Pariprashnena — Q&A Archive

I heard that too. And Lord Rama was also about such a height. But I have never read anything about it.

in previous yugas people were taller but this was not so long time ago so i wonder why they were so big.
they are not so cute in that size eh?

Many devotees say that people will get smaller in every yuga...

yes, many devotees, including Sukadeva Goswami:

By the time the age of Kali ends, the bodies of all creatures will be greatly reduced in size, and the religious principles of followers of varnasrama will be ruined.

Cant that be a proof that we just shrunk at the end of Dvapara yuga?

I think we will have to wait for the user VEDA to enlighten us.

On Govardhan there is Krishnas large-sized footprint in stone.

My devotee friend read in Mahabharata about the length of bows used and from this calculated that Arjunas height was about 5,5 meters. Krishna was supposed to be shorter.

Also, the standard 1 000-years Dvapara-yuga age gradually turns into 100 years and less in Kali-yuga. This change can be seen from the ages of Biblical patriarchs before and after Flood.

As far as archeology remains, there are many but most are rejected or destroyed by establishment scientists to keep the status quo.

See Servant Krsna? We only had to wait for VEDA.
;)

but we are also giants for future kali yuga people.

you mean for the people for the next yuga? :)

cows will be as big as goats at the end of this kali yuga so humans will be like hobbits!!!

Its gonna be something like Lord of the Rings...Lol :D

I have seen Krishnas footprints in Vrindavana. They are like the size of Shakeel Oneil (The basketball player) and Krishna was younger than 10-11 years. So when he grew up his height could be what we are talking about.

The scriptures say that ine ach yuga everything becomes ten times less - the age, the height etc.

Ramayan explains that the main gates of Ayodhya were 280 ft tall. Why do we need 280 ft tall gates to let a 7 ft person pass through? So to say Lord Rama was 6 mtrs high may not be true.

No I meant that Lord Rama was also very big.
:)

see statue of lord buddha in afghanistan was mountain height,it must have made to real live that time like we make deities max. to our height now a days.....
srimad bhagavat also says that in kali human will become shorter in height,less lives etc...

NOD ch. 42 states that in His pauganda lila (6-10 years) Krsna uses a "stick about fifty-six inches long" (= about 140 cm). If used for walking the stick of this length would fit a person about 2 meters tall.

it was not a cane walking stick.

"As His inconceivable spiritual energy is all-extending, still He maintains His all-charming medium size by His qualifying spiritual instrumentals." (http://vedabase.net/bs/5/1/en) Its hard to say exactly what "medium size" is. One may just as well ask what is His waist size, but who can rightly say?

easy, just look at his footprints in Vraja and you will get his approx. height.

However Brhad-aranyaka Upanisad (3.4.4) explains:

asthulam ananv ahrasvam

"The Supreme Personality of Godhead is neither subtle, nor gross, nor short, nor tall."

and in (3.8.8) it is said:

etad vai tad aksaram gargi brahmana abhivadanty asthulam anava-hrasvam

"O Gargi, the brahmanas say that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is neither great nor small, tall nor short."

Of course for a particular purpose or lila he can assume any particular size with his non material body.

However size of Govardhana is described in Garga samhita (and it is smaller now...)

So He is of an average size in relation to people of His times. But the question was about the specific size in ft/m in prakat lila 5000 year ago.

Yes, such sport stick would be shorter than walking stick. This would make Him even taller.

This stick could be a prop stick used when He played His venu. But not really 6 meters.

BTW its amazing how little if any mention in any books of His height. I guess He must be seen as all sizes and in every temple He is correct size - actual absolute size.

There is no evidence that I know to suggest He was 6m.

Were speaking of His pauganda age though.

Id like to see those bow sizes refs, so far the only hunch.

Im a Muslim brother. Im also interested in this issue. I was told my friend that lord Rama was very tall. But, his arguments were not convincing for me. Is there any verses in Ramayana which suggests such a huge size of lord Rama?
Please help me. My conscience doesnt allow me to believe that lord Krishnas and Ramas foot prints are preserved after such along time. Near my place there is a Muslim mosque where they have preserved such a big footprint mask, and what is written there is " footprint of prophet Ibrahim"( Abraham). That too was not convincing for me.
Please some one give me a proper reply. Im nor questioning your belief. Im just a muslim guy who is interested to know about hindu philosophies and mythologies. Thats why.

Marfan, seems like no one here read the whole Ramayana to give a specific reference. Its not the main scripture for Gaudiya Vaishnavas. Personally Ive read only Bala Khanda (for a research project) and there was nothing about this. The complete version: www.valmikiramayan.net

Hari bol

thank you veda.

There is a virus (HEUR:Trojan.Script.Iframer) in the link you provided. Please be careful. My antivirus software detected it

Krishnas and Ramas and Radhas physical height are not important. The depth of their Consciousness is.
But it is good that we are gossiping about them than about mundane beings.

here is a very interestin scieentific approach, proof,
why our ancestors in previous yuga - and all the animals
and plants were as much bigger than today

A TOMATO PLANT AS HIGH AS A 3-STORY
BUILDING? Thats right!

Japanese physicist Dr. Kei Mori exposed plant life to
two of the conditions of the original world ecology -
before the Great Flood.

He grew tomato plants under a plastic dome which
filtered the ultraviolet rays; and he increased the
carbon-dioxide.
After two years, a cherry tomato plant was 16 feet tall,
with 903 tomatoes on it. After six years, the same
tomato plant was over 30 feet tall and had produced
over 5,000 tomatoes.
That tomato plant just didnt want to die. Ask yourself
now, How long do tomato plants usually live? Perhaps
five or six months? They die of old age, destroyed by
ultra-violet radiation.
Could this have some bearing on how old people would
have lived under the same environment?

GREATER AIR PRESSURE THEN

The atmospheric pressure, as well as the oxygen content,
had to be greater in the past, in order to support the
huge life forms which then existed.
My friend Dr. Carl Baugh, of Glen Rose Texas, has set
out to build the worlds first hyperbaric biosphere, 62
feet long. Its purpose is to simulate the context of our
original world.
An engineer from NASA has called it the greatest
experiment in history, ever performed in the name of
science.
Research indicates that essentially everything was larger
in the past. For instance, the club mosses which today
reach sixteen to eighteen inches often approach two
hundred feet in the fossil record.

The difference may well be in the atmospheric pressure:

In todays atmosphere we have 14.7 pounds atmospheric
pressure per inch at sea level.
But to oxygenate the deep cell tissue of those great
dinosaurs we need much greater atmospheric pressure.
Research has shown that when you approach two times
todays atmospheric pressure, the entire blood plasma
is saturated with oxygen.

IMAGINE HAVING THE ENERGY TO RUN 200
MILES NON-STOP!
Such atmospheric pressure would also PROMOTE RAPID
HEALING!

A CANOPY WOULD PROMOTE SUCH
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE

It is believed that before the Flood a water canopy
enveloped the earth, above the atmosphere. With such
a canopy, the atmosphere would be pressurised to a
greater degree than we have now.
SURPRISING EVIDENCE
- A PRE-FLOOD HAMMER

In the 1980s, a hammer found inside a rock stratum
was analysed by the Batelle Laboratories in
Columbus, Ohio, the same laboratory that analysed
moonstones.
The elemental analysis showed it to be 96.6 percent
iron, 0.74 percent sulphur, and 2.6 percent chlorine.

Physicists tell us that under todays atmospheric
conditions you cannot compound chlorine with metallic
iron. Yet here it is. Today, chlorine can be joined
with iron as solid metal only in two atmospheres of
oxygen pressure, and only in the absence of ultraviolet
radiation.
Of course, ultraviolet radiation would have been
filtered out by the protective canopy.
Research indications are that the pre-Flood atmosphere
is the only plausible explanation, for the forging of
this metallic artefact.
This gets intensely interesting.
Thats why I could not keep this and other discoveries
to myself. So many folk have been asking me to share
information about these wonders. Thats why the
ebook "The Killing of Paradise Planet" was produced.
