Jagadguru Shree Kripaaluji Mahaaraaj. Jagadguru Shri Kripaluji Maharaj is a true "Mahapurush"....here is his brief life history. Sharat Poornima is the famous full moon night of October when Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani revealed the true Vrindaban Bliss about 5,000 years ago that enticed the heart of God Shiv. Kripaluji Maharaj is lovingly called Maharajji by his devotees. Since childhood his extraordinary virtues were noticed by the people. (As a custom of the family, his elderly people got him married at an early age.) When he was around fourteen years of age he went to Indore to study Sanskrit literature, and, to the amazement of the teachers of that institution, whatever topic he chose to study, he mastered all of them within two years. Total absorbment in absolute Divine love He was now around sixteen years of age. He resumed his natural Divine nature, and, at that time, whoever had seen him, would have glimpsed the true form of Radha Krishn love, appearing in its fullest charm of highest ecstatic excitement… Remaining in that state of absolute engrossment, he walked to Chitrakoot and Sharbhang and Graced the deserving souls living there. Shree Maharajji then moved towards Sharbhang and Graced a devotee of gopi bhao who was deeply longing for Krishn’s vision. In the same state of Divinely-absorbed-consciousness he moved towards Mahoba and then to Jhansi. People of this world could not see the Divineness of Maharajji’s body, but still they saw the physical expressions of his Bhao. The pious people who saw him were amazed to see his Bhao state and thus they took the privilege to invite him to their houses. In this way, there were a number of families in whose house he stayed, somewhere a few hours and somewhere a day or two, but he was constantly twenty-four hours in Bhao. Day and night made no difference for him. In those days people used to call him Paramhansji because he was always in an absolute state of Radha Krishn love. For about two years he stayed in that state. Around 1940 he came to Vrindaban. Swooning while he uttered ‘Krishn, Krishn,’ dancing in ecstasy, and loudly laughing in ecstatic excitement, his presence in Vrindaban excited the hearts of the devotees who saw him. News about him spread around and a few devotees with a longing heart came from Mathura to invite him to their house. Shree Maharajji now decided to introduce the true Braj ras to the souls of this world as Radha Rani and Shree Krishn gave about 5,000 years ago and Shree Chaitanya Mahaprabhuji showered the same nectar of Krishn love about 500 years ago. Being always absorbed in the ecstatic states of Radha Bhao, it was hard to communicate with the people. So, for the good of the souls, he subsided his Bhao state to some extent and decided to reveal the leela Bliss of Radha Krishn to the people in general through regular satsang which mainly contained the chanting (sankirtan) of the names, virtues and the leelas of Radha Krishn. He started his satsang in the houses of the devotees in Mathura, and then in Agra and Allahabad, and so on. The Bhavavesh state His sankirtan programs of those days were like the vivid glow of Radha Krishn love that touched every heart, inspired everyone who was there and thrilled every soul who desired Krishn love. Quite often he revealed the Bliss of ‘Hari Bol...’ in his Bhavavesh ecstasy during satsang. Chaitanya Mahaprabhuji, who was the descension of Radha Rani, showered the true nectar of Krishn name through the chanting of ‘Hare Ram...’ and revealed the most amazing ecstatic state of Radha Bhao in his ‘Hari Bol...’ chanting which happened only during the ecstasy (Bhavavesh). According to the known history of the rasik Saints, these eminent states of Radha Krishn love were revealed on the earth planet by Chaitanya Mahaprabhuji for the first time in the last 5,000 years. The same expressions of Divine love were seen in Shree Kripaluji Maharaj when he chanted ‘Hare Ram...’ and sang ‘Hari Bol...’ in ecstasy. Thus, resounding Uttar Pradesh (Agra, Mathura, Allahabad, etc.) with ‘Hari Bol...’ he again came back to Mahu in early 1942. Apart from nam sankirtan, he began to sing leela pad (songs) also. Distributing Braj ras While in Mahu he freely distributed the Bliss of Krishn name through nam sankirtan. He frequently visited Mandaleshwar and Maheshwar and had nonstop nam sankirtan programs of mostly one to two weeks or even more in those places and also near the Narmada river. Once in Gopal Mandir in Mahu a 15 days’ nam sankirtan was organized, but slowly it stretched up to 4 months. The devotees, everyday, had new devotional experiences. All the devotees of Maheshwar, Mandaleshwar and Mahu were very close to Shree Maharajji like a family. You have to understand the kind and class of the Divine Bliss which Shree Maharajji is giving, the magnitude of the Divine love he is revealing, and the extent of Graciousness which he is showering upon all the souls. When a devotee hears or reads that the ‘Hari Bol’ chanting of Chaitanya Mahaprabhuji enticed even the wild beasts, he forms a great Divine image of that event. But when he sees the Bhao state of Shree Maharajji during the chanting or he sees Shree Maharajji’s ‘Hari Bol’ chanting (on video) his material mind fails to comprehend its Divine greatness because its Divinity could only be experienced by a Divine personality and its devotional effects could be experienced by a dedicated devotional mind to the extent of its purity and the understanding of its value. So, it is most important that a devotee should understand the Divine greatness of Shree Maharajji’s satsang and chanting to receive its full benefit. Revealing the Divine literature and being honored as supreme Jagadguru of this age On the request of the devotees, Shree Maharajji documented the devotional philosophy of Krishn love “Prem Ras Siddhant” in 1955. He called for one of the devotees and dictated the whole book with Sanskrit quotations of scriptures (although he had never read those scriptures). The devotee was incredibly amazed at the scriptural omniscience of Shree Maharajji. In October 1955 he organized a religious convention in Chitrakoot in which the prominent spiritual leaders of India and the Jagadgurus participated. Mahamahopadhyay Giridhar Sharma, President of Kashi Vidvat Parishad, had also come and was thrilled with the Divine dignity and the Divine knowledge (of the Bhartiya scriptures) of Shree Maharajji. Another convention was organized in 1956 in Kanpur. In the Kanpur convention the chief secretary of Kashi Vidvat Parishad, Shree Raj Narain, Shat Shastree, who was a great learned person and a popular scholarly figure of Varanasi, happened to come and listen to Shree Maharajji’s discourse. He was so overtaken with the unparalleled scriptural wisdom of Shree Maharajji that, in his speech (on the second day of the seminar) he said, “We, the scholars of Kashi, have great self-esteem of our scriptural learning. But personally what I have experienced here has opened my eyes. I feel blessed to have the opportunity of being near Shree Kripaluji Maharaj whose unfathomed scriptural wisdom and absorbment in Divine love at the same time is the authentication of his Divine excellence. I urge the congregation to recognize the Divine greatness of Shree Maharajji, listen to his teachings carefully, try to imbibe it into your life, and make your life blissful forever. It is our great luck that such a Divine personality is among us. We have to make use of this Divine opportunity.” When he went back home, on behalf of the Kashi Vidvat Parishad, he invited Shree Maharajji to Grace the scholars and the pandits of Varanasi with his Divine speech; and thus, Shree Maharajji went to Kashi in 1957. His speeches went on for seven days. The congregation had almost all the scholars of Varanasi and also many others who came from other provinces of India. They had never seen such a Divine personality who is absolutely well versed in all of the scriptures (Vedas, Upnishads, Sutras, Upvedas, Vedangas, Darshan Shastras, Puranas, Itihas, the philosophies of the Jagadgurus and the writings of the rasik Saints etc.), and, at the same time, he was humble, kind and absorbed in Radha Krishn Bhao, which radiated from his personality. Now, the learned pandits of Kashi Vidvat Parishad took the privilege of honoring Shree Maharajji with the flowers of their appreciation and praised their fortune to have the opportunity to worship him as the Supreme Jagadguru of this age . He is thus the fifth original Jagadguru in the last 5,000 years. Prior to him there were only four original Jagadgurus: Jagadguru Nimbarkacharya (before 600 BC), Jagadguru Shankaracharya (509-477 BC), Jagadguru Ramanujacharya (1017-1137 AD) and Jagadguru Madhvacharya (13th century). His philosophy and teachings: He did not write his separate philosophy. He accepts the Shat Sandarbh of Jeev Goswami and says that the Bhagwatam is the complete and final scriptural authority. But the most important thing which he did was the reconciliation of the differences that appear in the philosophies of other Jagadgurus and the Darshan Shastras and established the true theme of the scriptures. Thus, he removed all the philosophical controversies that prevailed for hundreds of years and for this reason the learned pandits of Kashi also called him which means the supreme acharya of this age who has reconciled the philosophies of all the Darshan Shastras. Shree Maharajji says that the desired goal of a soul is to receive the selfless Divine love of Radha Krishn. They are the Soul of your soul and are eternally related to you. Knowing this, you have to develop a deep desire to selflessly serve Them and love Them and strengthen your faith in Them. Keeping away from bad associations, yearningly remember Them and chant Their name and the leelas. That’s all you have to do and leave the rest upon Them. Just remember that They are yours and you belong to Them. They are most kind and causelessly merciful ; They will do the best for you. About five hundred years ago when the great Masters wrote their books, Sanskrit was the common scholarly language. But nowadays the social situation has changed and fewer people learn Sanskrit. So, for the convenience of the majority of the people, Shree Maharajji has revealed his philosophical and devotional books in the Hindi language. His writings are: Prem Ras Siddhant (the philosophy of Divine love), Prem Ras Madira (the 1008 leela songs of Radha Krishn), Bhakti Shatak (the concise philosophy of the Upnishads, Gita, Brahm Sutra and the Bhagwatam written in an easy to understand style), Braj Ras Madhuri (the chanting book), Radha Govind Geet (eleven thousand one hundred and eleven couplets of Radha Krishn leelas and the devotional philosophy), Yugal Shatak, Yugal Ras, Shree Krishn Dwadashi and Shree Radha Trayodashi. Up till now he is still revealing new chantings. His unlimited Grace on the souls From the early morning until he goes to bed, Shree Maharajji is among the devotees showering the nectar of Krishn love in many ways. Sometimes he is playfully talking with the devotees, sometimes he is giving darshan, sometimes he is walking among the devotees in the satsang hall and giving them a feeling of closeness with him, sometimes he is introducing a new line of chanting, sometimes he is giving a devotional speech, and so on. Chanting of the names, virtues and the leelas is always going on wherever Shree Maharajji stays. Shree Maharajji mostly resides in his ashrams at Mangarh, Barsana and Vrindaban. Thousands of people visit these Divine centers to have Shree Maharajji’s darshan and to participate in ecstatic chanting programs and celebrations like Holi, Guru Poornima, Janmashtmi, Radha Ashtmi, Sharat Poornima, and Divali etc. Sometimes Shree Maharajji visits different cities and towns of India to enlighten the hearts and minds of the huge audiences that gather to hear his explanations of the Divine philosophy. His vivid descriptions of Radha Krishn leelas and virtues thrill the audience with the experience of Krishn love. In March, 2002 a historical event took place when Shree Maharajji went to Jagannath Puri in Orissa during his visit to Bhuvaneshwar and gave his darshan to thousands of enthusiastic devotees. In Bhuvaneshwar he Graced the enormous crowds with the Divine knowledge in his amazing discourses and imparted devotional love into the hearts of the devotees through his powerful chantings of Radha Krishn name. Shree Maharajji’s entire life is the revelation of the state of Radha Krishn love. I'd like to tell all you readers here that i'm not a frantic maddened guy or Shree Krupaaluji's media distributor, who is banging drums around the streets to claim some numbskulls. i really mean that Shree Kripaaluji mahaaraaj is not an ordinary soul. It really hurts me that some soul here, is disturbed to have read about someone other than Srila Prabhupadji? I'm sure Srila Prabhupadji never taught this nonsense! Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj says... * This world is most necessary. This world is as necessary as God. The world is for your body and God is for your soul. God is not for your body. The world is not for your soul. They should stay in their own departments. * Austerity, yog, or vigorous practice of meditation etc., are never required in order to receive Grace of Radha Krishn as They are causelessly merciful by nature. Just have unflinching faith in Them. That's all you have to do. Your eternally ruined luck will be instantly transformed and you will become Theirs forever. * Obtain the true knowledge of soul, maya and God from a Spiritual Master. * True surrender is to join your mind with the Divine Spiritual Master by obeying his instructions without any questions or hesitation. * It is the nature of the mind to love someone, now lovingly attach your mind only to God. * And always feel that God and the Spiritual Master are with you. With whatever time you have available, bring God and the Spiritual Master into your mind. Remember them. Then your heart will keep purifying. * First, meditate upon the form of Krishn according to your liking. Meditation means lovingly remembering Krishn (Radha Krishn) while trying to imagine that He is present near you in His Divine form. * If a person meditates on the form of Radha Krishn with the intention of receiving His vision and love, his meditation will be called remembrance, divine-love consciousness or raganuga bhakti. * Bhakti is the recognition of our sweet relationship with Krishn. It directly relates to God Krishn Who is beyond this world of maya. * Shed tears of love and separation, and ask Krishn for His Divine love and Divine vision. * Understand from your Spiritual Master your true relationship with your beloved God. * Only through selfless bhakti one can truly understand God and have His vision. Because Divine love (bhakti) is the inner power of God. Thus bhakti is supreme.

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="85%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width="100%"> TULSIDAS <CENTER></CENTER> Ramcharitmanas is Tulsidas’s magnum opus. He is also the author of several other works including Vinaya Patrika, Gitavali, Dohavali and Kavitavali. His minor works include Baravai Ramayana, Janaki Mangal, Ramalala Nahachhu, Ramajna Prashna, Parvati Mangal, Krishna Gitavali, Hanuman Bahuka, Sankata Mochana and Vairagya Sandipini. Furthermore, he is the seer of the Hanuman Chalisa, a powerful and popular mantra for Hanuman, in 40 verses. <O:P> </O:P> The writings of Tulsidas, especially the Ramcharitmanas are works of great literary merit, as well as being examples of an extraordinary combination of supreme devotion and pure non-dualistic philosophy Tulsidas was born in Rajpur, in the district of Banda in Uttar Pradesh, in Samvat 1589 or 1532 A.D. He was a Sarayuparina Brahmin by birth and is regarded as an incarnation of Valmiki, the author of Ramayana written in Sanskrit. His father’s name was Atmaram Shukla Dube and his mother’s name Hulsi. Tulsidas did not cry at the time of his birth. He was born with all the thirty-two teeth intact. In childhood his name was Tulsiram or Ram Bola. Tulsidas’s wife’s name was Buddhimati (Ratnavali). Tulsidas’s son’s name was Tarak. Tulsidas was passionately attached to his wife. He could not bear even a day’s separation from her. One day his wife went to her father’s house without informing her husband. Tulsidas stealthily went to see her at night at his father-in-law’s house. This produced a sense of shame in Buddhimati. She said to Tulsidas, "My body is but a network of flesh and bones. If you would develop for Lord Rama even half the love that you have for my filthy body, you would certainly cross the ocean of Samsara and attain immortality and eternal bliss". These words pierced the heart of Tulsidas like an arrow. He did not stay there even for a moment. He abandoned home and became an ascetic. He spent fourteen years in visiting the various sacred places of pilgrimage. While returning from answering the calls of nature, Tulsidas used to throw the water that was left in his water-pot at the roots of a tree which a spirit was occupying. The spirit was very much pleased with Tulsidas. The spirit said, "O man! Get a boon from me". Tulsidas replied, "Let me have Darshan of Lord Rama". The spirit said, "Go to the Hanuman temple. There Hanuman comes in the guise of a leper to hear the Ramayan as the first hearer and leaves the place last of all. Get hold of him. He will help you". Accordingly, Tulsidas met Hanuman, and through His grace, had Darshan or vision of Lord Rama. Tulsidas wrote twelve books. The most famous book is his Ramayan—Ram-charit-manas—in Hindi. He wrote this book under the directions of Hanuman. This Ramayan is read and worshipped with great reverence in every Hindu home in Northern India. It is an inspiring book. It contains sweet couplets in beautiful rhyme. Vinaya Patrika is another important book written by Tulsidas. Some thieves came to Tulsidas’s Ashram to take away his goods. They saw a blue-complexioned guard, with bow and arrow in his hands, keeping watch at the gate. Wherever they moved, the guard followed them. They were frightened. In the morning they asked Tulsidas, "O venerable saint! We saw a young guard with bow and arrow in his hands at the gate of your residence. Who is this man?" Tulsidas remained silent and wept. He came to know that Lord Rama Himself had been taking the trouble to protect his goods. He at once distributed all his wealth among the poor. Tulsidas lived in Ayodhya for some time. Then he shifted to Varanasi. One day a murderer came and cried, "For the love of Rama give me alms. I am a murderer". Tulsi called him to his house, gave him sacred food which had been offered to the Lord and declared that the murderer was purified. The Brahmins of Varanasi reproached Tulsidas and said, "How can the sin of a murderer be absolved? How could you eat with him? If the sacred bull of Siva—Nandi—would eat from the hands of the murderer, then only we would accept that he had been purified". Then the murderer was taken to the temple and the bull ate from his hands. The Brahmins were put to shame. Tulsidas once went to Brindavan. He visited a temple. He saw the image of Lord Krishna. He said, "How shall I describe Thy beauty, O Lord! But Tulsi will bow his head only when You take up bow and arrow in Your hands". The Lord revealed Himself before Tulsidas in the form of Lord Rama with bow and arrows. Tulsidas’s blessings brought the dead husband of a poor woman back to life. The Moghul emperor at Delhi came to know of the great miracle done by Tulsidas. He sent for Tulsidas. Tulsidas came to the emperor’s court. The emperor asked the saint to perform some miracle. Tulsidas replied, "I have no superhuman power. I know only the name of Rama". The emperor put Tulsi in prison and said, "I will release you only if you show me a miracle". Tulsi then prayed to Hanuman. Countless bands of powerful monkeys entered the royal court. The emperor got frightened and said, "O saint, forgive me. I know your greatness now". He at once released Tulsi from prison. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Thanks.... But I don't own a cow...

Yes.....only royal family members and or the members of the king's court could hunt...not every khatria....brahman members in the court never even accompanied the king...the king or his knights did not hunt whenever they wished...auspicious months were chosen for hunting....kings took pleasure in it and does its a sport ..... some Rajputs still practice on this tradition with the exception being instead of hunting wildlife they hunt small rabbits etc that also in a controlled enviorment...

Well, I guess u are right...why only the cow why not other animals...vedas do consider all life to be sacred. I guess u didn't understand the view...cow slaughtering is to be banned because of the religious importance that animal holds in hindu society. In pre-islamic India animals were hunted just for sports not for satisfying the tongue..Brahmans were forbidden to eat any sort of meat....many khatrias also avoided themselves from such non-vegeterian diets...."Madwadi" sect still practices vegeterian diets....even egg was & is forbidden.... Hunting an animal for sport (Carnivorous and other forest wildlife ofcourse) ensures balance in nature. We (the society that stayed with the Vedas) never were non-vegeterian society.....INVATION BY ISLAMIC ROBBERS forced us and in time almost changed our social diet:eek2: Hinduism and how cow slaughtering is degrading the values of hindu society is to be focused not animal protection....

I agree....but even with the same principles many sampradayas aren't working to stop cow slaughtering...as far as they have done is to buil a number of "Gaau shaalas". I saw a news about cows being exported to Bangladesh by one of such "Gaau shaalas"...which was funded by a very famous Hindu organization. What does this mean? well hindus are becoming great dealers by selling their own mothers... If the other religions cannot co-operate with us only on one issue how do they expect us to co-operate with theirs....their social rules always seems to come in our way...we rarely say anything except for fanatic hindu activist leaders who speaks mindless violence

Hindus consider cow as the most sacred of all animal. No, other religion in the world has shown so much respect for any other animal that Hindus have shown towards the cow. From a cows milk to its urine and dung everything is considered holy and also said to posses medicinal values. With so much respect for an animal that even is associated with the bhakti of Lord Krsna why do you think cow slaughtering is not banned in India? Even the directive principles states cow kiling should be banned. Gandhi himself protested against killing of a cow. Are hindus in India doesn't care that a sin is committed near their house or are they still afraid that mighty mughal kings will slaughter them if they protest against their favourite meal? What ever be the reason HINDUS have become etremely co-operative and flexible in main:smash: taning their culture and religion founded by the VEDAS.

Since its inception the UAW is actively engaged in conducting underwater archaeological studies in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:" /><o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p> The UAW is engaged in – <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-list: l14 level1 lfo1">Documentation of underwater sites and ancient shipwrecks<o:p></o:p> <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-list: l14 level1 lfo1">Training of professional archaeologists, young researchers and students<o:p></o:p> <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-list: l14 level1 lfo1">Conduct of seminars to discuss various aspects and to bring awareness<o:p></o:p> Protection of underwater cultural heritage<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> UAW collaborates with other government organizations for the study and protection of underwater cultural heritage.

Adoption of “Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage” by UNESCO in 2001 displays the global concern about the protection and management of underwater cultural heritage. UAW has initiated steps for the protection and presrvation of the underwater cultural heritage. All this information justifies that ASI gets a fund which is enough to carry out such excavations. The Archaeological Survey of India is the premier organization so far as the archaeological research, data based study on scientific analysis, excavation of archaeological sites, conservation/preservation of centrally protected monuments, maintenance of site museums and overall regulation of antiquities and art objects are concerned. <o:p></o:p> It is an attached office under the Ministry of Culture, which is headed by the Union Minister for Culture. The Ministry of Culture has a Secretary level officer, who looks after various attached and subordinate offices in the Department. Being an attached office, the Archaeological Survey of India has its own head designated as Director General. An Additional Director General, two Joint Director general and a group of Directors assist the Director General, inturn. At present there are 17 Directors assisting the Director General in performing his duties. For administrative convenience and research purposes, the ASI is divided into 24 Circles headed by a Superintending Archaeologist (S.A.), who is further assisted by Deputy Superintending Archaeologist (Dy.S.A.), Deputy Superintending Archaeological Engineer (Dy.S.A.E.), Assistant Superintending Archaeologist (A.S.A.), Assistant Superintending Archaeological Engineer (A.S.A.E.), Assistant Arcaeologists (A.As.) & Conservation Assistants (C.As.). There are 6 Excavation Branches, 1 Prehistory Branch, 1 Building Survey Project, 2 Temple Survey Projects, 2 Epigraphy Branches, 1 Science Branch and Underwater Archaeology Wing functioning in the Archaeological Survey of India on different field and research projects. All the posts mentioned above are dominated by hindus and they are not interested in their own "Religion"....politics seems to have very little effects on their activities since international organizations takes keen interest in their works.

Will Bharat (India) ever become a hindu theoratic nation? RSS (Rashtriya Sevak Sangh), BHP (Bharatiya Hindu Parishad) and many other big or small hindu activist groups has the main objective to make India into a theoratic country. Since, independence all of this groups has done nothing in order to accompolish this except for promoting mindless violence and meaningless fanatic speeches by their leders in and around rural areas in north India. Does any hindu still wants the country to be governed by such a constitution which will promote and strengthen hinduism? Will such a goverment appear soon in the near future? Can anyone tell me something about this activist groups and what have they done in this matter?

Can the ruins of "Dwarka" be located beneath the Arabian sea near Gujrat? All I can say is that ASI (Archaelogical Survey of India) had done & is doing very little in order to preserve and find ruins of "Dwarka". All the ruins that are found relating to this city are either on the mainland or near the cost. No, marine excavating team has ever searched the bottom of the Arabian sea. Either people has very little believe in the "Mahabharata" or some of them don't want their western masters to be displeased with new findings which will change their "Aryan vs Dravidian" theory. p.s : Please paankaja daasa don't blame this also on Jagadguru Shri Kripaluji Maharaj.

If Lord Vishnu isn't the parah brahm then why would the devtas including Indra seek "Raksha" from him during samudra mantan...first to take incarnation as Kurma avatar ...secondly, as mohini in order to prohibit the Assurs from drinking the amrit.... Even veda says that brahma, lord shiva was created from him... And what with the anti-hindu mentality u are showing .... The mantras that fall under the Karma dharma richas are mostly about Indra dev because performin karma dharma rewards one to go to heaven and since King of Swarga is Indra Dev all the 80,000 mantras of karma dharma richas point to him...... What makes u think that god needs to make himself immortal by drinking amrita and can also loose wars from assurs.... Mahabharat: Indra Dev appologize to lord Krsna after the Goverdhan leela is performed by Lord krna. Indra dev even asked lord vishnu to bless him with the most beatiful woman "Urvashi"...now this is work done by a soul trapped under maaya....lord is not trapped under maaya.... Puranas are Bhaw Prakasha of the Vedas....Brahma himself said after "Manthing" the veda that Bhakti of Lord Krsna is the only way one can defeat maaya..... Bhakti is the most easiest sadhna one can perform henceforth only 20,000 richas for Bhakti and Gyaan marg:smash:

Puranas are the Bhaw Prakash of the Veda

Indradeo is not lord he is the king of devatas meaning being of swarga, controllers of elements as seen by today's morons...but they cannot control the maayaa shakti but are the master of its certain properties mainly stated by the dev's name...Dev's are also part of maayaa and are not eternal ... Sorry! about lord Vishnu I typed in wrong ... he is parah brahma but he cannot perform leelas...

Lord Shri Krsna is the true LORD and all the others are his swaans (Brahma,Vishnu, Maheswar etc as per vedic scriptures). Any other form provided outside the vedic scriptures are just a manifestation of people in an unstable society looking for strong social management guru (could have been provided by lord).

All of you are either morons or never came in touch with vedic shastras.... Jaye Shri Raam. Now read very carefully because this word are told by a Mahapurush. Everything operates under one rule that is to serve Ananda. Everything is a part of one supreme entity..."Brahm" (not to be mixed up with Brahma" The energy has three main characteristics 1.Maaya 2.Jeev and 3.Bhagwan Maayaa being an inanimate characteristic and is always changing....your body and mind are also the part of this maayaa. 2.Jeev on the other hand is chetan meaning it has the feeling it exist. It is not intelligence but a group of feelings. No matter how much will it try to find bliss from maayaa it can never find it because it has a opposite character. Jeev tatwa always remains under maayaa and can get rid of it by the Kripa shakti of Bhagwan. 3.Bhagwan the supreme character.The controller of all these and that.Nothing can be as powerful as him nor can be more powerful than him.From him Shrishti or recreation occurs he maintains it and on Mahapralay all these mix into him and again is created. Lord Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwar are the authority figures.They are the creator, controller and destroyer of shristi. Lord Krsna is truely Brahm and only his bhakti can let us to eternal bliss because we are chetan and he is chaitanaya. All this characteristics of one energy are eternal meaning they are never created nor can they be destroyed. Veda is the eternal rule book. All the karma dharma that ved says are for social peace so that one can perform Bhakti. If one does not perform bhakti then one should perform karma dharma or what ever one will do will be a disturbance in the social structure and thus a disturbance to bhakti and henceforth will be punished and will have take birth either in 84 lakh species of living beings or goto hell (depending on ones paap and punnya). Doing only karma dharma and no bhakti will get one to heaven and or 10 other Loks. Punishments and rewards for actions done with and in maayaa are all temporary.Ved says one who wants to got to hell is a paapi and the one who wants to go to heaven is a big fool.
