Hey, I guess it depends on who you are. Wild animals were no problem for Chaitanya Mahaprabhu:
After sending Sanatana to Vrndavana, Mahaprabhu went to Puri again through the jungles with his comrade Balabhadra. Balabhadra reported that Mahaprabhu had shown a good many miracles on his way to Puri, such as making tigers and elephants dance on hearing the name of Krsna.

Well, come on. Theseus had no problem with a half man half bull either. But all three are myths in my opinion. |

| Well, I'm glad everyone agrees that he was unbalanced -- what an understatement. I wonder if anyone's ever done a study on religious people/deranged individuals and found any correlation? |

Rteacher!
Tiberius and I both want that on a t-shirt!
I want to show all my friends, family, and students the tiger hugging the elk.
And monkeys dancing ...
They'd make great Christmas presents, too.
Name your price.
I'm sure that we could come to an agreement ... |

You have everything you need to just go ahead and get it made, there's probably a picture transfer place to put whatever you want on pillows, coffee cups, aprons, T-SHIRTS, etc. at Tongdaemoon and/or at the Lotte Mall in Chamsil... everything, that is, except the legal use of the image... but that shouldn't stop you- you ARE in Korea after all!
(I like the guy in the background... 'oooh, this image of harmony is almost too much for my poor human brain to comprehend!') |

Yeah, I don't have the copyright - you could probably get away with making T-shirts for yourselves, but if you try to mass produce them for profit you might get in trouble.
I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss this eyewitness account as a myth - it is said to have occured only a few hundred years ago in the 16th century. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is considered by many to be Krishna Himself who appeared as his own devotee to demonstrate (and experience) the highest stage of ecstatic devotion. Ordinary people took him for a drunken madman and sometimes locked him up, but he revealed various transcendental forms to confidential devotees who realized that he was the Supreme Lord ...

There are a lot of eyewitness accounts to mermaids and sea serpents too from the 16th century. There are a lot of modern eyewitness accounts to bigfoot and the Jersey Devil. You can see where this is going...

Its happened! A vegetarian lion has lived which refused to eat meat, and befriended a lamb..
This goes back to my former argument that in the original creation, all things were vegetarian and meant to eat only plants.
Genesis 1:30. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

this is no stretch.
Wild animals in India, one of the worlds most populaced countries, are used to coexisting peacefully with people. they'd be extinct already were that not the case. Have you heard of the asiatic lion? Compared to African lions, they live peacefully alongside people and attacks are very rare.

Seriously, I like it too. It's scenic, with lots of nature. Then, as you look it more closely, you realize that there's something unusual going on. That's why it'd be so great to have it on a t-shirt.
People would say, "Oooh, that's really pretty ... Hey! What the ... ?!"
No, I wouldn't make fun of Mary breastfeeding Jesus. I would prefer that sort of thing not to be done out in public, though.
Incidentally, the image of a divine mother/divine son is a very old one.
There are statues of Isis and Horus dating back to ancient Egypt (far before the advent of Christianity) that look just like Madonna/Jesus images. |
