- synopsis
- (Translated as in Krishna: The Man and His Philosophy on CD-ROM)
- Question 1
- Draupadi, who is also known as Krishnaa, has been subjected to harsh criticism and detraction, but Krishna loves her tremendously. Please say something about her in the context of our own time.
- Question 2
- You say that persons like Krishna don't make friends nor do they make foes. Then how is it that he as a king comes running down to the gate of his palace to receive Sudama, his poor old friend of childhood days and gives him all the wealth of the world in return for a handful of rice that his poor friend has brought as his present to him? Please shed some light on this special friendship between Krishna and Sudama.
- Question 3
- It is said that Krishna gave Sudama so much that it wiped out his life-long poverty. But the same Krishna does nothing to wipe out the poverty of the society in which he lives. It is understandable if Mahavira and Buddha don't pay any attention to this problem, which is thought to be a mundane problem, but how is it that a man of such broad vision as Krishna ignores it? It is ironic that religious people don't give a thought to the problem of the poor. Karl Marx, who thought a lot about it, is not a religious person. You are essentially a man of spiritualism and religion we would like to know if you are going to do something about it.
- Question 4
- Does it mean that an elite class will always be there?
- Question 5
- I have again a small question in regard to Sudama. When Sudama came to Krishna, he was given all the wealth of the world as a gift. How is it that Krishna did not think of helping his indigent friend earlier?
- Question 6
- In an earlier question on Draupadi it was said that Krishna had great love for her. Please say something about Krishna's love for Draupadi.
- Question 7
- Krishna is said to have left Mathura and settled in distant Dwarka so that the Western coast could be defended against external aggression it is also said that the people of Mathura believed that Krishna was the cause of their troubles because it is on his account that kings like Jarasandh recurringly waged war on Mathura. It is also believed that Krishna suffered defeat at the hands of king Jarasandh, which shows up his human aspect. Please comment.
- Question 8
- A legend says that Kalayavan believes that Krishna is running away, while in fact Krishna is driving Kalayavan into a cave where Muchkund is asleep. The legend also says that as Muchkund wakes up he looks at Kalayavan and kills him with his look. Please explain the significance of the legend.
