brahman is trascendental to all forms of duality including good and bad. of
course the lord is beyond good and bad. also it is actions and their results
that are described as good and bad. but the lord is beyond action and inaction.
but this does not mean that good and bad dont have relative value. good
actions recommended in sastras have the effect of purifying the consciouness
and thereby helping us understand sastras and higher truths about god. so
protection of dharma is useful.
when the lord appears he does cause the death of the good ones. through their
death he protects dharma. if bhishmacharya had not dies, kauravas and hence
adhrma would have won. not only the death of bhishma but that of the 700
million great souls who fought on the side of pandavas had the opportunity die
remembering the lord in devotion. it is the greatest good because they returned
to the abode of the lord.

Dear Bhagavathas
Adiyen knows nothing on Shastra Gnanam. As it occured
in adiyen's thought process wanted to share with all
to get my internal questions clarified.
When ever people talk about avatara and its purpose,
they quote many slokas and say that is to remove evil
and protect good. But many times the evil alone is not
removed along with that so call good is removed too.
Example in Mahabarata war great learned persons such
as Bhishmacharya etc were given death. Same way in any
wars between the nations in order to defend their
borders many good souls die. So if we consider the
good and bad attributed to persons then what is
happening should be called "aniyayam". On the other
hand I was going through some of the articles on Sri
Vaishnavam on other groups. What they described the SV
is "Sharira and Sharirik" Bhava. If that is the case
any thing and every thing should be part of "him".
Weather good or evil and hence there should be no
qualification for any act, since it is part of him and
why he should punish one part of his "body" and allow
another part to perish for his own action? is that
called his play his maya? Where from that good or bad
comes unless it is part of him? If it is part of him
why it is bad?
It will be great help if some one can answer these
doubts from Gnanasunyam.
