Guest guest Report post Posted March 18, 2004 Hare Krishna, I would appreciate answers: As the most exalted devotee of Krishna, can you ask Shiva to cure a disease and not suffer karmic reactions - i mean, the cure from the disease will also help you serve Krishna better, won't it?

gokul 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2004 Yes, Shiva is soo compassionate that he will respond to your plea & help you. Sri Raghavendraswamy has pointed that Praying to Lord Shiva will stimulate the feeling of bliss of Lord krishna more in our heart (as krsna is already there in us) & will help us to realize him (krsna). But unfortunately, the compassionate mode of shiva is misunderstood by ignorant people & they regard him as supreme. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted March 19, 2004 dis-ease is a gift from God, it a karmic result but it is always purificatory, surrender to the supreme, can shiva do something KRSNA cannot, of course not, your illness is a fire that will cleanse you of your karma, how blessed you are, please chant the Maha-Mantra and don't be too overly concerned for your physical body, you are in good hands Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted March 19, 2004 thats an intersting way of looking at it - a quick fire way to burn off karma - cool! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted May 27, 2005 Can't we just keep all the Shiva debates in one topic? There are now roughly 6 topics handling the same subject matter about whether or not Shiva is Supreme Lord. No need for that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
