Re: Siddhis and the Power to Perform Mystical Deeds

Dear Mihir,

          Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna! My humble pranams!

          You say, "...here it says that worship of Lord Nitaai Gaura Krishna will take the highest time since they are the highest....".  I humbly request you to please read that post again. Nowhere has Swamiji said that worship of Gauranga Nityananda will be the hardest and longest path.

          He says, "...According to the category of deva one worships the result will come either quickly or after a long time, and the result will either be temporary or permanent....."  This logic holds true  only for demigod worshippers, the worshippers of Mayadevi (Shaktas), worshippers of lower deities, spirits and the like. The result that they can give is only temporary and material and none of it really gives pure devotion. Worshipping Brahma for millions of years can give one Brahma's abode, but one cannot get pure devotion by that type of demigod worship.

           So ultimately the worshippers of demigods, etc are simply wasting millions of years of time and hardwork for nothing. The demigod worshippers simply waste their time while devotees attain the Lord in a very few days.

          It does not imply that it is true for devotees of the Supreme Lord in anyway. On the contrary it is just the opposite. Worship of Nityananda Gauranga is the fastest of all spiritual processes. Nityananda Gauranga are far easier to attain than any demigod because they are very merciful and their causeless mercy breaks all limitations. Nowhere was there or will there be any faster process than the chanting of Nityananda Gauranga along with the Hare Krishna maha mantra. In this Kali Yuga we have got such an opportunity that even the demigods are jealous of how even animals in Kali Yuga can reach the Supreme Lord what to speak of human beings.

           Ultimately what Bhaktivinode Thakur has said about Nityananda Gauranga is the last word on the matter : "Simply by chanting Nityananda Gauranga one can reach the spiritual world in a very few days." I hope this relieves your doubt. Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!

Daaso'smi,
Srinath
