahma stated: isvarah paramah krsna I could provide you with a beautiful explanation by Jiva Goswami where he proves that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. I will do when time admits. What you read is completely true animesh-ji. I'll get back to you

> So if you surrender to Radha, Krishna likes you more. Well or you could surrender to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Who is Radha Krishna combined. He is more merciful than Krishna because He has the mood of Radharani. Actually we (gaudiya vaisnavas) are followers of Radharani, not Krishna
