Insulting Hindu religious belief by a reference to Radha-Krishna
An open letter to all citizens of Bharat,
Appended is a report on the Supreme Court’s decision on pre-marital sex.
We take exception to the obiter dicta of the Court reported in the media. “Drawing an analogy from the Hindu mythology, the court said, even Lord Krishna and Radha lived together.”
It is shocking that such a statement should have reportedly been made by the learned judge(s). It is shocking because it shows a gross ignorance about Hindu traditions and Hindu history.
First of all, the reality of Krishna is established by the Itihaasa Mahabharata text and the astronomical reference contained in the text. Hence, Krishna is NOT mythology.
It is absurd to refer to the episode of Radha-Krishna in the context of a case related to pre-marital sex. Sri Krishna, Bala Krishna was only 10 years of age when he left Brindavan for the Gurukulam in Sandeepani Ashram. The episode of Radha-Krishna occurred when Sri Bala Krishna was a child 10 years of age.
Bhagavata Purana, does NOT refer to Radha by name but is alluded to within the tenth chapter of the text as one of the gopis whom Krishna plays with during his upbringing as a young boy. Krishna left Vrindavan for Mathura at the age of 10 years and 7 months according to Bhagavata Purana . So Radha is assumed to be a child of about 10 years or less, when Krishna left Vrindavan. http://www.vedabase .net/sb/10/ 45/3/en
I suggest that Bhagavata Purana together with the works of Savant Nimbarka, a vaishnava acharya, should be made essential reading for all constitutional functionaries.
After his education in Sandeepani Ashram, Shri Krishna never returned to Brindavan. He went to Mathura.
What is wrong with our educational system that even learned judges should refer to a seven-year old Shri Krishna and his being a darling of humanity and who enthralled Radha and other Gopikas has NOTHING to do with pre-marital sex since he was in Brindavan only until he was seven years of age.
Is a mother’s affection to a child considered pre-marital sex? Is the adoration by elders of an avatara considered pre-marital sex?
Maybe, there should be a law requiring minimum education in Hindu history and cultural traditions of avatara purusha like Shri Rama and Shri Krishna to all constitutional functionaries.
In this context, it is apposite to recall the words of Justice ASP Iyer who was Justice of Madras High Court. Justice A.S.P Iyer I.C.S (1899-1963) in his book, ‘Sri Krishna – The Darling of Humanity’, says: “Alexander the Great once asked a Brahmin scholar in the 4th century BC. “How can we know a man to be God?” and the scholar replied “When he does what no man can ever do.” To illustrate this divine point, I would refer to how Krishna saved the chastity, dignity and honour of Draupadi at the Royal Court of Hastinapura.
Does a seven year old darling of Brindavan become an example of pre-marital sex in jurisprudence?
Something is amiss here. I hope there will be an apology to all Hindus whose sentiments have been deeply hurt (cf. Section 295A of IPC) by the unwarranted reference to Radha-Krishna as an analogy of pre-marital sexual relationship.
Dhanyavaadah.

Live-in, pre-marital sex no offence: SC
24 Mar 2010, 0541 hrs IST, ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: There is good news for the votaries of the live-in partners. The Supreme Court on Tuesday observed that the live-in relationships between the adult couples cannot be treated as an offence.
“When two adult people want to live together what is the offence. Does it amount to an offence? Living together is not an offence. It cannot be an offence,” said a bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan, Justice Deepak Verma and Justice B S Chauhan.
Drawing an analogy from the Hindu mythology, the court said, even Lord Krishna and Radha lived together.
The apex court said there was no law which prohibits live-in relationship or pre-marital sex.
The bench passed the observation while reserving its judgement on a special leave petition filed by noted south Indian actress Khushboo. She had approached the apex court seeking quashing of about 22 criminal cases filed against her after she allegedly endorsed pre-marital sex in interviews to various magazines in 2005.
While hearing the case, the judges grilled the counsel for some of the complainants in the case and repeatedly stressed that the perceived immoral activities cannot be branded as offence.
The argument of the counsel was that her comments allegedly endorsing pre-marital sex would adversely affect the minds of young people leading to decay in moral values and ethos of the country.
“Please tell us what is the offence and under which section. Living together is a right to life,” remarked the court. apparently referring to Article 21 of the Constitution relating to right to life and liberty. The apex court further said the views expressed by Khushboo were personal.
“How does it concern you. We are not bothered. At the most it is a personal view. How is it an offence? Under which provision of the law?” the bench asked the counsel.
The apex court further asked the complainants to produce evidence to show if any girls eloped from their homes after the said interview.
“How many homes have been affected can you tell us,” court asked while enquiring whether the complainants had daughters. When the response was in the negative, they shot back, “Then, how are you adversely affected”?
Khushboo had approached the apex court after the Madrash High Court in 2008 dismissed her plea for quashing the criminal cases filed against her through out Tamil Nadu.

Hi,
Please refine your knowledge with truth. Shri Krishna married only one woman, Rukmani. An Arya man (true Follower of Vedas), can not marry more then one woman (Although, some exceptions of it are in Vedas but these are fully logical. For detailed information, please explore Vedas).
To know the truth about Shri Krishna, Please follow the link:
http://www.satyavidya.org/component/content/article/50-awakening-of-nation/159-lord-krishna-an-enlightening-personality
Shri Krishna is considered as Avatar. Avatar, as a material, is a human body used by God to publish some of his unlimited powers to re-establish truthful knowledge among the human beings. Avatar is supposed to teach humans the ideal way of leaving and hence, is worth of much respect. Avatar is a physical expression of Almighty, One, and unseen God.
And even after this explanation, if someone is considering Avatar as a born of God Himself in a body like an ordinary man, then one needs deep meditation before understanding almighty Gods’ power . Don’t say to me that the greatest creator God is not able to create an Avatar body to reveal his powers and he can only insert a soul in a human body. (If you don’t know the difference between God and souls, please read Gita in the light of Vedas.)
One Obvious Question: If Vedas are considered as the source of true knowledge why don’t they tell about Avatars (Like Shri ram and Shri Krishna) directly?
Answer:
1. Vedas are very first books which are reveled for human being before any Avatar.
2. These books are supposed to provide true knowledge about Almighty God and the way to get His all blessings only.
3. Future can be predicted but can not be confirmed as it depends on your Karmas. If God had written the information about Avtars in Vedas, it would be against His philosophy about future.
All information about Shri Krishna (or any Other Avatar) which are against Vedas must be rejected forcefully.
Vedas are the basics of our religious and social values. Every statement from our Religious books must be justified from Vedas values. If it is contradictory to Vedas then it must be rejected. We all know, Indian religious books had been modified at many places by many anti-Hindus and many idiot illiterate pundits even. And, that false knowledge had been circulated since middle age (or may be before of that, if someone has some research on this, please share with me. Thanks in advance!!!). I don’t oppose any book completely, but I reject every statement in any book which is against Vedas. Even we know, in Vedas also, a few statements had added. Many thanks to Scholar Dayanand Saraswati, who found them and rejected on the basis of Sanskrit grammar and logical grounds (Please read his literatures for those logics) .At least, it is a common sense if some sentence is opposite to other sentences which already have been proven logically then that sentence must be wrong. (FYI. I am not his blind follower. Again, Vedas don’t allow following any one blindly!!!).
As per Mahabharata, as we know, there is nothing about Radha. And if Radha had been at that time and she had had one sided love with Shri Krishna and had accepted Him as Her Husband by heart (the same way as Savitri accepted Satyavan as her Husband just after having conversations with him) what’s wrong if she remained unmarried whole life with this strong believe that she can’t accept any other man as she already considered Herself for Shri Krishna. This only gives us the proof of Her pure feelings and thus must be highly respectable among all human kinds. Avatars are such ideal personally, anyone with pure heart will affectionate with them, so someone, how lived with them… how could be they be an exception!!!
I agree – if Hindus knew more about their own scriptures and history, such a terrible judgement would not have to be made by the SC !!

Dear arisebharat,
Pls understand de other side of the conversation…. U r quoting bhagwat geeta… Which was written by a krishna fan for krishna…. A perfect marketing tool… Not just geeta, also de bible and de quran…. Has been written by some human right? Toh ek insaan ke perception ko aap sab bhagwaan ke words kaise maan sakte ho? Aaj ki date mein kyun nahin hote hain bhagwaan n all? USs waqt ki janta illiterate thhi… You guys r educated right? For me, krishnaji was never a god… But a visionary… A great man who was practical and I love to read geeta because it teaches us to be practical… I hv read a zenith other books on history too… So am coming from a vast ocean of research…. Good n bad both… My grandmother is phd history…. Half knowledge is extremely dangerous…. And dats all I can say….Rest is upto u guys…. Call me lowly or whatever…. Wish u guys shake out of dis illiterate mob mentality soon… Cause de world has gone far beyond dis…. All de best
Namaste Priyaa Arya,
Firstly, you claim that you have read a vast deal on history and to have reached the “zenith” which is a big thing. Many of the great scholars who I know still do not claim that they know even a drop of our great history, while you claim to have reached the zenith.
Secondly, I am not quoting the Bhagvad Gita. For a scholar that you claim to be, you must know that the Bhagvad Gita is not the life of Sri Krishna. The Life of Sri Krishna is recorded in the Srimad Bhagvad. The Bhagvad Gita is His gyan that he provides to Arjuna.
I am happy to note that you believe that Sri Krishna was a visionary and a great man. You must be reading some source material for it which means that it must have been written by somebody. The first recorded life of Sri Krishna is by Maharshi Krishna Dvaipayana also known as Veda Vyasa. If there is the “other view”, it has to be based on some source material NOT just by what you feel.
The rest of what you say about your grandmother being phD has no relevance to the discussion here. You are right when you say that “Half knowledge is dangerous” and it is even more dangerous to form opinions without going to the source material first.
Finally, you have addressed the mail to me, but are quoting what someone else has said about you in the comments section. I have not used words like “lowly etc”..It would be good for you to respond to whoever has made personal comments not to me.
If you notice my post and my response, on no occasion have I made any personal comments on anyone. It would be good if you refrain from making comments like mob mentality.
You claim to be interested in research, it would be good if you go to the source material of our Itihaasa in their original form. It would do you a world of good.
Swasti.
You claim that you know a wast literature. And call the vedic literature as primitive and puny. Why should I take your view. why not some scientist, more known and educated than you. Super intelligent scientist. Albert Einstein on Bhagavad-Gita “When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous.”
Oppenheimer Nuclear scientist quates for Baghavad-Gita
“I am the mighty world destroying ‘Time’ – engaged here in
annihilating all beings. Even without you, not one of all
the warriors arrayed in these rival armies shall survive”
The interpretation is that every thing in creation is subject
to cycles of creation, sustenance and annihilation through Time.
Only Almighty is beyond the influence of Time – He is eternal.
The Upanishads, whose essence the Bhagavad Gita incorporates,
say that Almighty created the entity Time and gave it all the
powers of creation, sustenance and annihilation. No created
being can control Time. Only Almighty, the creator of Time,
can control Time if necessary. In the verse, “I am the Time”
means “I am the creator of Time”.
What Mr. Oppenheimer said was symbolic in nature. The rest of the
world thinks that humans are doomed anyway no matter what they do.
The Upanishads provide methods to go beyond it.
FIRST KNOW COMPIETELY ABOUT MY LORD KRISHNA AND THEN SPEAK
u want to know about indian culture??? real indian culture was an open culture…. which is evident from our mythologies….. the so called culture that we so claim to be ours is the culture that came into existence post the muslim invasions….. the sharma sharmi and the purdah system….. pls go and study your history with an open mind, without binding yourself in the images of this god and that….. understand your real roots….. am shocked to see that such shallow and stupid and iliterate thinking still preevails?????? i thought we had grown above this….. am saddened to see this today…. the judge was somewhere not wrong…. he has read our history with more open mind than the most of you here who dont want to grow beyong the iliterate attitude of this god and that….. be it krishna or rama… they were humans whom we, the so called hindus of the world have made gods…. there is only one divine power…. mother nature….. universal power…. no one and nothing else matters….. ye sab cheezon se upar kab utthoge aap sab?
Priyaa Arya,
Apparently you have not read the Srimad Bhagvat. We are not discussing what “real Indian culture” was according to you. The issue is very specific to what the judge commented on Radha- Krishna which has no written evidence anywhere. Our epics have recorded a number of incidents which may not be practised in today’s society. In fact marriage itself has been recorded as 8 forms in Hindu epics, so it is not that our ancestors shied away from recording anything. But, the question here is when the judge talks about something loosely referring to today’s context and extrapolating it to Sri Krishna. Krishna was just 7 years old when he left Gokul as per the Srimad Bhagvad never to return again. So your statement ” the judge was somewhere not wrong…. he has read our history with more open mind ” is flawed. It shows a self-flagellating attitude which accepts any comment on our culture as true without bothering to check what the Principal text has to say about it. In fact the Judge’s statement shows that he knows nothing about Sri Krishna and he is only exercising his influence by using his position to propagate a falsehood.
Mother Nature is a vedic concept too. So don’t use harsh words to make a concept of vedas to trash another concept of vedas. do one thing, research some Islamic life style and quran, may be you will get what you want. Purdah and 4 wives, sex slavery, Burkha.Vedic studies are used by the scientific community to make them realize that the God was not against science and is very well connect for the science. Don’t be so ignorant, get a hint at Hinduwisdom . com.
none of you were even living during that time!!!!!! so how the hell are you so sure that there was sex envolved or no???? why are you guys still behaving like illiterates???? pls grow up…. religion is not made by god… but by us…. god made us alike… we divided ourself…. stop dwelling on history and make your future bright….. mere krishna, meri radha, mere allah, mere jesus…. what???? i pity you guys man!
Priyaa Arya
You statement “None of you were even living at that time” has no meaning…
One does not need to live to at that period to understand history. One understands history by going through various texts and biographies. The life of Sri Krishna is written in the Srimad Bhagvat. As per it, Sri Krishna was just 7 years old when he left Gokul as per the Srimad Bhagvad never to return again. So, it seems that by making coming comments as illiterates, you are just exposing yourself. In fact in our country, the illiterates have a far greater understanding of our epics than the so-called literates who view everything only from the “Western glasses”. The west has no history to be proud of , whereas we have. Therefore Swami Vivekandanda says, ” “This is the ancient land, where wisdom made its home before it went into any other country… Here is the same India whose soil has been trodden by the feet of the greatest sages that ever lived… Look back, therefore, as far as you can, drink deep of the eternal fountains that are behind, and after that look forward, march forward, and make India brighter, greater, much higher, than she ever was.”
And Rabindranath Tagore said, “If you want to understand India, read Swami Vivekandanda”. Let us not use our half baked knowledge to make comments on our great heroes.
Religion is made by people to divide and conquer the lands and get the wealth in the name of God. The religions like Islam and Christianity has done so in the past. There are very huge evidences. Religion is made to bind the people but not Sanatana Dharma. Sanatana Dharma says Moksha and liberation. Each person should self realize there own path towards God not by converting but by Karma, Yoga, Dhyana, Puja, Daan, etc. Dharma is for liberation not to bind people in culture. Culture is a part of religion or path to connect to your ancestors.
Dear priya ,
rise above the feeling of sex , lust and fear .
Lord Krishna is termed as triloki nath or the owner of the three world , namely heaven earth and hell.
Findings of ram steu in palk strait , diging up of indus valley civilization in pakistan where stone were found to be in christined glass form ,indicate something near to war where heat and pressure created was so high that nothing could have turned stone except explosions to the tune of nuclear bomb (i.e. brahmatra)
If u want to know about hinduism then have u ever heard the name of saint Agustiya ?? he has written about every human being whpo is going to take birth on planet earth ,about everyone’ janma (don’t believe me go and search for Naadi Atrology)
And still don’t wanna believe me OK , no probs , but u cannot ignore Law Of Karma !!
So called prophet muhammad of islam married a 6yr old girl, had sex with her when she was 9yr old,(paedophile)
He used to get 1/5th of war booty , he married his daughter in law,what kind of religion do u call this???
Think logically !! slavery is legal in islam ,having sex with captured woman in war is halal (means legal ) in islam.
contract marriages for 1 day ,2 or 10 day is legal in islam (misyar and muttah ) It is nothing but legalized form of prostitution.
Do u know by the way that it is written in so called holy quran that if a man wants sex with his wife the lady cannot ignore it .” A wife is tilth for his man ” -Holy Quran.
Still don’t believe me go and search for it.
Ya and the best part ,all muslim men if they go to heaven they will get 72 virgins ,yeah virgins to have sex .It is also there in quran go and read it ..
And sorry if u r a muslim women u will only get to see ur husband sleeping with those woman .!!
Whereas Hinduism Bhuddism teaches about MOKSHA (i.e freedom from the cycle of birth and death ,what lord budha ,mahavira have already attained.)
we don’t want criticize anyone from any religion nor we want to convert anyone but when people start saying “Holier Than Thou” means my religion is better than yours or u r following something wrong,then the problem arises.
Judge ur self !! a religion teaching sex and slavery or a religion teaching MOKSHA and Law Of KARMA!!
JAI SHREE RAM JAI HANUMAN !!JAI SHREE KRISHNA !! HAR HAR MAHADEV !!
Here is what the Harivarnsa has to say:
With a young, new moon sailing untroubled through the balmy autumn nights, Krishna felt playful and exuberant . . . sometimes, stirred on by pleasurable emotions, he sported with girls from the camp through the dark, warm nights. The girls ecstatically drank in his countenance as if it were the moon come to earth. With his bright arm bands and wild flower garlands, Krishna’s glowing presence made all Vraja glow. Entranced by his graceful ways, the girl herders greeted him joyously as he strolled about. They pressed their full, swelling breasts against him, their eyes darting about. Eluding the restraint of mothers, fathers, and brothers, the pleasure drunk girls dashed through the night to his side. Forming a row, they sang praises of his deeds, each girl striving to outdo the others . . . Their limbs were soon covered with dust and dung as they struggled to satisfy Krishna, like excited female elephants topped by an aroused bull elephant. With wide eyes beaming with love, the deer eyed girls thirstily drank in their lover’s dark form. Then others had their chance to find pleasure in his arms. When he sighed with pleasure, the girls joyously echoed his melodious sounds. Their hair, once carefully bound and parted, lay strewn about as they fell back fulfilled, stray hairs caressing the nipples of their breasts. On many a moonlit autumn night, Krishna and the herder girls joined in these revels, amusing themselves in delicious play.
SNR, it seems you have not read the article at all. To try and explain a spiritual aspect of Bhagavata to someone who is bent upon seeing sexual overtures in everything is futile it seems.
To explain what the Rasa Lila is all about, you will have to come out of your current mindset.
The sceptics quote Harivamsa or Bhagavata in parts to try and malign Lord Krishna. Their intentions are clearly understood when they coolly ignore that the same texts as part of his Lilas extol other aspects like Krishna lifting the Govardhana in his little finger, like killing Agasura, Putana as a baby, dancing on the 101 hooded snake Kalindi’s head and so on. Even in the Rasa Lila…being present as a companion to all the hundreds of gopikas at the same time. If you want to understand the Rasa Lila, you must first believe that Krishna could achieve all the above at the tender age of 10 . When you do that , you realise that you are not talking about an ordinary human being, but the Paramatma’s purna avtaar.
As thinking citizens, I believe that consensual sex is a good thing. Radha and Krishna were in love with each other, and their love did require you and me to believe in them. They were happy, their love was divine, and they loved each other very very much. Premarital sex you say. Marriage itself is a social evil.. How can there be any love if if is bound by social obligations.. Radha lived a life of her own after Krishna left, forever, in love with him, and longing for the companionship. As a matter of fact, she was older than Krishna, Lakshmi had incarnated on earth due to a curse before Vishnu did, to suffer in his absence was the worst of punishments, she suffered for her one true love to be born..
We must all want that sort of love for ourselves.
I love my Radha.
Long live Radha Krishna..
karthikeyan balakumar
Dear Balakumar, While I understand your love for your Radha, it is important that all believing Hindus start reading the Bhagavatam in its original form and understand all the Lilas of Sri Krishna. Can you kindly quote the reference from where you have quoted the above ?
we all heard the stories of lord krishna from our parents since childhood. What our learned judges heard from their parents. Had they told them sex stories of radhakrishna. Shame on u.
@amol
those who have been handed out the religion and have never enquired to understand are the ones who do not care about religion. and think all religions are bakwaas… those who think economic development is the only goal of life will never be concerned about religion. and will rant on important issues related to religion.
Those who understand their own religion and others religion will certainly protest against such blatant distortion of facts and quoting out of context. It seems you have not gone through the whole comments section… please get informed.
blah blah blah….why do you care what someone else says about your beliefs? you believe what yhou want ..period. I say all religion is bakwaas anyways…. does it change anything for you? whatever strong feelings we have for so called ‘religions’ – its just something you were born with and fed into your minds… get rid of it!
a_s_s people of India who dont respect our own Gods . Supreme court is nothing but baseless room of idiots sitting and giving verdict . Just last week I saw in news channel how Judges copy in Exam to get promotions .
Why dont they order detailed examination of Taj mahal which was once Hindu temple . All muslims favoring people and sick politicians of India
No civilization confers religious status to its mythological characters save Indian. Honestly none of the characters especially Krishna having a harem and live in relationship with Radha can hardly evoke religious sentiments in any one mind. But if Hindis consider him as their deity, then there is every justification for Khajurao temples.
you said “Honestly none of the characters especially Krishna having a harem and live in relationship with Radha can hardly evoke religious sentiments in any one mind” and you say its because it is mythology.
But sir, for 80% of India(The Hindus) the characters of Krishna and Radha do evoke religious sentiments. And its not mythology. And Krishna did not keep maintain harems. please read the article http://ariseindiaforum.org/cultural_preservation.php?type=53
And why only India also Malaysia, Trinidad and Tobago, Thailand, Nepal, etc. significant population in these countries are connected to the Vedic roots.
@ Dr. Gaur Mohanty,
Please abstain from using the word Hindu Mythology. Its history.
thanks.
The reference to Lord Krishna and Radha is absolutely unwarranted,in bad taste, highly provoking,and by this the Hon’ble Court have committed an act of gross profanity.According to Srimad Bhagabatam Lord Krishna left for Mathura at the tender age of 10 years 7 months ,and in Bhagabat the name of Radha never occurs.Further it is only in Brahma Baibarta purana one finds details of Krishna and Radha ; and their marriage ceremony was conducted by Bramhadev himself.This evidently makes a devastating exposure of the abysmal ignorance of the learned Judges in Hindu mythology .Yet these blessed persons won’t desist from making irresponsible statements from their high pedestals!It is equally true of majority of so-called highly learned people occupying lofty positions,since their secular education and upbringing kept them totally insulated from ancient Indian history,mythology and culture ,as all these bore the taboo of “Hindu”and hence anti-secular ,and therefore should not be touched with a barge pole .
Further the issue before the Supreme Court was the ‘Freedom of Speech’ from which the Court should not have digressed to ‘Freedom of Sex’,and even in such exigencies while the Court had put pointed questions to the complainant ,it was extremely desirable for the learned Judges to have observed that ,though Khusboo is exonerated for not committing any breach of law,but these type of celebrities /film personalities unfortunately becoming icons to the young people should not be emulated,keeping in view the long tradition ,conventions,morals and ethos of our land.
The learned Judjes have through their obiter dicta ( as I have not gone through the final judgement) failed to dicriminate between sacred and profane ; between what is legal and what is legitimate.The Indian ethos clearly distinguish between ‘shreya ‘ and ‘preya’.
Finally though it is perfectly within the bounds of existing law not to marry and have consensual sex ,and openly flirt with several consenting women; I dare say that if the Hon’ble judges would have adopted the same in their early life ,they couldnot have been elevated to the high position ,as such acts though not illegal are not honourable as well .
This is fully insulting of Hindu community by court.
We protest the judgement.
I agree with Rameshwarji
Kindly ask all the judges that whether their mother had any premarital sex with anybody.

what an unfortunate thing that the judges of Apex court are not aware of their own religious scriptures and make such irresponsible statements…
we can provide some knowledge to these judges from below link:
http://ariseindiaforum.org/cultural_preservation.php?type=53
The reference to the mythological episode of Radha and Krishna is is an insult to the revered avatars and sheer display of irresponsible and ignorant behavior of the top judicial posts of India and of the judges in person.
Its is absurd to mention such a thing.
Radha and Krishna episode as a realtionship between a devotee and the Lord.
If they can’t respect the faith and feelings of the oldest order of faith in the world , I don’t call them wise.
The Hon,ble Supreme Court has quoted the Holy Name of Radha Krishan in such a cheap matter that,s slanderous to all the Hindus. The Supreme Court may the the highest Court of the land but can,t go to the extent to hurt the sentiments of Hindus. The Hindus as whole should condemn vehemently. Had such a statment quoted for Prohpet Mohmmad or Jesus Christ or Guru Nanak, the Hue & Cry must be Launched at world level. The Hon,ble Chief Justice of India & President of India should immediately intervene the matter & should ask the concern Justice to withdraw the such vulnerable quote against the Hindus from the judgement in question and seek unconditional apology from the Hindus, so that the fire be not broken out ahead.
This is a clear case of dilution of the value of the highest court in India.Never before we have seen such cheap judgments from any of the esteemed persons occupying the highly respected seats

The Chief Justice
Supreme Court of India
New Delhi
This is in reference to the reported comments made by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India on 23rd March 2010 in the case of actress Khushboo.
We hold the opinion that the Supreme Court is within its rights to deliver the judgment which it holds right in the eyes of law. But the example cited about the relationship of The Supreme Personality of Godhead Shri Krishna and Shrimati Radharani by the Hon’ble Court has hurt the sentiments of the Hindu fraternity and devotees across the globe. The relationship between Sri Krishan and Shrimati Radharani is spiritual and that is why They are worshipped centuries after centuries including lifelong celibates.
On one hand Supreme Court gives Shri Shri Radha Krishna example to justify pre maritial sex and in same breathe it says that Hindu religion and pastimes of Sri Sri Radha Krishna is a mythology (The court said even Lord Krishna and Radha lived together according to mythology.) So if all Hindu scriptures are mythology according to the Supreme Court then why you are referring from them? When it comes to believe in ideals of Bhagavat Geeta, you will say its all mythology. And when it comes to justifying leaving together then you give such example of Krishna??? This is nothing but hypocrisy and blasphemy. If you believe in Krishna then believe it in entirety and if you don’t then, don’t believe anything about it. Sometimes people urge that Yudhisthir ate meat too, so we can eat as well. But when it comes to Yudhishthir’s vow of telling truth, then they say its mythology. Who says, the intellectuals are not hypocrite.
If Supreme Court says, Mahabharata and Ramayana are mythologies, how come Supreme Court and all the other lower courts in India allow Bhagwad Gita as a holy book of Hindus and allow Hindus to take oath in the Corts keeping right hand on Bhagwad Gita! So SC is contradicting itself and it is nothing but blasphemy. Blasphemy is irreverence toward holy personages, religious artifacts, customs, and beliefs.
Its very offensive on part of the Supreme Court that it has roped in the relationship of Radha Krishna to justify such immoral relationships. Is that the way to quote episode from scriptures? What is SC trying to suggest? That the Supreme Lord Krishna and His eternal consort Shrimati Radharani is involved in immoral affairs!! How many times have be ever bothered to follow good examples from Hindu scriptures other than quoting in mindless manner the episodes from sacred books of Hindus. Hindus treat whole world as manifestation of universal consciousness. That makes it a most secular religion in the whole world. Will SC then ask the government to make Hinduism the official religion of India by quashing the clause that makes India a secular country. What’s really shocking is that there are many provisions in Hindu scriptures that do not support premarital sex or live in relationships. Then what was the need to quote episode involving Radha and Krishna. We know one religion whose founder was allegedly the owner of child wife. So will the SC ask the followers to own the child wife. Will it make pedophilia a no offense for followers of that community. When we do not have the guts to uphold the right values inherent in our Hindu religion then what right do we have to quote lesser heard phenomenon’s out of context and bring them in application as it is ?
It’s very funny that without proper knowledge of the scriptures the Supreme Court is speculating what it should have not speculated. Lord Shri Krishna lived in Vrindavan till he was 11 years old and He left Vrindavan for ever and never ever returned to Vrindavan. All the Gopis and Shrimati Radharani remained in Vrindavan. Lord Krishna Has Rasalila when He was only 8 years old. So first understand that Lord Krishna was a small child and all Gopis were also small children’s and as such there is no question of any such relationship. He also lifted Govardhan hill when He was 7 years old. All of you should first understand the position of Lord Krishna and then speak. If one wants to speak about Lord Krishna or wants to give example or quote from his pastimes, then he has to except all other pastimes and see the whole thing in same context. First of all let us understand who is Krishna? Lord Shri Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead as per all Vedic literatures. So if he is the Supreme God, it means everything in the whole creation belongs to the God. It means all the wealth of this world, all beauty of this world, all knowledge of this world, all power of this creation, all renounciation of this world belongs to Him. It also means that he is the husband of all living entities. According to the Vedas only Purusa is the Lord and all other livng entities are prakriti (feminine). So Lord Krishna is the husband of every living being ever existing.
Shrimati Radharani is the eternal consort of Shri Krishna. They are inseparable. They are the adi dampatti. Lord Krishna appeared around 5000 years back in Vrindavan. But Lord Krishna is unborn. Like example is given that it appears every morning that Sun is taking birth from the eastern horizon and disappering in the sea. But does Sun take birth in the morning and dies in the evening. In the same way Lord Krishna appears with His eternal consort and associates and perform His beautiful pastimes so that to attract all the living entities back home back to Godhead. So Shrimati Radharani and Lord Shri Krishna are the eternal consort and the Supreme Lord.
Also Lord new that people in Kaliyuga will speak nonsense so he enacted the pastime of remarrying Shrimati Radharani. Lord Krishna married Shrimati Radharani when they were small. This vivah ceremony was conducted by Lord Bramha himself. This pastime took place in Bhandirvan and is explained in Garga Samhitta and Gita Govinda. Also all Gopis of Vrindavan were also married to Lord Shri Krishna when Lord Bramha has stolen all the friends of Lord Krishna for one year. When Lord Bramha has stolen all the calfs and the friends of Lord Krishna for one year, Lord Krishna expanded Himself as the cowheard boys and calfs for the full one year. During this time all the Brajabashis got their son’s married. Since only Lord Krishna Has expanded Himself as all the cowheard boys’s, Lord Krishna had actually married all the gopis. After all these pastimes, Lord Krishnan performed Rasa lila.
Supreme court has crossed many lines here. Personally speaking, the supreme court (a very sacred democratic institution) should not promote the cause of relationships based on convenience and lesser moral values. Its judgement should promote the relationships based on responsibility and higher moral values.
We request the Hon’ble Supreme court of India to treat this letter as a representation and review its comments/order of 23rd March 2010 or the same be modified and withdrawn. Even the verdict about relationship between two majors, that is the physical relationship, require to be changed in view of the ethos and traditions of the Hindus/Vaishnav society and land we belong to.
We will continue to express our disagreement with the reported comments unless the same are reviewed or withdrawn after giving an opportunity of hearing. This may also be treated as PIL. Thanks and regards.
I am agree 100% with u. It is our duty to save and repect our culture in this tough and vulgar world.
LIVING TOGETHER WITHOUGHT MARRIAGE is WHORE
Woman is a mother, sister, daughter, daughter in law and when she has no relation like this, she is whore.
its shame that now lawmakers and so called law protectors are only seeing the balck and white ..i.e if something is not offensive as per law then how should it should be stopped like …liberty of living has given adoor way for live in relationship ..now the question is ….Whether a society should not be binded by virtue of Ethics and Morrales….if not then what is the difference bewtween Animal kingdom and human kingdom…
But here i will not entirely blame the judges the crux of the matter is that how much aware we as people are and to what extent we are ready to go to define the boundaries of ethics and morals..coz even the very definition has to be legally correct .
So law alone can never do justice it is the inner transfomation or awakening of inner conscience of people or youth of this country !!!
But yes bringing the context of Lord Krishna and Radha here is very unfortunate .
how embarassing! Krishna was God Himself. The facts and figures about Lord Krishna reveal that Radha was Krishna’s maternal aunt. How could he have such licentious relationship with his own aunt, mausi, who was so much older than him.
Dont be so ignorant. Radha not related to Krishna in any form. You mention Mausi . Mausi means Mother’s sister. Krishna’s Mother Devaki (Birth mother) or Yoshomati (raising Mother) did not had any sister. Its a Christian missionary propaganda to defame Hinduism. Get out of it.
They are relating wrong thing for doing right thing in society.GOD please forgive them as they are using the wrong fact for the welfare of society.
They should get their facts right before making a statement based on any religion.
If they want to draw an analogy based on any religion, first they should know it well.
Its ironical that at such high positions, people do not know how an analogy is drawn.
First they should know the facts well before drawing an analogy.
What can we expect from such people at such high positions who do not even know how to draw an analogy?
Atleast such nonsense is not expected by such officials. it proves how uneducated our decision makers are. only evils can try to spoil the divinity of God. No logic….no education….no cognition….only fools.
What a Sadful act…Moreover it’s supreme court who is saying this. don’t know then why it is called supreme who don’t know even a bit about supreme.
God please forgive them….they dont know what they are doing…
Disgusting….Before making such remarks, they should learn about Lord Krishna
example of lord krishna is not appropraite well premarital sex is leading to a teenage mother or a single mother , which is a issue for both parents. well i personelly dont agree. in medical point of view it is good to have sex after marriage,as there wont be any risk of sexual tansmitted disease too.
Pointing fingers at Lord Krishna is just like raising hand on your parents.
The foremost reason for Lord Krishna’s incarnation was the welfare of mankind, however, the law makers of today because of their wicked and self-centred minds managed & had the courage to throw ridiculous remarks at Lord Krishna(our creator).
Mind it! Horrendous acts like that of the lawmakers are the outcome of nasty minds….The lawmakers should think twice before issuing such a disgraceful remark and hurting the religious sentiments of people.
A thoughtless order by SC.
I am agree 100% with u. It is our duty to save and repect our culture in this tough and vulgar world. May Lord Krishna and Mata Radha bless u!
