KRISHNA THE SUPREME: BOGI YOGI

SERIES PART TWO

Because you are My very dear friend, I am speaking to you the most confidential part ofknowledge. Hear this from Me, for it is for your benefit.[BG .!"#

$he %b&ect of this article as I had stated at the very outset of this series is ' (I am not here

to blaspheme him, don’t get me wrong, I just want to clear up the fact that Sai Baba Is NOT God,neither in manifestation nor incarnation…

!eferring to the first comment post of "rinali !# !ochlani on the article S$I in the %edas&http'((gopal)eert*#wordpress#com(+-(.+(+.(sai/in/the/0edas(1comment/.2 3

she sa*s'

4)atya )ai Baba*he is a saint*he is God*he spread so much knowledge*n u know somethingit says in the Bhagavad Gita that well every time there will be cruelty in this world a saviour will

be born*)hirdi ke )ai Baba+&ust like ord -am was the saviour/

I am certain by this statement you are referring to the verse from Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 4,

Text 7, Transcendental Knowledge:

yada yada hi dharmasya

glanir bhavati bharata

abhyutthanam adharmasya

tadatmanam srjamy aham

TRANSLATION

Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant

of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion—at that time I descend Myself.

In relation, the 0ords ( I descend Myself are particularly important, because here1rishna is $alking and referring to himself, therefore, 1rishna being the original supreme

personality of godhead, will descend, and will therefore still be $he supreme personality

of godhead. )atya )ai baba is not the supreme personality of godhead, or god, and

therefore can not be referred to as the saviour of the age of kali.

!"hirdi #e "ai Baba $just li#e %ord &am' was the saviour

$his statement is absolutely far from the truth, ord -2macandra was the lord3s incarnation of the

)atya yuga age, his prime purpose was to be the (perfect/ or (ideal/ person. In all of ord

1rishna3s Incarnations there were always many reasons for them, and lord -2macandra came

with all his associates to show humanity what ideally they should be, he was the ideal husband,

http://gopalkeerty.wordpress.com/2007/12/21/sai-in-the-vedas/#comment-16





ideal son, ideal brother and father, and also the ideal king. uksmana was the ideal brother, )ita

4evi the ideal wife and ord Hanuman was also the ideal servant.

1rishna promises us in Bhagavad Gita, 5hapter ", te6t 7'

paritranaya sadhunamvinasaya ca dus#rtam

dharma(samsthapanarthaya

sambhavami yuge yuge

TRANSLATION

In order to deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to

reestablish the principles of religion, I advent Myself millennium after

millennium.

In this verse lord 1rishna is declaring that that he will advent every

millennium, the word millennium should be understood to be one of the four

yugas, or in other words the lord shall descend in each yuga, in this age of kali

yuga, we can safely say 1rishna advent has come as $he lord )ri 1rishna

5haitanya Mahaprabhu some 899 years ago, and also the ne6t avatar is

predicted in the :edas as kalki who will be of a pearly white comple6ion, and

who will bring about the destruction of the miscreants at the time of cosmic

annihilation at the end of this kali yuga. $herefore again, sai baba can not be

this saviour.

0hich brings me to another point'

!the Bhagvad )ita doesn*t mention "ai because "ai came a lot of years after the

Bhagvad )ita was written

If you did not notice my title of that article was, )ai in the :edas ;%$ )ai in the

Bhagavad Gita, nonetheless as I stated before, that lord 1rishna3s ne6t avatar as kalki hasalready been predicted in the puranas, yet there is no mention in any of )atya sai baba.

!"ai is great n is a )od o#+ +just li#e "hiv or )uru ana# or )anpati are

%nce again a very common misconception of the difference between yogi, guru,

demigods and ultimately God. ord )iva and Ganpati<lord Ganesh, are demigods, theyare simply ministers of this universe having the )upreme ord as their (president/ the

truth is that lord siva and the other demigods have no power independent of lord 1rishna.

$hey and =very single being in creational e6istence is by their eternal constitutional position servants of the lord, this includes great demigods as Bramha and )iva, and to be



able to be a servant of the lord is the greatest honour and the wish of every soul as the

eternal servant of 1rishna.

In $he Brahma )amhita, ord Bramha +the first created being, and the creator of this

universe speaks the following prayers to lord 1rishna the )upreme personality of

godhead'

TEXT 43

primeval %ord )ovinda, who has allotted their respective authorities to the

rulers of those graded realms.

By this verse we can clearly see the demigod3s position in relation to 1rishna, the

supreme personality of godhead. >lso )rila ?rabhupada writes in Brahma@)amhita

( 2ll the majestic attributes of )ovinda, aggregating si1ty in number, are fully

present in 4is majestic manifestation, arayana. Brahma and "iva are entitiesadulterated with mundane 7ualities.

Man, male and female 4evatas, Brahma, )iva, ;arayana share many Aualities. 1rishna

has Aualities that are e6clusive to Him. $here are a total of !" Aualities of which the firstfifty are in unlimited Auantity in 1rishna, and graded Auantity in other gods and deities

man has them in limited Auantity. Cualities from 8D to 88 are in unlimited Auantity in

1rishna and are deemed special to Brahma, )iva and other gods and goddesses. isted between 8! to !9, ;arayana has still higher Aualities which are not shared by the

preceding entities. Cualities listed between !D to !" are the e6clusive domain of

Krishna, the Supreme Person. $his is a modified list as depicted in 8aiva -harma,

The !ollowing %ualities are in the exclusive domain o! Sri Krishna not present in

an)one other than *+#

!E His adoration is Madhurya ?rema +)weet love and affection showered by Hisdevotees

!F He enchants the three worlds with inimitable sounds of His flute

!" $he resplendent beauty of His transcendental form is enchanting to all mobiles and

immobile forms.

Thus Sri Krishna is the -riginal Supreme Personalit) o! godhead and cannot 'e

compared to, nor stated e%ual to or less than an) other 'eing !or *e is the onl)

a'solute !or all that is#

!i respect 5rsna as much as i respect any other god+co< i am a true hindu

$hat is another misconception of modern day hindus, as stated in ?adma ?urana underthe ten offences to the holy name'

"ivasya sri visnor ya iha guna namadi sa#alam dhiya bhinam pasyet sa #halu

Translation: it is an offence to think that the names and qualities of the demiods like

lord Si!a are equal to or reater than Lord "rishna#

In other words her statement that she respects 1rishna as much as any other God+referring to the demigods is an offence in the sense that she is comparing 1rishna to be

eAual to the demigods, which can not and should not be done.

In conte6t of )ai baba being the saviour' (he literally spread #nowledge n lowered the

differences between castes

)rila ?rabhupada spread the essence and absolute truth of pure love of 1rishna to both

the high and low, he made no distinction between the saints and the crooks, he totally

eradicated the caste system and gave us our varna and ashramas.

!he doesn*t call himself !sathya sai baba +we call him this because he is

I say this in terms of him calling or proclaiming to be God, or as noted )atya )ai baba.

0hen )atya )ai first came to be acknowledged to the general public it was due to many

of his articles and publications that ventured throughout the world full of his 4irectwords, as one article in the late D!3s or early D93s in a BlitL paper >rticle, there was

an article by )atya )ai Baba entitled (God is Indian/ with the following e6tract'



‘His contemporary avatara rests in the Trinity of Shirdi Baba, Sai Baba, and PremBaba to come. So Satya Sai Baba, the second of the triple incarnation, asserted in

the course of a marathon interview to add, ‘In my present avatara, I have comearmed with the fullness of the power of the formless God to save humanity.’

In the last line of the extract he directly, himself, claims to be an avatar, and

incarnation of od. !nother of the extract"

!)od is man and man is )od. 2ll of us have something of )od, the divine spar#, within

us. 2ll men are divine, li#e myself, with the spirit embodied in human flesh and bone. =he

only difference is that they are unaware of this )odhood.

$he philosophy he is preaching (God is Man and Man is God/ is that of a mayavada, andis therefore flawed, and not accepted by )ouls on the path of perfection. >nother of his

mayavada philosophy is displayed here'

“[I am] armed with the fullness of the power of the formless God.”

#ayavada philosophers believe that the lord is formless and unmanifest.

T./0S1/T+-0

Out of many thousands among men, one may endeavor for perfection, and of

those who have achieved perfection, hardly one #nows Me in truth.

In this verse 1rishna is talking about all the yogis that may endeavor through many yearsof austerity to reach the goal, which is 1rishna, but through such a course of &ourney

reaching the ultimate goal, which is to know, love and serve 1rishna is impossible unless

one takes to the path of humble and complete surrender unto the lotus feet of the lord. I

do not deny )ai3s e6tra human powers, but such powers is easily obtainable through this path of penance, and I claim that this was the path taken by )ai in his previous life, which

was ultimately fruitless seeing as he is back in this material world.

Here ord 1rishna3s message is very clear, that our only goal and purpose is to surrenderK unto 1rishna by giving up everything else. $hen there will be no more fears or

worries, 1rishna will deliver us.
