@lain@lain.com@mischievoustomato@tsundere.love the linkedin version captured something about the meaning that the literal translation didn't, which is that a butcher of animals is meant to also mean someone who kills themselves/the Self ie someone who acts against their own interests and "kills" the divinity within them

you aren't ready for this but God doesn't have a permanent consort because He has no equal. He/She consorts sometimes in His/Her descents, yes. but saying God has a consort like Shiva-Shakti dualism is only useful to describe Energy-Consciousness. but there is no difference between Shakti and Shaktimam! the potency of God is inherent in God, God is One.

also, the end of the ras panchadhyayi (most important lila of the srimad bhagavatam, the source of this book) says that reading it counters the disease of lust in the heart. God doesn't lust. He is moved by His own bliss more than anything, and is also incredibly moved by all things sentient beings experience, but this isn't lust.

this guy is treating God like a straight man. jivanmuktas don't have "sex feelings", and have no need for sex because they have no infatuation or attachment and dwell in infinite bliss. God is the greatest yogi, so of course He/She doesn't have "sex feelings" either. when God engages in romance and sex as an avatara, it is to teach about union with God. what the fuck is this sampradaya teaching???

literally dogmatic nonsense. Vishnu is Krishna and Krishna is Vishnu, the chatur-vyuha is a relic, and even the dashavatara are not the sole exclusive avataras of the Lord. to me all beings are Gods amsas/kalas, especially the devas who are both manifestations of God and inferior to Him, and yet all beings are also mysteriously God in full. it pains me that people make a science of Gods very being so. there is simply no discreteness within God! all you need to know is that whenever justice declines and unrighteousness prevails, God manifests on this Earth.

overlooked that the author of the book is a gaudiya, because i like a lot about gaudiyas, but he's a madhva follower too?? unacceptable, sorry.

on the bhagas, i HATE when aishvarya is interpreted/translated as superlative wealth instead of superlative lordship/majesty. while being the possessor of all the worlds wealth is a quality of God, avataras are often poor or otherwise ascetic. God doesn't covet wealth or flaunt His wealth.
