Sephiroth Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Alright ... thank you. I will bookmark it and check it later. Just edited to ask ... exact WHO wrote this Śrīmad Bhāgavatam? Maitreya is Buddhist version of Kalki and since Buddha didn't come till 2,500 years ago (2,500 years after Kali yuga began), I don't see how His name could appear here. Also, I have seen modern words such as "Machine gun" during my reading of Varaha Avatar. Obviously this is a modern interpretation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krishnadasa Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Bhagavata purana has given so many Bhavishyavanis (soothsayings). Not only it gave the appearance of Maitreya or Budha but also it has give prediction on appearance of Sri Krishna Chaitanya. [Maitreya is Buddhist version of Kalki and since Buddha didn't come till 2,500 years ago (2,500 years after Kali yuga began), I don't see how His name could appear here.] Bhagavatm was written in the beginning of Kali yuga by the Great Sage vyasadeva and it came thru desciplic succession as follows 1. Krsna 17. Brahmanya Tirtha 2. Brahma 18. Vyasa Tirtha 3. Narada 19. Laksmipati 4. VYASA 20. Madhavendra Puri 5. Madhva - 21. Isvara Puri, (Nityananda, Advaita) 6. Padmanabha 22. Lord Caitanya 7. Nrhari 23. Rupa, (Svarupa, Sanatana) 8. Madhava 24. Raghunatha, Jiva 9. Aksobhya 25. Krsnadasa 10. Jaya Tirtha 26. Narottama 11. Jnanasindhu 27. Visvanatha 12. Dayanidhi 28. (Baladeva) Jagannatha 13. Vidyanidhi 29. Bhaktivinoda 14. Rajendra 30. Gaurakisora 15. Jayadharma 31. Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati 16. Purusottama 32. His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted July 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 In another words, it is something which was written after Kali yuga (allegedly by Veda Vyasa) and continued to present day His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada? Is he the one who founded ISCKON movement? Sorry, I don't think I'm willing to accept something which shows clearly had been modified. Can someone give me the original text regarding Varaha Avatar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
