: More importantly, there are two verses from the Bhagavad Gita which a
: lot of Hindus seem to ignore - 9.23 and 9.24. I'll let everyone find
: those in their favorite translations rather than post them here. The
: Gaudiyas take those verses to say that Krishna is saying that He alone
: is Supreme.
My translation of the Gita is unfortunately not broken into conventional
chapters and versus; I've been looking one which does, but doesn't contain
too much commentary. Reguardless of that, in the Gita it is clear the
Krishna says, that he's the big cheese. Whether that means Krishna,
Maha-Vishnu, Brahma, or anyone else is up to endless debate. I do not
choose to worship Krishna, does that make me wrong, some would say so. I
instead prefer to persue divinity through meditation instead of through
Krishna. I respect Krishna as an avatar, but don't worship him.
Bests,
Jay
