Are those who worship Sri Nrisimhadev Dasya-rasa
In the Philosophy of Rasa or the pure heart's disposition, the Devotional Conception may be of five types: Santa, Dasya, Sakhya, Vatsalya and Srngara (Peace-fulness, Servitude, Fraternity, Parenthood and Consorthood).
Adopting their particular disposition, the devotees render their delegated Service to the appropriate Form of Krsna, and ultimately attain to their befitting destination. According to their particular Rasa, they attain to their divne form, their befitting glories, the appropriate seat in the form of the holy place of their service or worship, the appropriate conveyance and the ornaments of divine qualities that enhance their personal beauty.
Those who are eligible for santa-rasa attain the places of peace that are the Abodes of Brahman and Paramatman; those who are eligible for Dasya-rasa attain the majestic Vaikuntha-dhama (Dasya-rasa those who worship Sri Nrisimhadev, Sri Ramachandar etc); and those eligible for pure Sakhya-, Vatsala- and Madhura-rasa reach Goloka-dhama, above Vaikuntha.
In their particular destination, each gains the ingredients and paraphernalia appropriate to their Rasa and sing the Holy Hymns that are directed by the Vedas. In certain passages, the Vedas take refuge in the Divine Potency and describe (reveal) the Holy Pastimes of the Supreme Lord; correspondingly, the fully liberated pure devotees go on singing the Glories of His Pastimes, serving Him by the various established spiritual methods (kirttana, etc.), taking refuge in the Divine Potency.
