Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Dear Partha, First things first, we are all not foolish mortals, mortals yes but not foolish... if we all were foolish all of us would stagnate all of us have evolved over centuries after centuries.. today what we are is due to the humans need to self improvise... i really do not think that foolish mortals would have done that.. there is a bigger picture out there..... Do not tell me that God made foolish people... if you have read the first lesson that Gurudev Sanjay taught us, he asked us a wonderful question, Which of the statements is right.. All is God or God is All.. ponder about this question for a while before making such drastic statements. What we all can do is try to better ourselves, despite knowing of our weakness and vunlability.. that is what makes us Humans. Chart of the mortal form of Sri Ram Chandra or Sri Krishna is what helps us to understand his form and purpose on this earth, with those charts you could learn a lot on how to carry yourself in public, your duties respect for wife etc... So try to look at things from a different prespective. There are various approaches but the Truth is just one. Cheers !!!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2002 Report Share Posted January 10, 2002 Dear Nomadeva, Being Born, Breathing, Living and then the ultimate truth of life that is departing this world I would define as mortal. We humans are Mortal. Hope this is clarified. Assuming you are an astrology student, your question regarding, " Do you need the 'charts' to learn how to carry yourself in public.....?" I will leave that upto you to do some serious thinking. Hope that it is clear, And glad to be of assistance, Cheers !!!

The question, however, was not regarding what is mortal or not, but whether what you call as the 'mortal' form of Lord) subject to destruction like the bodies of mortals? Since you seem to have replied in affirmative, may be you should have a look at Gita, 9.11 avajAnanti mAM mUDhA mAnuShIM tanumAshritam.h | paraM bhAvamajAnanto mama bhUtamaheshvaram.h || These are Krishna's words and not the only time he says this in the Gita. He emphasizes, more than once (Refer to the 11th and end of 15th chapter in particular), that He (and His body) should be not be thought mortal. > Assuming you are an astrology student, your question > regarding, > > " Do you need the 'charts' to learn how to carry > yourself in > public.....?" > > I will leave that upto you to do some serious > thinking. > > Hope that it is clear, > And glad to be of assistance, Well, I guess I need more assistance because all attempts at serious thinking broke down in the question that I had first asked: if one needs 'charts' to learn from Rama, I wonder why Valmiki did not explain Rama's life from an astrological standpoint. I wonder why vyAsa had to write two books, Mahabharata and Bhagavata, and not explain everything from an astrological standpoint? Note that I am not saying studying of charts is not useful per se; OTOH, the charts are given by the authors to understand astrology through the events depicted in the mainstream texts and not, 'how to carry yourself in public, how to treat your wife etc.....' > Cheers !!! > Ash > > ps : If you need any further clarifications, please > email me in the > private as this email goes out to over 500 people, > we could do this > off-line.

Ash : Well, think about it, God is in Everyone and every thing so god is there, but as far as Krishnas physical body as people could see him like back in Mahabharata days, does not exist today. His spirit does exist in each and everyone of us. Nomadeva, Gita is in the understanding. Everyone has their own. > > > Assuming you are an astrology student, your question > > regarding, > > > > " Do you need the 'charts' to learn how to carry > > yourself in > > public.....?" > > > > I will leave that upto you to do some serious > > thinking. > > > > Hope that it is clear, > > And glad to be of assistance, > > Well, I guess I need more assistance because all > attempts at serious thinking broke down in the > question that I had first asked: if one needs 'charts' > to learn from Rama, I wonder why Valmiki did not > explain Rama's life from an astrological standpoint.

On the same token, also think why Parasara did not give everything in black and white, nor did Jaimini and other Maharishis.

There are different perspectives and approaches but Truth is just one. Another one for you to think about, If people from other faith who have never read Ramayana or Mahabharata or Gita, follow Bible,( Old Testament, New Testament), Buddhism, Jainism, Islam etc. do you mean to say that the people from other faiths do not attain moksha and isnt it that the goals of all these relegions and relegious texts saying the same thing in the end and teaching us the same things. Why is it that in Islam or Judaism god is not denoted in a physical form ? Why is that the holy name of God is not spoken in Judaism ? Think about that too. This will be my final post in this thread. I have posted these questions as I am still trying to understand all these with my limited intellegence and resources. As just like Hinduism there are other members of other relegions and faith too on this list. Maybe some day as you quote the Gita, you will also be able to decipher the mysteries that exist in the Kabbalah, the Bible, the Koran and the other holy books. Cheers !!!

The above is very true, but equally irrelevant to the basic contention: Is Krishna's form human, in the sense, is it subject to destruction, like that of other humans? > Nomadeva, Gita is in the understanding. Everyone > has their own. Just that everybody has their own understanding does not make all of them correct. See 2.41: vyavasAyAtmikA buddhirekeha kurunandanda.... Also the IshAvAsya Upanishad (8th verse onwards) So, if you have an alternate explanation to the verse quoted above (9.11), pls let me know. Let's then analyse your position further. > Ramayana gave in detail about how lord Ram conducted > himself in > public, treat his wife sita and his followers etc. > You have all > that, you also have lord Rams chart, try to > understand which I can > say would be an ardent task to understand how > Astrology works,eg. how > is Moola Dasa used to dechiper his 14 years of > Vanvas, how Mars > exalted in the 7th and Ruchik Mahapurush yoga > manifested in the Lords > chart etc. The epics have a great deal of treasure > for us Mortals to > learn from. Good, the point reached the destination. I was pointing out to your statement to somebody (Partha?) that, from 'charts' of Rama etc, one learns how to carry yourself in public.....?" To me, this sounds as absurd as saying that the whole essence of a textbook is contained in the footnotes. Now that you see the actual utility of Rama's charts, all is well. > There are different perspectives and approaches but > Truth is just one. How do you know? > Another one for you to think about, > If people from other faith who have never read > Ramayana or > Mahabharata or Gita, follow Bible,( Old Testament, > New Testament), > Buddhism, Jainism, Islam etc. do you mean to say > that the people from > other faiths do not attain moksha and isnt it that > the goals of all > these relegions and relegious texts saying the same > thing in the end > and teaching us the same things. First, the definition of moxa in each of these religions itself varies. One has to make 'n' compromises to come up with a Unified theory of moksha. (A small puzzle for you: Let's say you come up with one such theory; something like Truth is one. There will definitely be people who will disagree with you. Will such people get moxa or not? If yes, what is the point in taking so much pains in formulating a theory? If no, how is it a 'unified' theory of moxa?) Second, to think that all people will get moxa is simply conjecture, a proofless concept. It is a romantic thought and just that. > Why is it that in Islam or Judaism god is not > denoted in a physical > form ?

I would have, till somebody told me how 'apaurusheyatva' of Vedas makes it a primary pramANa. And then as Krishna himself had said: yAvAnArthaM... (2.46) My final posting too, unless a reply is asked for. Regards, Nomadeva Send FREE video emails in Mail! http://promo./videomail/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
