Bhāgavata-sevayā means by service to the devotees of Bhagavan and service to (such as hearing) the Śrīmad- Bhāgavatam. By serving the devotees and Bhāgavatam, the major portion of namaparādhas (abhadreṣu) becomes weak. This weakening of aparādhas continues till the stage of rati (bhāva). Naiṣṭhikī refers to niṣṭha, where the mind can easily concentrate on the Lord. When the anarthas are for the most part destroyed, the devotee attains the stage of niṣṭha.

Our much-esteemed akar guru tattva is always respected and honoured by svayaṁ-rūpa Bhagavan Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself extremely, so any insincere approach towards His sevā is surely a great offence which cannot be excused. How and why, He is displaced from our hands while he was being carried down from the chariot, surely which is deadly unfortunate and unexpected incident which never happened before in the history of Śrī Jagannatha Deva Mandir sevā prakasha. Anyway, this is a great offence and also at the same time this is an indication of great amaṅgala. Our whole nation or the world as a whole going to meet with a great disaster which is beyond our imagination.

Before having darśana of any deity of Bhagavān, Śrīla Vaikhānasa Gosvāmī Mahārāja would always ask, “Who installed these deities?” If he was informed that a genuine Vaiṣṇava had installed Them, then he would offer praṇāma. But if not, his next question would be, “Has a distinguished Vaiṣṇava ever had darśana of Them?” If affirmed, he would offer praṇāma. Otherwise, he would leave immediately.

About woman class as a whole Manu Mahārāj used to preserve a very high conception or respect, because their successful mothership can give us great success as human being. Any country or community or society where mātājīs are worshiped or honoured, surely that country or that community or society can achieve all kind of prosperity leading to the highest goal (self-realization) of human life , but any country or community or society where there is no respect and honour for mātājīs – ultimately that can create a hellish condition or environment in that country or community or society.

Śrīman Mahāprabhu Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Deva in course of His giving śikṣā to Sanatan Gosvāmī pad has given the following example of a cruel hunter, about how he was converted into a great Vaiṣṇava by the association (causeless mercy) of Śrī Narad Muni. So it is quite natural that a real sadhu Vaiṣṇava cannot have any jealousy against anybody, then how we can expect that Prabhupāda prestha  Śrīla Kunjabihari Vidyabhusan Prabhu , I mean Śrīla Bhakti Vilas Tirtha Gosvāmī  Mahārāj, the most intimate dear eternal associate of Śrīla Prabhupāda can have any jealousy against his junior affectionate  Godbrother Śrīla Hayagriva Brahmachari, I mean Śrīla Bhakti Dayita Madhava Gosvāmī  Mahārāj! Śrīla Kunjada and his absolute dedication unto the lotus feet of Śrīla Prabhupāda can never be erased from the heart of Śrīla  Prabhupāda. Śrīla Prabhupāda many times wanted to confirm this point in front of us.

Especially in Śrī Brhad-bhagavatāmṛta it is confirmed by Śrīla Sanatana Gosvāmī pad in the form of some advice coming out from the Lotus mouth of Śrī Naradji Mahārāj to Gopa Kumar that—Time to Time as and when required Bhagavad svarūpa śakti coming in different forms to bestow kripa on us, so they should be given full respect and honour from heart. Also, Śrīman Mahāprabhu never wanted to teach us to ignore or avoid anybody, not even any Demigods like Brahmā, Śiva, Durga, Ganapati etc.

That is why guru-Vaiṣṇavas they always express deep concern about us, though they have no personal anxiety at all. As per Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta we can find that there are basically two categories of jīva: nittya baddha and nittya mukta. Nittya mukta jīvas they have never seen maya, whereas those nittya baddha jīvas they never been out of Māyā. Why Bhagavan doing so? Such question is absurd. We have no right to put such question because the Supreme Lord is always full of sporting mood and He is Himself ānanda moye, līlā moye, icchā moye and full of six opulence’s. He can reserve the right of doing anything and everything. This is not at all His discrimination, rather this can be accepted as the expression of His causeless mercy of His play with all jīvas throughout the infinity worlds. For a game to play need two teams or two parties, but one team must be against the other, and if not so – then the game can never be tasteful. We cannot expect any kind of dissatisfaction demand inside the heart of Bhagavan because He is pūrṇa vastu, but still we should remember that Bhagavan is decorated with infinity diversities — where all countless contra distinction (a distinction made by contrast) must be there.

It is also said that Bhāratavarṣa is the library of the whole world, and just like the sun rises in the east, similarly in the whole world wherever-whatever knowledge regarding jñāna-vijñāna, darśana, mathematics or astrology or technology etc. everything originally came from Bhāratavarṣa.

It is the Land were many came or coming or will come in future to find the complete solution about the actual meaning of life. All most everywhere– in each and every house of those Bhāratavarṣis we can find tulasī, Gaṅgā, śālagrāma, Giriraj, or deities etc. are being worshiped by them three times in a day and also, we can find the recitation of those Holy books like Bhagavad-gītā, Mahābhārat, Ramayan etc. in their house. Surely we must confess that to grow up in such an environment is a great advantage. But the question is that, “Is it really enough to realize God?”
