Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 ============ REF. Room Conversation -- July 19, 1973, London Revatinandana: But if a devotee knows Krsna, if he knows of Krsna, then wherever he is destined, he will go perfectly to his perfect position. Just like Bhisma knew Krsna... Prabhupada: Mad-yajino yanti mam. Krsna devotees, they go directly, especially those who are worshiping Krsna through Caitanya Mahaprabhu. They directly go to Krsnaloka. Revatinandana: What about like the case of Bhismadeva where he knew about Krsna in Goloka, and he went to Krsna as Partha-sarathi. Prabhupada: No, Krsna... He understood Krsna as Narayana. He will go to Vaikuntha, Bhismadeva. Revatinandana: But he had full knowledge of everything as a mahajana. He knew also... Prabhupada: But he loved Narayana, Catur-bhuja. Revatinandana: Yes, that was his constitutional position. That's all right. Prabhupada: Just like sometimes madhurya-rasa is the greatest humor... Revatinandana: Who? Prabhupada: Madhurya-rasa, conjugal love. But still, there are devotees who prefer parental love, friendly love. That is liking. Everyone has got his own liking. But they are all the same, all the same. There is no difference between Krsna devotee and Narayana devotee. They are all the... But it is their liking, varieties of liking. Revatinandana: Another related question that also arose... These come in Bhagavata class with the devotees because they think about the questions and sometimes they come up with nice ones. When Krsna is incarnating in His plenary incarnations like Varaha, Nrsimha, like that... Prabhupada: That is in this material world. Revatinandana: Yes. And sometimes devotees become devoted to those forms. Are there corresponding planets in Vaikuntha for those forms of incarnation? Is there a planet of Nrsimha or Nrsimha-loka in the Vaikuntha sphere? Prabhupada: So far (I) know, those planets are here within this material world. Revatinandana: Wherever He is appearing. Prabhupada: Hm. Even Ramacandra's. So far I have... Revatinandana: On all the Vaikunthas, Krsna is in His catur-bhuja, four-armed form? Prabhupada: Hm. Revatinandana: But those devotees will eventually go there. Those kind of devotees like devotees of Sita-Rama, they will also attain the spiritual sky in their various positions. Prabhupada: Yes, yes. Revatinandana: All right. Thank you very much. (offers obeisances) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
