Why is it forbidden in the scriptures to see the back of Krishna/Deities?

#Long_thread

In the Vedic and Puranic scriptures of Sanatan Dharma, many instructions related to worship have been given.

1
In the scriptures, instructions have been given from daily karma to the worship-system and Dev-darshan. Some instructions are also mentioned in the scriptures regarding going to the Devasthan. Some general instructions like going to the temple only after taking a bath,

2
wearing clean clothes, going to the temple, always going to the temple after being pure and having darshan in a holy state, etc. even in the scriptures are mentioned that the sins of every birth are washed away by the mere sight of Shri Bhagwan. In the Ramayana,

3
Lord Rama himself has said that as soon as a living entity is in the sanmukh of Me, then his (not one but) the sins of crores of births are destroyed (here the word Sanmukh is very important because the soul or soul is facing the Lord, It is important to take refuge in Him,

4
and not the matter of the inert body.) Whenever there is a soul, the soul is fascinated. Janam Koti agh nasahin Tahi Bhi.. - Manas. 5. 44 Therefore, there are many types of rituals and rituals to get the darshan of God. and efforts are made.

5
Devotees go on tons of pilgrimages, temples, religious places, and temples to see the deities. According to the belief, only by seeing the idols of all the gods and goddesses does one attain virtue. But one such exception is mentioned in the scriptures,
6
according to which one should not see the back of Lord Shri Krishna. The rule of not seeing the back of Lord Shri Krishna is given in the scriptures. Therefore, whenever you go to the Shri Krishna temple,

7
it must be kept in mind that the back of Lord Shri Krishna should not be seen. The story related to not seeing the back of Lord Shri Krishna is as follows. Once when Lord Krishna was fighting with Jarasandha, Jarasandha's companion was an Asura.

8
Kalyan also came to fight with them. Kalyan came in front of Lord Shri Krishna and started challenging him. Then Lord Shri Krishna ran away from there. Due to running away from the battlefield, one name of Lord Shri Krishna was Ranchhod, which is known to all.

9
When Lord Krishna was running away, Kalayavan also started following him. Shri Krishna ran away from the battlefield because the reason for this was only that the virtuous deeds of Kalayavan's previous births were very high and Lord Shri Krishna did not punish

10
anyone as long as the strength of his virtuous deeds remained (this also proves that No matter how many sins a sinner keeps on committing, he is not punished until the merits of his previous births are exhausted.

11
This is the reason why in today's time we see only sinners and unrighteous people more happy. No matter how many sins they commit, they will not get any punishment as long as their past merits remain. Huh ). Seeing the back of Lord Shri Krishna,

12
Kalayavan started running after him, and in the same way, the iniquity of Kalayavan started increasing because the unrighteousness resides on the back of the Lord. Thus the iniquity of Kalayavan was increasing, when the effect of his virtue was exhausted,

13
then Lord Krishna went to a cave, where a king named Muchukunda was in nidrasana. Muchukunda had a boon from Lord Indra that whoever awakens the king from his sleep, will be burnt to ashes as soon as the king's sight falls on him.

14
Kalyan mistook King Muchukunda for Shri Krishna. He lifted it and as soon as King Muchukund saw it, Kalayavan was burnt to ashes. Therefore, one should not have darshan of the Lord's back, because it destroys the effect of virtue and increases unrighteousness in the person.

15
Always have the darshan of Lord Shri Krishna w face to face and if by mistake his back is seen, then ask for forgiveness from God. According to the scriptures, to get rid of this sin, one has to observe a difficult Chandrayan fast. In the scriptures, instructions have been

16
given for the Chandrayaan fast, according to which the fast should be eaten and eaten in the order of decreasing and increasing the moon. It has to be cut. One has to remain fast on Amavasya and this fast is completed on Purnima.

Story of a British officer who claimed he was saved by Lord Shiva!

#Long_Thread

Hinduism abounds with legends of miracles; superhuman deeds of gods born as humans; and mortals claiming to have been visited by one of the various Hindu deities.
But the following story is unique.

A Hindu sights a Hindu god in his dream or has a vision of a god in real life, that’s believable because the person reveres that god. But a Christian claiming to see a Hindu god who ends up saving the man’s life…that’s unheard of.
Lord Shiva – The Saviour

It was 1879, and the British were ruling India. An officer in the British Army, Lt. Col. Martin of Agar Malva, was leading the army in the war against Afghanistan.

Col. Martin would regularly send messages about his well-being to his wife.
