He was thinking, "What has Laksmana done? Nothing." He did not understand that Laksmanji was always serving Rama, and in fact He was Rama Himself.ĭvivida lived for so long that he was also present at the time of Krsna.

However, he had never given honor to Laksmana. He had served Him so much, and he had helped Him to fight against Ravana. Dvivida bandara was present at the time of Rama. Sometimes we neglect this, but we should try not to.īaladeva Prabhu also killed Dvivida bandara (gorilla) in Dvaraka. Those who are tasting Vaisnava seva, harinama, and hearing of hari-katha, have more sukriti than anyone. He may be lakhs times superior to the person telling hari-katha. You are my friends who are saving me from great danger." If anyone explaining hari-katha thinks, "None of them know anything", what is this? It is an offence.Īlthough someone may not be speaking hari-katha, still he may be as qualified as Srila Haridasa Thakura or Srila Gaurkisora dasa babaji. Feeling that they were prominent, he would tell them, "If you are not here, I cannot tell hari-katha to anyone.

Quite opposite to this, Prabhupada Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura used to offer pranama to his entire audience. He had never offered pranama to his audience. He said, "Nonsense, you don't want to respect any of the devotees, and you think you are superior to them because you are telling hari-katha and they are hearing." If anyone is like this, he is neither qualified to tell hari-katha nor is he qualified to hear hari-katha. He could not stand up from his position and do pranamas. As Romaharsana Suta was accustomed not to honor any Vaisnava, thinking himself superior to all, when Baladeva Prabhu arrived he also did not honor Him. You know that Baladeva knows all things, and so He realized this. I am guru of all the 88 thousand rsis assembled here." There were thousands of devotees present who were superior to him, but he never gave any respect to them. You know the pastime of Sri Baladeva's killing Romaharsana Suta, but do you know why He did it? The fact is that this Romaharsana Suta never honored any devotees.
