theist 1 Report post Posted September 25, 2005 Well we don't see the annihilation of civilizations on other planets yet but we do find that ahimsa as taught by Lord Buddha is now considered religon in and of itself. Even major religions find it beyond their grasp to practice true ahimsa. Most Christians don't include animals and Muslims don't even include non-Muslims it seems. Love God with all one's heart mind body and soul and other living beings as yourself is true religion but most of us hesitate to go beyond believing and into the realm of realization.

Yet more symbology? Literal truth?

[/reply] Agreed. Speaking for myself, i find loving very very difficult tho (i'm told) it should be the easiest thing in the world. G. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vijay 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2005 I've heard this refered to the previous kaliyuga when he came to stop a war between earth and higher planets (I think I read it in vedic cosmology by sadaputa prabhu a few years ago). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That being the case, the same can be applied to any of the descriptions given in SB? G. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
som 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2005 That being the case, the same can be applied to any of the descriptions given in SB? It's better that we not speculate on the transcendental topics discussed in Srimad-Bhagavatam but take it As It Is! Where it is not possible to logically analyse the statements it is better to depend on the revelation from Krishna as we all know that Krishna Himself can be known only be revelation what to speak of His literary incarnation, Srimad-Bhagavatam..
