namaskaram Kalyan ji , ...
ok i understand that chaitanya got you into Krushna bhakti, but as human beings we constantly evolve, and our knowledge expands day by day, so instead of trusting controversial stories, why can't you hold on to the established authoritative ones? Like you can always approach the feet of Sri Maha Lakshmi/Bhoo devi/Neela devi instead of Radha and when you have every chance to worship the feet of an acharya like Ramanuja why go to the others who have all sorts of fake stories around them ?
I have thought about your question throughout the day , ....yes , it is true , as human beings we evolve , our knowledge may expand , ....but I am not interested so much in Knowledge , except in the instance of experiencial knowledge , I am not Jnanai , not in this lifetime , ....and again and again however much l think this one through , my answer is much the same , .......Krrsna himself is all atractive yes , ...do you agree?
then this being so he will attract us each in different ways , he will attract us due to our own propencities , ...
so when you hear the passtimes of Radha and Krsna this does not appeal to you , for you your needs are different so you must look for verification of their athenticity because you do not instincively understand their nature , .....
Now if Balaji , Sri devi and Bhu devi were to appear over night in my shrine room , then l would beleive that they wanted me to worship them , so naturaly I would want to know more about their nature , their divine atributes , ....but instead l met a Guru who gave me the seva of Radha Krsna , he put RadhaMadhava in by hands this is enough for this one lifetime , ....in this lifetime I will be happy just to deepen my understanding of their nature , ....I canot say that any one form of devotion is higher than another only that as we deepen in understanding which ever school of devotion we belong to the understanding of that particular form will deepen , our apreciation will become stronger , this appreciation does not come in bottles or through reading authotitive texts it comes from unaloyed devotion to which ever form the Lord appears to you in this lifetime , ....
but you ask about ''controversial stories'' ...now that you ask I have something to add to this subject , ...why did the Vrindarban Lila remain hidden for so long ? .....why is it you canot find mention of it is in other Shastra ? ...because it is confidential , ....what passes between a man and woman even in great sagas like the Mahabarata remains untold except in the occasion that the wife bears children , this becomes noteworty beacause they will inturn play a part in the grand Scheme of things but their actual personal relations remain untold it is a mere matter of politeness , ....secondly one must remember the deception played on Kamsa , ..it was fortoled that the eighth child of Devaki would kill Kamsa , ......if it were written anywhere prior to the fortelling that the Baby would be swaped in the night and would be taken to Vrindarban then the evil king would track him down , if anyone spoke of Krsnas Vrindarban Lila the killing of Kamsa would never have happened , ....so it was Krsnas will that this lila must remain Hidden untill after the date , ......so naturaly these private and confidential lila remained in the hearts of those to who he was enjoying this hidden lila , ...only to emerge later as an illustration of Suddha Bhakti , .....
Its like resorting to begging when you have millions in the bank already there for you
if I had millions in the bank I would build a temple for RadhaMadhava , then still I would be the begger of their mercy Daily
but I may also make a special place Balaji Sri devi , Bhu devi and Nila devi as I do rather like them too , ...
so Beautifull I would like to sing to them too and make them garlands , ..so when I find a million in my bank account I will call you you can come here and teach me more about Sri Venkatesvara , ....
, i am not talking about who accepts it or not..... have you read the BG,
