Who can be worthy of the name of the Supreme Lord but the Personality of Godhead, \u015ar\u012b K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a? Brahm\u0101j\u012b collected the water emanating from the nails of His feet in order to award it to Lord \u015aiva as a worshipful welcome. This very water [the Ganges] is purifying the whole universe, including Lord \u015aiva.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The conception of many gods in the Vedic literatures by the ignorant is completely wrong. The Lord is one without a second, but He expands Himself in many ways, and this is confirmed in the Vedas.<\/i> Such expansions of the Lord are limitless, but some of them are the living entities. The living entities are not as powerful as the Lord\u2019s plenary expansions, and therefore there are two different types of expansions. Lord Brahm\u0101 is generally one of the living entities, and Lord \u015aiva is the medium between the Lord and the living entities. In other words, even demigods like Lord Brahm\u0101 and Lord \u015aiva, who are the chief amongst all demigods, are never equal to or greater than Lord Vi\u1e63\u1e47u, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The goddess of fortune, Lak\u1e63m\u012b, and all-powerful demigods like Brahm\u0101 and \u015aiva are engaged in the worship of Vi\u1e63\u1e47u or Lord K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a; therefore who can be more powerful than Mukunda (Lord K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a) to be factually called the Supreme Personality of Godhead? The goddess of fortune, Lak\u1e63m\u012bj\u012b, Lord Brahm\u0101 and Lord \u015aiva are not independently powerful; they are powerful as expansions of the Supreme Lord, and all of them are engaged in the transcendental loving service of the Lord, and so also are the living entities. There are four sects of worshipful devotees of the Lord, and the chief amongst them are the Brahma samprad\u0101ya,<\/i> Rudra samprad\u0101ya<\/i> and \u015ar\u012b samprad\u0101ya,<\/i> descending directly from Lord Brahm\u0101, Lord \u015aiva and the goddess of fortune, Lak\u1e63m\u012b, respectively. Besides the above-mentioned three samprad\u0101yas,<\/i> there is the Kum\u0101ra samprad\u0101ya,<\/i> descending from Sanat-kum\u0101ra. All of the four original samprad\u0101yas<\/i> are still scrupulously engaged in the transcendental service of the Lord up to date, and they all declare that Lord K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, Mukunda, is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and no other personality is equal to Him or greater than Him.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
