Are you talking about Brahmani, Vaishnavi, Rudrani, Varahi, etc... ?

You are asking your brothers and sisters to send you a naked picture of Our Mother after you've admitted to feeling lustful for Her. I don't think anyone will comply with your wish.

Why wouldn't He?

Maybe it's also including governers, mayors... presidents of boy-band fan clubs ...

Thanks Indulekha Ji! I always enjoy your posts. They always enlighten me in some way or another! Jai Sri Radharani

Firstly, when you talk about Vishnu's incarnations (or Krishna's incarnations) you are talking about the same person. Krishna is nondifferent from Rama is nondifferent from Vishnu. The only difference is in Their pastimes. Secondly: "I will declare the mighty deeds of Vishnu, of him who measured out the earthly regions, Who propped the highest place of congregation, thrice setting down his footstep, widely striding. For this his mighty deed is Vishnu lauded, like some wild beast, dread, prowling, mountain-roaming; He within whose three wide-extended paces all living creatures have their habitation. Let the hymn lift itself as strength to Vishnu, the Bull far-striding, dwelling on the mountains, Him who alone with triple step hath measured this common dwelling-place, long, far extended. Him whose three places that are filled with sweetness, imperishable, joy as it may list them, Who verily alone upholds the threefold, the earth, the heaven, and all living creatures. May I attain to that his well-loved mansion where men devoted to the Gods are happy. For there springs, close akin to the Wide-Strider, the well of meath in Vishnu's highest footstep. Fain would we go unto your dwelling-places where there are many-horned and nimble oxen, For mightily, there, shineth down upon us the widely-striding Bull's sublimest mansion." --Rig Veda 1.154

I agree, this mini-conversation really has nothing to do with this thread. That's a really good point.

Oui, c'est un forum en anglais, pas en francais. Avoir la francais, et... hello English!

Thanks for the encouragement, Indulekha Ji.

I agree that the persecution of polygamists is wrong, and it may have something to do with current popular religion in the United States (which, I really don't understand why any Christians are against polygamy, since nearly all of their male religious figures were polygamists). As far as homosexuality being natural or not, dying one's hair also isn't natural. Niether is piercing the ears or nose. Or even wearing makeup. People do it anyway, even though it's obviously not natural. I don't think that's sinful. It's probably not what Krishna intended (per-se) when He created the first human beings, but I don't think He thinks it's sinful to pierce yourself or dye your hair or wear makeup. So, if all of these unnatural practices can be accepted, then why not homosexuality? People who decorate themselves aren't hurting anyone but themselves by doing such things, and neither are homosexuals. So, I really don't see the problem. I think this was a special case though, since it has been reported by several ex-members that there were child marriages going on (not to mention how many young girls are pregnant within the compound). But, I don't think the parents should be kept from their parents. That's very cruel to both the parents and the children. Of course, these are just my opinions, and I'm not trying to force them on anyone. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

That's cool. Lots of people think that. I personally don't prescribe to that view, but I respect those who do. Avatar or not, he was a very pious man who showed love to many people.

I was responding to people who think that (willful) polygamy is wrong and (willful) homosexuality is wrong. I really don't see anything wrong with either one (in a secular setting, that is). As long as it's their choice. Of course, everyone has their own opinion. I was just stating my own.

I think people should be able to have whatever sexual freedoms they would like (as long as they aren't hurting anyone) in a secular-style government (which is, quite honestly, the kind of government I like).

I saw a television show that said that many geniuses have problems speaking. So, I really wouldn't worry about it. Maybe it's just a sign of your high IQ! Jai Sri Radharani

That'd be pretty cool I kinda miss my status as a Member

I'm guessing he went to the hellish realms. He was a horrible man, and whatever punishment he gets in his future lives, he definitely deserves. He may have studied the Gita, but he obviously got nothing out of it.

I agree. I think he was a saint, but not God.

Ah-oui! Un Francophone! Je parle un petit peut de Francais de temps en temps.

But He wasn't in Goloka Vrindavan at that time. Right now, He's probably wrestling with the gopas, playing in the Yamuna with Radharani, or stealing butter from Mother Yashoda. But, yes, of course the Lord is serious at times, and the Gita is certainly no laughing matter.

I agree. We should just love God, whatever we choose to call Him. I am more drawn to Radharani. She is Lord Krishna's Hladini Shakti after all.

She was totally insane. She was married to an Indian man, yet she supported the massacre of the Roma people (the closest relatives to South Asians in Europe). You can read about her here: tp://www.savitridevi.org/ It includes some of her psychotic literature (I can't even believe there are still people who follow her ludicrous ideas).

It sounds kinda like "Hare Ram" Jai Sita-Ram

That's exactly what I said How do you feel about Shridi Sai Baba, Indulekha Ji and Baobabtree? From what I know of his teachings (which is admittedly very little), I like him.

Me too. I can't stand people that take it so seriously. Krishna takes hardly anything seriously in Goloka! Why should we? Krishna loves to have fun, and I think He likes His devotees to have fun, too.

Makes me think of Savitri Devi (blech!). Her disgusting blend of Nazism and Vaishnavism (she said that Hitler was Lord Kalki) makes me want to throw up.
