Secrets of Avatars of God | Swami Mukundananda

[@bhaktilectures4098]

We can summarize this discourse in a few important points. - God is One Divine Entity, but He manifests in different forms like Radha Krishna, Sita Ram, Lakshmi Narayan, Parvati Shiv etc. - God takes many Avatars like Purnavatar, Gunavatar, Leelavatar, Aveshavatar, Manwantaravatar, Yugavatar etc. Each Avatar is absolute and complete and non-different from the other Avatars. - God's energies are manifested to different extent in each Avatar based on the need. For example, the three Spiritual Governors of each Brahmanda in the material creation of God, Brahma, Vishnu, Shankar are known as the Gunavatars of God. They are responsible for creation, maintenance and annihilation of one material universe or Brahmanda. In these three forms, God manifests His energy according to the need of these tasks in the material universe. It doesn't mean Lord Shiva is small and Lord Krishna is big and vice versa. - The name of God, forms of God, attributes of God, pastimes of God, abode of God and God-realized Saints are one and non-different from each other. If one has less devotional feelings towards any of these, it is considered 'namaparadha' or spiritual transgression. - Spiritual transgression is the biggest sin a soul can commit and it is unpardonable in the spiritual world, i.e., there is no 'prayashchit' (penance) for it. - Shrimad Bhagavat Mahapurana states that Shri Krishna is the Supreme Lord and all other forms are Ansha or Ansha-Kala (expansions) of Shri Krishna. That means They are all One and non-different from Shri Krishna. - All the energies of God are manifested completely only in His Shri Krishna form. Specifically, there are four qualities or attributes of God that are manifested only in His Shri Krishna form. These are: 1. Rupa Madhuri (Shri Krishna has an astonishing and unsurpassed wealth of beauty that is unparalleled anywhere in the world); 2, Leela Madhuri (Shri Krishna is an ocean of sweet, delightful pastimes which have extraordinary power to attract even divine personalities and liberated souls); 3. Prema Madhuri (Shri Krishna is surrounded by devotees endowed with incomparable love for Him who ornament and complement Him in His pastimes); 4. Murali Madhuri (The sweet enchanting sounds of Shri Krishna's flute can attract the minds of every eligible living being in the universe) - There is an advantage in choosing Shri Radha Krishna as one's Ishtadeva. Because only in the form of Shri Radha Krishna, God bestows Divine Love upon surrendered souls. Divine Love is the highest energy of God that a soul can possibly aspire to attain. It is that 'Divine Love' or 'Prema' which controls God and enslaves Him. - There is no distance between a devotee and God if he worships Shri Krishna. A devotee can form a complete and the most intimate relationship only with Shri Krishna. A devotee can see Shri Krishna as his Master, Father, Mother, Friend, Child and Beloved. The sweetness of bhakti is experienced fully when a devotee does devotion to Shri Radha Krishna.

Thank you guru ji

[@greta6160]

First of all there is no element of fear in god's love and devotion so don't dwell on sin and secondly god bestows divine love in all his form not only in lord Krishna form because is god is complete in all his forms, he is ocean of love. Can a child not get divine love while surrendering to the divine mother?😊 . This is my limited understanding. Thank you, pranam

[@germaineboatwala-sidhva1079]

That answered many questions for me as a non Hindu. I love many of God's avatars and often wondered why there are so many? It's because there are so many ways to love the Lord! If you also include all religions, there are still more ways to Love Him! But, as Krishna says in the Gita, Having divided myself into infinite parts, I Remain! 🙏☀️

[@sandhyadas6323]

Beautiful explanation by Swamiji. There is only one God in the whole universe. He can take any form He wants. He is one and complete.There is no distinction.

[@sindhugangadhar189]

My dear swamiji I first bow down and countless pranam to you. Your lectures are all awesome thank you so much for explaining about lord krishna.

[@monatambe8447]

The beauty and uniqueness of the Sanatan Hindu Dharma is devotees have choices to worship the God in any form, of their choosing, but ultimately they are still worshipping ShriKrishna, but in indirect way. 🙏

[@VivekChandra007]

Bouts of ecstasy and loads of Bhaav developed in me, gradually increasing as I kept listening to this video. This is the Science of God… Although, I am just in third canto of Srimad Bhagwatam, as of now, but I could relate to everything what he is telling, all from our scriptures. This is a very scientifically and logically progressive session of him, like a poem, a Gita. Of course a human being can’t form this himself, this is clear example of “God’s Grace” taking over after complete surrender.

[@monatambe8447]

Who cannot fall in love of Shrikrishna when one reads/listens to the enchanting Leelas of the Beloved? Shrikrishna is love and worshipping Him is to love and be a devotee, it's that simple.

How wonderful to listen. Gratitude to swami ji.

[@smitamehtadenton]

What a mind-blowing lecture! To consider one form of God as inferior or to keep negative sentiments towards one form is regarded as a Namapradha. All of God's avatars have all the shaktis but they are manifested as needed per the purpose of the avatar. It will not be possible to develop love for God by attaching the mind to all different forms of God but if we attach our mind to one form, the quality of devotion will improve. Thank you, Swamiji.

[@monatambe8447]

The power of ShriGuru, 🙏 Swamiji. It's humbling in how Swamiji simplifies even the most difficult teachings so that everyone can understand. Our modern SadGuru 🌺🙏 bestowing knowledge for elevation of all.

[@VivekChandra007]

Totally agree. This is one of most complex topics in understanding God. Even some devotees get confused in realising it, even though they know it. How swami ji explained this Science of God is just divine, brought together by God’s grace towards swami ji .

Masha Allah! Its total surrender to God. In Islam too we have to surrender to God. But since Ishta Devata concept is not there in Islam ,we focus on the love for the Abrahamic prophets especially the major 10 prophets. Muslims get immense love thinking of the life of the Prophet( pbuh) Thank you Swamiji. Jai Shree Krishna, Barakallah feekum.

[@VivekChandra007]

Felt good reading your comment. For God, we are all just souls, material body differences and us getting controlled by material Nature don’t matter much coz these imperfections are very short lived while our Love to him is eternal. That’s why he never gives up on us and send his devotees as messengers while some times coming himself directly (as explained in Bhagwat Gita shloka 4.7 and 4.8 (especially))

[@OrichalcumHammer]

@@billi16 Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that at the Battle of Hanain Allah's Messenger sent an army to Autas and encountered the enemy and fought with them. Having overcome them and taken them captives, the Companions of Allah's Messenger seemed to refrain from having intercourse with captive women because of their husbands being polytheists. Then Allah, Most High, sent down regarding that:" And women already married, except those whom your right hands possess (iv. 24)" (i. e. they were lawful for them when their 'Idda period came to an end).Sahih Muslim 8:3432 Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that Allah's Apostle sent a small army. The rest of the hadith is the same except this that he said: Except what your right hands possess out of them are lawful for you; and he did not mention" when their 'idda period comes to an end". This hadith has been reported on the authority of AbuSa'id (al-Khudri) through another chain of transmitters and the words are: They took captives (women) on the day of Autas who had their husbands. They were afraid (to have sexual intercourse with them) when this verse was revealed:" And women already married except those whom you right hands posses" (iv. 24) Sahih Muslim 8:3433 Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: That while he was sitting with the Prophet a man from the Ansar came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We get slave girls from the war captives and we love property; what do you think about coitus interruptus?" Allah's Apostle said, "Do you do that? It is better for you not to do it, for there is no soul which Allah has ordained to come into existence but will be created." Sahih Bukhari 8:77:600 Then we reached Khaibar; and when Allah enabled him to conquer the Fort (of Khaibar), the beauty of Safiya bint Huyai bin Akhtab was described to him. Her husband had been killed while she was a bride. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) selected her for himself and took her along with him till we reached a place called Sa`d-AsSahba,' where her menses were over and he took her for his wife. Haris (a kind of dish) was served on a small leather sheet. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) told me to call those who were around me. So, that was the marriage banquet of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Safiya. Sahih Bukhari 4:52:143 Ibn ‘Umar [al-Waqidi] - Kathir b. Zayd - al-Walid b. Rabah - Abu Hurayrah: While the Prophet was lying with Safiyah Abu Ayyub stayed the night at his door. When he saw the Prophet in the morning he said "God is the Greatest." He had a sword with him; he said to the Prophet, "O Messenger of God, this young woman had just been married, and you killed her father, her brother and her husband, so I did not trust her (not to harm) you." The Prophet laughed and said "Good". The History of Al-Tabari, State University of New York Press, vol.39

The ultimate message from Hinduism is also that God is one. It's just that he comes in different forms and teaches us various life lessons. In fact, the soul is also one and we are all part of a bigger universe. One day, by the grace of God we will all dissolve in him and that will be when our purpose of human life will be fulfilled 🙏🏼

[@atharva-upclosingnature2423]

A dog recognises his master no matter what clothes of fashion the master wears. Whether the master comes in Indian - traditional dress, or Arabic robes , office suit or Chinese Kimono... the dog will always recognize the master by his smell or mere sound... Sometimes I hide and peep my dogs but they seem to get alert and aware of my presence. They are so loyal. However, people who do naam-apradh, who are unable to recognize that same One Almighty Supreme God, who is worshipped in innumerable forms across the world, as Jesus , Krishna Ram Sai Baba Shiv Allah etc , are worse than dogs... Such people have ego inside them of scriptural knowledge and probably haven't tasted the 'ras' of different forms of God. I have experienced every religion and their form of the one God and I always personally felt that He is one. I may be persecuted to death, but I wont give up this belief that we all worship the same one God ... There were, however, confusions that one scripture tells that some form is supreme and other tells another form is supreme.. But all that confusion has vanished off by God's grace and I am able to feel God's presence in His every form..

Great information. I have one question: I am in the process of converting to Hinduism. What books should I have? Besides The Bhagavad Gita, The Vedas, what else should I have on my shelf?

[@bhaktilectures4098]

Bhagavad Gita is good enough to get started with. But we don't study the Vedas and the Upanishads by ourselves. In fact, the Vedic verses suggest all to humbly submit unto a God-realized Saint in order to acquire the knowledge of the Vedas and Upanishad (a God-realized Saint is one who has the theoretical knowledge of the Vedic scriptures and has practically experienced/attained Personal God). In Sanskrit language, each word can have multiple different meanings. How will one know the exact meaning of a word then? When a person is not God-realized, he may interpret the meaning of the scriptures very differently. This can lead to great confusion. It may also bring disaster! Just like in the material world, we depend on our teachers to help us understand a particular subject, in the spiritual realm also we need a God-realized Saint who can help us understand the divine knowledge of the scriptures. Hope this clarifies your doubt.
