Thanks for the welcome back. Can i make one thing clear, there was not anything to give up, my absence was forced upon me for personal reasons,nothing to do with anyone here on HDF, as for fighting for my right, i do not have any axe to grind with anyone, so relax Believer i am not about to cause any riots.
I didn’t believe that the puranas to be historical events.
that is your prerogative, remove that and you will be removing a lot of History of Bharat varsa, weather true or not, mind set of a lot of our bygone era is shaped by the puranas.
Devotion to our avatars and divine figures has nothing to do with they being historical or not. That’s my view. Debate on rule of emperor ashoka comes as something of historical interest. Whereas similar debate on rule of Rama should not be entertained by all and sundry, since it involves faith and devotion.
any given historical even is tinged by some degree of faith to go with it. Both Ram and Krishna requires a lot of faith what to speak of them i have great difficulty visualizing my great great parents because i had not seen them. But they all leave trail for us to follow. Ramayan and Mahabharat they are both described as Ithihas (History) as against Puranas which are of antiquated event that describes different yugas, no wonder we find them far fetched.
Great personalities like Sankaracharya did not call them myth, frankly i do not have to doubt the historical even that has been described in our Ithihas. contemporary history can be as subjective as any other event, both Ram and Krishna have trails that is followed even today, what makes Ashoka more Historical then Krishna, just because it is more ancient!
Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
