Is it being non violent in actions, like Gandhi? Then what about Krishna Arjun ?

 

Is it being peaceful inwardly, like Buddha?

 

If Ahimsa is only outward non violence, then what about people who use violence

in words/emotions, like bullies? Are they following Ahimsa, since they never hit

anyone?

 

But what about soldiers, whose Dharma it is to kill? Can they ever follow

Ahimsa?

 

luv,

shantnu

Ahimsa paramo dharmah means Ahimsa is the best religion. Soldiers do not wage

war or kill. They only defend. Lord Sri Krishna asked Arjun to defend Dharma

only. When even five villages were refused for Pandavas the kingdom needed

defense.None, much less Krishna believed that Duryodhan would concede five

villages. In case of Sri Ram it was Ahimsa till the last. Even on sea shore Ram

offered peace to Ravan. In modern days the teaching in military academies is

that in an ideal war there should be NIL human casualties. Modern war is to be

won by destroying enemiy`s resources not enemies themselves. Geneva convention

ordains  rubber bullets,metal bullets hitting below the knee to disable enemy

soldiers  not to kill them. Police use tear gas,water jet before firing. That

was adapted long back by Sri Ram. Lord Rama hit Ravan in stomach (removing food

resource) not on head (by better strategy).

Ahimsa itself is THE FAITH

HARE RAM, HARE KRISHAN

 

Thanks Sir Ji for beautifull question

 

If we Kill someone while being with the God than this act is treated as

Ahinsa eg Arjuna killed so many in the Battle of Mahbhartha while being with the

God Lord Sri Krishan.

 

If we kill someone while being with the impure self, than it is called

Hinsa...may not be complete Hinsak, degree of violance depends upon the degree

of impurity of self..........

 

FURTHER Question is - Being violant is not the part of spiritualism.

 

HARE RAM, HARE RAM, RAM RAM,HARE HARE, HARE KRISHAN, HARE KRISHAN , KRISHAN

KRISHAN, HARE HARE
