Back to Krishnaism

[Desert Snake]

Anyways, I've experimented with Xianity, been posting in those forums, but looks like it's back to Krishnaism as I can't reconcile some of the radical differences between myself and others claiming to be 'Christians'.

ps some things may go unanswered in the Xian DIR's.

By "Krishnaism," do you mean Hinduism, the Hare Krishna movement, or something else?

What happened to Buddhism?

What is krishnaism?

The belief that Krishna is svayam bhagavan, Brahman. Vishnu is an emanation of the Supreme Krishna; Vishnu in turn incarnates as the Krishna of this world.

I just wanted to know whether he was talking about worshiping Krishna in general, or the about following ISKCON.

No I don't belong to that group.

Thorbjorn is correct.

Wow! You went from being a Jesusist, to a Buddhist, to Krishnaism,and all in 8 days.

Oh, I'm sorry.I must have misunderstood then.You see,it's just that I have a comment on my profile page from you that states this,
disciple 10-17-2014 10:10 PM "[U]I'm a Jesusist,[/U] it's like Christian except that Jesus is worshipped as G-d and the 'man form' Jesus in the NT is similar to parables as opposed to the "evidence" of a Jesus, that 'evidence', viewed through other religious lense is not necessary.
Some Xians are more similar, many aren't."

Then you told me on your personal profile comment page that you were now a Buddhist.You erase all of those comments.Someone just asked you on this forum,"What happened to Buddhism?"

Now, this forum you posted, says "back to Krishnaism."

Did I miss something?

Yes I was a Krishnaist long before joining RF, and when I changed the affiliation listed next to religion, I let everyone know, and in fact don't even post in DIR's in which there might be a issue, what's your point?

Why is Krishna a very popular incarnation? Or in general Vishnu unlike Shiva or Brahma? And why isn't BrahmaN the main focus to many Hindus? I would think that if I were a Hindu that Brahman would be the most important.

Isn't Shiva the most popular one of the Trimurti and oldest of the sects?

I'm not sure what you're asking. Krishna is Brahman, and Vaishnavism is very prevalent due to the efforts of Vedantins like Shankara, Madhva, Ramanuja, Chaitanya, Prabhupada etc.

Shiva is the more popular one if you count Vishnu alone. However, if you consider worship of Vishnu and all his incarnations together, he is far more popular than Shiva.

Thank you for replying to this, I didn't know that.

His playfulness, joie de vivre, the everyperson's deity. In the Bhagavad Gita 12.5 Krishna says "It is much more difficult to focus on God as the unmanifested than God with form, due to human beings having the need to perceive via the senses." http://www.bhagavad-gita.org/Gita/verse-12-04.html

I hope you find what you're looking for -- just remember that getting caught up in labels sometimes isn't necessary.

Thanks for the advice but it isn't necessary.
