Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Srila Prabhupada : Sometimes Kali becomes so infuriated that she indiscriminately kills all kinds of asuras. There is a popular picture of goddess Kali in which she wears a garland composed of the heads of the asuras and holds in her left hand a captured head and in her right hand a great khadga, or chopper, for killing asuras. Great wars are symbolic representations of Kali's devastation of the asuras and are actually conducted by the goddess Kali.

maadhav Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 on the NW border of india (and even within india) is a land occupied by many asuras. so, india then needs thousands of kali worshippers because Hk's cannot do such a job.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Godess Kali iis a servant of Lord Krsna. She is more pleased when we worship her master, than to become Kali worshipers The Hare Krsna movement is menat for pricipally training brahmanas, not that we are also expected to be the ksatriyas. We can also train the ksatriyas of the wrold how to rule properly. This the purpose of setting up varnasrama educational schools,and we need your help to do this, but it is not that by becoming Kali worshipers that we can do a better job of dealing with opposition than by being a Vaisnava. Lord Brahma says srsti sthiti pralaya sadhana saktir eka....Durga is simple the shadow of Lord Krsna, and one of His many energies....parasya saktir vividhaiva sruyate Svetasvatara Upanisad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maadhav Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 << We can also train the ksatriyas of the wrold how to rule properly. >> so far i have not seen yet any Hk that can handle a weapon. dhoti, mridnaga, and symbals cannot help in training kshatriyas. in this time common weapon is ak-47. i would be very happy to see any one train and raise kshatriyas.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 are you in a position to call maa Kali a servent? -in spiritual realm to be a servant is not a disgrace.. kali is very happy to be subordinated to sri vishnu/krsna have you ever known a shodow to be different from the person? energy and energetic no difference. -the difference is that one is the source of energy and the other is the energy.. so kali is the energy and vishnu/krsna the source. So she serves krsna acting to fulfill his desires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 so far i have not seen yet any Hk that can handle a weapon. ..you obstinately do not want to understand that only a little percentage of gaudya vaishnavas are brahmins in the temple. There's devotees in social positions as sudra, vaisha, ksatrya, brahmins. Religion is for attain brahman, spiritual consciousness.. militar matters are trained by militars not by religions. Arjuna learns martial arts from drona and spiritual realizations from krsna so propose your idea, open a training camp of ksatryas, teach ak-47, call people with your tendence and behaviour... but do not bother religious organizations mixing the duties of varnas is a great disgrace, it is actually opposite to bhagavad gita. The gita is meant to teach to arjuna that he has not to betray his duty and to abandone his social class if he wants spiritual realization so everyone has by karma to do his specific duty and offer it to krsna.. mixing duties is adharma (arjuna can rule properly because he's spiritually trained, he's honest, detached and truthful.. this is the meaning of what gaura dasa has said) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 ksatryas are not rebellious to spiritual authorities, brahmanas otherwise they are criminals, not ksatryas so if you do not take initiation from a bona fide spiritual master (keeping freely the life you feel more fit for you), as arjuna has done surrendering to krsna, you never be a real ksatrya.. religious, truthful, faithful, detached, impartial, heroic and so on all these qualities come from spiritual advancement, if you constantly criticize spiritual authorities how can you speak of being a real ksatrya?

Ganeshprasad Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Jai Ganesh Jai Maa Ambe Re (-in spiritual realm to be a servant is not a disgrace.. kali is very happy to be subordinated to sri vishnu/krsna) never said it was, question was, are you in a position to call maa Kali a servent? do you address mother yosoda a servent? do you call gopies servent? Re (-the difference is that one is the source of energy and the other is the energy.. so kali is the energy and vishnu/krsna the source.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 never said it was, question was, are you in a position to call maa Kali a servent? ••not my servant.. servant of sri krsna do you address mother yosoda a servent? do you call gopies servent? ••again, they're servants of sri krsna. Everyone is serving krsna. Of course, for me, from my position, they are all worshipable devatas question is: energy and energetic are they separate? ••simultaneously united and separated, different existences but eternal relationship of servants and served worship maa Kali and father is pleased also ••sister... in kamsa prison durga/kali appears as krsna's sister /images/graemlins/smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganeshprasad Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Jai Ganesh Re worship maa Kali and father is pleased also (••sister... in kamsa prison durga/kali appears as krsna's sister ) Kali is maa to me, she is venerate as mother by most who worship her. but point taken she does appear as Krishna's sister. why refer to her as servent?

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Kali is maa to me, she is venerate as mother by most who worship her. ••i have said krsna's sister, not my sister... of course for me he's mother.. why not? but point taken she does appear as Krishna's sister. why refer to her as servent? ••be precise.. krsna's servant, not servant. Krsna is param (supreme) brahman (supreme brahman).. so everyone else is his subordinate, so his servant. Where's the problem? it is not an offence it is a worship, a praise. The ambassador, the minister, the messenger is received with the same honour as the king Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 tell me in what way that this devil even comes close to kali!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you knew the true significance of Mata Kali, then you would not write this sort of nonsence. When your Mother gets angry would you call her Satan! this email is specially for those who regard kali maa as satan. They dnt even come close!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your mother may though depending on her attributes and qualities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 namaste, how dare you compare a goddess to a dirt like saten. if he exists that is!! in hinduism there is no saten...so comparing teachings of other religions will obviously sound rather pathetic and will contradict each other. in the case of kalimaa and saten, kali is a goddess....worshipped by thousands of hindus...she possess attributes of Shakti (femimin power) and she destroys evil. saten on the other hand IS evil personified. so therefore they r exact opposites 2 each other....rather like if ur a christian Jesus and Saten!!! hope now u realised how stupid u sounded. JAI HIND!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
