Hare Krishna. "Sukamahamunin" = Suka + Mahamunin, who is the self-same Sri Sukadeva Goswami, who spoke the Srimad Bhagavatam. In several puranic histories, he is described as Pravati's parrot who hears the glories of the Lord with Parvati when Lord Shiva describes these to her. In his next pastime, he appears in the womb of Srila Vyasadeva's wife as Sukadeva Goswami. Suka means parrot also. So, sometimes in pictoral drawings, he is represented with a parrot's face although I believe that he had a human face when he appeared as Sukadeva Goswami. Sometimes, for example, Kurma avataram is portrayed as the Lord having His original face and a tortoise's body but if descriptions may be analysed more thoroughly, the Lord appears in full tortoise form with a tortoise face as well. In either case, this I believe is the personality "Sukamahamunin". ys jai simman jakarta __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
