| Feb 2, 2019 at 21:14 | comment | added | user9969 | @Tejaswee It's not present in the today's version of Mahabharata. It was quoted by a Gaudiya Vaishnava Acharya by the name of Baladeva Vidyabhushana. | |

| Aug 27, 2016 at 13:17 | comment | added | Pinakin | I would like to know your thoughts on Tezz's answer because you are a Vaishnava and his answer is only from Vedas so how will you defend the supremacy of Vishnu? | |
| Jun 9, 2016 at 15:40 | comment | added | Tezz | "The ancestors of civilization, and entities such as Shiva, were created by Me....." where does Krishna says it in the Shanti Parva?... | |
| Feb 24, 2016 at 11:58 | comment | added | Pinakin | Can you post the link to that verse of Shanti Parva? I want to see it in Sanskrit. | |
| Oct 6, 2015 at 6:37 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @ChinmaySarupria By the way, I'm a Sri Vaishnava and Sri Vaishnavas believe Ramanujacharya is an incarnation. Ramanujacharya was in favor of the conventional Yuga theory, not Yukteswar's theory. So by questioning the Yuga theory described in the Vishnu Purana and Srimad Bhagavatam, ultimately you'd be questioning Sriman Narayana himself :-) | |
| Oct 6, 2015 at 6:35 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @ChinmaySarupria I've heard of all the people you mentioned, but I'm sorry, I'm not an Advaitin, and I don't believe in the authority of Babaji and his followers like Paramhansa Yogananda, or that Babaji is an incarnation of Shiva. Is Babaji prophesied in Hindu scripture? In any case, if it makes you feel better I'm at least willing to accept that Adi Shankaracharya was an incarnation of Shiva, although he believed in the existence of Kalpas so that's evidence against Yukteswar's Yuga theory. | |
| Oct 6, 2015 at 6:01 | comment | added | Pinakin | @KeshavSrinivasan If you are questioning Yuga theory, you are questioning Babaji and ultimately you are questioning Lord Shiva because Babaji is Lord Shiva himself. | |
| Oct 6, 2015 at 6:00 | comment | added | Pinakin | @KeshavSrinivasan Sri Yukteswar wrote "The Holy Science" on the request of Mahavatar Babaji, the greatest yogi living since time immemorial who is also known as the incarnation of Lord Shiva. You may have heard of Paramahansa Yogananda who is known as the father of Yoga in the west. It was Mahavatar Babaji who sent Mukunda Lal Ghosh(later known as Yogananda) to Yukteswar Giri. Babaji is the one who operates behind the curtains. He requested Sri Yukteswar to write that book because he wanted people to know the real truth. | |
| Oct 6, 2015 at 4:47 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @ChinmaySarupria Well, first of all those foot-marks could be creations by later devotees, and second of all the foot-marks could have been preserved because of the divine powers of Rama. As far as how we will transition into the Kali Yuga, whenever Adharma gets too great in the world, Vishnu will come and restore Dharma. In the end of this Kali Yuga Kalki will come, just as in the end of a previous Kali Yuga Parashurama came. With Vishnu all things are possible. | |
| Oct 6, 2015 at 4:39 | comment | added | Pinakin | @KeshavSrinivasan No one can question the Vedas, I also know that Vedas are the ultimate truth. You must have seen the foot marks of Lord Hanuman and some other places related to Lord Rama. If the Treta Yuga, Dwapara Yuga, Kali Yuga were as big as they are shown in Srimad Bhagavatam, those foot marks won't be available today. The wrong theory also says that Satya Yuga will come after Kali Yuga. How will we progress into Satya Yuga with all these atomic bombs? A transition from darkest age to the golden age cannot happen directly which is enough proof for me that Sri Yukteswar is right. | |
| Oct 6, 2015 at 4:30 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @ChinmaySarupria Well, I happen to disagree with Yukteswar's Yuga theory; Yukteswar doesn't even believe in Manvantaras and Kalpas despite their being referenced in countless Hindu scriptures. In any case, we can at least trust that the Shatapatha Brahmana of the Yajur Veda is 100% correct, because the Vedas were passed down in the most rigorous oral tradition process. | |
| Oct 6, 2015 at 4:26 | comment | added | Pinakin | @KeshavSrinivasan - I agree with you that it is based on some texts but we cannot guarantee that those texts are 100% correct. For example, there are many many errors in Srimad Bhagavatam like the wrong Yuga Theory. | |
| Oct 6, 2015 at 4:26 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @ChinmaySarupria The words of Jnanis like Vyasa, as recorded in Hindu scripture in order to serve as Sabda Pramana, are good enough for me. | |
| Oct 6, 2015 at 4:23 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @ChinmaySarupria It's not false ; it's based on Sabda Pramana, relying on the Yajur Veda and the Srimad Bhagavatam. Now I don't happen to be an Advaitin, but if you're an Advaitin surely you agree that within the world of Maya, some Devas are the fathers of other Devas, even if all the Devas are ultimately manifestations of Nirguna Brahman. | |
| Oct 6, 2015 at 4:20 | comment | added | Pinakin | @KeshavSrinivasan - This is all false Keshav. Have you seen Vishnu? Have you seen Brahma? Have you seen Shiva? Truth is only one - Brahman. That Nirguna Brahman in the realm of Maya, appears to the world as Saguna Brahman in the form of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Shiva was not born out of Vishnu but the truth is that Vishnu was created by Shiva. Go to himalayas, find some true yogis, ask the truth - they will all say one thing - Shiva is the beginning less or Swayambhu. Space is Brahma, Time is Vishnu, Black Hole is Shiva(Mahakaal). | |
| Apr 19, 2015 at 15:44 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @sugunan As far as the story of Brahma and Vishnu's contest at Arunachalam goes, the version of the story found in the Shiva Puranas is likely a later interpolation. In other versions of the story Vishnu wins the contest by touching Shiva's feet. See my answer here: hinduism.stackexchange.com/a/267/36 | |
| Apr 19, 2015 at 15:39 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @sugunan No Brahma's pride had nothing to do with feeling equal to Shiva; it was just a consequence of pursuing Saraswati. See my answer here: hinduism.stackexchange.com/a/6793/36 And the fact that Shiva cut off Brahma's fifth head doesn't mean Shiva is greater than Brahma. And in any case, regardless of whether Shiva is superior to Brahma, that doesn't change the question of who created whom. Rama was greater than Dasharatha, but Rama was still the son of Dasharatha. | |
| Apr 19, 2015 at 5:43 | comment | added | sugunan | @KeshavSrinivasan If Siva created by Brahma. We have another story that Brahma and Siva had five head. Because of that Brahma got proudness he is equal to Siva. This is the reason Bhairava created by Siva and he remove one of Brahma's head. Isn't it mean Siva is bigger than Brahma?. Additionally we have another story Brahma and Vishnu had conflict between them that who is biggest. And Siva appear in between them as a light beam then ask them to find the top or bottom. Here also both of them defeated. | |
| Feb 8, 2015 at 17:09 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @Aditya Well, Krishna's answer to your question about the Rudrahridaya Upanishad indicates how Vaishnavas can understand its meaning in such a way that it doesn't contradict the primacy of Vishnu. But I think a more parsimonious explanation is that the Rudra Hridaya Upanishad is a later interpolation; its existence is not mentioned in any ancient text. The earliest mention we have of it is in the Muktika Upanishad, which only reached its final form in the seventeenth century, as I discuss in this answer: hinduism.stackexchange.com/a/3012/36 | |
| Feb 8, 2015 at 16:53 | comment | added | AdityaS | The Rudrahrdayopanisad, which is one of the 108 Upanishads listed in the Muktikopanisad, states that Vishnu and Brahma are manifestations of Rudra. Doesn't this contradict the Bhagavadgita, the Srimad Bhagavatam, and other scriptures then? | |

| Jun 23, 2014 at 15:04 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @rohanAM Vishnu is the supreme god (he's called Devadeva), and the supreme being (he's called Bhagavan). Brahman isn't a being or a deity, Brahman is more of an abstract essence; see my answer here: hinduism.stackexchange.com/a/445/36 | |
| Jun 23, 2014 at 10:45 | comment | added | demonofthemist | I have a doubt before accepting this answer. Is the supreme god, refered as Brahman & Vishnu are same? Then why they are refered differantly? | |
