[During the rāsa-dance, the Gopika is thinking an ordinary human soul (created by God Krishna having His own form) as God.

hri G. Lakshman asked: Padanamaskarams Swami, Oh benevolent Lord, please clarify. When You mentioned that Lord Hanuman is going to be the future Brahma (Creator) the following doubts arose in my mind.

God’s grace is important not only to attain salvation in spiritual life (Nivrutti), but also to attain...

1) Ramanuja told that the world is true but not eternal. It is like the flowing water, which changes constantly with the speed. If the truth of the world is taken as relative truth, there is no difference between Shankara and Ramanuja. Ramanuja spoke about relative truth only keeping silent on the absolute truth. Shankara spoke about absolute truth and the relative truth also. This is not any difference...
