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: AS WE KNOW, EVERYTHING HAPPENS BECAUSE OF KARMA (DEEDS), IT IS THE RESULT OF OUR PAST DEEDS, BUT WHICH IS OUR 1ST BIRTH AND ON WHAT TYPE OF DEEDS, GOD SENT US ON THIS EARTH? (I AM TALKING ABOUT THE 1ST BIRTH)


The Question "WHICH WAS OUR FIRST BIRTH & ON WHAT BASIS GOD SENT US IN THIS WORLD", keeps me busy from inside by thinking again & again. Yet I was unable to get the answer.

But, few days back, I went to ISKCON Temple at Nehru Place, New Delhi. I asked the above mentioned question to a fellow disciple, who was available there. 

She replied:-
Actually, we were born with Lord Krishna in our 1st birth, and there was no such specific reason, why we born with him. She said, Lord wants us in that Yoni or Birth, so he born us and kept us nearby.
But, in that birth, we were jealous of our God, or we carried a bad thinking, so we generated negative deeds, on to which we are here and trying to burn our sins.

I asked what Jealousy, she gave an example like, apart from Radha Rani, there were too many Gopis (female followers of Krishna) present out there, who were not close to Lord as Radha Rani, so they feel jealous of her.

I again asked her, is this logic is written somewhere in any scriptures, she said no, our guru replied at many occasion for the same question.

I don’t know this is correct or not but still there is some logic behind.

Please provide your views.

QUESTION: DOES KARMA EXIST? IS IT TRUE THAT WE NEED TO BEAR OUR KARMA IN THIS VERY LIFE? OR IS THERE THE SYSTEM OF VARIOUS BIRTHS IN WHICH WE LIVE LIFE, TO FULFILL OUR DEEDS?


QUESTIONS ACROSS MANY PEOPLE MINDS:-

Does karma exist? - Yes, Karma do exist.

Why? - We have seen a lot of people, different people of different religion, different caste, but all of them are not equal in aspects  like education, health, money, occupation etc. We also saw that some are poor, some are rich, even some were rich but now they are poor and vice versa.
By looking such a huge difference, I or anybody thinks why they are like that, why there are above us or below, what they have done so they are here? This question takes us to the process of KARMA.


Is it true that we need to bear our karma in this very life- Actually, this is not true, Karma’s result can be carry forwarded even in our next lives also, because even at the end of our life (at old stage) we are bound to perform karma. And output of that we be faced at our next birth either in form of human or animals, birds, organism etc.


Or is there the system of various births in which we live life to fulfill our deeds?- Yes, there are system of births, if the results of our accumulated deeds are not possible to suffer in current birth, we have to take birth again & again, until it becomes to zero.
And when it comes to zero, we will attain Salvation.


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.

QUESTION: DOES GOD DECIDE WHETHER WE WILL END UP IN HEAVEN OR HELL, OR THE CHOICE IS OURS?


HELL OR HEAVEN is based on the very common principle, which is:-

"WHAT YOU SOW SO YOU REAP"

So, we are the one, who can guide our self for the path, which takes us to Hell or Heaven. It all depends on the what type of deeds we do throughout our life.

Heaven- described as the holiest place where Souls of good people resides. Good people here referred to the persons, who added a lot of positive deeds (Karma) in their account during their stay at earth.

Hell- Just opposite to Heaven is a place, which also comes after the life ends. This place is full of pain, misery, sufferings and in fact it is a home full of negativity inside.

Those, who accumulated more of Positive deeds will headed to Heaven. And those, who accumulated more of Negative, will lead to Hell.

But if a person, by chanting the name of God, burns both of the deeds, will achieve the Salvation (Moksha), and will be away from both Hell & Heaven.
