Come Delusion,Come Confusion!
I have often wondered if we could disconnect the man that was Krishna to the God that He represented.
No one would have had the capacity to handle 16108 wives if He would be a man but then why would a God want to handle 16108 female ego's?
One one side religion teaches us to be pure and non promiscuous and here we have a God who breaks the first rule of the game. He has numerous affairs with married women-The Gopi's!
We should not be deceitful in nature and here we have a God full of deceit and treachery.He told Arjuna to shoot at his Guru(Bhishma) behind his back and tell lies to the other Guru(Dronacharya) and kill him also.
He lifts mountains(Govardhan) and shields the people from the deluge, but allows the deluge to gulp his kingdom down in Dwarka!
He brings his Guru's(Sandipani's) son back from the dead but cannot do anything for his own race, when they all die fighting each other.
He can change anything and everything for all his devotees, but he cannot convince one woman(Radha) to come with Him!
He teaches Self Realization to one and all but cannot teach any of His dearest devotees(Gopi's)!
He eats the earth and shows it to his foster mother but mother earth cannot be saved from the upheaval that she is undergoing then.
He uproots two trees and fells a very big giant but cannot leave behind a skeleton or archaeological find of such a giant!
He talks of a wonderful place called Goloka Vrindavana but go to Vrindavan here and you will be shocked to see the state of thousands of females out there!
Sometimes such questions need answers from outside the realm of faith or religion.
Can you think of anything which can make sense in the here and now?
Do let me know what you think of these episodes.
