Respected admin.. Can you send my question to prabhajanacharyaru... Regarding this shloka from mahabharata shanti parva by krishna.. Mahabharata. Santi Parva 341:22 - 27. Krishna said:- Narayana is the Self of Rudra it should be known from age to age. If that god of gods (Maheshvara) be worshipped, then O Partha, is the mighty Narayana also worshipped. I [Krishna] am the Self, O Arjuna of all the worlds, of all the universe. Rudra again is my Self. It is for this reason that I always adore him. If I do not adore the auspicious and boon-giving Isana nobody would then adore Me in essence. The principles I set are followed by all the worlds. Those principles should always be respected, and it is, therefore, that I too respect them. He who knows Rudra knows Myself, and he who knows Me knows Rudra. He who follows Rudra follows Me. Rudra is Narayana. Both are one Being, appearing in two different forms. Rudra and Narayana, forming one Being, pervade all things and cause them to act. Can you clarify this.... What's acharya madhva's take on this sutra...(it contradicts the taratamya teachings of acharyaru) It will be great help if you reach out to acharya with this
It's simple.. Krishna himself had declared about his manifestations and important adhishtanas as presence/ vibhuti roopa in bhagavadgeeta.. If both are verified/corelated under simple truth of Madhwa philosophy, anyone can make sure.. Reading geetAtAtparya can help understanding this better..
