Query:
What is the difference between Krishna and the other enlightened tirthankaras
after enlightenment?
Vijay
Kumar:
Your queries
intrigue me. Your grasp of the spiritual world is phenomenal! Your thirst for
spiritual wisdom is evident from your queries. God bless you.
Krishna
is considered as an Avatar of the era (god manifest in human form). Ever since
the existence of humanity on Mother Earth, Lord Krishna, Bhagwan Krishna was the
first Avatar! What is it that makes a human being rise to the level of an Avatar!
What differentiates an Avatar from man gods like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus
Christ or Prophet Mohammed?
Lord
Krishna and Bhagwan Kalki (the awaited one)... both are termed Avatars (God manifest
in human form). On the contrary every enlightened being becomes a man god like
Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed! The knower of Bhagavad
Gita... all the sacred wisdom existing in the Cosmos is termed a man god... one
who gains enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha).
The
prime difference between an Avatar and man god is the difference in their capabilities!
Anyone who gains enlightenment becomes a man God. Every enlightened being becomes
a man God. Every Avatar is also a man God initially. But every man God is never
an Avatar! Why?
Let
me explain this point by an example -
If
we throw a lawn tennis ball on the ground... it initially takes a tip... the first
strike on the ground! Again it jumps back forming a crest. This is the stage when
Mahavira is born! Again the ball goes down and jumps back! It forms a second crest
and Gautama Buddha is born! In the third strike Jesus Christ is born... in the
fourth prophet Mohammed and so on.
The
last two crests were formed when Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana
came into the scene. Both of these man gods gained enlightenment in their lifetime!
Time has come for the ball to finally rest. There is no further energy left for
the ball to make a crest! The present Yuga... the Kali Yuga is about to end!
The
dawn of a new era... the golden Yuga can only start with the coming of an Avatar
of the era... one who has the power to lift the ball and throw it again to form
a new Yuga... a new temporal cycle of life! The prime difference between a man
God and an Avatar is the possession of administrative capabilities!
Every
man God is a spiritual Master of the highest order. There is nothing beyond the
level of a man God that is achievable on the spiritual scale! Yet... on the administrative
front... all man gods are absolute failures! No man God can ever be expected to
carry out dutifully the responsibilities of the manifest world... the mortal world!
It
simply can never be! Only when one ends the cycle of karma forever... one gains
enlightenment and finally salvation! Yet, amongst the mankind comes a time like
the present Kali Yuga when one amongst the ordinary not only gains enlightenment
but also commands administrative discipline of the highest order.
This
is not a routine matter... it happens once every 3000 to 5000 years when the ball
completely loses energy! A simple human being... a loner makes it ones responsibility
to put the ball back on its pedestal... throw it again with full force! To re-establish
Dharma (righteousness)... powers much beyond than gaining enlightenment alone
become necessary.
In
the present Kali Yuga... people await with abated breath the coming of Bhagwan
Kalki... the annihilator of the present Kali Yuga... one who shall abolish adharma
(lawlessness) and re-establish Dharma (righteousness) forever! Bhagwan Kalki...
the apt administrator would cleanse the society of all the ills faced today.
This
one-man army would succeed in killing 5.5 million people... the rot of the society
at large! Only then the present society... the ailing society find reprieve permanently!
The cosmic system has been built like that by God Almighty. It is not in the hands
of mankind to change the system... the laws of nature!
The
combined power of Mahavira (a man God) and Chanakya (the most able administrator
world has ever seen) is what we know as Avatar (god manifest in human form)! To
cleanse the society of its ills is a gigantic task... something beyond the comprehension
of most human beings... yet, it would all become possible with the advent of Bhagwan
Kalki!
Bhagwan
Kalki is expected to surface around 2012 and by 2014 is expected the dawn of a
new era... the golden Yuga... the Satyuga! In between 2012 and 2014 is expected
the fiercest war the present era... a full scale nuclear war between Christianity
and Islamic Dharma... the two fanatical societies... religions not based on logistics!
Nostradamus
has said this... and so do Bible and Quran! If negative karma has been performed...
the fruits of the same shall be reaped by both the societies... by both the religions!
As per the doctrine of karma we only reap what we sow... Nothing less or more!
World War 3 that is expected around 2012 would result in almost 1200 million people
perishing from the world stage... a chaos of unimaginable magnitude!
The
WTC affair was only a precursor of the events expected to take shape in the near
future! Whatever seeds of dissension USA and its allies sowed in the Middle East...
the outcome of the same would be witnessed shortly! In the name of WMD (weapons
of mass destruction)... USA and its allies not only created havoc but completely
ruined the economy of sovereign countries like Afghanistan and Iraq!
In
the house of God... forgiveness is possible only if we repent! What if the standards
indicate a dictatorial style of functioning! The self declared watchdog of the
world... the superpower number one... the United States of America has overstepped
its jurisdiction in wanting to control the oil supplies of Iraq. The consequences
would be disastrous! The entire world would reap the fruits of the karma performed
collectively by United States of America!
One
can imagine the disaster in waiting... a man made one! Something more fearful
than anything created by nature!
To
summarize... all the 24 tirthankaras of Jainism were man gods like Mahavira...
the 24th Tirthankara! Lord Krishna who came about thousand years earlier to Mahavira
was an Avatar!
