Some basic doubts

Haribol !1. Why incarnation of Ramprabhu was for a full life span to kill Ravana and not like Narsinha just for killing Hiranyakashyapu ?2. Rama in mahamantra is addressed to Shri Ramaprabhu or to Shri Balarama3. Disciplic succession was broken and that is why Krishna delivered Gita to Arjuna to re establish the succession .However we do not find Arjuna carry forwarding the disciplic succession by giving that gyan to anybodyelse .4. When God is so power full why he kept ignorance in the material world . He could have at least taken one crash course for all living beings to liberate them .5. Why Paramatma was bored by being alone and decided to multiply using his Maya .These might be very basic questions but if anyone knows the answers please enlighten me . I do not dare to ask any Prabhuji about these doubts inany discourse .

    Hare Krishna dear Devotees, please accept my humble obeisances! ALl glories to Srila Prabhupada!

    3. When Krishna sang Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna in other side Dhritarashtra was listening by the words of Sanjaya. Snajaya got this power by the blessings of Vyasadev. so it means Vyasadev Himself also could see everything what was happening in the Kurukshetra field. otherwise how He can bless with such power somebody not having Himself.
    And He wrote it as a Mahabharata, inside is Bhagavad Gita.
    Later Mahbharata was told to Dhananjaya the son of King Parikshit. But King Parikshit heard Srimad Bhagavatam from Shukadeva Goswami.
    From Shukadeva Goswami also heard Suta Goswami who later gave this knowledge to the sages in Naimisharanya...

    4. it was our own desire to try to be a god. It is not possible in the Spiritual world. There is only Krishna is God. Because of that we were put into illusion in order think and feel ourselves as gods.
    this material world never will end. again and again living entities will come and go.

    5. where did You read about Paramatma's being bored Prabhu?! Boring comes from the mode of ignorance. But Krishna is above from those modes because they His energies, how can He be controlled by His energies?

    1. He wanted some "spicy pastimes" not monotonous. (joking)
    Ashwani Kumar Prabhu explained this very nicely.

  • regarding your question who does rama refer to?

    If one chants the Hare Krsna maha-mantra with a vague or cloudy conception, he will not get the  perfection of Radha-Krsna prema in Vrndavana. Every word in the maha-mantra refers specifically  to Radha and Krsna. Occasionally in his
    preaching, Srila Prabhupda would indicate that the word  Rama refers to three
    Ramas: 'arasurama, Lord Ramacandra and Lord Balarama. His Divine Crace  also
    said that Rama in the maha-mantra "can be accepted as Balarama." But overall,
    Srila  Prabhupada repeatedly defined ind explained that the maha-mantra means
    only Radha and Krsna.  When one chants the maha-mantra, therefore, he should
    keep on  Radha-Krsna fixed in his mind  and heart. Otherwise, as Srila
    Bhktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura points out, one may end up in  Ayodhya or
    Vaikuntha.

    "The Hare Krsna maha-mantra has nothing to do with Rama-lila.
    The (name "Rama" means Radha Ramana Rama, or Krsna-who givs pleasure to Srimatl
    Radharanl. Gaudiya Vaisnavas believe the maha-mantra is one hundred percent
    Krsna consciousness no Rama consciousness. The inner  conception of the mantra
    is respoisible for our spiritual attainment."If when one chants "Rama"  he
    thinks of Lord Ramacandra, his attraction takes him to Ayodhya [Rama's holy
    abode]. If a  devotee chants "Rama" thinking that Rama means Radha Ramana Rama,
    then he will go to  Goloka Vrndavana. The inner conception of the devotee will
    determine his destination. Hare is  the vocative form of Hara which means Radha.
    Hara [Radha] means one who can even steal the  attention of Krsna, Hari. Krsna
    means He who is absolutely the most attractive." (Sri Caitanya's
     Teachings)

    Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura also agrees with his son: "A
    devotee must remember the meaning of  the Hare Krsna maha-mantra while chanting
    it. All the words of the maha-mantra refer to Radha  and Krsna. The word Rama
    means Radha Ramana. Sri Krsna, who is the chief amongst those  expert in loving
    affairs and the worshipable Deity of amorous pastimes, always enjoys with Radha.
    Therefore, Krsna is called Rama, Radha Ramana." (Bhajana-rafmsya) Srila
    Prabhupada concurs with the predecessor acaryas: "Oh Hare, Oh Radharanl! Oh
    Krsna! Please engage me in  Your service, so I can get relief from the service
    of maya." (SPL7/8/69)
