Rama is the most venerated god in Hinduism.
Ideal Son, Brother, King, Friend, Master, Enemy Refuge.
Often I am asked by people, if Lord Ram was the incarnation of Lord Vishnu and the repository of good qualities why did He suffer?
Take Krishna, he did not suffer and He,it appears, to have enjoyed Life to the Hilt.
Yet people are wary of Children born in the Nakshatra Rohini, while people prefer a child in the Punarvasu(Rama’s Nakshatra).
Why?
Rama was the personification of Ideal, he was wedded to Hi Ideals.
Rama had the feeling of ‘I’.
I am Dasaratha’s son,
Brother of Lakshmana, Bharata and Shatrugna.
Husband of Janaki,
Friend of Guha,
Enemy of Ravana,
Refuge of Hanuman, Vibhishana.
He was struck with grief when he her the news of the death of Dasarata,
He was desolate when Sita was abducted .
Krishna,
Though a king, was raised among cowherd,
He never became a King, was only a prince( because of curse and Balarama was the King).
It did not matter Him who won the Mahabharata War, He was not going to get an inch of land,
He loved and married, but never was mentally fettered,
He was quite fond of Abhimanyu, His nephew and son of Arjuna,
Yet when Abhimanyu was killed, He showed no emotion, ensured that Arjuna did not commit suicide,
Karna and Aswatham abused Him in the War front,
He never lost His cool,
Kandhari cursed Krishna that He would have no Dynasty and His sons will be killed,
He took it with a smiling face,
The Rishis cursed his son Sambhava to bear a baby , his progeny will be a Thistle and his Faily line would end with him,
Krishna prostrated before them.
Krishna never had the feeling of I’,
He never let His emotions and actions to touch Him.
While Rama was idealistic Krishna was Practical.
For Rama Life was a struggle,
Krishna ‘A Play’
This is the difference between Rama and Krishna.
* These are my views.
I worship both, I respect Rama, I adore and Love Krishna.
