Guest guest Posted November 5, 1998 Report Share Posted November 5, 1998 Camp: Mathura-desa Nama Hattas, Arabian Gulf Area, Middle East, Arabian Sea. My Dear Anuttama dd, Please accept my blessings. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Thankyou for your letter cited below with my comments. I have noted the contents carefully. > Dear Srila Acaryapada > PLease accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! > > You mentioned in one conversation about 3 reasons why devotees get tested. > Which were these 3 reasons? > > Thank you, > Your servant, Anuttama devi dasi I heard this from Badrinarayan Prabhu and am giving what I have realized. I don't know his source. 1) Tests to further refine our Krishna consciousness. 2) Tests as a "token" payment for releasing us from larger amounts of karma. This is also since we are attached to the material world and it helps to get us detached by reminding us how lousy material life really is. 3) As a way of teaching others Lord Sri Krishna sometimes puts His devotees in a test like He did with the Pandavas. I hope this helps. I hope that this finds you in good health. Your ever well wisher, Jayapataka Swami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
