The Pure Devotee
Haribol! A friend of mine, Gunga Narayan Das is a direct disciple of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. He has explained to me that a pure devotee (like Srila Prabhupada) is not subject to error which is a symptom of the conditioned living being. I am very interested in this teaching - 1. Was it always a part of Vaishnavism? If not, when and with whom did it develop? 2. Is this to be understood as simply an attitude of respect, i.e. "my guru can do no wrong" or is it to be taken literally? 3. What if two pure devotees ever disagree with one another? I have read in the Srimad Bhagavatam of Lord Shiva and Sri Narada debating about something - are they not both pure? 4. Finally, how is the discrepancy resolved when a pure devotee disagrees with observational astronomy data? Thank you for your time. Mark |
