Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 All good qualities are in Sankara. Sri Sanatana Gosvami has written that some Vaisnavas don't observe Siva Caturdasi. In Hari Bhakti Vilasa he has written that Vaisnavas should honor Sankara, and they may observe that date. In his form of Bankandi Mahadeva in Vrindavana he was the friend of Sanatana Gosvami. He became Bankandi Mahadeva from Gopisvara. When Sri Sanatana Gosvami became old, Sankara told him, "Now you are old. You should not come daily to see me, because you are coming from so very far away. Sanatana Gosvami replied, "I should come. I cannot change this habit." Then Gopisvara Mahadeva said, "Then I'm going to come very near to you - as Bankandi Mahadeva." He thus became Bankandi Mahadeva and stayed very near the Madana Mohana Temple. Srila Sanatana Gosvami is also the very dear friend of Cakralesvara Mahadeva in Govardhana. He also used to be with Sankara in Kamyavan, where he is known as Kamesvara. He cannot be without Sankara. As Nandisvara, Sankara has become the mountain of Nandagaon. He wanted that all of Krishna's pastimes be performed on his back. Regarding Brahma, he has become Brahma-parvata in Varsana. Because he is so near to Radhika, he is therefore our Gurudeva _______________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
