Date: Tuesday, 23 December, 2008, 12:17 AM Narasimha Garu & Members,There is a long pending question with me and that is Historical reality or otherwise of our many revered personalities/ events.Take for instance, 'Mahabhaarat' & 'Shri Krishna'.I would try to give some view points gathered from all these years from various sources and my own thinking as well-1) Mahatma Gandhi didn't belive that Mahabhaarat was a reality.he thought that it was 'epic'-creation of a poet. he seems to be unable to belive logically the creation of 100 sons etc...2) How can parents name their children as 'DURYodhan', 'Du:Shasan' etc.. i am not sure about the meaning of the names but it implies something perverted. knwoledgable person in sanskrit can shed some light on this.3) Mahabhaarat was a Grand Poem created by super-intelligent author, Maharshi Vyaas and hence Gita was also his own creation and krsihna was just a 'imaginary' central character of his grand work.!.....!..... !1) Dr. Raman, in Notable Horoscopes has strongly written that Shri Krishna was a historically reality. His reasoning was that an *Imaginery creation* of some poet can never Inspire & attract millions of people for thousans of years.2) If Maharshi Vyaas has written imaginery story of Mahabhaarat to satisfy his poetic genious then how come he himself features in the story? if let's consider even that as a possibility but then WHY he'll write another book just on Shri Krishna i.e. Bhaagavata. why he'll himself Worship his own 'Kaalpanik Paatra'.3) If Shri Krishna was never born, then how come so many Saints of yesteryears, saw his form.One can argue that becuase of their intense worship of that perticular Form, they could see the same form of the supreme reality...the supreme power can take any form for the Bhakta.The solid counter argument is that, Paramhamsa Yogananda and Maharshi Aurobindo, it seems, never were a Devotee of that form of Shri Krishna, then how come in their case, without devotion & desire they got to see the form of Shri Krushna?!....!....!Any thoughts about this? How to conclusively establish the Truth in this case?Warm Regards,Utpal Connect with friends all over the world. Get India Messenger.
