How was Arjuna related to Sri Krishna🦚? Kunti was the biological daughter of Shurasena, a Yadava ruler. Her birth name was Pritha. She is said to be the reincarnation of the goddess Siddhi. She was the sister of Vasudeva, Krishna’s father. Thus, Kunti is the sister of Vasudeva who is Krishna’s father. Her son, Arjuna thus becomes Krishna’s cousin. I found this information online, can you please tell me if this information is correct.

Krishna and Arjuna were first cousins. But their relationship goes much deeper. Sri Krishna reveals in the Mahabharata that they are Nar (human) and Narayan

For most of us moksha (liberation from the cycle of birth-death) is the ultimate goal. Isn’t this an escapist and pessimistic approach? In my view this is not true. Instead of Moksha, we should seek peace, power, prosperity and happiness/bhoga in this world itself. This world must have been made for this, otherwise these things would not have existed and whenever we fell short in our efforts to attain them, God helps us at our call through his different forms.

Worldly desires are not created by man in the lab. They are given to him naturally.

The purpose of desire is to shake up the inert tamasic state in which man may sink and, like the stone, neither seek nor aspire,

What is the difference between realising one’s psychic being🌟 and realising one’s soul? Both are immortal in essence, both are a portion of the Supreme and both give us liberation from our surface nature. Of course, while the Atman is a static entity and psychic being evolutionary, I was still wondering where exactly is the difference between these two realisations?

The soul is the seed, the core around which the psychic being develops through an evolutionary process. In essence they are one and the same.

I had a doubt about the other paths of worshipping the Divine Mother and are those worshippers too involved in the divine work which integral yoga aims at? If someone is in the tantric upasana of Maha Kali, who is none other than the Divine Mother in her personality of strength, and he completely surrenders to her will, would he too be joined in the work of manifesting divinity in matter🧐? Or would he go to the path of oneness with her, or the path of traditional concept of Moksha?

Different forms and names, whether of the Ishwara or of the Divine Mother are there precisely because each has a specific power and purpose in
