Adi6.53

TEXT 53

krsna-premera ei eka apurva prabhava

guru-sama-laghuke karaya dasya-bhava

SYNONYMS

krsna-premera—of love of Krsna; ei—this; eka—one; apurva prabhava—unprecedented influence; guru—to those on the level of the spiritual master; sama—equal level; laghuke—unto the less important; karaya—makes; dasya-bhava—the conception of being a servant.

TRANSLATION

Love for Krsna has this one unique effect: it imbues superiors, equals and inferiors with the spirit of service to Lord Krsna.

PURPORT

There are two kinds of devotional service: the way of pancaratrika regulative principles and the way of bhagavata transcendental loving service. The love of Godhead of those engaged in pancaratrika regulative principles depends more or less on the opulent and reverential platform, but the worship of Radha and Krsna is purely on the platform of transcendental love. Even persons who play as the superiors of Krsna also take the chance to offer transcendental loving service to the Lord. The service attitude of the devotees who play the parts of superiors of the Lord is very difficult to understand, but can be very plainly understood in connection with the superexcellence of their particular service to Lord Krsna. A vivid example is the service of mother Yasoda to Krsna, which is distinct. In the feature of Narayana, the Lord can accept services only from His associates who play parts in which they are equal to or less than Him, but in the feature of Lord Krsna He accepts service very plainly from His fathers, teachers and other elders who are His superiors, as well as from His equals and His subordinates. This is very wonderful.

TEXT 76

anera ki katha, baladeva mahasaya

yanra bhava--suddha-sakhya-vatsalyadi-maya

SYNONYMS

anera—of others; ki katha—what to speak; baladeva—Lord Baladeva; mahasaya—the Supreme Personality; yanra—His; bhava—emotion; suddha-sakhya—pure friendship; vatsalya-adi-maya—with a touch of paternal love.

TRANSLATION

What to speak of others, even Lord Baladeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is full of emotions like pure friendship and paternal love.

PURPORT

Although Lord Baladeva appeared before the birth of Lord Krsna and is therefore Krsna’s worshipable elder brother, He used to act as Krsna’s eternal servitor. In the spiritual sky all the Vaikuntha planets are predominated by the quadruple expansions of Krsna known as the catur-vyuha. They are direct expansions from Baladeva. It is the singularity of the Supreme Lord that everyone in the spiritual sky thinks himself a servitor of the Lord. According to social convention one may be superior to Krsna, but factually everyone engages in His service. Therefore in the spiritual sky or the material sky, in all the different planets, no one is able to supersede Lord Krsna or demand service from Him. On the contrary, everyone engages in the service of Lord Krsna. As such, the more a person engages in the service of the Lord, the more he is important; and, conversely, the more one is bereft of the transcendental service of Krsna, the more he invites the bad fortune of material contamination. In the material world, although materialists want to become one with God or compete with God, everyone directly or indirectly engages in the service of the Lord. The more one is forgetful of the service of Krsna, the more he is considered to be dying. Therefore, when one develops pure Krsna consciousness, he immediately develops his eternal servitorship to Krsna.

Adi6.79

TEXT 79

ananta brahmande rudra--sadasivera amsa

gunavatara tenho, sarva-deva-avatamsa

SYNONYMS

ananta—unlimited; brahmande—in the universes; rudra—Lord Siva; sadasivera amsa—part and parcel of Sadasiva; guna-avatara—an incarnation of a quality; tenho—he also; sarva-deva-avatamsa—the ornament of all the demigods.

TRANSLATION

Rudra, who is an expansion of Sadasiva and who appears in unlimited universes, is also a gunavatara [qualitative incarnation] and is the ornament of all the demigods in the endless universes.

PURPORT

There are eleven expansions of Rudra, or Lord Siva. They are as follows: Ajaikapat, Ahibradhna, Virupaksa, Raivata, Hara, Bahurupa, Devasrestha Tryambaka, Savitra, Jayanta, Pinaki and Aparajita. Besides these expansions there are eight forms of Rudra called earth, water, fire, air, sky, the sun, the moon and soma-yaji. Generally all these Rudras have five faces, three eyes and ten arms. Sometimes it is found that Rudra is compared to Brahma and considered a living entity. But when Rudra is explained to be a partial expansion of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he is compared to Sesa. Lord Siva is therefore simultaneously an expansion of Lord Visnu and, in his capacity for annihilating the creation, one of the living entities. As an expansion of Lord Visnu he is called Hara, and he is transcendental to the material qualities, but when he is in touch with tamo-guna he appears contaminated by the material modes of nature. This is explained in Srimad-Bhagavatam and the Brahma-samhita. In Srimad-Bhagavatam, Tenth Canto, it is stated that Lord Rudra is always associated with the material nature when she is in the neutral, unmanifested stage, but when the modes of material nature are agitated he associates with material nature from a distance. In the Brahma-samhita the relationship between Visnu and Lord Siva is compared to that of milk and yogurt. Milk is converted into yogurt by certain additives, but although milk and yogurt have the same ingredients, they have different functions. Similarly, Lord Siva is an expansion of Lord Visnu, yet because of his taking part in the annihilation of the cosmic manifestation, he is considered to be changed, like milk converted into yogurt. In the Puranas it is found that Durga appears sometimes from the heads of Brahma and sometimes from the heads of Visnu. The annihilator, Rudra, is born from Sankarsana and the ultimate fire to burn the whole creation. In the Vayu Purana there is a description of Sadasiva in one of the Vaikuntha planets. That Sadasiva is a direct expansion of Lord Krsna’s form for pastimes. It is said that Sadasiva (Lord Sambhu) is an expansion from the Sadasiva in the Vaikuntha planets (Lord Visnu) and that his consort, Mahamaya, is an expansion of Ramadevi, or Laksmi. Mahamaya is the origin or birthplace of material nature.
