[hc] Bhagavad Gita and Vigraha Aradhana

[Guest guest]

Dear Shri Venkat,

Hari Om !

As Lord Krishna is the SAMPOORNA-AVATAR and is my universe, I would agree with

you if you said that Lord Krishna is the ideal FORM OF ISHWAR for everyone since

human form is the is the miniscule-amsha of Lord Krishna. At the end of each

cosmic dust straying-into / entering planet earth which ultimately develops into

a human form (passing through every form of existence - from atom to stones to

moisture to life (single cell forms of life) to millions of shapes in plants,

animals, birds, and finally humans (swimming / crawling / flying / walking),

satisfying every desire, finally start searching the roots of existence, leading

to the spiritual quest and finally ending up at the Feet of Lord Krishna, is a

beautiful journey, once we understand the love with which He has guided us

through all the existential struggles.

Lord Rama came one Yuga before Him and was already being worshipped, but the

BHAKTHI YOGA as the easiest path developed after Lord Krishna was presented to

us by Vyaasa Bhagavan. We should first pay our obeisence to Vyaasa Bhagavan for

such a great gift that he gave to the mankind. Dance and Music, in fact,

blossomed into its full potency and flourished after Lord Krishna blessed this

Planet. Our relationship with Him can be in any form of relationship, be it

mother's love, father's love, brother's lover, sister's love, friend's love,

teacher's love, student's love, king's love, praja's love.... you be in any

position, you can be re-connected to Him.

So, deity worship is not new, because deity worship is mentioned in RG VEDA too,

which is the first collection of Mantras/Suktas, But to say that Lord Krishna is

the ULTIMATE DEITY would be the right statement to make.

This is my opinion, please and I expect to be corrected, if i am wrong in my

understanding.

With best regards,

vm
