Respecting our Vaisnava Family
"To blaspheme devotees who have dedicated their lives to chanting the Holy name of the Lord. The holy name, who is identical with Krsna, will never tolerate such blasphemous activities."
In the Japa Room this week we are discussing the ten offenses on the Holy Names, which are very important to anyone who wants to progress in spiritual life.
Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu couldn't stand an offense to Lord Nityananda and also Lord Narasimha couldn't accept someone offending his beloved devotee Pralada Maharaja - this means Krsna cares about His devotees.If we follow Srila Prabhupada's example - being humble and tolerant, we can see that just by respecting one another we can achieve some of his qualities.
Good chanting makes us humble to the Holy names and at the same time to anyone else including our vaisnava family.
Hare Krsna.
