  1. Bhagavata Purana states that Pariksit has died immediately after Taskara’s bite. The poison of that bite was so strong that Pariksit was immediately burned and reduced into ashes before the assembly, and that event was witnessed by countless sages, saint, muktas, and even by Vedavyasa himself by and Parasara.

    But Sanatana Goswami did not credit Bhagavata’s version on Pariksit’s death. In his Bhrad-bhagavatamrta Sanatana says that Pariksit has narrated Gopakumara’s adventures to his mother Uttara sooner after the winged-snake’s bite. According to Sanatana this narrative has taken some days before Pariksit could die, as ‘bhrad’ also means ‘long,’ or ‘big’ narrative; and so, as long as the Bhagavata’s narrative.

     

    So, is Sanatana contradicting Bhagavata? How to conciliate Sanatana’s version and Vedavyasa’s? For certain one cannot employ Madhva’s argument, that these are versions from two different kalpas.

    Why can't these two stories be from 'two different kalpas'.

     

    There is nothing in your post to show why this cannot be true. yi


  2. You can learn Sanksrit via the books of the Goswamis. There is one samhita bye J. Goswami that teaches Sanksrit through Hari-nama.

     

    On VNN.org, I believe the user Jagat stated that he created a learning package based on this.

     

    If this is true, maybe he can share his thoughts on that.

    ">Brahman

     

    =krishna ofcourse. Any verses from anywhere telling something like

    rudra=brahman must be dismissed. This will then make everything thoroughly

    consistent. There is no logic in this procedure, but people who point this out

    are indulging in chest beating. So don't you dare do any such thing."

    Brahman = dual-nondifferentiated consciousNess.

     

    Cheers.

  4. Like Manindranath Guha "The Holy Name is a Vaikuntha substance (Bhag. 6.2.14) that is, a substance without mutilation it

    does not become impure in any condition it does not not become corrupted by incursion of the faults

    of an offender or, in the semblance of the name it is not changed."

    Surays, give an interpretation on this verse.
