Advaita’s Name and Activities Are Always Auspicious
“Being a reservoir of all auspicious attributes, Śrī Advaita Ācārya is all-auspicious for the world. His characteristics, activities and name are always auspicious.”
What the purport teaches
- Śrī Advaita Prabhu is an incarnation of Mahā-Viṣṇu and an ācārya, or teacher. His characteristics, activities and name are always auspicious.
- Anyone who sees the all-auspiciousness in Lord Viṣṇu’s pastimes also becomes auspicious. One attracted by His devotional service can render the greatest service to human society.
- Pure devotional service is the eternal function of living entities and actual liberation from conditioned life. Refusing to understand this leaves one bereft of devotional service.
