Radha Krishna´s height about 6 meters??
  • Dear Prabhujis,

    I hear from various devotees that when Lord Krishna was present in the planet His height was more than 6 meters, and Radharani about 5 meters.

    Is this true?

    I dont have any problem beliving that Krishna married 16.108 wiwes and have the same number of palaces. But I have problems beliving this gigantic size for wonderful Lord Krishna.

    Any shastrics proof? quotes?

    Please help me

  • 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.

  • Can't 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 Krishna's large-sized footprint in stone.

    My devotee friend read in Mahabharata about the length of bows used and from this calculated that Arjuna's 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.

  • these are direct links to Krishna's footprint pictures:

    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!!!
  • It's gonna be something like Lord of the Rings...Lol :D
  • I have seen Krishna's footprints in Vrindavana. They are like the size of Shakeel O'neil (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) It's 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.
  • We're speaking of His pauganda age though.

    I'd like to see those bow sizes refs, so far the only hunch.
  • I'm a Muslim brother. I'm 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 doesn't allow me to believe that lord Krishna's and Rama's 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. It's not the main scripture for Gaudiya Vaishnavas. Personally I've read only Bala Khanda (for a research project) and there was nothing about this. The complete version: www.valmikiramayan.net

  • thank you veda.
  • There is a virus (HEUR:Trojan.Script.Iframer) in the link you provided. Please be careful. My antivirus software detected it
  • Krishna's and Rama's and Radha's 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? That's 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 didn't 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 world's 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 today's 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
    today's 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 today's 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.
    That's why I could not keep this and other discoveries
    to myself. So many folk have been asking me to share
    information about these wonders. That's why the
    ebook "The Killing of Paradise Planet" was produced.
