I've always been impressed by your intelligence and wisdom and my belief that your experience of India is a more well-rounded one than of those who only worship Krishna and only go to Vrindavan when they go to India.
As for myself, I believe that my personal view is just as legitimate as anyone else's
Authority figures would disagree and try to convince me that I must blindly believe them, period, because I am not 'qualified' to come to my own conclusions about matters of the Spirit. I disagree!
I worship no one and/or no thing and this gives me the freedom to pick and choose whatever inspires me in my personal belief system. I have found that people who worship do not have such freedom. They are usually required to blindly accept the doctrine of some authority figure. I am not like them.
So, I give everyone the freedom to believe as they like; without condemnation...unless their beliefs interfere with my personal happiness
I enjoy giving people the freedom to believe as they like. Many religions will not afford me the same respect. Well, they can no longer intimidate me with their popes, or cardinals, or pastors, or priests, or gurus. I believe what inspires me and it inspires me to give people the freedom to believe as they like!
Personally, I feel the concept of Vishnu dreaming all reality into being is indeed the most correct view of reality and is in harmony with what quantum physicists are currently discovering; that the "Higgs Field" is in actuality a mind that encompasses the entire Universe.
