spreading? They burn effigies of Ravan, they don't even know what Ravan was!
Who is the vasudev of this current time cycle? Lord Krishna. So therefore this obeisance reaches Lord Krishna. It reaches all the protecting deities of Lord Krishna
The Vasudev State
What are these vasudevas like? They are so powerful that thousands of people can be moved to fear by mere look in their eyes. What is the indication of the cause (karmic) for becoming a vasudev? It is when a person can die from fear by merely looking into their eyes, such is the power they possess. These qualities are apparent in a vasudev-to-be many lifetimes ahead. When they walk, the earth would shake! Yes, the earth actually makes a noise when they walk, and this happens many lives ahead to them becoming a vasudev. The cause (karmic) of becoming a vasudev is very different. Their very presence causes chaos in the world. Talks of vasudev is a different matter altogether! One can tell a vasudev at the time of his birth. A vasudev to be can be recognized from many lives ahead because of his attributes. A tirthankar to be cannot be identified but vasudevas can. Their characteristics are entirely different altogether. The same goes for the prativasudev!
Questioner: So how can we recognize a Tirthankar before his time?
Can you not know there will be a transition towards full moon from the waxing moon? In the same way, one can know that this person is going to be a vasudev.
Ravan & Krishna These above-mentioned fall in the category of the sixtythree Salaka Purush (best of men). These sixty-three are those who have received the seal of approval that they have the qualities of being God. So if we only pay obeisance to the arihants and not the vasudevas who are future arihants; if we say anything negative about them, what consequences will we have to bear? Some People make comment and criticize, "...this happened to Krishna, that happened to Krishna...". Beware! You cannot say such things. Don't say anything! What you have heard about him is a different matter! Why are you risking such grave consequences? Lord Krishna is going to be a tirthankar in the next cycle of twenty-four tirthankaras ordained for this world. Ravan too is going to be a tirthankar in the next cycle. Why do you take on unnecessary liabilities?
Sixty-Three Shalaka Purush Shalaka Purush means those that have the best qualities of attaining moksha. Others too will attain moksha, but these are the best and most unique of people. These are renowned beings. They become renowned before their moksha. Included in the category of the sixty-three Shalaka Purush are the twentyfour tirthankaras, twelve chakravaty emperors, the nine vasudevas, along with the nine prativasudevas and also nine balrams. Balram the eldest brother of the vasudev will always be included in this category. This - the sixty-three salakha Purush is a natural adjustment! There is no deviation from this and there is no stopping this. Just as we need two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen for water, this is no different. This is a scientific phenomenon. This sixty-three is not my number, if it were, I would have put sixty-four instead of sixty-three, but nature has
Dadashri: Tirthankaras are simple people. Everything about them is straightforward. Nothing wrong comes to them. If it does they strive hard to come back to their straightforward ways. Their linage is different altogether! But the vasudev and prativasudev have their traits many lifetimes ahead. And for one to become a vasudev means to go from being a human into Godhood! This transition is like the phases of the moon; from the moonless dark nights of the month towards the full moon.
