Kali-yuga

Posted by Punkech Patel on March 26, 2024 at 4:43am

Good question here which probably nobody will be able to answer without a 'you will goto hell' .

Why does Krishna or God (any god) expect us to do Bhakti in this iron age (which is vile)/ When He Himself God will NOT advent Himself again? for many many years?

      Prabhu g , you are right in your own way.

      Of course you know the... om purnnam adah purnam idam purnaat purnam udacyate...

      In one way we could give pain in our minute infinitesimal way to the lord,and we should also consider this ...

      the pain and pleasure that we perceive is experienced by us through the agency of durga devi and her associate sense devtas etc.Sure enough the pain part can't be awarded to lord by his own potency!

      now the other kind of pain e.g the viraha pain etc is not a problem right..??

      and for the third kind of pain viz the pain of compassion felt by lord chaitanya for the fallen souls is something purely theoretical for us to understand unless we are own the uttam adhikari platform

        Hare Krsna

        "The Lord has feelings. The Lord is satisfied if someone offers Him a nice prayer, and similarly, if someone decries His existence or calls Him by ill names, God is dissatisfied.
        The conclusion is that God is as sentient as we are. He is satisfied by our prayers and dissatisfied by our harsh words against Him. "

    Hare Krsna Prabhuji,

    PAMHO.

    Krsna doesnt expect anything from us. It is in our interest to surrender to Him, if we want to end our miseries of lifetimes. The only way to end miseries is to get out of this material world. The only way to get out of the material world is by bhakti in Kaliyuga. 

    Choice is ours.

    Haribol,

    Your servant,

      Hare Krsna Mataji

      "One should surrender fully to the Lord, forgetting one's so called material happiness, opulence and education, which are not at all useful for pleasing the Lord. The Lord is pleased only by the process of surrender unto Him."
      Srimad-Bhagavatam Canto 5 Chapter 19 Introduction

    Why do you think that Krishna expects anything from us?

    • Madhava das > gaurav chauhan March 26, 2024 at 11:36am

      Because Krsna demands surrender

      • gaurav chauhan > Madhava das March 26, 2024 at 11:53am

        Yeah but it doesn't affect him in any way whether we surrender or not,so where is the expectation part?

  • Madhava das March 26, 2024 at 9:44am

    Hare Krsna

    Very good question. This is real intelligence.

    Hari Bol
