– Punishment is also the Lord’s mercy; it removes the anarthas from the heart. – One of Maya’s names is Krpa, Mercy. – Maya is very strict; you have to practice sadhana and thus get rid of punishment. – Bhakti manifests in our hearts through sadhu-sanga. – Different sadhus: bhagavad-parsada-deha-prapt (e.g., Narada Muni); murchitta-kasaya (e.g., Narada Muni in a previous life); nirdhuta-kasaya (e.g., Sukadeva Gosvami). – Suta Gosvami and...

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...

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...
