Vaishnavism

And therefore, he is hateful towards me.

And even if he is my so-called devotee, he is not a Vaishnava.

So such a person may be known as devotee because he is also doing some devotional activities, but he is not a Vaishnava.

So this will apply to people who have given up Karma Yoga, because Karma Yoga is prescribed in Shruti and Smriti, and they may be engaged in devotional activities.

So this sloka says, or God himself says that this is, he is disobeying me by giving up Shruti and Smriti.

Therefore even if he is a devotee, he is not a Vaishnava.

So he says that this statement does not apply to a person who has this Shraddha which is described above.

This is the meaning of when Krishna has said that guna dosha dhrishir dosha gunastu bhaya varjita that this one who is following this Shruti and Smriti He will have idea of what is guna and what is dosha because following vidhi is guna, not following it is dosha, defect.

should fight.

Especially Vaisnavas.

They should tolerate all these things.

So here, he began to tell, that you are in the dynasty of...

He is worshipped as Bhagavan, the Supreme Lord appearing in human form.

In many Vaishnava traditions, he is understood as the fullest manifestation of Vishnu himself, descending into the world when disorder has become too deeply rooted to be corrected by ordinary means.

But the Krishna of the Mahabharata is not presented as a distant god sitting above human pain.

He walks into it, he enters courts filled with suspicion.

So how do we do the balance in our life?

Well, Prahlad Maharaj was a Mahabhagavata, and his request of Lord Nrsimhadeva, when he offers a benediction and says, please liberate my father, that was the Vaishnava's heart.

He could see how much his father was suffering.

he exhibited that Vaishnava heart that please save him.

So it wasn't a familial attachment as in that's my first inclination is to save my family first necessarily.

It has to do with the fact that Prahlad Maharaj had that compassion for him because that's what's in his heart.

He's got great Vaishnavas.

There's one Vaishnava, Chaitanya Baba.

He's been walking around Govrana on full Parikram for 50 years.

So he's got to be 70, 80 years old or something.

And he had, I don't know, cancer or broke his hip or, you know, he's still going around.

He like limps around the hill.

But anyway, Gurunganam has such appreciation for Vaishnavas.

They had a deity of him, you know, doing Purikram and went there.

So he came to do the groundwork.

One Gaudiya Vaishnava Swami spoke that Prabhupada blasted a hole in the mountain of Western illusion so that the road could be built for many to come and give us So much work had to be done and his preaching to us was always work now, samadhi later.

He was a hard master.

Morning till night, hard work.

We can put the dress, we can put so many things and that can be imitated very easily.

That saying is in India, Tupai's Brahman.

So that can be had very cheaply, but the essence of all of our business is that when it comes time for the sadhu to speak that we hear with full submission and even sometimes there may be an apparent difference but that difference is to our external ear only the mood of the Vaishnavas coming from the holy dhamma is one mood only and our ear is not tuned properly so we will hear so many differences Or why one is saying one lakh rounds, one is saying quarter lakh, another is saying four rounds minimum.

And sometimes we get lost.
