QUESTION: WHY DO SOME PEOPLE CALL SRI KRISHNA "SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD" WHILE NO VEDIC SCRIPTURE DESCRIBES HIM SO?


Sometimes I feel, as Dwapar Yuga i.e. period in which Krishna stayed at earth, was only 5000 years old, we have found many things which proves the existence of him like submerged Dwarka Nagari (in Gujurat), Mathura & Vrindawan (in Uttar Pradesh) etc.


However, we are unable to found much more evidence of other Gods which are millions years old. So it might be a reason, people trust the existence of Krishna is more than other deities, so they used to call that "Krishna is the supreme personality of godhead".

BUT, LORD SHIVA IS THE SUPREME DEITY OF ALL THE GOD HEADS AND THE SAME HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN LING PURAN.








QUESTION: WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF WORSHIPING GOD KRISHNA?


Worshiping any God will benefit us, but why Lord Krishna in this KALYUGA.

Actually, our holy books said that, when you worship some god, you will enlightened by that god's characteristics, like you will think like the way that god thinks, in short you are following him and you try to think same ways.

Just for an example, Lord Rama, was a very noble & decent god, he was full with mercy, he was very eager to forgive.

But as we know, Krishna Ji, was in DWAPAR YUG, after it, KALYUG was going to start. He was not like Lord Rama, He was on to the path and strict with the laws, whatever u do, u have to suffer, either good or bad. He shows mercy but with a certain low level. 

"HE WAS VERY FOND OF KARMA & THE SAME HE TOLD IN GITA"

Benefits are like, In this Kalyuga period, we have to tackle all types or person, we have to be good with the good, but have to beware from the bad. I personally feel that, Krishna's message was very much applicable in modern time (Kalyuga). If we worship Krishna Ji regularly with devotion, we will think and behave like him only which will help us.

ROLE OF LORD SHIVA IN CREATION OF UNIVERSE


As already stated in earlier posts, the whole universe is shaped by the Lord Brahma and he is honored by the name as “The Creator”. Yet Lord Shiva is considered to be the topmost of all the three gods (Brahma, Vishnu & Mahesh) as he acts as a SEED for creating the Universe with the help of Lord Brahma.

However, “Birth of Lord Brahma as well as Universe is solely done by the wish of Lord Shiva”

LING PURAN states also that:-

“The plan / view by means of which Shiva looks towards Nature (birth of universe) is known as Shaivism”


Lord Brahma constructs the Universe by considering Shiva as the Seeds as well as the Soul (Aatma or Spirits). In short, Shiva is the main constituent of all the things present in the Universe, whether it is Living or Non Living.

THE THREE GUNAS - RAJO, SATVA & TAMO


Gunas are attributes, qualities which define the character of the individual.

Tamo Gunas are the lowest form of Gunas that arise from the desires and greed of the mind. It showers inertia, selfishness, shrewdness troubling others and keeping everything without progress.

Rajo Gunas involve intellect and need a conscious mind to perform them. It signifies ego, bravery, jealousy, wars, struggles and helping with a motive.

Satva Gunas are entirely spiritual and are based on wisdom, consciousness and awareness of the being. It is the light, the purity, the kindness charity and compassion.

Briefly, Gunas have the following characteristics:-

1.) Satva Guna - Illuminating.
2.) Rajo Guna - Activating.
3.) Tamo Guna - Restraining

When there is Disbalance of these Gunas, the Universe comes into existence. Each and every individual has to control / balance their level of Gunas.

1.     First, control the lowest one i.e. Rajo Guna, as it reduces the speed of progress of an individual’s growth. This Guna can be control only by the proper use of other 2 Gunas viz. Rajo Gunas & Satva Gunas.

2.   Secondly, after eliminating the Tamo Guna, hit on the Rajo Gun, as it also decelerates the person’s spiritual growth and sometimes helps Rajo Guna to exaggerate.  Only Satva Guna has the power to eradicate this Gunas.

3.    Finally, try to leave the Satva Gunas also, as it take the person soul near to the God, but does not permits to dissolve in it. So, leaving Satva Guna is also very important in everyone’s life.

The one who exterminate these 3 types of Gunas, gets enlightened and reaches the final destination (God’s Feet) and attains Salvation (Moksha)
