RAMA AND KRISHNA-DEAR GURUJIS

[Guest guest]

DEAR GURUJIS

 

AS A COROLLARY TO MY PREVIOUS POST I AM POSTING THIS MESSAGE TO

EXPLAIN MY UNDERSTANDING OF RAMA AND KRISHNA

 

RAMA IS THE SYMBOL OF DHARMA , KRIHSNA IS CONSIDERED AS HIGHEST FORM

OF MOON, HIGHEST FORM OF VISHNU, WHY.

 

THE REASON IS AS FOLLOWS

 

RAMA IS THE AVATAAR OF VISHNU THE SUPREME BEING, THE PARAMATAM THAT

HAS DESCENDED ONTO THE EARTH TO VANQUISH THE DEMONS AND THE AUSRAS OF

OUR SOIL(OR IS IT OF OUR MIND??)

 

rama goes about the task of vanquishing the demons by using the

highest principles of dharma(jupiter and sun), using mighty valour

(mars), using the mind with will(lagna and moon conjunct).

 

He gets rid of all the evil through dharma with the help of vanaras.

 

RAMA GOES ABOUT HIS TASK BY SETTING EXAMPLES THROUGH VALOUR COURAGE

AND DHARMA. HE ACCPETS VIBHISHANA BECAUSE FOR HIM A PERSON COMING IN

SHARANYA IS A PURE BHAKTHA(WILL NOT GOD ACCEPT US IF WE LEAVE RAVANA

AND MEET RAMA(GOD) HIMSELF. THAT IS THE CRUX OF VHIBHEESHANA EPISODE.

 

 

RAMA SHOWS US THE RIGHT PATH.

 

LET US COME TO KRISHNA. KRISHNA KNEW THAT HE WAS GOD FROM THE TIME HE

WAS BORN. HE KNEW THAT HE CANNOT SET EXAMPLES , HE HAS T0 GUIDE THE

ATMA TO REACH PARAMATMA THROUGH THE ATMAS EFFORT.

 

LITTLE MORTALS LIKE ME HAVE BEEN TOLD BY KRISHNA THROUGH THE GITA

THAT WE HAVE TO PERFORM THE KARMA OURSELVES. HE WILL ONLY GUIDE US TO

REACH HIM.

DURYODHANA CHOSE ARMIES, PARTHA OR ARJUNA CHOSE KRISHNA AS HIS

SARATHY TO REACH HIM. KRISHNA TOLD PARTHA THAT HE WOULD NOT FIGHT THE

BATTLE BUT ONLY ASSIST HIM AS HIS SARATHY.

 

IN THE BATTLE ONE DAY, KRISHNA BECOMES ANGRY SEEING THE EMOTIONAL

PARTHA. HE SAYS THAT HE WOULD JUMP INTO BATTLEFIED IF HE DOESNOT

PEFORM HIS DUTY!!!!!!!.

 

KRISHNA THROUGH HIS INFINITE LEELAS WAKES US UP FROM JAIL, FROM

DARKNESS(HIS BIRTH PLACE), TO BATTLEFIELD OF LIFE(KURUKSHETRA) TO

FINALLY DESTROY THE FORCES THAT ARE STOPPING US FROM REACHING HIM.

KRISHNA IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF MOON, MOON REPRESENTS MANAS OR THE

INFINITE MIND.

IT IS THE MIND THAT CONJURES UP SO MANY IMAGES BEFORE IT FINALLY

REALIZES THE GOD.

 

REGARDS

PARTHA SARATHY
