Hindu God Krishna Celebrated At Metropolitan Museum

This God is very fond of looking at naked bodies of young milkmaid girls (low caste)
while they bathed. To get a full view of the naked body of these virgin girls he goes to
the extent of hiding their clothes on free tops in order to get a panoramic view of
their bodies. “Can this action be attributed to a God? And that too Lord Krishna? Does
he have divine immunity to look at naked women? Is this in conformity with God’s
image? Now if anyone else does the same thing, can be exempted from any kind of
punishment?

That's the Hindu perverted version of Krishna. Hindus pervert everything as their minds are rotted since they haven't had communion with God for the past 1500 years.

In Buddhism he was a mighty king, one of 10 brothers who conquered all of India and he was reborn as Sariputta in Kaliyuga and became Buddhist.

The real story of Krishna - the warrior.

You are looking at this story in very literal way.

The Gopis were very great Yogis and shame was the one thing that was keeping them from total union with God. When Krishna took there clothes and make them stand naked so he could view there bodies. He took away all shame and then they could join HIM and become ONE in union.

This is a fun story to teach us how to live.

Not really, their is nothing in there saying the Gopis are great yogis. They are just entranced.

Radha and the Gopis NEVER reach communion with Krishna -- NEVER. Not one of them marries him.

In the Krishna Bhakti traditions, the rasa-lila (Krishna dance with the Gopis)is considered to be one of the highest and most esoteric of Krishna's pastimes. In these traditions, romantic love between human beings in the material world is seen as merely a diminished, illusionary reflection of the soul’s original, ecstatic spiritual love for Krishna, God, in the spiritual world.

In the Bhagavata Purana it is stated that whoever faithfully hears or describes the Rasa lila attains Krishna's pure loving devotion

This is what SWAMI VIVEKANANDA said about the Gopis

The Gopis understood Krishna only as the Krishna of Vrindaban. He, the leader of the hosts, the King of kings, to them was the shepherd, and the shepherd for ever. "I do not want wealth, nor many people, nor do I want learning; no, not even do I want to go to heaven. Let one be born again and again, but Lord, grant me this, that I may have love for Thee, and that for love's sake." A great landmark in the history of religion is here, the ideal of love for love's sake, work for work's sake, duty for duty's sake, and it for the first time fell from the lips of the greatest of Incarnations, Krishna, and for the first time in the history of humanity, upon the soil of India. The religions of fear and of temptations were gone for ever, and in spite of the fear of hell and temptation of enjoyment in heaven, came the grandest of ideals, love for love's sake, duty for duty's sake, work for work's sake.

The Padma Purana says they were Rishis in the time of the Lord Rama.

Hinduism is full of contradictions.

In the Hindu story, Krishna pretty much dumps Radha and the Gopis upon becoming king and later only marries princesses -- no more cow girls for Krishna after gaining his kingship.

In the Buddhist story -- there is no romance, Krishna conquers all of India and is a mighty king -- as a king should be.

Funny I just argued with my Dad about this issue. I think there are some major difference between Christ and Krishna that most Hindu's will not acknowledge for the sake of embracing ignorance.
Christ does not need you to be naked in front of him or any one else to achieve forgiveness of sins. Krishna however does not say anthing about forgiveness of sins, rather he requires the GOPIS to come naked so that they can have their clothes back after his lustful eyes have seen all. In fact he prevents them from even covering their private parts by using there hands saying this is not acceptable if you want your clothes back. I beg all hindues to realize true forgiveness of sins can only be given by one who is sinless based on the laws he makes. Krishna makes plenty of laws and breaks them for the sake of a deeper meaning which is open to all interpration except the truth. How long will you be decieved by sinful Gods? Realize that LOVE FAITH TRUTH can only be defined by Christianity. LOVE=Christ Faith = Holy Spirit = Truth = GOD , GOD's word in the bible.

The GOD of the bible is just and has everyright to kill all of us because we have broken his laws and continue to do so. Only if we dispise sin and turn away and repent can our sins be forgiven. Even if a person accepts Christs, but enjoys sin is not saved at all. In fact a person must hate sin so much and rely on Christ to change his sinfull heart alone to acheive the purity he seeks. AMEN!!!!!!!!!!

If I might give you a few hints on Evangelism. In
Acts 17:16-34 When Paul went to Mars hill to talk to the Greeks he know what they believed. He talked to them were they are. Here is just a few of the problems you have talking to Hindu's.

We Hindus do not believe in the concept of original Sin.

Martin Luther said that "man is a dung heap covered in snow". All Men have a tendency toward sin because of the fall of Adam and Eve.

To make a long story short. We dont believe the Middle Eastern Bronze Age myth of Adam and Eve.

So why talk to us about forgiveness of sin. If we dont believe in sin.

Tinu Jatin Patel wrote:

You say we believe in Gods I am a Monist I dont believe in a bunch of Gods.

Tinu Jatin Patel wrote:

You make it sound as if God hates people. This is not biblical Christianty.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16 (NIV)

I hope this will help.
