By His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Shiva is dahi (yoghurt) and Krishna is milk. When you take pure milk and mix it with a little sour thing, it becomes dahi (yoghurt). Similarly, Krishna is pure spirit, and when this pure spirit is mixed up with maya, then that is Shiva. Lord Shiva is maya-adhipati. It was once inquired by Yudhisthira Maharaja that Lord Shiva, although he appears to be like a beggar, who does not possess even a house and lives underneath a tree, his (Shiva’s) devotees become very rich and opulent materially. Whereas although Lord Vishnu is lakṣmi-pati (husband of Lakṣmi, the goddesss of fortune) and vaikuntha-pati (master of the Spiritual World), the Vaisnavas (devotees of Vishnu) become beggars. Just opposite. By worshiping the beggar one becomes rich, and by worshiping the rich one becomes a beggar. Why is this contradiction?
So this is answered by Krishna, yasyāham anugrhnāmi harisye tad-dhanam sanaih [SB 10.88.8], “My first benediction to my devotee is that
I take away all his riches.” That’s all. Then when he becomes helpless, he becomes firmly convinced and when he has no other shelter, then automatically he takes shelter of Krishna. This is what Krishna demands, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekam [Bg. 18.66]. When he has no other help, he fully surrenders to Krishna. That is Krishna’s special mercy.
And so far Lord Shiva is concerned, he is the husband of mother Durgā, the supreme material power, srsti-sthiti-pralaya sādhana-saktir ekā chāyeva yasya bhuvanāni vibharti durgā [Bs. 5.44]. So the devotee of Shiva gets all material benediction, and Vaishnava, instead of material benediction, he gets all spiritual benediction. That is the difference.

The Bhagavatam describes about the war between between Krishna and Shiva. Krishna emerged victorious. Similarly there have been wars between vaishnavas and shaivas, and the vaishnavas (devotees of Krishna) have always emerged victorious. Therefore the shaivas have stopped fighting. That’s because they know their fate – they will have to face defeat. Please visit this link – http://e-vedas.com/elib_3.htm – and download the Krishna book available in three volumes (free download available). In the third volume, please read chapter 88 – “The Deliverance of Lord Shiva”. This Krishna book is an English translation of the Srimad Bhagavatam wherein Vyasadeva describes the greatness of Krishna and how he delivered Shiva from a demon in Chapter 88. Elsewhere, in the same book there is a vivid description of the war between Krishna and Shiva, wherein Shiva was defeated by Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Dear Mr. Tejas Mishra,
In fact those who profess equality among various gods are making business. If you have a temple of one deity only, say Lord Vishnu, then only the devotees of Vishnu will visit. Naturally, when one visits the temple he makes a donation or an offering to the deity out of love or out of obligation, as the case may be. It is enjoined in the scriptures that one should offer something to the deity. Whereas it is the duty of the temple managers to utilize the money in the service of the Lord. But the so-called brahmanas, who have made the temple a money making business, utilize such collections for their own sense gratification.
To increase collections, they install many more deities so that devotees of all the other deities will also visit. Thus the increased number of devotees leads to increased collections. If you only have a Shiva deity, then the devotees of Lord Vishnu, Lord Ganesa, Godess Durga, and many more such gods will not visit that temple. But if these other deities are installed, then their devotees will also start visiting. Thus more money is collected due to the increased number of “customers”.
So, in order to further their own ends, such money-making professionals, in the garb of priests, profess that all gods are equal. How can there be many Supreme Powers. As the name itself suggests, Supreme means only one. ekam brahma dvitiyam nasti.
In fact we are losing out on a lot of money by sticking to the truth that “Krishna is Supreme”. Therefore the devotees of Krishna are poor as outlined in the above article.
Hare Krishna.

Shankara did not comment on it but did also state, which is well recorded by Advaitns that he lacked the intellect to comment on it. For this Shrimad Bhagwatam is the commentary of Veda Vyas on the Vedanta Sutra… If you question Shrimad Bhagwatam we can forget the whole Vedas itself.

Shiva is superior to Vishnu. Vishnu is a mere deva (demigod) who protects the island of Sri Lanka. He is subordinate to Sakra (Indra) and will eventually die and be reborn in the lower worlds.
But Shiva is beyond the devas. He is Lokeshvara, Lord of the World, a manifestation of the Eternal Buddha Vairocana. In wrathful form, he is Mahakala.
You are comparing a drop of milk to a lake of butter. Vishnu is a mere deva. He will die and fade away. But Shiva is eternal. He may change bodies (for nothing is permanent) but the Lord will always be.

Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita (10.2), aham adir hi devanam: I am the source of all the devas (demigods). So Krishna is not a demigod as you propose because you have got some wrong information from some wrong sources. You have to refer to the Bhagavad Gita for the correct information.The Bhagavad Gita informs that Krishna is the the Almighty Supreme God. Krishna is source of even Vishnu. However when is you say that Vishnu is subordinate to Shiva, it exposes your lack of true and factual knowledge. Lord Vishnu does not die and fade away. He is beyond birth and death. The Bhagavad also informs, janma karma ca me divyam. The birth and activities of Krishna are spiritual. One who understands them factually transcends the cycle of birth and death.

Dear Mr. Sagar,
Your statement, “God never tells that He is Supreme”, exposes the fact that you have not read the Bhagavad Gita. In the Bhagavad Gita, God Himself has emphatically stated that He is God. So please read the Bhagavad Gita before pasing such ignorant remarks.
On one hand you are saying that one should not differentiate amongst ourselves and on the other hand you are contradicting yourself by branding us as stupid. So why are you differentiating us as stupids. So you should first practice what you preach. You should not differentiate some as stupids and some as wise.
But the fact is that your tenet of “non-differentiation” is untenable because the creation of God is full of variety and thus differentiation between objects and creatures is unavoidable. Therefore you cannot stop comparisons. Hence you have also made differentiations and categorized us as “stupids”.
So difference does exists and there is nothing wrong in making comparisons. Similarly there is difference between the devotees of Krishna and the various demigods and that is exactly what the captioned post is discussing about.

Hare Krishna! firstly I am a devotee of Shiva but I love Krishna in my heart and I do attend Bhagavad Gita discourses on a timely basis. I chant the Panshakshara and the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra without fail. I read various Vaishnava & Shaiva texts.
I would like to re-quote from the phrase by Krishna himself “says in the Bhagavad Gita (10.2), aham adir hi devanam: I am the source of all the devas (demigods).” and also another phrase from chapter 10, Text 24 senaninam aham skandah
sarasam asmi sagarah; of all commanders I am; skandaḥ, Kārtikeya.
The Lord Himself have showed his Viswaroopa, the universal form to Arjuna where to indicate and enlighten him that he is source of everything, includes various deities,Devas, Bhotas, Saints, animals, other beings and planets (cosmos).
Lord Krishna continue to state that He accepts any kind of devotion towards him in any kind of form and worship as long with pure devotion. Hence I don’t see anything to argue and indicate which deity/religious group is superior then the other?
However, I should agree that some of these temples and priests are just taking advantage of this and installing various deities as source of incomes or business, but they are using this truth as an opportunity and confusing the devotees.

Do you want me to remind you who Jaya and Vijaya were? They were Gatekeepers of Vaikuntha. When the sanatkumaras were trying to enter Vaikuntha, then Jaya and Vijaya stopped them as they were just doing their duty. Out of rage, the sanatkumaras cursed Jaya and Vijaya. When Vishnu came out of his yog nidra, he gave 2 options to Jaya and Vijaya to manage the curse; either be born on earth for 7 lifetimes as his bhakta or 3 lifetimes as demons and return to Vaikuntha. So they chose the 2nd option.
1st Life: Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksh
2nd Life: Ravan and Kumbhakarna
3rd Life: Shishupal and Dantavakra
So if we talk about the larger picture, all the atrocities committed by these demons were because of Vishnu. If Vishnu is so almighty and trikaldarshi, couldn’t he foresee that Jaya and Vijaya will kill innocent people, r@pe women and butcher Brahmins conducting yagnas at the forests when born on earth as demons? If Vishnu is so great and almighty, couldn’t he use his Maya and influence Jaya and Vijaya to take the 1st option?
Therefore, Vishnu killed his own bhaktas so that they could be transported back to Vaikuntha.

And it’s not Mr., it’s Ms. Well if you believe that there exists no such verse, then take this:

Now mind that, Prabhupada says that Bhagavata or Bhagavan is a word used for The Supreme Personality of Godhead. And the above verse is taken AS-IT-IS from the Sri Rudram section of Yajurveda.
And as far as Bhagavad Gita is concerned, then take a look at this:
“Yet in this body (deha / kshetra) there is another, a transcendental enjoyer who is MAHESHVARA (Shiva), the supreme proprietor, who exists as the overseer and permitter, and who is known as Paramatma,the Supreme soul of universe”. (Bhagavad Gita 13.23)
See, Lord Krishna himself is declaring Lord Shiva as Supreme.
Now, let’s see who is Supreme according to Vedas:
“OM NAMO BHAGAVATE RUDRAYA” (Yajurveda, Taitiriya Aranyaka, Sri Rudram, Anuvaka 1)
See, Yajurveda addresses Lord Rudra as The Supreme Personality of Godhead.
“purusho vai rudrah” (Yajurveda, Taittirya Aranyaka 10:24:1)
Yajurveda addresses Lord Rudra as The Supreme Purusha.
Lord Shiva himself says:-

“I am the supreme, greater than the great”.
“namo girishaya cha shipivishhtaya cha |” (Sri Rudram Anuvaka 5)

“Step forth with wider stride, my comrade Vishnu; make room, Dyaus, for the leaping of the lightning. Let us slay Vrtra, let us free the rivers let them flow loosed at the command of Indra” (Rig-Veda 8:89:12)
Comments:
If Lord Shiva is not Supreme, then why do Vedas and Upanishads praise him as such?
If Lord Shiva is a Vaishnava, then why do Vedas claim Vishnu to be his son? A father is greater to his son.
if Vishnu is supreme what is the need for him to use Indra’s energy?
Vishnu, Varuna, Mitra sing thy (Indra’s) praise: In thee the Maruts’ company have great delight. (Rig-Veda 8:15:9)

Nilalohita let me tell you whats bogus… Shiva Puran is bogus… There was Linga Puran – no Shiva Puran. In 18 puranas, Srimad Bhagavata is a Maha Purana – calling it bogus is telling Adi Guru Shankaracharya, who prostrated before Srimad Bhagavatam, that he was stupid in doing so. He accepted SB to be the most pure and unabridged truth about the Supreme Personality of Godhead and expressed his incapacity and incapability to give a commentary on it.
In the end of his life he told his closest followers to discard all that he taught and only follow Srimad Bhagavatam. I hope you remember the song he sang and through, which he said to all, Bhaj Govindam Bhaj Govindam Bhaj Govindam “MUDH mate”.
Now Adi Guru was none other than Lord Shiva himself. And all this that I have stated are recorded facts of Adi Guru Shankaracharya. Do you mean to say Lord Shiva knows less than you?

Dear sir, cool down. Anger is your enemy. Do you have any proof that Shiva Purana is bogus? There must be an authentic evidence for this argument of yours. Is there any, other than interpolations made in Padma Purana? You must be aware that Acharyaji was an exponent of Advaita, according to which, Gods all forms (Shiva, Shakti and Vishnu) are one and same, and also that God and soul are one and same. So I am Lord Shiva as well. Shivoham. You too are Lord Shiva. Shivotvam. Thus, I pay my salutations to you. As far as SB is concerned, it contradicts Mahabharata and Rig Veda in many places and since Mahabharata itself declares that it has been gleaned from Vedas and all Puranas are supposed to be dependent on Mahabharata, SB, as a Purana must also follow the same trend. But it doesn’t. You are talking of quantum mechanics in SB. But the root concepts of SB, like hell, heaven, God residing in paradise, spiritual sky etc are unscientific. In one hand, it extols Lord Shiva as Supreme and then again it maligns him by calling him inferior to Krishna. So how can you expect me to accept SB as a authentic script? Now if you are thinking of applying “Antaryamin of Parvati Pati”concept here, then please don’t. I have already refuted the argument sent by you as hoax by quoting few verses from Satapatha Brahmana and also proved that Lord Shiva cannot have an “Antaryamin” as he is unborn. His appearence from Brahma’s forehead is only symbolic, and the names “given” by Brahma are his own names, not lord Vishnu’s. I hope you too remember the song he sang and through, which he said to all, Bhaj Govindam Bhaj Govindam Bhaj Govindam “MUDH mate” (Worship Govinda, oh foolish Vaishnavas, for your grammatical jugglery and maligning Lord Shiva won’t save you at the time of death).

I have already written about it in length answering all your misconception emanating from very very poor knowledge of Sanskrit Language at the end of this web page. Your interpretation of the verses is laughable.
You don’t even have basic knowledge of Sanskrit it’s clear. You don’t even have your preliminary basics of Sanskrit grammar in place. Pls stop this cheap habit of passing comments for foolery on such serious topics. I am sure there is ample space on internet for you to behave in that manner. Here you should only concern your self with serious discussion on the topic with an honest intention to learn.

seriously, first learn sanskrit properly and then learn to connect the dots absolutely. Vedas praise all Gods and at the end says they are nothing but ‘visne’…they praise ‘shiva’ to say in the last that he is divine too considering he is also a form of hari. In those times they don’t know that bringing essence of shiva of hari leads to think shiva is the supreme. Lack of understanding causes diff, interpretations.

People are so brainwashed and conditioned into religious beliefs they cannot understand what SPIRITUAL means any more. God: there is only one, and He has unlimited expansions in unlimited qualities for whatever unlimited reasons. We are also expansions of God but we are not God… God the original is the knower of everything and above the material without a material body… this does not mean that God is incomplete and scattered everywhere. God has a spiritual body and is an all pervading immortal atman complete yet omnipresent… that is also what great meas. .. we cannot understand these things with limited minds and vision. We, as humans should be striving to become perfect which is through practice- what is perfection other than pure love of God with indiscriminate love to all Gods manifestations, which includes anything that lives. We can only get there through a bona fide guru and practice of Bhakti. To serve God is to serve His pure devotees and God in turn serves His devotees. We can understand this by asking ourselves a simple question, how long are we prepared to tolerate people who want from us all the time and never once consider giving back? Selfish people offer worship ritualistically for material satisfaction and God is merciful and grants in the appropriate forms, but unselfish people offer love and service to others without considering themselves and this is far higher than any material request. A person who can grow such qualities is always far more dear and worthy of spiritual reciprocation… they do not raise their voices in anger, they are always humble and they can endure trials and tribulations… how many of us really have such qualities and qualify for Gods home? Instead people are shouting ignorantly my religion and my God is better, anything else is nonsense… this is the sad state of blind ignorance with no understanding for God. People should rather pray for intelligence and love and start to heal themselves from ignorance and ego for there to be any kind of positive change.

DEAR WRITER OF THIS ARTICLE,
Please get your facts right. Probably, you have misunderstood the Gita. The Lord has made comparisons to several demigods and deities in the scripture. He says – “Amongst the warriors, I am Karthikeya.” And goes on comparing himself with Garuda… and many others. Lord Shiva is the Supreme Soul – Mahadev. How could you say he is a demigod, my friend? Vishnu himself meditates upon Shiva and vice-versa. Please stay away from wrong comparisons. Your blog is misleading.

Dear Ms. Resham,
Krishna has categorically stated in the Bhagavad Gita that He is the origin of all the demigods (aham adir hi devanam). This is mentioned in the second verse of the 10th chapter of the Gita.
You have cited verse no.25 of the 10th chapter, wherein Krishna says that “amongst the warriors I am Kartikeya”. But you have not paid attention to what Krishna says further in the same verse – ” Of all the water-bodies, I am the ocean” So does it mean that the Ocean is God and that there is no difference between Krishna and the ocean?
In fact when Krishna says that “among the warriors – I am Kartikeya, , among trees – I am the Banyan tree, etc.”, He cites the best amongst a class of persons and/or objects and goes on to state that He (Krishna) is the source of that opulence. Krishna is the source of Kartikeya’s quality of martial excellence. He further sums it up in verse 41 of the 10th chapter that whatever opulent and beautiful things that one sees in this world are an emanation from Him.
You have claimed that Lord Shiva is the Supreme. But that is nowhere mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita. Nor is it mentioned anywhere in the Bhagavad Gita that Lord Vishnu meditates on Lord Shiva.
But one thing that you mention is correct. You have said that Shiva meditates on Lord Vishnu. That is correct and it is mentioned in the Srimad Bhagavatam (Canto 4, chap 3, verse 23)
So in fact it is you who have got most of your facts wrong.
We have got our facts right because we have got them directly from the Bhagavad Gita, as it was mentioned by Krishna Himself, without any interpretations.
We suggest that you should follow our blog to get the right facts. The aim of this blog is to bring back all the misled people on the right path by distributing true knowledge.

Dear Mr. Tejas Mishra,
Lord Krishna has specifically said in the Bhagavatam, “When I favour someone, the first thing that I do is, I take away his wealth. In such a distraught state, all his friends and relatives desert him, and when he is left alone, he remains with no choice but to make speedy progress on the path back home, back to Godhead.”. [yasyaham anugrhnami tad dhanam harisye sanaih – SB 10.88.8]
So whatever we are saying is based on shastra – nothing is concoted. There are so many differences in so many things of this variegated world and similarly there is a difference between the devotees of Krishna and the devotees of Shiva. So don’t hesitate to accept the differences and don’t be so blindly rigid.
The demons generally become the devotees of Lord Shiva because he is very easy to please and very quickly bestows material benedictions. Whereas Krishna is not so easily pleased and neither does Krishna award material prosperity. Since Shiva becomes easily pleased, he is known as Ashutosh. So most of devotees of Lord Shiva are demons and after taking benedictions from Shiva, his demon-devotees want to kill him. I hope you know the tale of Bhasmasura, who wanted to kill Lord Shiva after taking benedictions from him. It was Krishna who saved Lord Shiva from the hands of the demon “devotee”.
So there is a difference between the devotees of Shiva and Krishna. If you simply close your eyes and wish to ignore the differences, then you are just like the proverbial cat who closes its eyes when it sees death approaching.
I can only hope that good sense prevails upon you.
Hare Krishna.

Dear Mr. Ashutosh,
Tales are factual historical accounts having spiritual, cultural and social relevance. Their relevance and importance cannot be undermined. They are not myths but unfortunately the so-called self-proclaimed intelligentsia, have fallen prey to the false propaganda of the British, who in order to rule upon the Indians, propagated that the historical accounts of Mahabharata, Ramayana and Puranas are myths.
Anyways, since you are one of those self-proclaimed intelligentsia, I invite you to give some relevant and positive inputs, which can be useful to our readers, and which are not based on “tales”.
As of now, your above comment is full of negative inputs. I would appreciate if you could give some positive solution to the issue at hand.

Frankly, if the “tale” of Bhasmasura is the historical fact, then it implies that Shiva is quite a simple-minded fellow. You Vaishnavas are very fond of saying that Shiva is next to Krishna, and verily other times he can see through your innermost thoughts and grant you even your unuttered wishes. But now lo! – he is unable to detect a self-conceit asura and think out the consequences. Though titled an “almost on the same level as Vishnu” by your acharyas, yet he must take to heels ingloriously before an egomaniac to save his life! hmmm….. I wonder how you would explain it — and along with it dozens of other (mostly vishnuistic) tales where Shiva or any other god behave like absent-minded, muddled humans that have been hanging around here just for a few decades, still learning the lessons all retired people here have already picked…You probably do not get it, but this degradation of the Divine is the negative input!

The tale is surely “genuine”, but what it says to me is something quite different from what it says to you. That is the purpose of tales that they may have many levels of meaning. When I (and many, many others) say Shiva, we mean a state of consciousness, not any fickle-minded guy from a visnuistic educational story. “To believe that Krishna is god” means that you do not know what is god, so you have to read about him a lot of tales and then consider it “the” knowledge. It has always been that some need “stories” to advance towards knowledge, others just need to be told “You Are That”. For me that is the liberating truth, for you it is that the blue guy from a Cow planet will save you one day on the condition that you stop being nasty. So obviously, what is positive input for me will inevitably be a negative input for you. But I will never descend to maligning the Divine in considering him some dull-witted, half-developed humanoid as you are so sickly fond of thinking of It. And if you claim that “this is what the holy book says” then I recommend you to throw it — or rather your gross misconception — to the dustbin.

PS: The answer to your question as to why the yogurt one is dopey and the milk one is a prodigy is: “Due to material desires.” A person with material desires will go to Shiva whereas a person without material desires will approach the Supreme Lord, Krishna. Those with material desires will never approach Krishna because they know that Krishna doesn’t bestow material benedictions.

Why on earth should I “have faith” in tales? Tale is a tale — it conveys some message and once you got it, there is no need for believing. In the Bhasmasura tale I am told that I should be cautious when expressing my generosity and that I can perish with the very same thing I use to torment others. You can express the same with Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva or with donkeys, monkeys, jackals as Aesop (or Pancatantra) did in their fables: moralising effect is the same, no need to make a history from it. I am really not at all offended when Shiva is made fool in this and other Puranic stories, because this fabular Shiva is definitely not the exalted Being who is invoked as trikalagnikala, sarveshvara, vishveshvara, mrityunjaya, krtsnavita (see vedic Sri Rudram).
Your analogy of yoghurt-milk is quite telling: it says that if my Shiva is real, then your Vishnu is no more. Either milk, or yoghurt. Unfortunately, you cannot have both.
You also have said: “A person with material desires will go to Shiva.” Please read the aforesaid Sri Rudram and get some idea of what kind of people have been turning to Shiva and how do they conceive Him. Then perhaps you will stop “having faith in tales” — or start fabricating new ones…

The Supreme Lord Krishna’s & his most beloved devotee Lord Shiva’s blessing would be most fortunate for me so I ask you, in-fact plead you to pray in all honesty, sincerity, perseverance & resolve so that they shower me with their mercy all the time.
As for fights it only exists because there is misunderstanding, which stems out of one’s incomplete or little knowledge. To have spiritual discourse in the form of exchange of thoughts is one of the bonafide ways described in shastras to help people gain true knowledge, which is to know about the Supreme Personality Of GodHead Krishna… there is a term for it too Mr Misra and its called “Shastrarth”.
As for calling you a fool, an illiterate, a person with learning disability etc, is because you have in all your posts up till now have only shown such qualities about yourself. Calling a fool a fool sometimes is pertinent because unless he understands that he is so, how can he improve?
As for you calling me illiterate, I thank you for saying so for I am fully aware of the fact that there is so much I have to learn about the Vedas and our other holy scriptures that it makes me feel like an illiterate. I certainly don’t take this as an offence but in-fact its the truth.
As for manners my comment was strictly on your state of knowledge but your attacks have been personal. It reflects very poorly upon your manners and character. Such a disgusting and melancholic outburst where you have had the audacity of using Lord Krishna’s name for advancement of your pathetic purpose, reflects upon your upbringing.
I called you an idiot and a fool but I wasn’t firm enough with you. You are a rascal and you use words like fake, insinuate motives only to assuage your dogmatic beliefs, which have no support of any of our Vedic / sanskrit holy scripture but your disgusting foolery.
Just so that you know Iskcon is not where I do my business as you have tried to hint. You have given your mobile number but I wouldn’t give you mine. What I would do is I shall wait for you day after tomorrow in the business lounge of J.W. Marriot Juhu exactly at 5:00 pm. No I am not doing it specially for you. I dont have that time and neither am I that lame. I have my business meeting there, which will be over by 5:00 pm. Kindly confirm on this site that you would be there latest by tomorrow. As for communicating with you once you are there I have your number
as you enter the lobby and give my name to the hotel front desk they will bring you to me. I shall instruct them accordingly. You talk about guts on the phone Mr Misra well here it is forget phone lets meet face to face.

Mr rishi let me tell you one thing very well by your written statements about me in A smartly way n so as in a very determined way you have mentioned me wrong n yourself correctly so let me tel yo one thing that first have called me by such cheap words which i dint n as far as i m concerned about Vedas let me tel you that just as you said that you know the full Vedas itself which automatically show’s that you yourself had the self ego for it n nothing else n as far as every one knows that no one knows the God completely except he himself, so rather wasting time with you is to sing before a buffalo as you said in your previous mail so even if you deny this by saving yourself in a smartly way it’s okie n one more thing i dint said that iskcon people are wrong but by making difference between lord Krishna n lord Shiva they are hurting lord Krishna himself which is clearly stated in the book of Ramacharitmanas by Tulsidasji book that the one who makes difference between lord Krishna n lord Shiva that person will never get moksha so rather than making fights between the devotees of Krishna n Shiva by proving one supreme n not another’s which is a great offense please chant the name of Krishna with the perfect devotion but not by making differences then automatically you vl come to know n please stop saying that you have a busy time so that you can’t talk to me on the phone which shows that you have a self ego a lot by calling me to meet but not asking the person when he is free itl automatically shows that you are thinking only for yourself which is a selfish quality of yours on more thing that you said about face to face is right you think yourself smart rather than others please take out this from your ego mind otherwise it vl destroy you

Mr. Tejas Mishra,
It appears that you do not have a proper understanding of the English language. Mr. Rishi has gracefully accepted your accusation that he is illiterate by admitting that there is so much to be learnt from the Vedas and therefore he is indeed an illiterate.
But in your reply to Mr. Rishi, you say that that he is an egoistic person because he claims that he knows fully about the Vedas. Whereas, Mr. Rishi does not make any such claims. In fact, he admits that there is so much to be learnt from the Vedas. Thus your understanding of the English language is not proper.
Do not argue sentimentally. You are simply harping on a few cliched statements such as, “Do not create fights among devotees of Krishna and Shiva”, “You are hurting Krishna by making difference between Krishna and Shiva”, etc. etc.
Since you do not have any scriptural backing, you want to evade meeting Mr. Rishi. You are simply putting forward Tulsidasji’s Ram Charitmanas, which is considered an unauthorized scripture. Valmiki Ramayan is authentic and nowhere has the reverred Valmiki spoken about the equality of Krishna and Shiva.
So have some spine and meet Mr. Rishi at the designated time and venue. Take some time out to meet him.
If others such as Mr. Rishi are egoistic, arrogant and selfish, you should set an example by being egoless, submissive and selfless.
I therefore suggest that once you yourself exhibit such qualities, you should have no problems in meeting him on Monday at 5 pm at the J.W. Marriot, Juhu, Mumbai. By meeting him personally, you can save such an egoistic person from destruction.
Hare Krishna.
Yours in the service of Krishna,

Dear Sir,
Don’t worry. I am not an escapist unlike the admin of the blog you copied this content from, who is absconding since I asked him to prove Shaivism hoax by virtue of scientific evidences. And as far as my knowledge about Sanskrit is concerned, Sanskrit I know is enough to decode Vedic Tatvam and correlate them with science. I doubt how much you know as you are simply cheating yourself by copying directly from others. I also saw your reply on my comment on Srimad Bhagavatam. So can you tell me what makes you claim that Shiva Purana is bogus? Yes, in several sections like Shiva-Ganesha war have been interpolated as all Puranas due to their simple language are vulnerable to interpolations. But Shiva Purana doesn’t contradicts Vedas. That we will discuss later when I’ll refute the content sent by you. But the reasons of why Srimad Bhagavatam is bogus are gleaned from Mahabharata itself and that too by the virtue of Acharyaji’s teachings. I can produce ample evidences directly from Mahabharata which will prove that Bhagavatam is not authentic. The point I will produce will be as follows:
1) SB contradicts MB’S description of Parikshita’s death.
2) SB contradicts MB’S description of Mahanta Suka Bhadra’s biography.
3) SB contradicts MB’S description of Parikshita’s birth.
4) SB contradicts MB’S description of Brahmashira episode.
5) SB contradicts Rig Vedic verse 7:46:1, which says that Lord Shiva is invincible and cannot be defeated.
So the decision is your’s. If you want, I can provide the above evidences in my next comment.
Before I begin, I would like to ask you, are you disrespecting me? Well,let me make it clear that I have no respect. Other than me, no one honor’s me and I haven’t given anyone the right of honoring me either. Then what’s the use of insulting me? You are simply killing your time by making doomed attempt to do so. And don’t get so much agitated. Keep cool. Why are you increasing you blood-pressure?
First of all, you say that the Vedic hymns addressing Lord Shiva are addressed to the so-called “Antaryamin” of Lord Shiva i.e., Lord Vishnu. The basis of this allegation is the misconception that Lord Shiva is “born” out of Brahma. This is because most Vaishnavas go for the literal meaning of Vedic verses. I don’t thing you’ll understand if I explain this by the example of Sanskrit literature. So I’ll give the example of Chhayavadi school of Hindi poetry. In this school, the meaning of the poem is esoteric rather than literal. The words are cryptic and difficult to be decoded. So you can say that the Sanskrit school of writing to which Vedas belong and Chhayavadi school are identical by virtue of there salient features. In reality, Lord Shiva is unborn.
“Pragâpati said to him, ‘My boy, why criest thou, when thou art born out of labour and trouble?’ He said, ‘Nay, but I am not freed from (guarded against) evil; I have no name given me: give me a name!’ Hence one should give a name to the boy that is born, for thereby one frees him from evil;–even a second, even a third (name), for thereby one frees him from evil time after time”. (Satapatha Brahmana 6:1:3:9)
This is the verse which makes Vaishnavas think that Rudra was born and the narrative of Rudra emerging from Brahma in Vaishnava Puranas is true. Vaishnavas say Rudra is not freed from evil hence he was sinful. But let us see what Yajurveda says about Rudra:
“O Rudra your aspect which is peaceful, and is bereft of sins.” (Yajurveda iv:5:1:c)
The central message of this scene is the manifestation of Ashtamurti from Rudra. The reference of Evil is because of Brahma’s incestuous relationship with his daughter Usha, but it is nothing to do with Rudra. Satapatha Brahmana treats Prajapati’s copulation with usha as sinful as stated below:
“Pragâpati conceived a passion for his own daughter,–either the Sky or the Dawn. ‘May I pair with her!’ thus (thinking) he united with her. This, assuredly, was a sin”. (Satapatha Brahmana 1:7:4:1-2)
Prajapati and Usha, when mated, Rudra was invoked by gods and he beheads Prajapati because on the grounds of incest. Prajapati and Usha mated again and this act was sinful and here also here Rudra appeared, but Rudra didn’t behead prajapati but he tactfully made him to pronounce the holy eight names of Rudra viz. Bhava, Sarva, Ugra, Pasupati, Asani, Mahadeva and Isana; and Rudra playfully stated as if he himself was not freed from sin. And on Rudra’s request, Prajapati uttered Rudra’s eight holy names and Prajapati became freed of his sin and also escaped Rudra’s wrath. Now this couldn’t have happened if Rudra did not pre-exist Brahma.
The manifestation of Rudra from Prajapati is a symbolic tale because Prajapati was the year (symbolic of Time) and Usha symbolizes space. Rudra’s manifestation through Prajapati and Usha in other words means that Rudra who is beyond time and beyond space, entered and appeared within this universe of space-time coordinates and from his own eight names he transformed himself into eight deities viz. Agni, Vayu, Varuna, Plants (representing earth), Indra, Parjanya (representing cloud and sky), Chandra & Surya.
So from these, we see that Lord Shiva was never born and he pre-exists Brahma. So he cannot be a Jiva with an Antaryamin. So the question of Sri Rudram and other hymns being addressed to Lord Vishnu doesn’t arises.
Mahashay, gyan hona atyant uttam lakshan hai ek uttam vyaktitva ke swami/swamini ka. Parantu yadi aap usi gyan ke ahankar mein samne wale ko murkh samjhenge, toh kahna toh nahi chahiye par aapse adhik murkh is akhil vishva mein aur koi nahi.

Regarding Gaudiyas, the different names given in the Vedas like Rudra,Indra, Prajapati,Manyu,Agni,etc. are all names of Sri Krishna only.

@Sarva nama kevala Hari nama Yes, the Vaishnava interpretation is after all an interpretation, which may not be true. But as a Suryavanshi, I speak only truth and truth is what I adhere to, not “interpretations”. Interpretations are variable, truth is constant. By the mercy of Lord Ram, I have comprehended the simple truth that Lord Shiva is the only Supreme and I have thus debunked the Vaishnava “interpretation” of your dear Narayanastra Blog in my own blog:
http://shiva-parvati.blogspot.in/
If you are really a devotee of Lord Krishna, you will definitely follow this link and see how the Vaishnava “interpretation” crumbles under the hammer of truth. Lord Shiva was, is and will be the only Supreme, and that’s the harsh truth that we are bound to submit to. Truth is not dependent on “interpretations”. It is independent and others including “interpretations” are dependent on it. So take my advice, feuding over Vedas is not the job of mlechha institutions like ISKCON and Dravidian slaves like admin@narayanastra blog and humble bhagawata bandhu. Better leave it to Aryans and rather chant “Sri Ram jai Ram jai jai Ram” mantra. That will atleast atone the sins that you people committed by blaspheming Lord Rudra’s name.

Dear advaithin,
With full respect to the philosophy of Kevalaadvaita and Sripad Shankaracharya Bhagatpada, you should know that the light theory of Brahman and the theory of Saguna Brahman is limited to Advaita only. Plus it is a fact that Shankara himself established Vishnu alone as his saguna brahman. Advaita allows bheda between Ishwara and jiva in the vyavahrika level. Only at “paramarthika ” level does it teach that everything is Brahman. saguna brahman identified by Adi Shankara is Vishnu only and not Shiva. Unlike mordern day advaitins, Adi Shankara and most advaita acharayas never wore bhasma or worshipped Shiva as supreme. Neither did they advocate panchOpAsaNa. Historians have proved that the only authentic works of shankara are his bhashyas and not the stutis that are claimed to be his creations. Soundarya lahiri, Dakshinamurti stotra etc. are creation of recent days matha adhikaris who were also called Shankaracharyas. In his bhashyas he uses only names like Vishnu,Vasudeva,Narayana, etc. to indicate Saguna Brahman and he personally in Gita bhashya (6.47) that among the yOgis, those who worship Rudra, Aditya, etc. are inferior to those who are vAsudEva bhaktas: [GBhS:9]
yoginām api sarveṣāṃ rudrādityādi-dhyāna-parāṇāṃ madhye mad-gatena mayi vāsudeve samāhitenāntarātmanāntaḥ-karaṇena śraddhāvān śraddadhānaḥ san bhajate sevate yo mām, sa me mama yuktatamo ‘tiśayena yukto mato ‘bhipreta iti
Shankara also says in the pA~ncarAtra adhikaraNa (Brahma Sutra Bhashya, 2.2.42) that there are certain aspects of the Pancharatra doctrine which are to be accepted, and says that worshipping Lord Vishnu as the Supreme Soul with unceasing ananya devotion as inculcated by the Pancharatra Shastras is as per the vEda and smRtis. However, Shankara does not make any such approving statements regarding the rites of worship according to the shaiva doctrine (discussed in the previous adhikaraNa, from 2.2.37-2.2.41). Shankara rejects the whole doctrine as vEda bAhya. He does not identify the pUja aspect of the shaivas to be according to the vEda. Lastly people claiming to be saviours of Sanatana Dharma, come to these sites and come to “end’ the Vaishnava-Saiva debates by claiming that they are both same. This theory is not older than the 16th century and much flawed.

Dear Miss Nilalohita
I am simply not worried for anything. I thank you for your concern. Let’s begin without further ado. The ending from your last write up ( mentioned below ), let me take that up first for your satisfaction.
YOUR STATEMENT
“Mahashay, gyan hona atyant uttam lakshan hai ek uttam vyaktitva ke swami/swamini ka. Parantu yadi aap usi gyan ke ahankar mein samne wale ko murkh samjhenge, toh kahna toh nahi chahiye par aapse adhik murkh is akhil vishva mein aur koi nahi.”
My Humble Submission
Where is the problem? I unquestionably & humble submit to you that … I am an agyani, I am a papi, I am murkh, I am ahankari, I in no way merit to be called a Krishna devotee and frankly I am myself convinced that I am much worse than all of above stated by you or anyone on this webpage till now, for if I was minus all of the above mentioned shortcomings, why would I’ve still been languishing in this materialistic creation, which is full of misery? I would have had the fortune of being a servant of a servant of a servant of a pure devotee of Krishna and would have attained his abode by now breaking away for all time sake from this cycle of birth and death. All, the shortcoming that you have seen in me I accept them as simple facts & do so with all humility.
But here on this web page Miss Nilalohita we are not discussing my personal shortcomings. We are discussing about Krishna! who is The Supreme Personality Of Godhead and stating so in all firmness, backing it up with quotes / verses of our Holy Vedic Scripture is called “Authority” or authoritative statement not “ahankar” but refuting that with stupid concoctions needless to remind, which lacks any backing of our holy Vedic Scripture, in short, simply talking gibberish, should strongly and unrelentingly be condemned and my doing so is not privy to a rascal or as many rascals permission ( my contempt is not personal in nature addressed to just one rascal but all the rascals who acts in the above mentioned manner). In case you think my blood pressure is shooting up or I am losing my head, pls, let me comfort you since you were quite concerned last time round, “No” … LOL!
My intention is to put the “Absolute Truth, Krishna!” out there for all to read and get benefited from. If you think I thought my last write up was meant for you to run away you are more naive than I thought. I sincerely hope you don’t run away because, as many times you keep coming back with your pathetic understanding of our sacred Holy Scriptures… sadly only based evidently on your foolery, the more chance I shall have to achieve my objective. So pls don’t run away. Keep coming every day and don’t stop for I assure you in all seriousness I wouldn’t…
All that you have written has already been answered in my previous write up. Oh but yes you simply discarded it by calling it copied from some other blog and so it is. In fact the writer of that blog and I, correspond with each other discussing these issues. I feel copying from that blog was an amazing thing to do as it answered all your foolish misconceptions and beautifully brought forth, The truth about Krishna.
Now let me get this correct that blog, which has only quoted verses from Vedas, Puranas and our other holy scripture not to forget has been well researched and dexterously been put up there is bogus, Srimad Bhagvatam, which is called the only Maha Puran by Vyasa himself and was written by Vyasa with Dev Rishi Narada, is among the 18 puranas, is also bogus and who has no status or intellect, who has this habit of saying Acharyaji, Acharyaji, Acharyaji, Acharyaji… hahahaha ( in the most animated, foolish yet laughable manner ) is to be considered genuine… LOL!… when you said 76 people have copied and have pasted that blog content for you… funny that you so proudly declare it … but all it did was to STATE that you in fact are a foolish person beyond redemption. Seriously! Like really! … hahahahahaha… 76 people tried and failed with you … Good God… It’s like singing before a buffalo… LOL! … but what’s the harm in trying again only here even if this buffalo fails to learn certainly others will.
Let’s get to your accusation of SB contradicting Vedas… and then you state Rig Veda… Not just you but I want all to see here on this web page why I have felt the need to rightly call you Miss Nilohita… foolish

After reading this you should atleast now know Miss Nilohita that neither your understanding of SB is in place as for Rudra being invisible he is so because of Vishnu who resides in him as his supersoul and makes him so. Its not his own strength but the strength provided to him by Vishnu. Its not actually Rudra / Shiva who is invincible but its Vishnu who is so. That is why it is said in the Vedas and our other holy scriptures that Vishnu pervades everything and everyone and you claim to understand Sanskrit… God Miss Nilohita hahahahahahahaha.

“Narayana is perpetual, Brahma come from Narayana, Siva comes from Narayana, Time comes from Narayana. Up, down,all around is Narayana. Inside and outside is Narayana. Narayana is what has happened, what is happening and what will happen. Narayana is the only God who is blemishless, stainless, odorless, endless and who cannot be described. When Narayana is there, there is no other second. He who knows this, achieves Lord Vishnu. Thus read, Yajur Veda.”
Rig Veda 7.40.5: Rudra gets his strength by propitiating Vishnu.

Brihadaaranyaka Upanishad 1.4.10: Says that only the devas “became that” (Brahman) by understanding knowing Brahman. But if the devas are already the all-knowing Brahman, then from whence the question of not understanding that?
Brihadaaranyaka Upanishad 2.1.20: States that all devas emanate from Brahman. Note that this mantra concludes the chapter in which Gargya speaks of meditating on Brahman within each of the devas.
Brihadaaranyaka Upanishad 3.6.1: Gaargi asks by what is the world of the devas pervaded. The ultimate answer is of course Brahman. But the point is, the devas, if Brahman, shouldn’t be pervaded by something else.
Brihadaaranyaka Upanishad 3.9.1-11: This is the famous antaryaami Braahmana in which it is stated that Brahman inhabits (among other things) the various devas presiding over moon, sky, the directions, the sun, etc, yet is not known by them.
Brihadaaranyaka Upanishad 4.4.16: States that the devas meditate on that Brahman as light/longevity.
Brihadaaranyaka Upanishad 5.5.1: States that the devas, along with men and asuras are Prajaapati’s sons.
Brihadaaranyaka Upanishad 5.5.1: States that Brahman created Prajaapati, and Prajaapati created the devas.
Chaandogya Upanishad 4.3.1-7: Describe He who swallowed the other four devas (agni, vAyu, ApaH, prAna), and then describes Him as the creator of all beings.
Katha Upanishad 2.3.3: States that the devas (Agni, Vaayu, Indra, Suurya, and Mrtyu) carry out their respective functions out of fear of Him (Brahman).
Mundaka Upanishad 2.1.7: States that from Him emerged the devas and all other living entities.
Prashna Upanishad 2.1-4: Explains how the various devas presiding over different parts of the body are all subordinate to Vishnu.
Narayana Suktam:
narayanam mahagnyeyam vishvatmanam parayanam |

Lord Narayana is the greatest knowledge (Mahajneya), the soul of the world (Visvatma) and the best refuge (parayana). Narayana is the most effulgent (Parajyoti), Narayana is the Super soul (Paramatma).

“Narayana desired to create people. Because of this thought, Soul (prana) rose from him. Mind and all body parts, sky, air, light, water and the earth which can carry all these created beings took their form. From Narayana, Brahma was born. From Narayana, Rudra (Shiva) was born. From Narayana, Indra was born .From Narayana those people who rule these human beings were born. From Narayana, the twelve suns, eleven Rudras, Eight Vasus and all those meters (for writing) were born. All these function because of Narayana. All these end in Narayana.

Therefore, Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One should meditate upon Him, glorify Him, serve Him and worship Him. Om tat sat.[Gopal Tapani Upanishad 1.54]

Because since the beginning of creation He lovingly protects (alati) the conditioned souls (gopa), He is known as Gopala. Om tat sat. I am a spirit. I am a part-and-parcel of Krishna. My spiritual form is eternally full of bliss. Om.[Gopal Tapani Upanishad 2.50]

Apart from this Krishna has already declared in the Bhagavad Gita:

BG 15.15: I am seated in everyone’s heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness.By all the Vedas, I am to be known. Indeed, I am the compiler of Vedānta, and I am the knower of the Vedas.
Mahabharata, Shanti Parva (12.328.5 onwards, dialogue between Lord Krsna and Arjuna):

In the brAhma muhUrta, at the end of the night, due to the mercy of the extremely brilliant Lord, a lotus emerged from His navel and in that lotus, Brahma was born, ofcourse, due to His grace.

At the end of the day, the Lord [present as antaryAmi of Brahma *] created Rudra out of krodha-guna, to enable him to be the ‘samhara-karta’. Thus, these two ‘fine-among-wise’, Brahma and Rudra, are known to have been born out of grace and anger respectively.
* This interpretation is necessary because in the later sections of Moksadharma, Brahma addresses Rudra as a son.

Thus, they carry out the instructed tasks of creation and destruction. However, they, the givers of boons to all the creatures, are just the agents.

If I did not worship Rudra, the bestower of boons, in such a way i.e… worshiping the indwelling Lord first some would not worship Me, the indwelling Lord, at all – this is my opinion.

And ma’am Nilalohita,
I had visited your blog and I must say that it doesn’t refute the philosophies of Ramanuja or Madhva in any way! Plus since you donot accept the Vaishnava interpretaion and claim it to only be an interpretation. How can I accept yours? You have quoted only the so-called upanishads that have not been quoted by scholars b4 the 16th century. Many of these so called upanishads contradict the samhitas,brahmanas,aranyakas and the authentic upanishads. Furthermore, even Shankaracharya doesnot quote from these. Also you should know that except the 10 principle Upanishads and some other,many are heavily interpolated ,with lost parts, etc. In this case, one should only accept those verses that the ancient veda bhashyakaras have quoted. The truth is that the various names of the gods described in the vedas belong to only one Supreme God,the Brahman, who is also called Vishnu. The proof is present in the shastras:
Rig veda:
Yo devanam namadhe eka eva
Vishnu alone bears the names of all other gods and that He alone is the Supreme God worshipped by all these names
Bhalvaveya-sruti :
namani visvani na santi loke yad avirasit purusasya sarvam
namani sarvani yam avisanti tam vai visnum paramam udaharanti
“The names of this world are not different from Him. All names in this world are names of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. All names refer to Him, Lord Visnu, Whom the wise declare is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”
Vaisampayana Muni explains that all these names are names of Lord Krishna.
The Skanda Purana also explains:
sri-narayanadini namani vinanyani rudradibhyo harir dattavan
(Quoted in the Govinda-bhasya, 4.1.28)
“Except for Narayana and some other names, Lord Hari gave away His names to Lord Siva and the other demigods.”
Narayana and some other names are names that belong to Lord Hari alone. Strict grammatical rules laid down by Panini declares this which has been accepted by all vaidikas. Furthermore the recent day sahasranaamas like Siva and Lalita Sahasranaamas donot contain such an important name like Narayana,used extensively in the upanishads. But Vishnu Sahasranama, documented even by Charaka(born,300 BC),the great knower of Ayurveda has accepted its greatness in the Charaka Samhita.
You said that the Vishnu Sahasranama doesnot contain the names Pashupati and Asani. i’d like to tell you that Gaudiya vaishnavas of Bengal while chanting Sri Krishna ashtottara shatanama of Brahmanda purana in Bengali, conclude by repeating,”KRISHNERA ***ANANTA*** NAANA MAHIMAA APAAR! ” which means Krishna has endless and unlimited names which have endless glories. Among his endless names, Asani and Pashupati are also important names. Since Bhallaveya sruti declares all names to be Visnu’s only, there is no problem in it.
The authors of the Narayanastra blog are brahmins as they themselves revealed and if you believe in ur aryan invasion theory you should know that it also says that Brahmins of the south are of Aryan descent. And I think u dont know this that that theory has been debunked years ago and scientists have called it “PSEUDO-HITLERIAN THEORY”. Vivekananda himself declared this theory to be false in one of his lectures and you claim to be the follower of Ramkrishna,his guru whose pics u used in ur blog.
Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati will always be my guru and guru-mata. May they shower their blessings on us vaishnavas and mae us fit to serve the feet of Sri Sri Radha Govinda.
May God bless you!

@ Nilalohitaji,
And one more thing, Srimad Bhagavatam ,the amala purana is accepted by all vaidikas including traditional followers of Advaita. It never contradicts the vedas or aythentic part of itihasas.he difference between the descriptions in the mahabharata and sb can be because of several reasons. As all Vaidikas even ancients affirm that this Mahabharata is a highly interpolated text and even at times veda virodha. But such is not the case with SB. Also these differences can also be due to the occurence of the same events during different kalpas. Many such examples of difference due to kalpa are found in vaidik shastras. And what you said about Shiva being undefeated in Rig Veda is actually about Vishnu,mostly in the form of Lord Shankarshana who is being praised as Rudra/Shiva. All suktams found in the Vedas are dedicated only to Lord Vishnu or Goddess Sri in one form or the other.

I have answered her in detail for all her question not even once quoting SB but showing her what ever SB has said is acknowledged by all.
The only difference about SB and Mahabharata is that SB as per Veda Vyas own admission is the esoteric knowledge of The Supreme Personality of GodHead Krishna. It was written by Veda Vyas so that the supreme knowledge could be written about and told to the world. It was written for the highly intellectual ones for the very high ranking Brahmanas with superior intellect where as Mahabharata was written for the general masses so that they could understand and know about Krishna.
Always remember that people like Nilalohita are hell bent upon confusing you since they themselves are confused beyond redemption. In this birth of their’s it is not possible for them to understand the Supreme Truth Krishna no matter how much we want or try. Only if Krishna kripa happens only then can she know about Krishna. Knowing about Krishna is ati durlabham.
We know Uddhav himself a knower of Vedas couldn’t understand or recognise Krishna until Krishna himself decided to be kind to him and take away his ignorance then what can we talk about people like us and Nilalohita.
All you should tell her is what adi guru Shankaracharya himself told the whole world in the end, which is… Bhaj Govindam Bhaj Govindam Bhaj Govindam ” Murdh Mate “…

Well, well. I didn’t knew that the very foundation of Vaishnavism is so weak that it would require four men to face a solitary woman. First Admin@Narayanastra Blog and his boyfriend Humble Bhagawata Bandhu, and now you and your mate rishiexcess. I get the same feeling Kali Ma would have had when Raktabija’s clones surrounded her. I block him, and later you and your friend bump into me, this cannot be sheer coincidence. Well, you mentioned the names Narayana, Vishnu and Vasudeva and you also claim to have visited my blog. So I don’t think I need to repeat all again that Narayana & Vishnu are Kali Ma’s names and Vasudeva refers to Lord Shiva. And as far as commentary of Acharyaji is concerned, I told the same thing to your boss (Narayanastra), and I am telling you as well- I study the commentaries by different great leaders, and then write my own commentary. And BTW Acharyaji mentioned the word “Pancharatra”, I admit. But what proof do you or any of your associates have that “Pancharatra” here refers to Vaishnava Tantras and not the five night long Yagna that Sage Narayana had performed?
Good question. If I don’t accept Vaishnava interpretation, then why should you accept mine. Well, I give you three good reasons:
1) What I wrote is not “Interpretation”, but constant ultimate truth which one can also call revealation.
2) I am a Suryavanshi from my father’s side, and thus honorbound to speak what is truth, no matter how horrific it is. Doubting me is a trial in vain.
3) The truth I revealed is scientific and when time comes to defend ourselves from the Abrahamic barbarians, it would be the truth revealed by me that would save you, not love.
BTW do you have slightest idea that Vedas have been penned down into 4 sections, 1,130 Samhitas, 1,130 Brahmanas, 1,130 Aranyakas, and 1,130 Upanisads? This makes a total of 4,520 divisions. At present, most of these texts have disappeared due to the influence of time. We can only find 11 Samhitas, 18 Brahmanas, 7 Aranyakas and 220 Upanisads which constitutes a mere 6% of the entire Vedic canon. So can we afford rejecting any of the present Upanishads only because we don’t like the content present in them? And for your kind information, I am a Bengli Vaidika Brahmin from my mother’s side and I have seen with my own eyes the Upanishads which I quoted and mind you, these manuscripts date back to BCs. So try to decieve someone else. All those who qouted the “so-called” Upanishads of yours, were correct. There are no interpolations in any of Shruti texts and this is another truth that my historian relative revealed to me. BTW your “ancient bhasyakars” don’t quote Brahma Samhita as well. But does that stop you from accepting it? And will you be bit more specific about the verse no. That you quote? Since you mention Vishnu Sahasranama here, know that we Shaktashaivites revere it as well, unlike Vaishnavas who sully their souls with the sin of blaspheming Lord Shiva’s name. But unfortunate for you, I didn’t see any commentary of Vishnu Sahasranama mentioning the names Pashupati and Asani. Well sweetheart, copying “grammatical” points from Narayanastra blog and actually knowing grammar are two different things. I know that people like Shakesphere’s Romeo & Juliet more than Newton’s laws of motion, but my dear, world is governed by Newton’s laws. Absence of Romeo & Juliet won’t be a big deal, but absence of Newton’s laws would be a chaotic situation. So Worship Govinda, o foolish Vaishnava. Your pety grammatical rules will not save you from hell.
Now look mister, I really don’t think Bhagavatam is all bogus, but yes, authenticity of its historical and phillosophical parts are doubtful as they contradict the true meanings of Vedas and Mahabharata. But the scientific parts which are in sync with science, I welcome them. BTW what proof do you have that Mahabharata is interpolated? Lastly, the deity of Vedas can never be Lakshmi-Narayana because unlike Shiva-Kali, they are never in any Purana or other script described as androgynous sharing a common body.

Dear rishiexecs sir,
Shankarshana is the ishta devata of Shiva as per Bhagavatam,Garuda puran and vishnu puran.It is he who carries all the names of Rudra.For example, Shiva is called trayambaka(three-eyed) because Narasimha (Shankarshana himself) is three eyed(according to Narasimha Tapani Upanishad,narasimhadeva has surya,chandra and agni as his three eyes), he is also called Rudra,Ishana,Pashupati for the same reason. The following establish Narasimha as sakshat Shankarshana:
The vishnu purana describes Narasimha as SankarshanAmsam. The Vishnu DharmOttara purAnA explicitly identifies Narasimha as Sankarshana by saying Haris sankarshanaamsena narasimha-vapur-dharah and also says that Narasimha destroys ignorance, sankarshanaatmaa bhagavaan ajnaanasya vinaasanah. Obviously, the gunams of Sankarshana are balam and jnAnam. This was exhibited by Narasimha to destroy Hiranyakasipu and fulfil the desire of prahlada by understanding the latter’s needs respectively.
And as i said before one of the principal teachings of Gaudiya Vaishnavism in interpreting the vedas is to identify all the names as that of Krishna alone.Names like Indra,prana,Vayu,Hiranyagarbha,Prajapati,Agni,Brahman,Purusha etc. are all his names alone according to Govinda Bhashyam.
The relevant pramanas o this matter are:
Rig veda:
Yo devanam namadhe eka eva
“Vishnu alone bears the names of all other gods and that He alone is the Supreme God worshipped by all these names.”
Bhalvaveya-sruti :
namani visvani na santi loke yad avirasit purusasya sarvam
namani sarvani yam avisanti tam vai visnum paramam udaharanti
“The names of this world are not different from Him. All names in this world are names of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. All names refer to Him, Lord Visnu, Whom the wise declare is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”
The Skanda Purana also explains:
sri-narayanadini namani vinanyani rudradibhyo harir dattavan
(Quoted in the Govinda-bhasya, 4.1.28)
“Except for Narayana and some other names, Lord Hari gave away His names to Lord Siva and the other demigods.”

He is Siva, for, He is absolutely blissful.
Hari is Sarva, for He closes (the gates of) happiness against (the wicked).
The Lord is called Krittivasa, for He shelters or dwells in the body covered over with skin, to guide it in life.
He is called Virincha; for He produces the world out of Himself;
He is Brahma, for He is perfect and He is Indra (the wealthy), for He is the sole Lord .

Attributing all names to him is correct because of the presence of the following shastric pramanas:
The Gopala-tapani Upanisad confirms :

And the Katha Upanisad (1.2.15) also confirms it:
sarve veda yat-padam amananti tapamsi sarvani ca yad vadanti
“All the Vedas worship the Supreme Lord’s lotus feet, and all austerities proclaim His glories.”
And in the Hari-vamsa it is affirmed:
vede ramayane caiva purane bharate tatha
adav ante ca madhye ca harih sarvatra giyate
“In the Vedic literature, including the Ramayana, Puranas ad Mahabharata, from the very beginning (adau), to the end (ante ca), as well as within the middle (madhye ca), only Hari, the supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Hari is explained.”

This really shows her ignorance of Shankaracharya (who she likes to respectfully call “Acharyaji”) and his works. Shankaracharya mentions pAncharAtra in the pAncharAtra-adhikaraNa of Brahma Sutras, and says that he disagrees with some philosophical aspects of it. He calls the pAncharAtrikas as “bhAgavatas” and “pAncharAtra siddhAntIs”, and says that they worship Lord Vasudeva/Narayana as supreme. This obviously refers to the Vaishnava tantra, since there are none who are called “bhAgavatas” and “pAncharAtra siddhAntIs” anywhere in history other than Vaishnavas. See Heliodorus’ (the Vaishnava from Greece) inscription in the iron pillar dating 113 BC:
“Devadevasa Va [sude]vasa Garudadhvajo ayam
karito i[a] Heliodorena bhaga-
vatena Diyasa putrena Takhasilakena
Yonadatena agatena maharajasa
Amtalikitasa upa[m]ta samkasam-rano

vasena [chatu]dasena rajena vadhamanasa”
— Original inscription
See the epithets “garuDadhvajaH” “vAsudevasya” “bhAgavatena Heliodorena” Also see further explanation here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliodorus_pillar
And what does Shankara say about the bhAgavatas of pAncarAtra? See here… (I had posted this info in Sanskrit on my blog, but since Nilalohita has zero knowledge of Sanskrit, Veda, or Shastras, she did not understand it as we expect)
“-It is true, we reply, that a part of the system which we are going to discuss agrees with the Vedânta system, and hence affords no matter for controversy…”
“Bhâgavatas are of opinion that the one holy (bhagavat) Vâsudeva, whose nature is pure knowledge, is what really exists, and that he, dividing himself fourfold, appears in four forms (vyûha), as Vâsudeva, Sankarshana, Pradyumna, and Aniruddha. Vâsudeva denotes the highest Self, Sankarshana the individual soul, Pradyumna the mind (manas), Aniruddha the principle of egoity (ahankâra). Of these four Vâsudeva constitutes the ultimate causal essence, of which the three others are the effects.–The believer after having worshipped Vâsudeva for a hundred years by means of approach to the temple (abhigamana), procuring of things to be offered (upâdâna), oblation (îgyâ), recitation of prayers, &c. (svâdhyâya), and devout meditation (yoga), passes beyond all affliction and reaches the highest Being.”
Who, other than Vaishnavas talk about four vyUhas?
And what does Shankaracharya say about these Vaishnavas?
“Concerning this system we remark that we do not intend to controvert the doctrine that Nârâyana, who is higher than the Undeveloped, who is the highest Self, and the Self of all, reveals himself by dividing himself in multiple ways; for various scriptural passages, such as ‘He is onefold, he is threefold’ (Kh. Up. VII, 26, 2)’, teach us that the highest Self appears in manifold forms. Nor do we mean to object to the inculcation of unceasing concentration of mind on the highest Being which appears in the Bhâgavata doctrine under the forms of reverential approach, &c.; for that we are to meditate on the Lord we know full well from Smriti and Scripture.”
Now, one can see clearly what Shankaracharya means by nArAyaNa and vAsudeva. So much for the theory that nArAyaNa/viShNu is pArvatI and vAsudeva is Shiva according to Shankaracharya.
Clearly, this Nilalohita has sub-zero knowledge in these matters.

Translation: Those who worship the bhUtagaNas such as Vinayaka, Matru-Ganas, and Chatur bhaginis attain these bhUtagaNas. Such results are temporary and they return to samsAra. Those who worship me, the vaiShNavas attain Me, attaining endless result, and they do not enter the cycle of rebirth and death. Even though the amount of exertion is the same, the devotees of other demigods attain limited results. Not only do My devotees attain the infinite fruit of non-return to samsAra, but also the means of worshiping Me is very easy.
Gita Bhashya 17.4:
प्रेतान् भूतगणांश्च सप्तमातृकादींश्च अन्ये यजन्ते तामसाः जनाः
Translation: Those whose nature is tAmasic (mode of ignorance), they worship the pretas (spirits of the dead), bhUtagaNas, and the sapta-mAtrikas.
And Shankaracharya considers Shaiva Agamas, let alone shAkta ones as non-Vedic:
sā ceyaṃ vedabāhyeśvarakalpanānekaprakārā | kecittāvatsāṃkhyayogavyapāśrayāḥ kalpayanti pradhānapuruṣayoradhiṣṭhātā kevalaṃ nimittakāraṇamīśvara itaretaravilakṣaṇāḥ pradhānapuruṣeśvarā iti | māheśvarāstu manyante kāryakāraṇayogavidhiduḥkhāntāḥ pañca padārthāḥ paśupatineśvareṇa paśupāśavimokṣaṇāyopadiṣṭāḥ paśupatirīśvaro nimittakāraṇamiti varṇayanti ||
Translation: “The theories about the Lord which are independent of the Vedânta are of various nature….The Mâhesvaras (Saivas) maintain that the five categories, viz. effect, cause, union, ritual, the end of pain, were taught by the Lord Pasupati (Siva) to the end of breaking the bonds of the animal (i.e. the soul); Pasupati is, according to them, the Lord, the operative cause.”
Note that Shankara does not say here, unlike Pancharatra Adhikarana, that he makes an exception to the devotional worship of Shiva taught by the Shaivas. He condemns the whole system as non-Vedic (veda-bAhya).
I am sure this uncouth* she-idiot Nilalohita will now come up with some fantastical and absurd explanation for all these statements of Shankaracharya. But let the others know the truth from what I have written.

@Nilalohitaji,
“Good question. If I don’t accept Vaishnava interpretation, then why should you accept mine. Well, I give you three good reasons:
1) What I wrote is not “Interpretation”, but constant ultimate truth which one can also call revealation.
2) I am a Suryavanshi from my father’s side, and thus honorbound to speak what is truth, no matter how horrific it is. Doubting me is a trial in vain.
3) The truth I revealed is scientific and when time comes to defend ourselves from the Abrahamic barbarians, it would be the truth revealed by me that would save you, not love.”
Well well ma’am,
Answer to your point 1) Yes yours is an interpretation. Forcefully clinging to misinterpretations and falsity doesnot make it the absolute truth. The Saivite interpretation is much flawed as revealed by Srimad Shankaracharya Bhagavatpada in the Shariraka Bhashya on Vedanta sutra, his Gita Bhashya and other texts. Well vedas is not only about material science,time,space of this material universe which you ramble so much about but it consists of knowledge about God, who is beyond the modes of matter and who is transcendental. Our interpretation is in harmony with the Veda and the authentic acharyas and we don’t have to quote from spurious texts calling themselves shrutis.
Answer to your point 2) We didn’t ask your lineage and so there is no point giving such vague comments in trying to prove your imagination truth. You might be from that lineage but you are not Sri Ramachandra,the epitome of knowledge and character. Your comments and your replies to other Vaishnavas in your blog tell the contrary worse than mlecchas! Since you said your mother is Brahmin and your father is kshatriya, marriage between them is pratiloma varna sankara which is forbidden in Vedic dharma shastras under normal circumstances, which berefts you from the piousness of both these families hence I guess you have such heinous and unrespectful nature. P.S. I am not a castist and don’t believe in caste system by birth.
Answer to your point 3) Quite a vague comment. I have myself debated and my fellow Vaishnavas too have debated with Abrahamics,especially uncouth islamic fundamentalists who couldnot take up the weight of veda shastra or even itihasa and purana and i didn’t since that time seen them hovering near us and we had successfully established Lakshmi-Narayana as the Supreme Brahman.
And your comment on Lakshmi-Narayana(Radha-Krishna) not being the supreme tattva is quite bogus. Severeal agamic as well as few puranic scriptures laud Hari as VAIKUNTHA KAMALAJA, half Lakshmi and half Vishnu form of Narayana.The Vedas laud Hari and Sri as the supreme tattva beyond doubt. The Vishnu purana calls Lakshmi as Anapayini, the one never separate from the Lord.Your scriptures don’t even call Shiva or Parvati by the name of Narayana anywhere.You might quote a sole verse from Kurma Purana to support your stance but even that doesnot make Narayana sakshat shakti or prakriti. This is because in the Vedas,to yopur utter surprise, Narayana is Adi Purusha, the purusha tattva of Brahman not prakriti. This is the evidence from Narayana Upanishad of Atharva Veda:
Om atha purusho ha vai nanraayano kaamayata prajaah srjeyeti
Translation- Then the supreme purusha, Narayana desired to create.
Thus your interpretation that Narayana is Kali/Shakti/Prakriti is debunked by Vedas themselves.
One more point: you said that the foundation of Vaishnavism is weak because 4 people are proving u wrong. Being Male and female is material.You should identify yourself as atma, which is neither male nor female. You gave us the situation of Kali and Raktabija. But Mother Kali is not the one who gives false meanings to the Vedas and spreading adharma like you. Brahma Samhita is an ancient pancharatric text that was long lost but was partly discovered in the form of its fifth chapter by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in the library of Sri Adikeshava Devasthana(temple) at Thiruvattur in Kerala when he happened to visit the temple during his teertha yatra.It has been quoted in many places by our acharyas and it is authentic as it is in accordance with the Vedas,Srimad Bhagavatam, Gita and other Pancharatric texts.

(“So what if the names pashupati and asani are not mentioned in the vishnu Sahara nama? The Sahara name consists of only 1000 names but Vishnu has unlimited names. As the vedas declare that all names are his and the devas are named after him only. The commentaries on Vishnu Sahasra nama explains the names which are mentioned in it.”)
Debunk, debunk, debunk. So mister, by how many names are you known by, with two of your names being JUSTTRANSCEND and Haridham? My friend told me about you. And what are the unlimited names? And ‘Sahara nama’! You cannot even spell Sahasra Nama properly and you are constantly lecturing me about some fictious ‘Vishnu Tattva’ mumbo-jumbo. BTW homosexuality is also forbidden in Vedas. But surprisingly we see that highest no. of Hindu homosexuals are Vaishnavas, especially from Gaudiya Sampradaya. So sweetheart, before commenting about my parents, better take a look at yourself :). Well, I guess that psychopath “Narayanastra authors” would have told you to say so. So tell that chicken that even incest is a taboo in Sanatan Dharma but we see that South Indians commit this nasty act by marrying their own siblings, cousins, uncle or aunts. So it would be really nice of him if keeps that filthy mouth of his shut regarding inter caste marriage when his own character is a matter of controversy :).
“Severeal agamic as well as few puranic scriptures laud Hari as VAIKUNTHA KAMALAJA, half Lakshmi and half Vishnu form of Narayana.”
You know, at the beginning, I used to laugh at you guys. But now I pity you. Vaikuntha Kamalaja is an iconography inspired by Ardhanarishvara and makes its first appearance in 11th century. Moreover, Vaikuntha Kamalaja is a regional deity restricted to Kashmir and Nepal. Proof? We don’t see temples dedicated to this deity in Indian plains.
“Well vedas is not only about material science,time,space of this material universe which you ramble so much about but it consists of knowledge about God, who is beyond the modes of matter and who is transcendental.”
You know, at the beginning, I used to laugh at you guys. But now I pity you. I pity you that the act of your parents sending you to school has gone in vain. I know that next you will narrate some cock & bull fairy tale about some fictional “Spiritual” world, making Lord Krishna a tyrant alien residing in some fictional extraterrestrial planet “Goloka” and “Vaikuntha”. But the question is, where is the proof that these really exist? Mind you, even though Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet is more tempting than Newton’s Laws of motion, but the harsh truth is that world is governed by the principles of Newton’s Laws and not some fairy tale by an English bard.
One more thing, I don’t quote Puranas as there might be chances of interpolation. But since you are so much into your own fool’s paradise, then let’s see what Shrutis say regarding this:
“shuunya.n tatprakR^itirmaayaa brahmavij~naanamityapi |
shivaH purushha iishaano nityamaatmeti kathyate |” (Maha Upanishad VI:61)
“That Brahman has been (identified with) emptiness, Prakriti, Maya and also consciousness. It has also been said to be “Shiva – Purusha, Eshana, the eternal and the self (Atman)””.
See, Brahman is identified as Prakriti and Maya besides Purusha. So, the verse “Om atha purusho ha vai nanraayano kaamayata prajaah srjeyeti” is correct, but your limited understanding is faulty. As far as Maha Upanishad is concerned, this can be explained through a simple Mathematical reasoning. If Brahman = Purusha and Brahman = Prakriti/Maya as well, then Purusha = Prakriti/Maya because if A = B & B = C, then that means A = C as well.
“you said that the foundation of Vaishnavism is weak because 4 people are proving u wrong.”
Of course it is. And why not, when it is based on so many superstitions and cock & bull fairy tales instead of science! Take my advice, save your bedtime stories for knee-highs. But I doubt, even knee-highs will spit on your face and hit your face with their slippers if you bark nonsense in front of them. 🙂
(“But Mother Kali is not the one who gives false meanings to the Vedas and spreading adharma like you.”)
Since when Kali Ma become a Mother Goddess to you Vaishnavas, who describe her as a ghastly deity who loves bloodshed and compare her and Lord Shiva’s relationship with a sex-worker? Okay, leave that, I ask you a simple question. What is the colour of leaf?
“Brahma Samhita is an ancient pancharatric text”
When did I say that it is not a Pancharatric text? BTW I have never seen any Vaishnava showing any regard for Tantric writings. So it would be better if you don’t ask me to respect Pancharatric writings either, for nothing comes for free. A small transaction is required. If you expect respect out of others, you must be respectful as well.
“it is in accordance with the Vedas,”
There is a limit of lying, and you are crossing all limits. After containing so many superstitions it cannot be in sync with Vedas, the pinnacle of scientific reasoning.

I know I just said something beyond what your puny little brain can comprehend but hey since when has reasoning ever been under the purview of your dim wits. hahahaha.

You talk about your lineage of being a Surya Vanshi when none either from Surya or Chandra vansh exist today a fact which you should know but you clearly don’t and no I am not willing to delve further into throwing any light on it. After all what’s the point? One can teach a snake, a dog, a pig, a lion or any other animal but clearly not a lowlife like you.
A person who poses to be someone with scientific inclination and interests when presented with the opportunity to demonstrate her knowledge only has a bogus concocted lineage to come forthwith so as to shamelessly prove herself of dignified decent, and on basis of just her gender & bogus lineage tries to coerce people to believe in her words without offering a shred of proof or evidence on the subject due to, which she makes this plea, is only reflective of her traumatic upbringing and her breeding. LOL!
When you ran out of your rant and clearly have been crushed and defeated by each and every Vaishnav on this platform individually, who you really are and what you are made up became evident and is on full display here for all to see and access. After reading what all you have written any pious and genuine Shiva or Shakti follower would look at you with only disgust.
You abused Vaishnavas and basically displayed the extent of your soul’s depravity in doing so. You have used Mata Kali’s name to advance your foolish arguments. Just to score cheap points you went on to even write dirty things about Lord Shiva and Mata Kali and tried to put the onus on Vaishnavas and you call yourself Shiva Shakti bhakta… seriously!… This shows that you actually are a very emotionally abused and distressed person and are in an urgent & serious need of a professional psychiatric help.
We are not like you. We will not abuse Lord Shiva Or Mata Kali or Mata Parvati for they are the foremost devotees / vaishnavas of Lord Krishna / Lord Vishnu. Yes Vaishnava’s the one’s you called homosexuals… Do you know one of the names of mata Parvati is Vaishnavi ? In your quest to prove yourself superior you have fallen below the most inferior. While others were just having a discourse in order to give you a chance to learn more you turned around and showed your real identity, which can only be of a very crass and cheap family lineage.
You want to go ahead and abuse me go ahead and do that. You said you pity us… its way better than being you … because from now on you don’t exist. We don’t care to laugh at you or pity you because to us you are no more than trash or filth. Nobody has any feelings towards trash or filth. It only purpose is to be thrown away.

Since when is being “ArdhanAri” a criterion for supremacy? Anyway, “ardhanAri” is also a name of vishNu if etymology is used. This she-cow continues to make a fool of herself. paShupati is declared to be a name of narasimha in the narasimha tApanIya upanishad itself.
shuunya.n tatprakR^itirmaayaa brahmavij~naanamityapi |
shivaH purushha iishaano nityamaatmeti kathyate |” (Maha Upanishad VI:61)
“That Brahman has been (identified with) emptiness, Prakriti, Maya and also consciousness. It has also been said to be “Shiva – Purusha, Eshana, the eternal and the self (Atman)””.
Her moronic ranting has failed to notice that we have interpreted this vAkya in the nArAyaNastra blog itself. The link is here: http://narayanastra.blogspot.in/p/the-absurdity-of-shakta-interpretations.html
And note what is said under that vAkya she quoted,
“Vaidika Interpretation: “Shiva”, “Purusha” and “IshAna” are names of nArAyaNa.”
“sarvam sharvashivas sthAnur”, “ishAna prAnadaH”, etc occur in the sahasranAma. These are vishNu’s names. And the shakta nonsense has been demolished in that link.
The translation given by this idiot (who just copies and pastes from various sources) is wrong. Brahman is identified with prakRti, which is of bewildering power (mAya) only by virtue of having everything as its body (yasya prithvi sarIram ~ Br.Up). Names that denote the body also denote the self. And this Brahman is also shUnya as it is devoid of doShas (shUnya doSha).
Even the name “shUnya” occurs in sahasranAma.
This moron does not even know the difference between Gaudiya, Sri, Madhva and Smarta vaishnavas and lumps all conclusions into one umbrella of “vaiShnavism”. First get a clear grip on ancient Shaiva and Vaishnava traditions before coming to refute.
And then, a long and meandering rant – LMFAO, south indians marry their cousins? Only non-brahmins do that moron. You have been living near too many jihadi camps in kashmir, perhaps it has addled your brain.
Enough of this nonsense. I can resort to n number of name-calling techniques, but this site would probably censor them all. Let her watch Devon Ke Dev, BR Chopra’s Mahabharat and other such nonsense…that’s all she can do. Heck, she can’t even reply to a single pramAna without degenerating into random subjects on science, etc. And note her stupidity – when we said Narasimha was reddish black in color, she declared lions are not red in color. LMAO, are we talking about ordinary lions here? This was paramAtma in the form of a lion, is there a limit to what he can do?
And learn the difference between ISKCON and oher vaishnava traditions before spouting such nonsense. Ancient shaivas and shaktas were never vedic and never considered themselves to be so.

Well, nitwit, you argue using the veda, right? Then admit that every vaidika, including “achAryaji” shankara, have accepted the pAncharAtra’s views on vyUhas and nArAyaNa being parabrahman as vaidika. In contrast, even “achAryaji” has discarded the shaiva system entirely and “achAryaji” says that shakta worship of mAtrikas are tAmasic.
Ancient Shaivas and Shaktas never used the veda as pramAna. Some of them even rejected the veda. For them, their respective agamas and tantras are alone authority. Hence, you are fighting a battle which was lost a thousand odd years ago. Wonder what is your fixation with the veda when you don’t know one akShara and keep copying and pasting either Griffith’s translations or from Shaiva blogs which have already been refuted in the nArAyaNastra blog?

According to the spotless vedantic philosophy of Achintya Bheda bheda and Shakti parinamavada prakriti, may a, kala, etc, everything is the bahiranga shakti of the supreme shaktiman the purusha, controller of all shaktis .who is the parambrahman of the vedas. All others are depended on him. That purusha is Narayana who is the controller of maya/prakriti. Being his shakti, prakriti in one sense is non different from him but yet it being material and controlled is different from purusha/brahman. That is the meaning of the shruti. Mathematics is not always suitable as I said b4 for the understanding of the vedas.mathematically,1-1=0.but if you consider brahma or the vedas, then the laws of mathematics are non applicable.
The vedas say: om purnam adhah purnam idam purnat purmam udacyate…
Which means if you take away the complete whole from the complete whole still the complete whole remains…
Thus it is 1-1=1 or 1-0.345=1, etc.
Here “1” indicates the complete whole which is Brahman. So this is the limit of maths or science with regard to vedas. Face the truth that u don’t know the abcd of Vedanta. What to speak of you even believe in the area invasion theory that has been debunked by scientists half a century ago.such an oldie racist you are!
So cover your face with rag otherwise piles of spit and pig shit will cover your face.
And I don’t have to explain how much I respect mother Durga the supreme material power. Another name of hers is bhakti and yoga maya, who connects (yogam) us to Sri Hari.she has been glorified immensely by the go swam ins and other gaudiya acharyas. So do not use such names 4 her .You are insulting ur own Ishta devata.
Pancharatra has been glorified by many ancient vedic authorities including shankaracharya .tantric?? Pancharatra is also a tantric scripture dat is in accordance to the vedas and do not contradict it. You’ve got a wrong notion of tantra . FYI the sakta and shiva tantra whenever they don’t contradict the vedas have been quoted by our goswamins and acharyas whenever required. So you can’t say that we disregard the other tantra completely. U being a person having 0 knowledge of Vedanta telling dat pancharatra is not in sync with the vedas is dumb hilarious.
If u do want to defeat us, do that with vedic reasoning and quotes from scriptures not by rambling like psychopaths and speaking like a foul mouthed barbarian. So show some same and act like an aryan(noble) if u claim to be one. And one more thing the narAyanastra blog authors are my seniors and since they belong to the sri vaishnava sampradaya I do respect them and they did not teach me. I have quoted that blog only when it is okay to do so from the gaudiya point of view.
One more info : in some places instead of writing “dat”(that) I have by mistake typed “day”. So Pls excuse me.
At last I am nothing but a puppet at the hands of the purusha rays. May they help me to quickly reach my goal:the lotus feet of the Divya dampati.

(“My names? Your friends telling you about me?”)
Sweetheart, before calling me a retard, answer me honestly, are you dyslexic? Or the word “perhaps” is unknown to you? No problem if you are not the person I am talking about. Maybe the uncanny resemblance of the usage of words is just a coincidence, or maybe you’re trying to mask yourself.
(“You know I don’t give a damp 2 u or your friends. And I don’t know who u r speaking of but I don’t possess such names.”)
As if I am dying to listen you bark. You and your friends are so cheap that you don’t even deserve my apathy. You are no different than a cockroach to me.
(“I don’t think data u are so retarded or blind as to not notice data I had spelt it correctly in the very next sentence and ur brain didn’t give u even a hint day it was a typing error.”)
I bet you are suffering from dyslexia, due to which you can shamelessly declare that you committed error while typing the name of something so important as Vishnu Sahasranama. Spelling it in next sentence correctly is no excuse to justify you error.
(“How can I even take the pains to teach someone who doesn’t even understand the “s” of spirituality, something so high and esoteric as “Vishnu tattva”?”)
No thanks, I am not interested in learning fiction, especially when I myself am a biology teacher.
(“To a materialistic atheist with absolutely zero understanding of Vedanta, such high knowledge is always fictions or fairytale..”)
I must admit, you can compete with stand-up comedian Kapil Sharma in cracking jokes. Okay, I don’t expect a dyslexic like you to comprehend even “v” of Vedanta, atleast you can tell me what is the Sanskrit word for atheist?
(“I remember a proverb in English ” grapes are sour” in hindi” naach na Jaane angan teda” & in bengali” naachtey na parley u than baika” which fits ur situation.”)
Even I am reminded of two proverbs in your case- “Kutte ko ghee hazam nahi hoti”, and “bhaluker hathe khonta”. Now let’s discuss how. 1st proverb in Hindi fits you as a dyslexic person like you to comprehend that the great sages who were scientists, mathematicians and historians will not write Aesop’s fables in Puranas and Samhitas. As far as Vedas are concerned, these very sages gleaned their principles from Vedas which is a clear-cut evidence that Vedas are not fairy tales as you believe them to be. Now 2nd proverb fits you as Vedas, when in armatures like you, can give rise to chaotic situations like this.
(“You can’t even understand the truth of the vedas and u keep on barking as if u know everything and every other thing is fictions, right?”)
You’re such a copy-cat. I used the word “bark” for you and you foolishly copy my word:). But you know something, by draping tiger skin, dog doesn’t becomes tiger, and I am the tigress here. Likewise, simply by copying my words you can’t revert your status as a dog, since you and your friends have proved yourselves as flea-bitten rabid dogs by trying to outnumber me. BTW, when did you four were dragged to dog-pound last time?
(“Madam no one is discussing your or anyone else’s sexuality or fertility here.
I don’t support it and neither do any traditional gaudiya or any other vaishnava school support it.this is not the teaching of our acharyas. And do you always talk like day speaking without any proofs whatsoever? Can you locate it from the writings of the acharyas of gaudiya vanishnavism?”)
Now don’t tell me there were no ISKCON Acharyas who did not sodomized children! In a number of websites some sensible Gaudiya Vaishnavas who are really worth of honour for protesting against wrong, bash them. BTW check this website: http://www.galva108.org/
(“Well don’t you know day the vedic dharma shastras prohibit flesh eating for a Ryan and condemn it’s use in worship but still shakta and said as proceed with this unvedic occult practices even in their temples.”)
I know that but perhaps you don’t know that eating meat is allowed for Kshatriyas once in a fort night and moreover, there is no general ban on meat eating for Kshatriyas. Also, I would like to tell you that your overconfidence fails you every time. You know nothing of Tantras, that is evident from your childish ba-ba, boo-boos. Tantras say that there are three modes of worshiping Kali Ma in Dakshinachar- Divya, Vira and Pashu, and at the same time Tantras say that a Sadhak must never worship in Pashu mode while Divya and Vira modes are preferred. Divya mode is for Brahmins and no animal sacrifices are involved while Kshatriyas are prescribed Vira mode in which meat is offered and consumed as Prasad.
(“Commenting on your parent marriages was to give u the taste of your own medicine.”)
How and why.
(“and yes incest is a taboo in santana dharma.but do u even know what’s a “gotra”? Half knowledge is very dangerous ma’am.even north Indian raj puts used to practice such marriages.arjuna married
Subhadra, the neice of his mother kunti. Does that make him incestuous? Marrying in separate gotra is not considered incest.”)
Sweety, Kurus and Yadus were Chandravanshis, and exogamy rules are not that strict in them. But Suryavanshis are rigid regarding incest, even if two cousins are of separate Gotras. Incest is prohibited in Sanatan Dharma to avoid in breeding depression. Now I don’t think that you’ll understand this term, so let me define it. It is a situation in which genetically related individuals mate for successive 4-6 generations, resulting into infertility and poor immunity. Moreover, Chandravanshis, who practiced birth-determined hierarchy, preferred to keep their bloodline “pure”. So occasional inbreeding was ok for them. But this inbreeding was reserved between cousins only, unlike South Indians who marry their own siblings, parents, uncles or aunts. That’s really gross.
(“Also ur comment day we oppose intercaste marriage is false.it is allowed , provided it’s not patio ma vara sank ara. Pls do some research b4 commenting”)
When did I say that you people oppose inter-caste?:) Beta, josh mein hosh nahi khote.
(“Regarding vaikuntha kamalaja, it was the answer to your statement dat vishnu and lakshmi cannot be worshipped in androgynous form and I have provided u the answer.the iconography came up from the various agamic and puranic statements where such a form is described.”)
Can you quote some?
(“You objected dat it only belongs to Nepal area. Mind u dat even goddesses like sash ti, vandevi, meen akshi or nataraja are localised in bengal and d south respectively. Does dat prohibit the people of these regions from worshipping them?”)
Vana Bibi (Vandevi) was a Muslim princess and is worshiped by people in Sunderbans. Minakshi Devi was a fiery princess and due to her status as a warrior, was often compared with Durga Ma, just like at present times we do with Jhansi ki Rani Lakshmibai. But mind that these two local goddesses are not worshiped anywhere beyond Sundarbans and Tamil Nadu, and I am a Kashmiri!:) Well as far as Shashti Devi is concerned, she is not confined to Bengal, but worshiped across the Indian subcontinent by the name of Chhathi. Sweetheart, Like Bengalis who arrange for Shashti Puja on birth of a child, likewise North Indians arrange for Chhathi Puja. Also, Chhath Puja in Bihar is held in the honour of Sun and Shashti. Also, Shashti finds mention in Skanda Purana as one of the names of Devasena, wife of Kartikeya. And Natraj is presiding deity of Chidambaram, one of the 64 Jyotirlingas. So other than Vana Bibi & Minakshi Devi, Shashti Devi & Natraj are not local deities. But since I myself am Kashmiri, I know that Vaikuntha Kamalaja is an iconography which evolved here in 11th century AD and later spread to Nepal via Himachal and Uttarakhand. Perhaps this was work of Kapalika Shaivites but being Shaivite doesn’t means that we will approve anything, because we are authentic Aryans who trace back their origin to the Great Indus Valley.
(“Reading science fiction is a good time pass but spirituality is not.it”)
Perhaps, but science fiction is based on scientifically proved principles and can become true in future, unlike the so-called spirituality of yours which is based on cock & bull fairy tales and sheer superstitions. BTW spirituality is one of the topics in psychology and quantum physics.
(“is said shiva lives in jail as ha but can u see him dre, why? Cos u r not qualified to see him.”)
Which jail? Tihar jail?:) And who says one cannot see Lord Shiva? I see him everywhere, after all he is the principle on which energy and matter form the universe. I am qualified as I know how science works and how science and spirituality (not to be confused with Vaishnava pseudo-spirituality) are linked with each other. But the harsh fact is that it is you who possesses no qualification as you neither know ‘s’ of science, nor do you know ‘s’ of spirituality. Maybe you suffer from hallucinations as well, confuse spirituality (part of psychology & quantum physics) with the cock & bull fairy tales, which are mocked by even knee-high kindergartens. 🙂
(“the vedas speak of the existence of such a chit jagat (spiritual world) beyond the influence of may a, prakriti, time, etc.but science has no proof of dat yet.”)
Dear, Quantum physics has proved that the so-called “chit-jagat” is multiverse and are part of nature as they are influenced by black-holes. So, if you are following Prabhupada’s writings, then know this that he lived decades ago and within these few decades, science has made significant discoveries that refute the old chap’s superstitions.
(“Vedas also say that plants have life but a few centuries ago the scientists retook it to be a big joke.”)
Vedas say so because Vedas deal with science. The scientists you are speaking of hailed from Abrahmic backgrounds and succeeded only when they surrendered to Mother of modern science, Vedas. Now Vedas also say that Daivi Astras like Pashupatastra, Rudrastra, Vaishnavastra, Narayanastra, Brahmastra, Brahmashira, Shaktiastra, Agneyastra etc were nuclear fission/ nuclear fusion weapons. Somras (Amrit) was a medicinal drink rather than some magical potion. But will you believe these? I don’t think so.
(“Science is prone to error but vedas are not. In the spiritual/vedic level, newtons laws and Shakespeare ‘ plays are material and hence won’t help u to progress spiritually.”)
Do you always talk stupid or are you acting stupid specially? Science and Vedas are like jal and pani. And I have compared myself as a believer of Newton’s laws and you as a believer of Romeo & Juliet. So take my advice, first consult a psychiatrist, and then join some English course, for you appear to be an illiterate as well.
(“According to the spotless vedantic philosophy of Achintya Bheda bheda and Shakti parinamavada prakriti, may a, kala, etc, everything is the bahiranga shakti of the supreme shaktiman the purusha, controller of all shaktis .who is the parambrahman of the vedas.”)
Spotless! I remember, once a Gaudiya Vaishnava made a stupid statement that SB is greater than Vedas and Vedas should be trashed. Now you are saying that this Achintya Bhed Abheda mumbo-jumbo is spotless! A sect that approves filthy acts such as homosexuality and gay marriage is spotless! You have cracked joke of the year. You’re a Bengali, right? But first things first, can you name those Shaktis?

(“All others are depended on him. That purusha is Narayana who is the controller of maya/prakriti. Being his shakti, prakriti in one sense is non different from him but yet it being material and controlled is different from purusha/brahman. That is the meaning of the shruti.”)
Okay, so only because Shakti is controlled by Purusha, she becomes inferior to him. And how will Purusha act if Shakti doesn’t cooperate with him? I don’t know what you people think but we believe that Purusha and Prakriti are like fire and its ability to burn. What is Purusha if he is devoid of Shakti? We see that Lord Shiva loses his mind when Lady Sati commits self-immolation. Also, Lord Ram, the pinnacle of Suryavanshi lifestyle, lost his composure when Ravan kidnapped Lady Sita. These are symbols that there cannot be creation without Shakti. It is impossible to separate principle, energy and matter.
(“Mathematics is not always suitable as I said b4 for the understanding of the vedas.mathematically,1-1=0.but if you consider brahma or the vedas, then the laws of mathematics are non applicable.
The vedas say: om purnam adhah purnam idam purnat purmam udacyate…
Which means if you take away the complete whole from the complete whole still the complete whole remains…
Thus it is 1-1=1 or 1-0.345=1, etc.
Here “1″ indicates the complete whole which is Brahman. So this is the limit of maths or science with regard to vedas.”)
That’s a sacrilege. 1 is a finite number you fool. The verse from Maha Upanishad says that Brahman is Shunyata (emptiness, 0). But being a dyslexic, you didn’t notice it. Poor kid! 0 is the only digit which symbolizes infinity, and Brahman is infinite. The invocation from Isa Upanishad that you quoted is correct, as Brahman is Shunyata (0). So no matter you take away the complete whole from the complete whole, or you add the complete whole to the complete whole, still the complete whole remains. How? 0+0=0, 0-0=0, 0x0=0 and 0/0=0. This is simple mathematics, but a dyslexic takes longer time to comprehend this simple thing. So, Science and maths being parts of Vedas has no limits, unlike your limited thinking.
(“Face the truth that u don’t know the abcd of Vedanta.”)
Why should I bother about ABCD when I know V of Vedanta? But you can concentrate on ABCD. Good for a dyslexic like you.
(“What to speak of you even believe in the area invasion theory that has been debunked by scientists half a century ago.such an oldie racist you are!”)
Because that is what biology reveals. A pedigree analysis programme that was organized by Nat Geo in the year of 2010 reveals that North Indians are descendents of Aryans while South Indians are descendents of Dravidians and/or mix of Aryan & Dravidians. So what scientists “debunked” half-century ago, has been proven true only four years ago. 🙂
(“So cover your face with rag otherwise piles of spit and pig shit will cover your face.”)
I don’t care about what happens to me. Concentrated Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) and acid burns couldn’t stop me, forget about filth. BTW I didn’t knew that I am so important to you that you’ll lick pig shit from street and then spit on me. But how will you? Do you think you’re James Bond and will hunt me down out of a population more than 10 billion? Be practical, this is not some Tamil film of Rajnikanth, but real life. I know that you live in fantasy world and it is natural for you to believe that your this fantasy will come true as well. But what you are fantasizing is far from reality. However, you can lick as much of pig shit you want. Good for you. Suits you so well.
(“And I don’t have to explain how much I respect mother Durga the supreme material power. Another name of hers is bhakti and yoga maya, who connects (yogam) us to Sri Hari.she has been glorified immensely by the go swam ins and other gaudiya acharyas. So do not use such names 4 her .You are insulting ur own Ishta devata.”)
Maybe you do, afterall Durga Puja is like Christmas to all Bengalis. But your Guru doesn’t have you read Prabhupada’s Bhagavad Gita as it is Ch.6? There, in one of his purports, he writes that “A person fully into Krishna consciousness becomes transcendental to temptations”. He gives the example of Lord Shiva and Lady Parvati for this, stating that Lady Parvati titillated Lord Shiva for sense pleasure, and Lord Shiva agreed, resulting into birth of Kartikeya. Then, Prabhupada gives example of some Haridas Thakur, who came across a call-girl once, but unlike Lord Shiva, he didn’t give in to the temptations. Now what would you say about this? Also, check the discourses of Tamal Krishna Gosvami, where he describes Kali Ma as “a ghastly deity who loves blood-sacrifice”. So sweetheart, I am not insulting Kali Ma, but pulling down the pants of Gaudiya Vaishnavas by exposing them and the bogus teachings of their “spotless” principles. We never degrade Lady Lakshmi like this. But you Vaishnavas do degrade Kali Ma in such a nasty way.
(“Pancharatra has been glorified by many ancient vedic authorities including shankaracharya”)
Only because the word Pancharatra has been used by Acharyaji in his commentary of Brahma Sutra, you hallucinated that Pancharatra implies to Vaishnava Tantras, and not the five-night long Yagna mentioned in Satpatha Brahmana, performed by Sage Narayana, after which he became enlightened.
(“tantric?? Pancharatra is also a tantric scripture dat is in accordance to the vedas and do not contradict it. You’ve got a wrong notion of tantra “)
I am talking about Shakta Tantras.
(“FYI the sakta and shiva tantra whenever they don’t contradict the vedas have been quoted by our goswamins and acharyas whenever required.”)
Yeah right. That’s why Vaishnava Acharyas call Shakta Tantras bogus.
(“So you can’t say that we disregard the other tantra completely.”)
You mock Tantric philosophy and then say that you don’t disregard of them! This is like an obsessed serial killer speaking of non-violence.
(“U being a person having 0 knowledge of Vedanta telling dat pancharatra is not in sync with the vedas is dumb hilarious.”)
Remember, I told you 0=Infinity? So thanks for the compliment, as you think that I posses infinite knowledge of Vedanta (though what I know is a drop of ocean), and also admitting that you are a psycho.
(“If u do want to defeat us, do that with vedic reasoning and quotes from scriptures not by rambling like psychopaths and speaking like a foul mouthed barbarian.”)
Tell me one thing, what’s wrong in calling Narayanastra authors by the names which rightfully belong to him? Also, as I told you yesterday, if you expect respect out of others, you must honour in return. A small transaction is compulsory, where you must do something to earn it. Had your boss been respectful from the beginning and not raised questions on my honour, pride, character, caste and parentage, I wouldn’t had been so cruel towards him. You think it yourself, if your boss dares to pull the whiskers of a tigress, will she let him go so easily? Answer is NO. Also I would had been that cruel to you as well if you would have dishonoured me. So kindly interrogate that psycho first about what conversation took place between us.
(“So show some same and act like an aryan(noble) if u claim to be one”)
Your opinion doesn’t matter. There are a lot of people who honour me because of what I am, and I don’t need any certificate from your incestuous boss for that.
(“And one more thing the narAyanastra blog authors are my seniors and since they belong to the sri vaishnava sampradaya I do respect them and they did not teach me.”)
Did he earn it?
(“I have quoted that blog only when it is okay to do so from the gaudiya point of view.”)
“Gopal Tapini & Ram Tapini Upanishads are bogus”, this is one of the statements made by Narayanastra authors. Why? Because these two Upanishads say Krishna and Ram are supreme instead of Vishnu or Narasimha. Don’t you think this is crazy? But well, your statement shows that you are not in complete agreement with him. So where’s the respect? Moreover, when you yourself are doubtful regarding all statements made by Narayanastra authors, do you have any right to dismiss my principles and force me to adopt yours and your friend’s belief? Think about it peacefully.
(“One more info : in some places instead of writing “dat”(that) I have by mistake typed “day”. So Pls excuse me.
Instead of aryan I wrote area. Sorry 4 d mistake
Furthermore excuse me for the wrong spellings in the comments I am replying from my cell phone and thus often type wrongly as I am not used to it.”)
It’s okay. It happens sometimes. Not a big deal at all.
(“At last I am nothing but a puppet at the hands of the purusha rays. May they help me to quickly reach my goal:the lotus feet of the Divya dampati.”)
May you achieve your goal. Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram.
P.S I don’t mean any dishonour to anyone. So don’t have any hard feelings. And remember, honour others if you expect honour out of others. So I hope that next time I won’t have to resort to become a harridan and lash you with bitter words.

Dear mahakali,
Lets come to the point:
The web address that you gave is of an institution that has no connection with mainstream ISKCON.Nowhere did Prabhupada order such kind of institutions to be made and he himself opposed such kind of unnatural marriages as I have heard in an audio recording. We are ourselves very much disgusted that such an institution is running under the name of ISKCON. The entire school of Gaudiya Vaishnavism does not come under the canopy of ISKCON. I myself am a follower of Sri Sri Gaudiya Math.Also there are some topics of Gaudiya Vedanta itself that are misinterpreted by some institutions that use the name of ISKCON. The Gaudiya Math is the only modern institution that incorporates the entire philosophy of Sriman Mahaprabhu in its actual form.
ISKCON was supposed to be like that but some individuals who not following the teachings of Prabhupada have given rise to these kinds of problems.
So don’t use the term Gaudiya vaishnavism in these kinds of cases.
It would be like calling all Muslims terrorists even if only a few really are!
The “childish ba-ba boo-boos” that you talk about have been declared unvedic by ancient authorities like Bhaskaracharya,Kumarila Bhatta, Shankaracharya,etc.”Divya,Vira,Pashu” can be modes of worshipping Durga but still that does not make them in accordance with the vedas.Yes it is true that Kshatriyas can eat meat but it is also a great virtue if Kshatriyas prohibit themselves from doing so. The Dharma shastras prohibit usage of meat in pujas even for Kshatriyas most of the time. But we see that animal sacrifices are performed daily in some temples with unvedic agama affiliation. Also the scriptures that you talk about contain these things such as Kali remains satisfied for 100 years if narabali is done or three ram sacrifice is equal to 1 buffalo sacrifice(Kalika Purana)

*****Even Vivekananda refuted such adharmic scriptures in his speeches*****
You may quote a text from some latter day text and say that these are only metaphors,etc.but let me ask u a question. If that was so,why were these things performed literally in the past and even now sometimes.
Regarding shakti parinamavada that Gaudiyas profess. Vishnu has three shaktis: Antaranga,Tatastha and Bahiranga. Antaranga consists of the Lord’s consorts, who are all manifestations of Lakshmi, yogamaya, etc. Tatastha is actually jiva who are also antaranga but because they can be covered by maya, they are tatastha (marginal). Bahiranga is the maya sakti, and its products like kala, karma, etc. Mahamaya is the personification of maya sakti.
Actually there is only one para shakti of Vishnu (antaranga) who manifests herself in he other 2 forms. Just because some random person makes some comment, it doesnt mean that u paint all of us in the same colour. The Shiva and Parvati thing is a lila to show that even the great god Shiva can fall under maya what to speak of us significant jivas.
Brahman is not sunya although he has the name sunya. If you take brahman to be sunya, then you become a sunyavadi (buddhists) philosophies of which have been refuted in Vedanta Sutra.
Sita is lakshmi.Even if not visible with Rama, it is understood that she is present unmanifest within him. Also the “Sita” that Ravana kidnapped was a false form, a illusion created by mahamaya Durga. It was this Durga that was carried by Ravana that destroyed him. The Lord employed his mahamaya to bring destruction to Ravana.This is stated in kurma puran.
Narayanastra authors didnt say that the Gopal and Ram Tapani upanisads are bogus. They only said that they are not considered to be completely authentic cos dre exist few old commentaries on them.But it is their opinion not ours. We belong to different schools remember?
I took 1 as an assumption for indicating brahman not in the literal sense.
Now we are really digressing from the main topic and hence wont talk more on this. As i said pls speak from vedic evidences. We do not want to spend time in a useless conversation, which is unvedic and non enlightening at all. This will be my last comment unless you want to discuss in more vedic way.
Thank you!Best of luck for ur future.

As a mathematician by profession, I would like to add a remark here.
Infinity is not a number i.e., it is not an element in the field of real numbers. Infinity is only a concept to describe sequences that are not bounded and to describe divergent series. And unlike zero, you can not subtract or divide two infinities.
Also, no number can be divided by zero. 1 divided by 0 is not “infinity”, but technically “not defined in the field”. This is different from saying “The division of 1 by a quantity that approaches 0 approaches infinity”.

HARE KRISHNA!
Dear Naravanastra Authors and Sarva nama sri hari nama…
That girl Nilalohita aka Mahakali… is a freak!… She is not arguing to put a point across but only to sling mud… I went through the entire Purport of 6 ch of Bhagvat Gita by Srila Prabhupada and there is no mention of Lord Shiva and goddess Parvati titillating him. This kind of misnomer is being injected by this insolent scoundrel because we continue to answer her in order to prove that we know more.
This is not and should never become our purpose… I am sorry. This fool has crossed all lines of decency and if yet we believe that entertaining her replies with ours is important then Krishna alone can save us. The lengths she has purposefully stooped down to in order cheaply prove herself right is well documented on this page and any self respecting person would have died in shame if he / she had conducted himself / herself in this manner.
The audacity and shamelessly with, which she affords herself a concocted family lineage ( for obvious reasons the real one doesn’t even get someone to p..s on it ) not to forget her eloquence though only in usage of gutter language on this page is a glaring poof of who and what kind of dirty stinking trash we all are dealing with here.
She calls mata Laxmi…. lady Laxmi abuses great Gurus… this filth should not be given anymore credence than what’s already been given top her. You can teach a dog or any animal but certainly a foolish person not ready to learn and she is the finest example.
Narayanastra Author… when I answered all her queries by coping and pasting beautiful excerpts from your blog with an earnest desire to answer her questions she simply wrote back not with befitting counter argument but by passing personal disparaging remarks and declared like an idiot on open forum that she had been given the same material by 75 people and that I was 76th. Yet I replied to her again but this with beautiful excerpts supporting my contention from Rig Veda, Yajur Veda… etc but she only got abusive.
Sarva nama sri hari nama,,, You need to know there is nothing you have said, which does not reply all her queries but she is not interested in it. All she is interested in is win as if she is practically begging for it.
If you guys feel that its ok to invite unnecessary abuses on your respective Guru Maharaj and The all Mighty Lord Krishna then go ahead argue with her. If you feel that this girl should be avoided at all cost the go ahead and avoid her like you would avoid keeping trash in your house.
Kind and warm regards

They are same but yet there is a difference. knowledge will let you know about both the aspects and wisdom gained from Hari bhakti will make you understand, experience, appreciate and blissfully enjoy the esoteric meaning of these aspects, which exists simultaneously not in contradiction or coercion but as pure truth, which lies untouched far above and beyond the reach of limitations such as contradiction or coercion.

Thank you for your post sir!
The truth about the relationship of Sri Vishnu and Shiva or Brahma etc. is that Shiva, Brahma, Indra, Agni, etc. are posts that are occupied by different personalities at different times. The high posts like Indra, Brahma and Shiva are occupied mainly by jivas (indiviual living entities). When a qualified jiva in some kalpas to play these roles are sometimes unavailable, Lord Vishnu himself performs the role of Indra, Brahma or Shiva.
Regarding Lord Shiva, as per Gaudiya theology, there exists a svamsha incarnation of Lord Vishnu, called SADASHIVA established in his own abode at Vaikuntha. This abode is called Shivaloka which is different from Kailasha. Sri Sanatana Goswamipada has described Him and His abode in Brihad Bhagavatamrita by quoting a verse from Sri Vayu purana. Sri Rupa Goswamipada has described Him in Laghu Bhagavatamrita by giving reference to the same Vayu purana verse and also by quoting Sri Brahma samhita as well and Sri Vishwanatha Chakravarti Thakura has described this form briefly in his Sri Bhagavatamrita kanika.
Lord Sadashiva is Lord Vishnu /Sri Krishna himself appearing as his plenary portion(swamsha avatara). He resides with his consort Goddess Uma, the incarnation of Srimati Lakshmi. But the Shiva of the material world is sometimes a jiva, empowered by lord Sadashiva who is a form of Vishnu like Matsya,Kurma, etc. and sometimes when such pious jivas are not available, Lord Sadashiva’s direct incarnation takes the material world’s shiva’s role. Lord Sadashiva’s activities are wonderful. Though he himself is Lord Vishnu, he still worships lord Shankarshana with utmost devotion along with his consort and associates. when in Brahma samhita it is said that Shiva and Vishnu’s relationship is like milk transformed into yogurt, it is to be understood with the example of a cintamani jewel which itself gives rise to several valuable items but itself doesnot undergo any transformation. Te milk-yogurt analgy is t be understood in this manner:
1. When Vishnu himself takes up the role of Shiva, it apparently “seems” that material nature covers him, but it is actually not so because Brahman cannot be covered by maya. Thus the statement of the brahma samhita would mean that by playing the role of shiva, Lord Vishnu becomes the master of maya directly, without geting affected by it.
2. When a pious jiva is appointed to be Shiva,he is sometimes under the influence of maya and being a jiva he sometimes does offences due to getting bewildered. Thus in that way being an avesha avatara of the Lord that particular jiva is said to be a “tansformation” of vishnu.
The same 2 above conditions apply to the posts of Brahma and Indra as well. The highest post of these is that of Shiva. Usually a jiva who has played the role of Brahma continuously for hundred lifetimes becomes eligible to play the role of Shiva. It is spoken by Shiva himself in Srimad Bhagavatam. Thus a jiva becoming Shiva is extremely rare and so in most cases Lord Sadashiva himself comes to the earth to play Siva’s role.The jiva playing the role of shiva has has Lord Shankarshana as his indweller. the jiva who is a brahma has Lord Pradyumna has hi indweller,etc.
Hope tis is enough to clarify Shivaji’s relationship to lord vishnu.
Haribol!

ALL of these people are just foolish. they have proud and they can be considered as Modern DAKSHA PRAJAPATI. Shiva is beyond your reach. He can be pleased soon but it is difficult to be a friend of shiva. HE is Maheshwar, Mahadev, Devon ke dev, Adipurusha ,Shambhu, Avinashi and what not. He is formless but at the same time he has form .He is Trikaldarshi, trilokswami, lord of all arts. You people just boast, spreads rumours, speaks about krishna who himself followed lord shiva’s teachings. Lord krishna virat roop which you boasts , is nothing but shiva himself. We all have mini god in us that is called soul. Every soul is a part of supreme soul (lord shiva), krishna with the help of yoga had attained power. And don’t forget Lord shiva is Adiyogi. when we say lord mahadev is immortal that means he is present in the body in the form of soul. Krishna himself died but his soul which is a part of supreme soul merged with lord Mahadev at the end. Every avatar of lord shiva is immortal e.g.. hanuman ji. Krishna was like prophet( in west he Was Christ). But he is god coz of his deeds. A human can become a god but nobody can be ishwar. Lord shiva is Maheshwar. They say Shiva smokes. Have you seen shiva smoking? My interpretation says Yes he Smokes, But if you see ayurved medicinal smoking was a part of dinchrya. Hate him , curse him, insult him but one thing you can’t do is that avoiding him. he can’t be avoided as he is present in our body in the form of soul. So , wake up Dakshas, adishakti cannot take insult of his Adipurusha. Shiva is shiva he don’t care what You are saying about him But any insult of Adishakti is something he can’t take. Insulting Adishakti or prakriti can create irreversible harms. Rest is upto you. Har had Mahadev. Shivoham shivoham shivoham.

People argue with others when instead they should ague with themselves. Its as if they’re trying to convince themselves that they are right .
everyone is cursing one another beliving he himself is right. No one thinks I can be wong. One blind man followed by another. Truth be true , nothing can change the truth neither time nor gods themselves , such is the law of universe .
A name does not define God. However gods are given names according to the functions they perform.
Most people put their faith in gods based on their names.
It is said that the supreme soul (sadashiva we call him) divided himself from nirguna (without attributes)
to sauguna brahman (with the three gunas). thus forming 2 things 1- prakriti and 2- Conciousness
Pratkriti is the mother of Brahma , Vishnu and Mhesha(Shiva /Rudra we call him ).
>Brahma-created the world and still creates.
>Vishnu- Entered the world himself.
The traditional Sanskrit explanation of the name Vishu involves the root viś, meaning “to settle, to enter”, or also (in the Rigveda) “to pervade”, and a suffix nu, translating to approximately “the All-Pervading One”
>Shiva- destroys it at the end of kalpa doing his chaotic cosmic dance (tandav).
bahma(creation), vishnu(foreseer, preserver of life) ,as there is no need for them now because the world has to be destroyed, enters into shiva as the world is being destroyed
Shiva being the destroyer aspect (destroys everything, even death) remains and takes the form of Sadashiva.
So, only sadashiva(sada- eternal , shiva- bliss) remains.
Sat-chit- ananda = truth-conciousness-eternal bliss = sada shiva.
In truth it does not come to strenght but to the functions they perform in this world of ours.
One does not need to be their devotee to attain moksha or gain powers ,for one oneself is in truth not different from brahman, by destroying ignorance.
But it is beneficial to pray to them for their mercy is very auspicious and as ignorant as we are , they can show guidance in the darkness of ignorance.

Everything in existence thoughts,likings, objects, poops, swamps, gods demons us… are all prevaded by brahman (parabrahma) . we call him atman, supreme soul, bliss (shiva).
Nothing in existence is devoid of him. He is ever present. He is the gos and demons . he is the law of Karma that does not distinguish between anyone. He gives boons even to the demons if they show appropriate efforts to achieve something.
He has divided himself in conciousness, matter, created bodies, ignorance, and entered himself in them to enjoy the fruits of desire and experience yet he is ever present in universe in form of conciousness.
Even on a spaceship if a child is born he is not devoid of intellegence, ignorance, mind and conciousness.

Dear Hare Krishna Revolution,
Hare Krishna! firstly I am a devotee of Shiva but I love Krishna in my heart and I do attend Bhagavad Gita discourses on a timely basis. I chant the Panshakshara and the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra without fail. I read various Vaishnava & Shaiva texts.
I would like to re-quote from the phrase by Krishna himself “says in the Bhagavad Gita (10.2), aham adir hi devanam: I am the source of all the devas (demigods).” and also another phrase from chapter 10, Text 24 senaninam aham skandah
sarasam asmi sagarah; of all commanders I am; skandaḥ, Kārtikeya.
The Lord Himself have showed his Viswaroopa, the universal form to Arjuna where to indicate and enlighten him that he is source of everything, includes various deities,Devas, Bhotas, Saints, animals, other beings and planets (cosmos).
Lord Krishna continue to state that He accepts any kind of devotion towards him in any kind of form and worship as long with pure devotion. Hence I don’t see anything to argue and indicate which deity/religious group is superior then the other?
However, I should agree that some of these temples and priests are just taking advantage of this and installing various deities as source of incomes or business, but they are using this truth as an opportunity and confusing the devotees.
“Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu”
May peace and truth prevail throughout the universe!

MAHAPRABHU AT BHUBANESWAR
This is also Siva’s dham. Here this Bhubaneswar ksetra is also Siva’s dham. It is said there, in Caitanya Bhagabat, Sri Vrndaban das Thakur has mentioned Bhubaneswar. When Sriman Mahaprabhu came here, while he was going to th Puri Dham He passed through this Bhubaneswar. So Sriman Mahaprabhu visited that Temple, and that Bhubaneswar Lingaraja is a very dear serviant of Anantadeva, therefore Mahaprabhu came here.
In Caitanya Bhagabat, it is mentioned, ‘Sriman Mahaprabhu with his devotees, chanted and danced before Lord Siva here in Bhubaneswar Temple.’ So following in the footsteps of Sriman Mahaprabhu all Vaisnavas came here and visited Iswara Siva, and chanted and danced there.
In Skanda Purana, there it is mentioned about this ksetra, Bhubaneswar ksetra. “Once in Kasi, there was a king who was a great devotee of Lord Siva. But his desires were not fulfilled. That king underwent very severe penances to conquer Krishna.He was in tapasya trying to satisfy Lord Siva, and he had that desire he would conquer Krishna. But one cannot understand the behaviour of a Vaisnava. Even the demi-gods can’t understand, what to speak of the human beings. So Sivaji became satisfied, pleased with his tapasya. At that time Sivaji told him, “alright, you go and fight against krishna, I’m following you, I’ll support you, I’ll help you.”
So that king then started for battle and Lord Siva with all his followers followed him, that raja, king. Then Krishna – Vasudeva, Devaki-nandana the Son of Devaki – could understand all these things, so He released His Sudarsana cakra. That Sudarsana cut off the head of the king, first. After that, also that Sudarsana cakra cut off the heads of all the Siva bhaktas in Kasi. This Varanasi became a crematorium ground, all dead. So Lord Siva became very angry and released his pasupatastra. But what he’ll do, pasupatastra in front of Sudarsana? Couldn’t do anything. So at last Siva also became very much terrified, frightened, and tried to run away, but where will he go?
Then Siva could understand except for Krishna nobody can save me now. So he surrendered unto the lotus feet of Krishna, Govinda. He offered many prayers. Lord Siva offered prayers to Krishna, Govinda. Siva says, “O Lord of my heart, I have one prayer. I am always very puffed up. I have great false ego, but now I understand I can not leave you, I can not stay anywhere else, please tell me where I shall stay.” According to Skanda Purana (Sri Vrndabandas Thakur has written that thing in Sri Caitanya Bhagabat.)
EKAMRA KANAN
So Lord Vasudeva says, “My ksetra is there, Purosottama Ksetra, so in the north of that ksetra there is Ekamra Kanana. That place, Ekamra Kanana is a very very auspicious place, which can give bhukti and mukti, a very nice beautiful place. So you’ll stay there and you’ll be noted as “Bhubaneswar.” “So I give you that Ekamra Kanana, you go and stay there and you become guard of that ksetra, ‘Ksetra Pala’.”
So this is Bhubaneswar. It is known as ‘Hemacala’ and ‘Svarnadi Ksetra’ also. In this ksetra crores, crores, koti lingum, crores.of Sivajis are here. Asta Tirtha, the famous eight tirthas are also here. It is superior to Varanasi, this Bhubaneswar, and this is more dear to Lord Siva than Varanasi, this Bhubaneswar.
In Svarnadi Mahadev Grantha, we’ll find once Vyasadev came here. This is Vaisnava ksetra, Ekamraka Kanana, and Vyasadev has described its glories, it is mentioned in Svarnadi Mahadeva Grantha.
PARVATI AT BHUBANESWAR
There it is mentioned once Devi Bhagabati, this means Goddess Parvati, was hearing the glories of this Ekamraka Kanana from the lips of Lord Siva, Sambhu. So Bhagabati devi came here to see this ksetra. She saw Maha-linga, do you understand “linga?” Siva is worshipped in Linga form. And that Linga has the complexion of half white, half black, sitasita varna, Maha-Linga,and Devi also offered puja to that Linga. Once Devi saw that from a lake hundreds of cows were coming out, and they were pouring milk from their udders onto that Maha-Linga, circumambulating that Maha-Linga and then going away. Devi saw this thing.
Another day also she saw the same thing. Then Devi assumed the form of a gopali-ni, a cowherd girl, and followed those cows. At that time there were two demon brothers named Kriti and Vasa. They were very much enchanted by the beauty of Parvati devi, so they approached her and expressed their desire that they wanted to have her as their wife. So Bhagabati devi disappeared from that place and went to Lord Siva and narrated everything before her Lord. Lord Siva then assumed the form of a gopa, a cowherd boy, and went there. Then Lord Siva could understand the history of those two demons.
Lord Siva revealed that those two demons Kriti and Vasa were the sons of Drumilla Raksasa. So that Drumilla worshipped many demi-gods, they were very much pleased and gave him one boon that his two sons couldn’t be killed by any weapon. Then Sivaji said, “Now they will be killed by you, O Devi. You kill them. They won’t be killed by any weapons, so I can’t kill them.”
So getting the instruction from Sivaji, Devi, who was in the form of a cowherd girl, gopalini, came in front of those two demons and said, “Alright, I’ll fulfill your desires, but I have one condition, if one of you carry me on your shoulder or head I’ll be his wife.”
Bhagabati Devi manifested her potency and placed one of her feet on the shoulder of one demon, and the other on the shoulder of the other demon, and crushed them, they were killed. At that time Bhagabati assumed the form of Visvambari, Visvambari rupa. Visva means universe, she expanded as Visvambari and crushed them. So from this day, this Sambhu, “vaisnava pravara sambhu,” and Devi Bhagabati stayed here in this ksetra of Ekamraka Kanana.
BINDU SAROVARA
After killing these two demons Krit and Vasa, Bhagabati devi became very tired and was also very thirsty. She wanted water, so Siva with his trident, trishula pierced a hill top and a great well was created that’s known as “Sankar Vampi”(?)
But Devi said, “I want water from a great tank, sarovara, pond, which will be eternally there.”
So Sivaji ordered his bull carrier, Nandi, to install that sarovara. All tirthas came there, and all the holy rivers, like Kaveri, Gomati, Krishna, Yamuna, Sarasvati, Gandaki, Rishikulya, Mahanadi, all holy rivers came here. Again from the heavenly planets and from Patala came the Mandakini and Ksirodaka, all came here. When Lord Siva saw all those holy rivers had come, with his trident he pierced that hill top and asked all those holy rivers and all the tirthas to please pour water drop by drop here. (Drop means ‘bindu’.) So they did it and Lord Brahma installed that sarovara. And that sarovara is known as ‘Bindu sarovara.’ Mahaprabhu took bath in that Bindu sarovara.
Bhagavan Janardan and all demigods headed by Brahma all took bath there in that sarovara. So in this way Bindu sarovara was installed.
Then Sambhu paid obeisances to Lord Janardana and The Lord placed Anantadeva on the eastern side of Bindu sarovara. You’ll find on the eastern side Ananta Vasudeva is there. Siva became Ksetrapala, and Anantadeva became the controller of the Ksetra. Here Anantadeva stays with His sister, Subhadradevi. He is known as Lord Vasudeva, who has been fulfilling Lord Siva’s desires. To fulfill Lord Siva’s desires Ananta Vasudeva stayed on the eastern side of Bindu sarovara and has been staying there till now. Have you gone to that temple? So in the front wall of that temple you’ll find there is Laxmidevi, and Sudarsana Cakra is also there.
Ananta Vasudeva and Madana Mohana, They are the Lords of Lingaraja Siva. So at the time of Candrana Yatra, Sivaji along with Ananta Vasudeva and Madana Mohana ride a swing, dola, and go to Candana Yatra. They make Candana Yatra in Bindu sarovara. At that time also Candana Yatra will begin from Puri Temple. In Puri there are three famous Sivas, they also come with Madan Mohan to do Candana Yatra. The Madana Mohana here in Bhubaneswar is a four handed form.
In Ananta Vasudeva Mandir Vaisnavi Bhagavati herself cooks bhoga to serve for Ananta Vasudeva. First Ananta Vasudeva will be worshipped, bhoga arati will be there, then that bhoga will go to the Siva Temple and Siva always is in need of that prasad of Ananta Vasudeva, he becomes very pleased. This is the vaisnava process. The vaisnava will first worship Lord Visnu, then he’ll offer that prasad to Siva. In this way a vaisnava worships Siva, but if one is not a vaisnava then he’ll directly worship Siva. Therefore a vaisnava never accepts such prasad.
The vaisnava will worship first Lord Vasudeva, Visnu, and offer bhoga, then that prasad will be offered to Lord Siva. This system is going on in Jagannath Temple. In Jagannath Temple in the campus you’ll find Goddess Durga is there, Siva is there, all are there so Laxmiji is there. So Jagannath prasad goes there, no Siva prasad. That’s the vaisnava process, so we accept it.
If someone takes bath in Bindu sarovara then he’ll get the result of taking bath in all tirthas, because all tirthas are there. If someone goes to Ananta Vasudeva Temple, and gets darshan of Ananta Vasudeva, then he gets result of darshan of the Supreme Lord.
So Lord Siva by the order of Janardana, by the mercy of Janardana has become ksetrapala. Siva simultaneously is ‘Bhakti pradatah,’ he is a great vaisnava so he can give you bhakti if he is pleased and also give you the adhikar to serve the dhama of The Lord. Dhama seva adhikar and bhakti pradatah. Lord Siva can give you. Therefore
the vaisnavas go to the temple of Sivaji, because Sriman Mahaprabhu has also gone there, and we follow in the footsteps of Mahaprabhu. The vaisnavas, gaura priya, dear devotees of Gauranga also visit the Siva temples and pay respects to Siva, and pray for the mercy of Lord Siva that let us get Krishna bhakti. Therefore Mahaprabhu visited. “Lord Siva is a vaisnava, ‘vaisnava sevana, Krishna pujana,’ if a vaisnava is served, then Krishna is worshipped. That is Mahaprabhu’s instruction. So Mahaprabhu did that in order to teach us.
devotee – I also heard that the Srimad Bhagavatam was first spoken at Bhubaneswar
Srila Gour Govinda Swami – Yes, in that Ekamra Kanana. Sivaji was speaking to Parvati devi. That we have mentioned in the booklet, brochure that was published at the time of the Temple inaugaration, glorifying this ksetra, Ekamra Kanana, this Bhubaneswar.
Sivaji savs:-
” aham vedmi suko vetti, vyaso vetti na vetti va,
bhaktya bhagavatam grahyam, na buddhya na ca tikaya.”
” I know Bhagavata, Sukadeva knows , I don’t know if Vyasadeva knows or not. Bhagavata can only be understood by bhakti.”
Lord Siva was speaking Bhagavata before his wife, the Goddess Parvati, here in this Ekamraka Kanana. At that time, a parrot was listening, ‘suka’ means parrot. So at first Parvati devi was listening and was saying, “Hmm, hmm, hmm,(means yes, yes). Then Parvati fell asleep. That suka, parrot, was listening, and the parrot was saying Hmm, hmm, hmm. So Sivaji couldn’t understand at first, then at last Sivaji noticed that Parvati had fallen asleep. So he thought who was saying, ‘Hmm, hmm, hmm.’ He saw a parrot is there, and Sivaji ran and the parrot flew away. That suka then entered into the womb of Vyasadev’s wife. That became Sukadeva Goswami. Therefore Sukadeva knows the Bhagavatam.
This is such a famous place, this Bhubaneswar dham, ksetra. This is Vaisnava ksetra.

HariHara or ShankarNarayana are prabrahm. the combination form of shiva and vishnu. The supreme is ShankarNarayana. or HariHara. Om prabrahm Prameshwara Shivaya Namah, Om prabrahm Paramatma Narayana Namah, om prabrahm Parampeeta Brahma Namah. Om Prabrahm maa adishakti namah.
Lord Krishna

All r His manifestation.. take Him as Shiva or Krishna or Bishnu, the ultimate goal is to teach u morales… which is totally absent in u. so plz learn positive frm religion.. not the discrimination n superiority it teaches

HAHAHA……”We should not disrespect the demi-gods. Though the demi-gods are not the Supreme Lord, they are the servants of Krishna. So Mahaprabhu has taught this thing. And especially Lord Siva, “Vaisnavanam yatha sambhu,” Siva is a bhakta. Therefore, Sriman Mahaprabhu visited, paid respect. And Sivaji is “ksetra-pala,” he who guards the ksetra.
In Vraja Mandala you’ll find nine Ksetrapala Mahadeva murtis are there. In Vrndaban there is Gopesvara Mahadev, in Kamyavan you’ll find Kamesvara Mahadeva, in .. you’ll find Chakresvara Mahadeva, in Nandagram you’ll find Nandisvara, and in Mathura you’ll find Bhutesvara , Gokarnesvara, Chaklesvara and Rangesvara. Besides that, in Mathura there are many, many other Siva Temples.
In the Varaha Purana it is mentioned that Lord Visnu said to Sivaji, in Mathura you’ll become Ksetrapala, who guards ksetra, My ksetra. If someone will pay you respect, have your darshan, he’ll get the result of visiting My home. Those who do circumambulation, parikrama, Vrndaban parikrama at the end they visit Bhutesvara Siva in Mathura. Because ‘vaisnavanam yatha sambhu,’ Siva is a great Vaisnava, do you understand?

Can you answer a few questions please
1) Why do you worship krishna when he is actually an incarnation of vishnu.
2) Ram is also considered and avatar of vishnu but he used to worship shiva, why so.
3) Curd is actually way better at curing stomach problems than milk. So if i go according to your logical thinking curd is better than milk.
4) Bhagwata Gita talk about purification of the mind right. Now by your thoughts that is trying to prove others beliefs inferior and yours superior does it not increase EGO. Something i think gita does not subscribe to. Whenever indra had a superiority feeling you know what happened right. Same with duryodhana. Arent you going in similar direction 🙂
5) Why vishnu is small god in vedas while gods like indra,vayu etc get more importance. Shiva is not mentioned but he has more mention than vishnu in the form of rudra.
6) Shiva is the god who symbolizes meditation & Yoga if you compare all the Gods. Isnt it the same what bhagwata gita trying to tell you to do.
You forget Lord Krishna greatest teaching in doing all this, that is love.
Vishnu & Shiva are forms just for your understanding of the divine who is formless.

Dear All,
After watching long discussion I am writing my view
God is One(source of energy who is running whole universe) but his forms are different.When he creats that form called brahma and when he care and nourish called Vishnu and when he destroy that form is called Sankar/Rudra and we all are the minute particles of same energy(aatma) we have that energy in our body called aatma. and flow of our energy(aatma) is always towards the source (god/Paramatma) speed of flow depends upon the karm and devotion towards source(god) That’s end all the doubts.

I thought to research on that matter. so I found Shiv Purana Shiva Gita and Bhagvad Gita and Bhagvad puran. I got confused Who is superior.
But I found very interesting thing that whenever Lord Shiva speaks anything it is written ” sri shiv uvach or sri rudra uvach or sri mahadeva uvach” but whenever Krishna speaks in bhagvad gita or bhagvat puran written ” sri bhagvan uvach”. Now one thing I got cleared that Krishna is addressed as “Sri bhagvan” Where as Shiva as “Mahadeva or Maheswar”. After searching more I got Krishna is called “Parameswar or Param deva”. So I got a conclusion that perhaps Krishna is superior, though both are same but different.

These hare krishna people are just trying to attract people by discriminating amongs gods, whereas the truth is all is one and unity! Thry think themselves of some higher beings among society, ask the yogis who do penance in the himalayas and are never to be seen, they are the true worshippers of the oneness!
(And by the way if you go by the manmade scripture that people believe to be holy books then you would know that krishna asked 8 boons from shiva), worship yourself and believe the unity, if you keep on discriminating and telling people who is supreme and who defeated who, then are you already misleaded and will not be awakened!

Dear Vashisht,
Those who talk about unity are fools because they believe that they themselves are God. If everyone is God, then why go to the Himalayas for doing penance? In fact these yogis are on a very low level of spiritual realization. Therefore they undergo so much of austerities. After undergoing austerities for thousands of birth, if some yogi is lucky to find out a realized saint, then such a fortunate yogi can understand that Krishna is God. Otherwise, for ordinary yogis, it is very difficult tho understand Krishna.
Krishna says in the Bhagavad-gita that only a fortunate soul among millions of realized souls can understand Him (Krishna) as He is.
We don’t rely on man-made books. We rely on the Bhagavad-gita, which is accepted as the most authoritative scripture. It states that Krishna is the Supreme. It never states that everyone is equal.
We are not such fallen fools that we will follow your advice of worshiping ourselves. Only fools worship themselves.
Thanks.
Hare Krishna.
Yours in the service of Srila Prabhupada,
Niraj Bidawatka

My understanding is that, there is a concept of Swaaamshh and Vibhinnaamshh. Swaamsh are – Brahmha, Vishnu and Shankar. Vibhinnaamshh are – Remaining all other char and achar jeevs.
The swaamsha are maayatheeth and vibhinnamsh are maayabadha jeevs. Thats all.
