Why Dhruva Maharaja ruled for thirty-six thousand years. We should abandon all kinds of speculative knowledge and just listen to harikatha from the lotus mouths of sadhus. The mind’s conceptions of what is pure and impure. Bhakti is superior to jnana, as it arises through the heart of the pure devotee of the Lord. Sloka: kṛṣṇa-bhakti-janma-mūla haya ‘sādhu-saṅga’… (CC Madhya 22.83). The one-pointed devotee of Krsna should be considered sadhu (saint), even if he has numerous faults. About...
