livingentity Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 "Lord Caitanya met Moulana in Sara, U.P., not at Allahabad. His process was to take a quotation from the Koran and convince the Moulana that Krishna Consciousness or pure love of Godhead in mood of selfless devotional service is the ultimate goal of life." Is this what you are referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Where exactly did Chaitanya say that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Govindaram Posted September 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 CC.Madhya:18/194 According to the Muslim scripture, without evadat, offering prayers at a mosque or elsewhere five times daily (namaz), one cannot be successful in life. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu pointed out that in the revealed scripture of the Muslims, love of Godhead is the ultimate goal. Karma-yoga and jnana-yoga are certainly described in the Koran, but ultimately the Koran states that the ultimate goal is the offering of prayers to the Supreme Person (evadat). Madhya 18.195 Teachings of Lord Caitanya:Prologue Caitanya returned to Puri through Santipura, where he again met his dear mother. After a short stay at Puri he left for Vrndavana. This time he was accompanied by one Balabhadra Bhattacarya. He visited Vrndavana and came down to Prayaga (Allahabad), converting a large number of Mohammedans to Vaisnavism by argument from the Koran. The descendants of those converts are still known as Pathana Vaisnavas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 CC.Madhya:18/194 According to the Muslim scripture, without evadat, offering prayers at a mosque or elsewhere five times daily (namaz), one cannot be successful in life.

Karma-yoga and jnana-yoga are certainly described in the Koran, but ultimately the Koran states that the ultimate goal is the offering of prayers to the Supreme Person (evadat). Madhya 18.195 The original claim was that Chaitanya said in CC that there are references to Bhakti-Yoga in the Koran. Pardon me for being persistent, but the above reference does not contain such a remark. All that is said in the above verse is: "No conditioned soul can get out of material bondage without serving the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Love at His lotus feet is the ultimate goal of life." There is nothing in the verse about Chaitanya saying anything about Islam. The only thing about Islam is in the purport, which is what you have actually quoted above. Even that purport doesn't say anything about bhakti-yoga references in the Koran - all that is said in the purport is that Chaitanya said was love of Godhead is the ultimate goal in the Koran. That doesn't necessarily mean that the Koran speaks of Bhakti-yoga, other than to acknowledge it as a goal. I thought you meant that Koran speaks of the process of bhakti-yoga.

The process is easy just chant the holy names of the lord. The result: <font color="red"> * </font color>Love of Godhead Hare-Krishna!
