Actually, the shakti comes from Shaktiman, so Shaktiman does not depend on shakti, but the shakti depends on the Shaktiman. First is the male Krishna and from him the female comes out from his shakti. So, to say that without woman there would be no man is ultimately false because shastra says that without Shaktiman there can be no shakti. The female energy or shakti is created by Shaktiman for his own enjoyment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From the start there was only Manu but because Manu wanted to have a partner. From his rib appeared a Woman ( a man with a womb). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sonic Yogi 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2009 can we pray to mohini avtaar to get moksh You can do anything you like. But, why not pray to the forms of the Lord that are known for being the most merciful and magnanimous? Why pray to a form of the Lord whose purpose was to bewilder the asuras? Why not pray to God in his more merciful forms as Rama, Krishna or Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu? Do you find any prayers in shastra composed by any acharya that is a prayer to Mohini-murti? If so, then use those prayers. If not, find prayers written by the great devotees who attained perfection. Don't invent a new idea of praying to Mohini-murti. If the great devotees and acharyas did not pray to Mohini-murti, then why should you invent something? You should never pray for Moksha. Only, you should pray for service and devotion. The great acharyas have shown that too much desire for Moksha is selfish and not pure love of God. So, don't worry about Moksha. It comes automatically if you devote yourself fully to loving service to Krishna. Serve the Lord. Moksha follows service like a maidservant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sambya 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2009 But, why not pray to the forms of the Lord that are known for being the most merciful and magnanimous?Why pray to a form of the Lord whose purpose was to bewilder the asuras? what an absolutely weird idea !!! pray to god who are known to be mercifull !!! what do you mean by that ? if god is absolute and infinite any of his expansions are also absolutel and infinite . hearing this you might say that what of the amsa avataras ? the partial avataras of god are termed partial merely because necessity did not arise for thm to exhibit their powers fully . otherwise they are not less potent than some other forms . god is ever mercifull and benevolent . mercy does not depend on his form . it depends on the power of prayer and sincere love of the devotee for him . prahlad maharaja was able to extract it from an ugra form of lord as nrisimhadeva who incarnated not to distribute love but to vainquish the demons . it depends on the devotees dedication. as ramakrishna used to say --- his(god) wind of mercy is ever blowing . all one have to do is to unfurl his(devotee) sail to journey across to cross the ocean of material existence .

ranjeetmore 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2009 Sambya is rite. Bhagavan takes up innumerable forms.Just according to time,place and need,He manifests the required opulence/power,etc. It should not mean that Mohini is some Lesser Personality of Godhead. But generally,we worship Sri Rama and Sri Krsna becoz they Manifest pastimes that are relishable by the Jeevatmas.More so,Sri Krsna displays intimate,more intimate and most Itimate loving pastimes,so we worship Him.
