amardeep Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh. I have been reading pages of the Dasam Granth and i noticed the chapter on Krishna Avatar mentioning the incident at the river where Krishna hides the milk-maids clothes and tries to seduce them. in my narrow and sinfull mind i can not comprehend this story. What is the message of this, is it to be taken literally, and if that is the case; Why is he held in such a high esteem by "puratan groups" of Sikhism? i hope i have not offended anyone by this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekhane'ch Jannat Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 It means when the soul or psyche (krishna) tries to provoke anger to 'others' or sense objects, by provoking them i.e. taking their clothes away, which allegorically means all, unappropriate for the time, beliefs and dogmas people hold dear. Or if you like false idols. It is a timeless motif the answer can only be answered by krishna when approached with the correct 'offerings' of knowledge and gurbani. But be careful only Krishna has the power to play with the gopi's, if you do not know krishna, the gopi's will laugh and ridicule you and make you feel stupid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malwe Da Sher Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Krishna's young age proves that 'erotic tales' on the life of krishna written in various scriptures cannot be interpatated literally, which is the serious fault committed by todays Sikh 'scholars'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyhp32 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 It depend whether you take the literal meaning or as some have done an esoteric meaning. I'm sure that many a fake Baba who asks for the wife or daughter of his dumb follower to spend the might with him will give his dumb follower an esoteric meaning for what will take place that night! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
