Namaste everyone.
I am not sure if this is in the right section..if it is not the great moderators will move it to the right one!

Anyhow..My partner and I were talking about mysteries of the world, and we began to talk about Krishna. I am sure you are all familiar with him somewhat.

It is believed he lived on an Island outside of modern day Gujurat. Called Dwarka. Dwarka is surrounded in mystery itself..did it exist? Did it not exist? Is it all religious propaganda? Myth? Truth? Etc.

A temple from Dwarka is said to still exist, only on the main land of Gujurat. This temple is closed to the public and only one priest enters two times a day.

In the morning he brings a basket of fresh clothing items and food. He leaves and locks the doors behind him.
In the evening he returns to fetch the basket he left..clothing worn and food eaten. He does this everyday.

There is a myth that Krishna still exists in this temple..

If ANYONE knows ANYTHING about this..PLEASE let me know!
You can email me at : NirmalaMaya@aol.com
IM me on AIM at: BetiKaKalika

Thanks

If He's there then He really has to get out of that temple and do His job. It looks like Shiva is the only God that is working right now.

Thanks for the link, Still.
That link makes me think that perhaps some of Krishnas descendants live inside of the temple..and they are trying to preserve the bloodline, heheheheh.

I am an avid devotee of Shiva.
It seems that with the term "destruction" comes negative thought. All forces (Gods) are doing their job. But only a few hear them. We all know that at times our mother or father, or perhaps boss at work lecture us..but that doesnt mean we listen and take heed to the things they are saying    

It was predicted that in this age (Kaliyug) ignorance would reign over knowledge. It was also predicted that this ignorant age will last a VERY VERY long time.
Blah.

In Bhagavad-gita, Lord Krishna promises: "Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion--at that time I descend Myself. To deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I Myself appear milleniumm after millenium."

Although eternal the Lord appears in specific circumstances out of mercy for His devotees. In fact, His principal biography, the Srimad Bhagavatam states, "the learned men describe the births and activities of the Unborn and Inactive." Therefore, although He appears within the material dimensions of time and space, He is most definitely not of it.

does that answer your question?

Hehehe.. off course Shiva is not the "bad guy" like Satan... I was joking

[PrettyAndCorrupt]

Most definatly, Buddy.
I do not know alot about the Vaisnava side of Hinduism. I believe in the Kaula Dharma we focus our attention on Shiva Shakti.

I just thought the mystery behind Krishna is interesting. The same with Rama and "Adams Bridge."

I do!

Regards to krishna living in the temple..i wont be suprised if he does, considering how bad the situation is outside..hell i would too
Seroiusly though, thats just  a rumour...most priests here are corrupt and rich beyond belief. The temple of Balaji which is situated in southern India, is currently the richest relegious entity in the world..even more than the Vatican. It had collected over 10 million dollars just through temple offerings by devotee's last year.

Comming back to the subject...the remains of an ancient civilization(estimated to be older than 1000 years) has been found near dwarka in the arabian sea, there have been talks about building a glass bubble or something by which people can see it...however, it would take years for that too materalize.

Funny but if anyone has read the mahabharta or the vedas..they talk about the warriors using weapons which exactly resemble the A-bomb, missiles and flying objects...and these scriptures are over 2000 years old.

A few quotes -

"One time while King Citaketu was traveling in outer space on a brilliantly effulgent airplane given to him by Lord Vishnu, he saw Lord Siva..." "The arrows released by Lord Siva appeared like fiery beams emanating from the sun globe and covered the three residential airplanes, which could then no longer be seen."
Srimad Bhagavatam, Sixth Canto, Part 3


"His Saubha clung to the sky at a league's length...He threw at me rockets, missiles, spears, spikes, battle-axes, three-bladed javelins, flame-throwers, without pausing....The sky...seemed to hold a hundred suns, a hundred moons...and a hundred myriad stars. Neither day nor night could be made out, or the points of compass."
     - The Mahabharata

"Gurkha, flying in his swift and powerful Vimana, hurled against the three cities of the Vrishnis and Andhakas a single projectile charged with all the power of the Universe. An incandescent column of smoke and flame as bright as the thousand suns rose in all its splendour...An iron thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death, which reduced to ashes the entire race of the Vrishnis and the Andhakas....The corpses were so burned as to be unrecognizable. The hair and nails fell out; pottery broke without apparent cause, and the birds turned white....After a few hours all foodstuffs were infected.... To escape from this fire, the soldiers threw themselves in streams to wash themselves and their equipment..."
     - The Mahabharata      

Sounds a lot like an atomic bomb to me.  

"Cuka, flying on board a high-powered vimana, hurled on to the triple city a single projectile charged with all the power of the universe. An incandescent column of smoke and flame, as bright as ten thousand suns, rose in all the splendor... When the vimana returned to Earth, it looked like a splendid block of antimony resting on the ground."

I have never been too interested in Krsna and the Mahabharat..I am a very devout Shakta Saivite *bwahaha* And Krsna has never appealed to me. ::shrugs. Although I did find the legend to be interesting.

My partner also told me of a forever burning jyoti at the Siva temple in Katmandu. Weird.
