Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 praying to either will result in spiritual world. but, some say krishna is supreme, others say vishnu... i see it as a deadlock argument: Krishna followers will say that when Krishna says 'Of the daityas I am Vishnu' that shows that Krishna is superior to Vishnu... Vishnu followers will say that 'Krishna is described as an avatar/incarnation of Vishnu in the first canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam' Is there any way past this deadlock through scripture, or does it just depend on what the Guru says?

Pankaja_Dasa Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 That Krishna expands as the 3 Vishnu expansions. Then it goes on to say that what you just did. So considereing these points it says ...In the ?? Incarnation..advented Himself.. To let us know of different expansions. {incarnation}. There must be so many ways to describe different incarnations like Narada Muni is mentioned as Incarnation..etc. You would not say he is Vishnu-Tattva. He is empowered. So just consulting one verse is not really viable. {guru/sadhu/sastra} you need 3 of these to understand. Thats why Prabhupada provides Purports. From Krishna {disicplic succession from Lord Brahma} Brahma Madhva Gaudiya Sampradaya. Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu declared the same {Incarnation of Krishna} Himself. Krishna is the source of all Incarnations whether pleney or part of the plenery portion. All expansions. What does rest of Bhagavatam say /images/graemlins/blush.gif Jai sri NITAI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 so sastra says: Narayana is the supreme cause of all causes (SB sixth canto) sadhu: there are many devotees in Laxmi Narayana sampradaya who say Narayana is supreme guru: there are gurus in the Vaishnava sampradaya called Laxmi-Narayana who believe Narayana to be Supreme... so couldn't one argue that Narayana is supreme?
