So Srila prabhupada was off when he said "The devotee of the Lord is merciful to everyone—the cats, dogs, trees, etc. He treats all living entities in such a way that they can ultimately get salvation from this material entanglement. Sivänanda Sena, one of the disciples of Lord Caitanya, gave liberation to a dog by treating the dog transcendentally. There are many instances where a dog got salvation by association with a sädhu, because a sädhu engages in the highest philanthropic activities for the benediction of all living entities. Yet although a sädhu is not inimical towards anyone, the world is so ungrateful that even a sädhu has many enemies." Who accuse them of being low class and muci. And just for the record, I don't own a dog, don't like dogs, thought it was off that Bhaktipada took a dog regularly into the temple, and am consistantly on record as being opposed to loose dogs roaming the temple area. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
