Pankaja_Dasa 1 Report post Posted October 25, 2004 Q: -- With Vaishnavism some may be personally benefited; but what benefit does the world derive from it? A: -- That is not the true position; it may be applicable for archana or ritual worship, and not to those who perform kirtana or recite the glories of God. The ritual worshipper does his rituals for his own personal good; but a reciter does service to the world, nay to all the creatures of the universe, to all beasts and birds, to men and gods, even to trees, creepers and rocks, too; that service is of the highest type. __ By Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur {Published in The Harmonist (Sree Sajjanatoshani) __________ Would need to be doing some kind of Kirtan in streets. /images/graemlins/confused.gif Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
