Goddess Kali Represents Krishna
to manage the material universe
The One God Emperor of all the Worlds, Lord Krishna-Vishnu-Narayana, is first and foremost the Lord and Protector of the kingdom of God.
But for those living beings who want to exhibit extra independence which ultimately harms them, the Lord God creates the material universe. For those living beings who have not yet expired good karma, until time, their lives are calm, pleasant and good.
But those people whose good karma has expired suffer in the material world and sometimes their suffering is so great and painful that they do not want to live at all. For example, I also belong to such people who, in addition to physical suffering from diseases, are also tormented by fascist aggressors and terrorists from the Russian Federation, who every day for more than 5 months, have been firing at our peaceful city with artillery, at beating ordinary people and destroying their homes.
But the Supreme Lord has not forgotten even about us. He has given us protective prayers and mantras by which, by calling upon Him, we can escape from misery and cruel death from aggressive manic sadistic killers who wear the form of soldiers and officers of the Russian army.
Also, the Supreme Lord sent His wonderful envoy, goddess Parvati-Durga, to help the devout servants of the One God and protect them from dangers. Being the full Emanation of the Eternal Divine Spouse of the Supreme Lord, Srimati Radharani, She is also the source of goodness, beauty and compassion in the material universe.
HOLY SAGE SRILA PRABHUPADA SAID:
The Supreme Lord always seeks to return a living being to the spiritual world, but a living being endowed with a certain share of independence stubbornly turns away from the spiritual light. It is this abuse that is the cause of the desperate struggle that a living being wages in the material world...
Therefore, intelligent people who believe in Paramatma, the Supreme Personality of Godhead embark on the path that leads to eternal life in knowledge and bliss.
(Excerpt from Srila Prabhupada's commentary on the 23rd text of chapter 13 "Bhagavad-Gita as It Is").
[PADA: Very nice prayers here. Yes, Krishna is everywhere and He should be our object of worship even when we are being shelled and bombed by our enemy. Wherever we are, in heaven or hell, we have to worship the Lord in whatever circumstances we are in. Very nice!
Someone sent me an "Amnesty International Report," saying that the Ukraine army should not be embedded in the cities. The defending army should stay outside the cities in an army barracks. Fine.
OK, suppose San Francisco is attacked -- and the invading enemy is taking over parts of the city. The USA army should not enter the city, but stay outside. OK that gives the invaders a green light to rob, rape, bomb and kill with no restrictions. I have no idea how the invaders -- who are embedded in the city -- can be routed out -- by the defenders staying outside of the city.
Yep. The USA army should not enter San Francisco, but stay safely outside in the city's army barracks. Ummm, there are no Army barracks facilities here. We have no army barracks anywhere around, and neither do most Ukraine villages and cities.
In other words, Amnesty International has no clue how city warfare has been taking place for the past 5,000 years. The defenders of the city have to embed in the city, or the invaders run rampant with no restrictions. And then the citizens are robbed, raped, and killed with no resistance.
Is that the plan? We should allow the citizens to be robbed, raped, tortured and murdered, while the army spends their time busily constructing a barracks outside the city. Who came up with this plan? The stooges of the invaders?
OK I have to admit, I am not an expert on military strategy. However, if the army is busy building a barracks outside the city, while the citizens are being over-run by the invaders, that seems like advice for the defenders to stay OUT of the city. That is clearly in favor of -- the invaders -- and not the defenders.
Sorry, if someone invades San Francisco, I am going to find some sort of weapon and defend myself inside my own city, and I am not going to start building a barracks outside the city to hang out there in so-called safety. Apart from that, hanging out in the barracks outside the city makes me a prime target for aerial attacks. OK that sounds suicidal to me. Where do they find these military experts?
And this devotee wanted me to publish their report -- evidently without me making comments? Hee hee. Sorry, if you are attacked, you can defend yourself, and that is the Vedic principle. Anyway, now the invaders are getting bombs planted in their cars, their food is being poisoned, their bridges, highways, trains and all sorts of vehicles are being destroyed every day, and that is because the defenders are embedded where the attackers are.
That is how wars have been fought for centuries. It is not going to change now because someone says the armies first of all have to build barracks outside the cities to house themselves before they can engage the invaders. This is Kali Yuga, the wars will be conducted in the cities. Sorry, that is the path of this era. It is not going to change by us waving our hands in the air and wishing it will change.
And if the war turns to full scale shooting huge powerful missiles -- the first places to be hit will be -- cities. They won't bother with the barracks outside the city. In sum, I am amazed at the bone headed people we have posing as military experts, just as I am amazed that the defenders of pedophile worship are considered as advanced devotees in ISKCON. The most ignorant people on a certain topic become the experts. OK, in Kali Yuga.
That being said! All glories to Mother Durga Devi and her bewildering potencies. She has got me fooled most of the time! Or maybe all of the time, who knows? But she is the powerful devotee of Krishna who manages this world. And therefore we should pray to her for help -- getting deliverance from her illusion potency. And there are examples of the gopis and others praying to Goddess Durga for help to get them to Krishna. That is good advice.

LW: Sounds like ISKCON. The invaders get to use all the city infrastructure, the money, the temples, the organization. The defenders get to live in the woods in a tent. The invaders get all the facility.
ReplyDeleteThe people being attacked have to live in a tent in the woods and figure out how to defend themselves from that position. We all know what type people think up those plans. They have the same mind set. They never favor the people being attacked ... they always favor the attackers. Because they are like minded.
None of them understand karma. Attacking the weaker people to exploit them ... or harm them ... or even eliminate them ... is a high crime and misdemeanor ... and it is not forgiven by the higher courts. They don't believe in the higher laws and the higher court because they are rascals.
