brahman is trascendental to all forms of duality including good and bad. of course the lord is beyond good and bad. also it is actions and their results that are described as good and bad. but the lord is beyond action and inaction. but this does not mean that good and bad dont have relative value. good actions recommended in sastras have the effect of purifying the consciouness and thereby helping us understand sastras and higher truths about god. so protection of dharma is useful. when the lord appears he does cause the death of the good ones. through their death he protects dharma. if bhishmacharya had not dies, kauravas and hence adhrma would have won. not only the death of bhishma but that of the 700 million great souls who fought on the side of pandavas had the opportunity die remembering the lord in devotion. it is the greatest good because they returned to the abode of the lord. suresh iyengar <kp_suresh512@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Dear Bhagavathas Adiyen knows nothing on Shastra Gnanam. As it occured in adiyen's thought process wanted to share with all to get my internal questions clarified. When ever people talk about avatara and its purpose, they quote many slokas and say that is to remove evil and protect good. But many times the evil alone is not removed along with that so call good is removed too. Example in Mahabarata war great learned persons such as Bhishmacharya etc were given death. Same way in any wars between the nations in order to defend their borders many good souls die. So if we consider the good and bad attributed to persons then what is happening should be called "aniyayam". On the other hand I was going through some of the articles on Sri Vaishnavam on other groups. What they described the SV is "Sharira and Sharirik" Bhava. If that is the case any thing and every thing should be part of "him". Weather good or evil and hence there should be no qualification for any act, since it is part of him and why he should punish one part of his "body" and allow another part to perish for his own action? is that called his play his maya? Where from that good or bad comes unless it is part of him? If it is part of him why it is bad? It will be great help if some one can answer these doubts from Gnanasunyam.
