08/03/24 morning walk – The Truth About Lord Siva (English) – São Paulo, Brazil | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
- Sadasiva is a manifestation of the Lord, of His potency of Nrsimhadeva Bhagavan, it is a very complex tattva.
- Siva has fifty-five qualities, among them the tama-guna of Maya, so that he can accomplish destruction.
- Siva is not jiva-tattva, nor maya-tattva, nor Visnu-tattva, he is a mixture of tattvas, he is sankara-tattva.
- Sivaji received diksa-mantra from Maha Visnu, he is a pure devotee of Lord Visnu, param-bhakta.
- We are worshipping Sadasiva (asraya-bhava) and Gopisvara Mahadeva (madhurya-bhava). Sivaji is very merciful.
- Without Siva’s mercy it is not possible to enter the rasa dance. Sivaji is the protector of the supreme abode.
- Lord Siva is always offering prayers to Lord Jagannatha and every day he will have His darsana.
- Krsna says to Uddhava: “Sivaji is so dear to Me, neither is Baladeva so dear.”
- Hari Hara, there is a lot of intimacy between Visnu and Siva, like father and son.
- Sivaji satisfies all of Krsna’s desires, and is His greatest devotee.
