Rebuttal to Vedkabhed Allegations on Lord Krishna

Rebuttal to Vedkabhed Allegation on lord Krishna

Lets start the Rebuttal

Rebuttal 1

Padma Purana 5.74.177b-196A

No such thing is written here that Sulaeman claimed that Shri Krishna had relationship with Arjuna

Padma Purana 5.75.39B-53

If you will read it carefully it clearly says that Goddess Radhika had taken the form of Narada in order to deceive Shri Krishna and his solders . Although the soldiers were deceived by Shri radhika in Narada form . She was recognised by lord krishna and lord krishna spent time with her after he realised her and she again took the form of Radhika . It nowhere says Shri Krishna had sex with Narada

Claim 2 - Shri Krishna married his sisters Bhadra and Mitravinda

So this claim has been refuted

Now coming to the third claim

Claim 3 -

Shri Krishna was addicted to Gambling in Srimad Bhagvatam

Rebuttal -

Srimad Bhagvatam 10.69.19–22

Srimad Bhagvatam 10.56.5

To prove Lord Krishna a gambler, he gave refrence of Srimad Bhagavatam 10.62.28-31, Srimad Bhagavatam 10.66.36, Srimad Bhagavatam 10.56.5, Srimad Bhagavatam 10.69.19-22 etc.

You can read the translation he gave for these scriptures. Everywhere the word game of dice is used there. Even today children and adults play dice game like ludo which is a direct inspiration of chausar but it can't be referred as gambling. I don't know how the author concluded it as gambling.

claim 4 - Shri Krishna was a drunkard and enjoyed wine with his wives as per Mahabharata 5.59.2–5 and Padma Purana

Rebuttal -

Just in case someone thinks Krishna and Arjuna did something sinful, in this episode the Purva Mimamsa Acharya Kumarila Bhatta makes clear that Krishna and Arjuna drank the kind of alcohol allowed for Kshatriyas, not the kind that is forbidden

Claim 5 - Lord Krishna was a pedophile and married Rukmini when she was 8 years old and many pre pubscent girls

Rebuttal - Chandogya Upanishad 7/1/2 mentions Mahabharata and Ramayana as fifth Veda . So they are far more authoritative than Puranas . Here is what Mahabharata Says

Claim 5 - Shri Krishna was a rapist, had numerous concubines like Radha, Kubja etc

Srimad Bhagvatam 10.65.11–12

Let me tell who the Gopis are and whats their relationship with lord Krishna

Rasleela meant simply dancing,singing with the young Gopis . Rasleela never included sexual relationships with the Gopis

Also Rasleela occurred when Shri Krishna was only 7–9 years old and he had not yet reached the age of Puberty

claim 6 - Shri Krishna was a womaniser as he married 16108 woman

Rebuttal -

The Reason for lord Krishna marrying 16108 woman

Srimad Bhagvatam 10.59 1–45

Now an important thing to note that Sri Krishna expanded himself in 16108 forms and simultaneously married all his Brides . He was simultaneously present with all his wives and performed his duties toward all his wives simultaneously . This leela is described in Srimad Bhagvatam 10.69

So even if one cites the example of lord Krishna marrying 16108 woman one has to remember the fact that sri Krishna expanded himself in 16000 forms and simultaneously married all his brides and he was simultaneously present with all his wives always . Its impossible for normal human beings like us to imitate Lord Krishna Leela . SO its prescribed for normal human beings like us to have only 1 wife throughout our life till Death

Claim 7 - Lord Krishna called Woman and Shudra of sinful birth in BG 9.32

Rebuttal -

Bhagavta Geeta Ramanucharya Bhasya

Bhagvata Geeta Madhvacharya Bhasya

One can simply see that women, Vaisyas, Sudras are not regarded as a sinful birth. Indeed those who are of sinful birth is separated from the other three.

claim 8 - Shri Krishna killed an innocent washerman for no reason in S Bhagvatam 10.41.36–37

Why did Shri Krishna kill the washerman ?

there is a genuine reason for killing the washerman. Krishna killed the washerman to stop his blasphemy and then to give Moksha. The washerman talked bad words regarding Rama's relationship with Sita during his previous birth but Rama didn't choose to punish the washerman for that.

he particular story regarding washerman is found in the following passages from Garga Samhita

Shri Bahulashva said: Although my heart has already heard Lord Krishna's sacred pastimes from your mouth, it thirsts to hear them again. Although it has already drunk this nectar, it thirsts to drink it again. I have already heard from you the description of the deeds of Kamsa in his previous birth and the deeds of Keshi and other demons in their previous births. Who was the washerman in his previous birth? Why did Lord Krishna kill him? Why did his spiritual effulgence merge in Lord Krishna's body?
Shri Narada said: O king of Videha, in Treta-yuga, in Lord Rama's kingdom, in Ayodhya, as Lord Rama's spies overheard, this same washerman said to his wife: I will not maintain you, a sinner that returns at dawn from another's house. Ramacandra, who is greedy to enjoy with His wife, may continue to maintain His Sita, but I am not like Him. Hearing from many mouths that the people were criticizing Him, Lord Ramacandra at once exiled Sita to the forest. Lord Ramacandra had no wish to punish him, and in due course this person became a washerman in Mathura at the end of Dvaspara-yuga. To stop his blasphemy, however, Lord Krishna killed him. Then the Lord, who is an ocean of mercy, gave him liberation.

Garga Samhita Canto 5 chapter 10 verses 1–8

Claim 9 - Shri Krishna used t steal the garments of woman to watch their bodies . In short he is accusing on Gopi Vastraharan leela
