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.

I Don't Like What You Do!

I was very surprised to see this comment in my inbox yesterday and it was written by one of my dearest friends. He said that he did not like what I do! In spiritual! So why did I join the spiritual bandwagon and what is it that makes me write such stuff on this topic? He truly seemed flabbergasted and wanted to know the whys and the wherefores of it! Spiritual does not happen to a person the way you may get married or pass your school or college. It is mentioned in the holy texts that urge and desire to know God or Self comes about very rarely. Every individual knows about God from his own parents or relatives or friends. His knowledge is as trivial as theirs. None of these are qualified to talk about God. Since no one has seen or experienced Him, how can anyone talk about Him? The knowledge that they profess to have is as trivial as their forefathers since neither of them have experienced Him ever. The knowledge of Self or the longing for liberation happens to someone by the

Success & Failure

Yesterday one of my disciples came and asked me to say some words for her future. She was celebrating her 20th birthday. Though I speak on spiritual I told her that I will talk about her career and other such opportunities. I asked her what she would like to do after she completes her studies and the answer was-I don't know! I told her that it is useless playing football without the goal posts and opponents, so she better have a goal in life. The next was whom would she like to emulate in material worldly success and the immediate answer was Mark Zukerberg, Bill Gates, Mittal and the like! They are highly successful people in this world. Then I asked her whom she would not like to emulate or whom does she consider the most unsuccessful person in life? That was difficult to say. I prodded her! Unable to pin point anyone, I told her the people I would not like to emulate or copy are my parents! That shocked her completely and immediately the heckles stood up. But frankly look a

And we believe that Indians are the only ones who are very superstitious...here are two examples of roof tops of houses in Ollantaytambo, Peru. These are symbols put up atop houses and are called Torito de Pucara. Two bulls, a Cross, A cock, Jugs, flowers, bottle of wine, etc. These are symbols of fertility, prosperity and wealth.
