And as a flower pot in the garden of Rama he is very neat and clean, at times more orderly than Rama himself”.In the long chain of spiritual masters, from ancient Indian rishsis, to Buddha, Mahavira and Christ, there comes one Krishna and gives us a completely new perspective on spirituality. Where will you place Hanumana when his lord Rama himself is only a kitchen garden? At best he can be a flower pot nothing more than that. Since you raised the question I have to say something about it. It is not that necessary to evaluate Meera and Hanumana comparatively. Your tradition has made a comparison between Rama and Krishna, but not between Hanumana and Meera. There is a life, grandeur and beauty in the jungle which no garden can have. When you are bored with your garden you think of the jungle, because it is nature’s own creation it is not of your making. I don’t say to you, ”Don’t have a kitchen garden,” what I say is that a garden is a garden and a jungle is a jungle.
Krishna’s life is that gigantic jungle, while Rama’s life is a kitchen garden in the backyard of your house, where everything is in order, where there is nothing to fear. It is full of wild animals like lions and tigers It lacks planning and organization, order it has no roads, no pathways, no sidewalks, not even flowerbeds. While Rama is a small and enclosed garden, Krishna is the vast jungle itself, wild and rugged and chaotic. Lawrence often said he wanted to see man in his wild form, that modern man had turned into a garden and was diseased. But this does not mean that the vast jungle has ceased to be it is there, surrounding the little garden.ĭ.H. Rama has cut out a portion of a vast and wild jungle and turned it into a neat and clean garden by removing unwieldy bushes and shrubs. Krishna’s life is not that neat and clear-cut, it cannot be. To me, it seems that Rama’s life is clear-cut and defined there is nothing hazy about it.
I have nothing to do with them therefore, I can see them exactly as they are, and I will say the truth. But I am a follower of no one I follow neither Rama nor Krishna. In the same way devotees of Krishna are allergic to Rama – and it is natural. It is obvious that followers of Rama do not accept Krishna they don’t even want to hear his name. I don’t know if they have a comparative evaluation of Hanumana and Meera – perhaps not – but they have certainly evaluated Rama and Krishna, judging Krishna to be the highest among all the Hindu avataras, all the Hindu incarnations.
It does not accept Rama as a complete incarnation of God Krishna alone is accepted as such. “It is wrong to say that your tradition does not make a distinction between Rama and Krishna.
