Who are Krishna's parents in Goloka?

[ShegavichaRana 0]

He is Eternal, Unborn. It was His Leelas (pastimes) on earth, wherein blessed souls like NandMaharaj and Yashoda participated.

This is also true but only according to tattva consideration.

Which might be true but not for the Vrajavasis.

 

And the highest truth is the truth of the Vrajavasis.

 

For them Krishna is not God, He is a friend, a son, a lover.

This is the highest truth, according to the consideration of rasa.

For Yogi, jnani and the others He might be Got but not for His unaloyed pure devotees in the Highest Realm of Sprituality - Goloka Vrindavan.

 

For you and for me Krishna is the Highest Personality of Godhead.

 

By the way:

Those blessed souls YaSoda Ma and Nanda Baba are not jivas like Devaki and Vasudeva (it has been extensively explained previously, but it might be that you cannot agree- understand that).

Congratulations. Mostly we see people talking about them while also planning their own marriages to -- you know what -- as Srimati Rukmini calls a bag of blood, urine, stool and other vile things. You must be careful though -- that unintelligent people will try to tear down your jewel like sentiment one way or the other. However you should not listen to them.

Forgot to add, yes Krishna marries Jiva athmas who want to get his as Husband.

[ShegavichaRana 0]

in remaining a bachelor (Brahmachari) for purely spiritual reasons and if you have developed Vairagya (detachment towards worldly relations), then nobody can force you into a marriage neither you would be hurting others feelings. Afterall, spiritual progress is everybody's prime aim in life and not to fret away the precious human life for worldly pleasures. It would not accrue any sin.

Since Andal's parents were not known, people have claimed her to be Rukmini (I read somewhere that she was the incarnation of Bhudevi), but I feel, she must be a Jivatma, truly, devoted to the Lord. So chart your course of devotion as you are doing right now without any doubts. Baddha, Mumukshu, Sadhaka and Jeevanmukta these are the only four groups in which all the humans fall. As you go up (in that order), the doubts vanish and only devotion remains. If your desire is very strong and devotion pure, who knows, you might be born as another Meerabai in your next birth.

GargacArya has also said (Srimad-BhAgavatam 10.8.14):

 

“prAg ayaH vasudevasya kvacij jAtas tavAtmajaH –

 

O Nanda MahArAja, at some time in the past, this son of yours appeared as the son of Vasudeva.”

 

This is also logical. Although Sri KRSNa is the son of

Nanda MahArAja He had appeared previously in the mind of

Vasudeva MaharAja (Srimad BhAgavata 10.2.16):

 

“AviveSAMSabhAgena mana Anaka-dundubheH –

 

the expansion of Sri KRSNa appeared in the mind of Anaka-dundubhi, Vasudeva MahArAja.”

 

In the same way, Sri KRSNa also appeared in the heart of

VrajeSvara Nanda MahArAja but there is a specific distinction

between the two appearances. The partial manifestation of Sri KRSNa

who appeared in Vasudeva’s heart is called the full manifestation

(pUrNa-prakASa), whereas the form who appeared in

VrajeSvara Nanda MahArAja'S heart is called the most complete

form of Sri KRSNa(pUrNatama-prakASa). Just before the appearance

of Bhagavän Sri KRSNa, Nanda MahArAja began to have His

darSana in his heart and everywhere else.

 

The appearance of Sri KRSNa in the heart is not sufficient to

attain Him as one’s son, however. Intense parental prema is also

absolutely necessary. Such pure fatherly love is only found in

VrajarAja Sri Nanda MahArAja.

Breaking the association of the three modes of nature, one should engage wholeheartedly in devotional service towards the Lord either in the mood of a timeless servant or in the mood of a timeless conjugal beloved. This is the true act of love - to act in love only ....
