Krishna is not a natural element. He is the Lord, Narayana manifested. He was never born. He only appeared. Worshipping natural elements is like worshiping a jewel or some object that is not the Lord. Ever read the story of The Syamantaka Jewel?It says that those who worship natural elements, they sink to darkness.
Krishna is what?
Ignorance?Your arguments are based on ignorance.
An idol for Lord Vishnu, Krishna and Rama and their devotees fosters devotion. Bhakti. Glorious Bhakti! I know how different this is to you, but these form are worshiped for Love. Feeding Lord Krishna curd is a pastime any devotee will want to do. The images of the Lord are non-different to the Lord himself when a special ritual is performed. I have not seen it myself.Okay, Brahman.
It prohibits Idols, yet people create them.
Same way they create these forms for gods.
Where does it say that it prohibits idols and images? In the Quran?Ignorance?
You twist your own scripture, when it itself prohibits idols and images.
That ignorance is on your part.
It does not matter.An idol for Lord Vishnu, Krishna and Rama and their devotees fosters devotion. Bhakti. Glorious Bhakti! I know how different this is to you, but these form are worshiped for Love. Feeding Lord Krishna curd is a pastime any devotee will want to do. The images of the Lord are non-different to the Lord himself when a special ritual is performed. I have not seen it myself.
#1- No image of him simply means that he has no material form. Actually check the real translations done by real Sanskrit scholars.
"na tasya pratima asti
"There is no image of Him."
[Yajurveda 32:3]5- "shudhama poapvidham"
"He is bodyless and pure."
[Yajurveda 40:8]6- "Andhatama pravishanti ye asambhuti mupaste"
"They enter darkness, those who worship the natural elements" (Air, Water, Fire, etc.). "They sink deeper in darkness, those who worship sambhuti."
[Yajurveda 40:9]7
Sambhuti means created things, for example table, chair, idol, etc.- The Yajurveda contains the following prayer:
"Lead us to the good path and remove the sin that makes us stray and wander."
[Yajurveda 40:16]8 See brother
Brother in your own scriptures, haha.Where does it say that it prohibits idols and images? In the Quran?
So, now you talk about scholars?#1- No image of him simply means that he has no material form. Actually check the real translations done by real Sanskrit scholars.
#2- Pure is an obvious epithet of Brahman, and bodyless simply means that he does not have a material body like us. His body is made up of pure sattva (knowledge).
#3- Why don't you read the next couple of verses after this one?
#4- Nothing contradictory here.
Are you really convinced this refers to banning of images of the Lord? It does not say it prohibits images. It says there are no images of the Lord. He is formless.Brother in your own scriptures, haha.

Brother did you read it all? It says worship idols and images too.Are you really convinced this refers to banning of images of the Lord? It does not say it prohibits images. It says there are no images of the Lord. He is formless.
You certainly do not if you are disobeying and believing in another god your own scripture.Our scriptures have no contradiction. We believe what it says. No twisting here. Dear Lord no.
Because there are. Lord Krishna is a form. Lord Rama is a form. Lord Vishnu is a form. A flower is a form of the lord. A soothing pond is the form of the Lord. Happiness, joy, love.Brother did you read it all? It says worship idols and images too.
I think not, it says there is no images either way, so why would you create an image when God says there is none?
Did he allow you to?
What is their debate?You certainly do not if you are disobeying and believing in another god your own scripture.
I think you should have said Dear Lords, hehe.
You should see the debate between Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Zakir Naik.
Shankar gets exposed.
Concept of God in Hinduism and Islam in the Light of Sacred Scriptures.What is their debate?
Do tell. How does get get 'exposed'? My words can only speak for Vaishnavas.Concept of God in Hinduism and Islam.
He provides no arguments but basically makes excuses.Do tell. How does get get 'exposed'? My words can only speak for Vaishnavas.
Please don't be so callous. What does he say?He provides no arguments but basically makes excuses.
Hahaha, your words only speak for Vaishnavas?
