Guest guest Posted May 13, 2001 Report Share Posted May 13, 2001 Thus the prostitute became a celebrated devotee. She became very advanced in spiritual life, and many stalwart Vaiñëavas would come to see her. PURPORT Stalwart, highly advanced Vaiñëava devotees are not interested in seeing prostitutes, but when a prostitute or any other fallen soul becomes a Vaiñëava, stalwart Vaiñëavas are interested in seeing them. Anyone can be turned into a Vaiñëava if he or she follows the Vaiñëava principles. A devotee who follows these principles is no longer on the material platform. Therefore, it is one’s strict adherence to the principles that should be considered, not the country of one’s birth. Many devotees join our Kåñëa consciousness movement from Europe and America, but one should not therefore consider them European Vaiñëavas or American Vaiñëavas. A Vaiñëava is a Vaiñëava and should therefore be given all the respect due a Vaiñëava. ============ REF. Antya 3.142 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
