He is extremely powerful, for He can completely stop the onset of a pulsing river simply by using His arrows. Shriman Rama can bring down all the stars, planets, and the sky itself by use of His arrows. He is even capable of saving the earth if it should collapse. The illustrious Rama, if He wanted to, could deluge the whole world by breaking apart the shorelines of the seas. With His arrows, He can resist the onset of the oceans and the wind. After withdrawing the whole world into Himself, that highly renowned best of men, by virtue of His powers, is capable of again creating the whole world with all its creatures.” (Akampana speaking to Ravana, </strong><a href="http://www.krishnasmercy.org/dotnetnuke/News/Blog/tabid/57/EntryId/56/Ramayana-of-Valmiki.aspx"><u><font color="#0000ff" face="Times New Roman"><strong>Valmiki Ramayana</strong></font></u></a><strong>, Aranya Kand, 31.23-26)</strong></p><a href=http://www.krishnasmercy.org/dotnetnuke/News/Blog/tabid/57/EntryId/351/The-Creator.aspx>More...</a> http://www.krishnasmercy.org/dotnetnuke/News/Blog/tabid/57/EntryId/351/The-Creator.aspx info@krishnasmercy.org http://www.krishnasmercy.org/dotnetnuke/News/Blog/tabid/57/EntryId/351/The-Creator.aspx Fri, 19 Mar 2010 01:44:45 GMT http://www.krishnasmercy.org/dotnetnuke/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=351 <p><a href="http://www.krishnasmercy.org/dotnetnuke/News/Blog/tabid/57/EntryId/350/Fairness.aspx"><img title="Krishna and Arjuna" border="0" alt="Krishna and Arjuna" width="204" height="207" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" src="/dotnetnuke/Portals/0/Blog/Files/Fairness_E308/krishna_poster_PY39_l.jpg" /></a><strong> “The whole cosmic order is under Me.
