Namaskaram Swami

To do all that what Bhagwan likes and to ignore/ avoid all that what he dislikes, you can get it in Bhagwat Geeta. This is the link covering Bhagwat Geeta by Krishnan Swami, which was telecasted over DD Podhigai, this will definitely help.

Adiyen Dasan

Sheshadri swamy, namaskaram. Please hear and study Bhagavad Gita chapter 5, slokams 6 to 13. This section specifically addresses your question.

adiyen dasan.

The laws of Karma are only depended on intentions.

So it doesn’t matter this is Kali Yuga or Sathya Yuga or we live in vedic time or not, ultimately it’s intentions that matters.

Papa can turn to punya and vice versa by intentions.

For example –

Sri Hanuman burnt down countless homes in Lanka, isn’t it big papa? No.

Sri Arjun killed his own family members and teacher’s, isn’t it big papa? No.

Sri Prahalada always was against the wishes of father and never listened but argued to him. Isn’t it papa? No.

Basmasura did nice puja of Shiva ji, isn’t it great punya? No.

Sri Hanuman and Sri Arjun did apparently papa category things but their intention was to make Sriman Rama and Sri Krishna happy

Although Basmasura did nice puja tapa to please Shiva ji BUT his intentions were wrong and against the God

This is how relative are our scriptures. What they said shouldn’t be taken literally but the intentions matters more

There can be a great devotee of Sriman Narayana who works in bar and great offender who apparently looks Godly but with intentions otherwise

That gives much perspective I guess?

Radhakrishna

Please don’t mistake I am interogating you. I am not keen to know who is your acharyan. I only keen to know who is that ‘bold lion acharyan’ who in your perception can ask bewildered souls in this world to “go to hell”. This person may be or may not be your acharyan. So, you don’t have to reveal whether he is indeed your acharyan or not.

Just share who is that unique person, that is good enough for me. Thank you.

best wishes to you, and prayers for you.

Now let us have some sincere conversation, RadhaKrishna.

Yes, this is a forum to discuss dharma; and when there is an apparent breech of dharma we seek clarification on that so that the record is set right for as long as these posts are available to the public.

Now, here is a posting which implies “vaishnava acharyas are bold like a lion; when some souls who are bewildered by the allurements of the material world, out of their misplaced concern for their friends try to motivate them towards the material allurements, the lion like acharyas will not hesitate to say “go to hell” to these bewildered lambs.”

Such a statement about Vaishnava acharyas is close to blaspheme. Because no vaishnava acharya will do that. When someone misrepresents vaishnava acharya in a forum like this, it is the duty of other members to highlight the fallacy to the person who has posted such blasphemous statement, just to make that person accounatable for what he/she posts. Whether or not the person realises his mistake, whether or not the person acknowledges his mistake is completely upto them. Atleast for our part we must step up and request that such self-concocted statements bordering on blaspheme do not belong to this forum.

I have just done my humble effort in this direction.

My genuine heartfelt best wishes to you for you to continue to contribute to this forum in a manner befitting to this august group. Thank you.
