A question for you your Holiness Radhanath Swami, when one understands the importance of Krishna in our daily lives, they study and practice with sincerity toward Krishna, then one has to perform there mundane duties toward survival and in travel between the work world and the home world, a new devotee as myself wants to find like association but does not. Is conversing about the truth of Krishna dangerous? Should not all hear? Then when some can take benefit from the truths of scripture should that truth be refrained due to the possibility of the potential misunderstanding or the potential for that knowledge to be misappropriated by other listeners? Should I continue to seek like minded devotees where I live? Or should I move to find people who can geniuningly understand Krishna's message? Or is such want to find association, even though, based on the glories of Krishna, actually the mind which is not conductive to the likeness of Krishna? Or am I only self serving to find like association? I feel I may have answered some of my questions by asking more, but I feel it is an apprioprate question when considering where the 'tiger' lays, in the mind of course, in everyone's mind.
This is the most secret and sacred knowledge of all. It is not easy to understand or accept for everyone that THIS WHOLE WORLD AND ITS INHABITANTS, BOTH ANIMATE AND INANIMATE, ARE KRSHNA IN DIFFERENT NAMES AND FORMS. You also will experience THIS MOST UNIQUE TRUTH as you advance and at the end of your spiritual journey. Even when Krshna was in a human body about 5,000 years plus ago, He was abused by many. Therefore, this knowledge will only reach those who are matured and ready to receive IT. This is one reason that Hindus don't try to convert others to this TRUTH OF DIVINITY. The TRUTH is explained in countless Vedic Scriptures and related Literatures (2,000 + foundational ones, over 10,000 main commentaries, and over 100,000 sub-commentaries, and still growing) because these expressions relate to THE DIVINE that is INFINITELY VAST (greater than the greatest) AND SMALLER THAN THE SMALLEST (atom). You are lucky that you are on the path to Krshna.
Hello Vavamenon. I had posted a question the other day that I thought you might know more about. I was wondering if you happen to know about an intricacy in The Ramanyana and could guide my to a Vedic Literature that goes into a more thorough detail of Hanuman. My question was according to the instance where Hanuman set Ravanas Palaces on fire with his tail. Did Hanuman set Ravanas Palaces ablaze in a particular order or was the order insignificant and actually an expansion of Hanumans activities in Ravanas Garden. I felt it is an appropriate question due to the leaping abilities of Hanuman and how Hanuman awaited Ravanas armies on top of the gate in Ravanas Garden and How Hanuman defeated such a determined force with one bar. I thought, would the order of Ravans Palaces burnt by Hanuman be according to Hanumans design or Ravanas design or Sitas design or Ramas design? Or could it have been preordained by Who set Hanumans tail on fire or the manner in How his tail was set on fire? If you happen to know of an appropriate Vedic Literature on the subject or someone who had asked the same question your response will be full heartedly appreciated. In any case, thank you again.
Hi, Cole-ji, I appreciate your curiosity to know more.... Only by seeking THE TRUTH, you would reach it, learn, understand, realize and experience THE TRUTH, that is DIVINITY, within you first and all around you.... Now, it is like "fish in an ocean, searching for water". Fish breathes, drinks, eats, sleeps and lives throughtout it'slife in water. It can'tfeel water..... Like that, we are part of THE DIVINE, exist in THE DIVINE eternaly, but to identify THE DIVINE as a separate entity from us is easy to preach but DIFFICULT TO COMPREHEND..... Bhagavath Geetha 10th & 11th chapters titled "VIBHOOTHI-YOG" & "VISHVA-ROOPA DARSHANA YOG" respectively try to expand this science of NON-DUALITY (ADVAITH). To see His Universal Form and the spontaneous dynamic activities in this universe in His Body, Krshna had to give specially powered eyes (DIVYA-CHAKSHUS) to Arjuna.... It is only His compassion that would remove our ignorance and inability to imbibe and internalise this MOST SECRET AND SACRED KNOWLEDGE. Krshna, residing in whoever is trying to explain this sacred knowledge, as GURU will awaken Krshna in you, and then you will be able to instantly realize the secret content.... Always, this knowledge is passed on in this manner only, and that way, the knowledgeremains, undistorted, undiluted, uncorrupted, and purely SACRED. And this ensures the secrecy also.... And when a true GURU (krshna) discourses on THE DIVINE, the listeners are happy to hear them, since this knowledge concerns the listeners' core being, THE DIVINE.... Such Gurus are vehicles of the DIVINE KNOWLEDGE.... Vaalmeeki Ramaayanam is the first and original Ramayanam. I have not read it, but have listened to discourses from great Gurus. Over the period of about 1.7 million plus years, (Ramayanam happened 1.7 million years ago, because according to Surya Siddhantha time-scales, chathur yug consists of 4.32 million years, Krtha/Sathya yug, Threthaa yug, Dvaapara yug and Kali yug, and Rama incarnated in Thretha yug. Kaliyug is 432,000 yrs long. Add 432,000 yrs, we get Dvapara yug duration, again add 432,000 yrs to Dvaparayug, youbhave duration of Threthayug and add further 432,000 yrs to Threthayug, you have the duration of Krthayug. NASA sattellites when spotted RAM SETHU - the partly drowned bridge between india and sri Lanka, released the photos with their observation that the bridge is about 1.7 million yrs old....) many devotees wrote their own versions of Ramayanam. I hear that there are zbout 300 Ramayanams now. In Valmeeki Ramayanam, burning of Lanka by Hanumanji is known as LANKA-DAHANAM. In youtube,you can watch a lot of sites related to Ramayanam. The burnt our areas are also shown.... I learn that Hanumanji put on fire all major important places in Lanka that is why this particular incident is called "Lanka Dahanam". Hanumanji is the partial incarnation of Lord Shiva (Amsha-avathaaram)... So his powers have origins in Lord Shiva. About who planned it, it is the DIVINE SCHEME OF THE CREATION that wheneversomeone becomes too arrogant and starts thinking that there is no one above him, by several warnings, the Divine tries to teach the egoistically proud ones that "feel blessed that you are custodian of DIVINE WEALTH... BE HUMBLE AND IDEAL TO OTHERS IN LIFE..., EVERYTHING IS TEMPORARY..." Wise ones learn and become pious... Others get crushed.... Hanumanji could have destroyed Lanka by Himself, but that is not the way it was to bevdone. So, all Hanumanji's actions were "warnings" to Ravan.... I hope, things are clearer now to you....
jai sriman narayana... i dont know whether the above thing include the sixth sense or not... but if you really try that (controlling the tongue) along with mind control the result will be more amazing.. controlling the tongue should be done in both ways like in tasting and in speaking.. for example if you try to do it one day,,, the result will surely lead to one more time... and if you surely want to keep the taste of the results alive... you will automatically in practice of it.. like a wise word in our vedic tradition.. taste the words before you speak... which means not to hurt others with your words in any cause.. as like as never let you tongue to demand different taste jai sriman narayana
deep philosophy... Hareeee Krishnaaaaa!!!!!!!
hare krishna
thanks maharaj

By controlling the tongue all other senses are controlled. Does this include the sixth sense?
jai sriman narayana...
i dont know whether the above thing include the sixth sense or not...
but
if you really try that (controlling the tongue) along with mind control the result will be more amazing..
controlling the tongue should be done in both ways like in tasting and in speaking..
for example if you try to do it one day,,,
the result will surely lead to one more time...
and if you surely want to keep the taste of the results alive...
you will automatically in practice of it..
like a wise word in our vedic tradition..
taste the words before you speak...
which means not to hurt others with your words in any cause..
as like as never let you tongue to demand different taste
jai sriman narayana
Yes. What we speak is in the ethers and vibrates round the Earth 7 times, programming what the future manifests. Hari Nama does so much good!
