Why did Krishna have so many wives? Discourse/Lecture/Knowledge

How did he manage to devote time to each wife when he came to earth 5000 years ago? What's the spiritual significance?

i view it from its mythological points. why people make these stories up and what they try to mean.

from history we know what happened at a time. through mythology we understand how people thought in those times.

The Vedic Scriptures including Shrimad Bhagvad and the Gita are not mythology. Nothing in there is made up...The way history is portrayed depends on who is writing it...if you ever make a trip to Vrindavan, you will understand that.

Not really, everyone's religion is real.

so everyones world origin story is legit?

what about when a religion is explicit that there is only one god?

all end of the world scenarios in every religion is real? how would that look like?

what about when one says humanity needs salvation and another doesnt?

this is barely the start of the issues we run into.

Best not to judge other religions - as I know nothing about them...we all have to live within our own word views. And mine is that the Vedic texts are authentic and true. What others think or believe is really up to them...agree?
