Like Manindranath Guha "The Holy Name is a Vaikuntha substance (Bhag. 6.2.14) that is, a substance without mutilation it

does not become impure in any condition it does not not become corrupted by incursion of the faults

of an offender or, in the semblance of the name it is not changed."

Surays, give an interpretation on this verse.

Let us try to work out what a "pure devotee" is first.

 

What is a "pure devotee"?

 

Purely devoted to who/what?

 

What does that depend on?

 

What does it include?

 

What does it exclude?

 

By whose estimation are we to accept, (with regard to who “determines”) that which is believed acceptable: included and/or excluded?

On a lighter vein,

 

What is a "pure devotee"?

Any gaudiya vaishnava. The converse is true too.

 

This reminds me of a list of definitions I had found on another list a long time back by a like minded person. Here they are,

 

//////////////////////////////////////

 

>avatar (avatara)

 

Any avatara of Vishnu=krishna. Any other avataara was sent by Vishnu to mislead

people (especially people like me).

 

>Bhagavat Purana

 

THE saatvic puraana. Any other puraana is saatvic when it praises Vishnu, or

someone introduced spurious verses into them once in a while showing that Vishnu

worshiped Shiva. Shiva puraana is ofcourse for hedonists who will rot later in

the planet of the faithless.

 

>Bhagavad Gita

 

The song divine. The one and only interpretation to consult is ISKCON's. No one

else knows anything. Infact, scholars have come across a new copy of the Paadma

puraana which has a verse showing the superiority of ISKCON's Gita translation

to all other translations.

 

>bhaki

 

I presume you want to know about bhakthi. bhakthi=worship of Krishna.

Worshiping any other demigods will make grass sprout from your ears.

 

>Brahman

 

=krishna ofcourse. Any verses from anywhere telling something like

rudra=brahman must be dismissed. This will then make everything thoroughly

consistent. There is no logic in this procedure, but people who point this out

are indulging in chest beating. So don't you dare do any such thing.

 

>karma

 

There are two types, good and bad Karmas. Good karma=agreeing with ISKCON. Any

thing else is baaaad karma.

 

>maya

 

A concept introduced by Advaitins. The fallacy of this system is ofcourse well

known. Hence, intelligent people don't spend too much time listening to Advaita.

 

>Prabhpada

 

A person who provides imaginative translations of Hindu scriptures.

 

>Ramakrishna

 

A deluded person.

 

>Vaishnavite (Vaishnava, Vaishnavism)

 

THE true religion. Dismissing verses in scriptures which don't say that

Vaishnavism is THE religion, makes Vaishnavism the pinnacle of logical

achievement and consistency.

 

>Vedanta Society

 

An abominable society which actually dares to spout views which ISKCON doesn't

agree with. Founded by a hedonist.

 

>Vivekananda

 

A hedonist who was half maayaavadi and half shuunya vaadi. He ate meat (gasp).

Founded the Vedanta society. Present location - planet of the faithless.

 

/////////////////////////////////////////

 

Cheers

Zastric references would be helpful to you Suryas.

Brahman = dual-nondifferentiated consciousNess.

 

Cheers.
