Why aren't more black people interested in Eastern Religions?

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Science is only half the story then?

Nope.

Science is science.

Everything else is arbitrary.

Its not a part of a picture.

It is its own picture.

Science will tell you how the universe works. How you want to organize your society or answer moral questions is up to you.

It can be translated multiple ways but yet he's depicted as being black?










There's one correction




There's another. All this started because that false claim. Dark skin being evil but they have Gods with dark skin?




The word Krishna meaning Sanskrit is my opinion?
Black depictions of Krishna are my opinion?
Krishna being worshiped while being depicted as black is my opinion?

Spoiler: Murti

I've already shown you my proof and from the onset of this argument I stated that Krishna is depicted as both black and blue.

He's more widely depicted as blue. Scholars describe him as blue. Hindu holy books describe him as blue… all facts. I've shown you quotes. Krishna can also mean dark, it can also translate as attractive, so you continuously saying that means nothing.

Find me a quote from a holy book or scholar calling him black. Or else we'll keep going in circles because you, like live called out others for, have no solid proof.

You're going by the translation of a name but Krishna is known by various names, so…

I'm gonna go get blazed. We'll have to pick this up another time.

This was fun, you're a smart dude

You tell me. You thought it was necessary to be a "daoist" instead of just "living your life"

I really gotta get you to understand that accepting the term means you commit to something you think holds some sort of external legitimacy.

I am just living my life. You don't understand Daoism.

Yet you adopted it.

So what are you adopting if its not supernatural mumbo jumbo?

I don't explain myself to the ignorant. Do your own research. I'm going to meditate.

I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who plays on His transcendental flute. His eyes are like lotus flowers, He is decorated with peacock plumes, and His bodily color resembles a fresh black cloud although His bodily features are more beautiful than millions of cupids."

“The Lord was dressed in yellow garments and had a blackish complexion.”

Same website I quoted from earlier that describes him as blue:

SB 3.28.13
prasanna-vadanāmbhojaṁ
 padma-garbhāruṇekṣaṇam
nīlotpala-dala-śyāmaṁ
 śaṅkha-cakra-gadā-dharam

The Supreme Personality of Godhead has a cheerful, lotuslike countenance with ruddy eyes like the interior of a lotus, and a swarthy body like the petals of a blue lotus. He bears a conch, discus and mace in three of His hands.

Who's writing that?

It's the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam AKA the Bhagavata Purana written by Veda Vyasa, a Hindu sage.

Krishna and Vishnu are one the same..Govinda is one of his thousand names

Govindah -The word Go in Sanskrit has four meanings: ‘Earth’, ‘Cows’, ‘Speech’ and ‘Vedas’. As the earth is the supporter of everything that is existing, He, who is the supporter of everything within the individual, is called Govinda; He, who is the Protector of the Cow’s and played the part of Gopaala in Gokula, is the very controller of the animal instincts and passions in the bosom of man; “One, without whom, no speech can ever emerge out of any throat-He being the very Life in all Creatures” says Kenopanishad; and the Highest Speech is the declaration of Truth in the Vedas. The Lord Himself is the very Theme and the Author of the Vedas. This great Self is Mahavishnu.

539. Govindah -One who is to be known (Vid) through the declarations of the Vedanta (Go). In Vishnu Tilaka we read:

Here, “Gobhih” means the statements and declarations of the Upanishads.

Govinda is Vishnu which is a spirit embodied in several other gods. Krishna is only one of them, Rama is another and Buddha another. They aren't the same. They're all extensions of Vishnu.

@Turk3

You're really confused. Avatars aren't different Gods they're the same God but in different forms; it's the same deity.

"Krishna, who is known as Govinda, is the Supreme Godhead. He has an eternal blissful spiritual body. He is the origin of all. He has no other origin, and He is the prime cause of all causes."

http://vedabase.net/bs/5/1/en

"I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who by His various plenary portions appears in the world in different forms and incarnations such as Lord Rama, but who personally appears in His supreme original form as Lord Krishna."

http://gitabase.com/eng/CC/1/5/155

CC Ādi 2.113: Some say that Śrī Kṛṣṇa is directly Nara-Nārāyaṇa. Others say that He is directly Vāmana.

CC Ādi 2.114: Some say that Kṛṣṇa is the incarnation of Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu. None of these statements is impossible; each is as correct as the others.

CC Ādi 2.115: Some call Him Hari, or the Nārāyaṇa of the transcendental world. Everything is possible in Kṛṣṇa, for He is the primeval Lord.

Doesn't really change my argument as I've said from the beginning...Krishna is Black and Blue
