"What if the Hare Krishnas are right?"

It's an old joke in the realm of comparative religion. Only one, so the popular wisdom goes, can possibly be right, and everyone else is wrong. But what if it's some obscure tribe in South America? Or, even worse, the Hare Krishnas?

George Harrison said in an interview that one of the things that attracted him to the Hare Krishnas was the idea that when we're in heaven with Krishna, we interact personally with him in whatever way suits us most. He might be a parent, or mentor, or lover, or child.

I haven't researched the issue and so I don't know how accurate this is. Or if once we pick a single form, that we're stuck with that for eternity. But it sounds like the fun basis of a poll. I've taken a few liberties. So here goes:

[Poll #180339]

Edit: So far, only females have picked "lover." Is this because you are imagining a male avatar? Suppose the avatar could be female, too. Or maybe even a "mystif" like Pie'oh'Pah in Clive Barker's Imagica.
