See Viśvanāth Cakravarti ṭīkā of S.Bhagavata 3.7.10. Since there is no cause there is no injustice.<br />2. The mukta jiva's liberation is also beginningless and thus causeless.advaitadashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562361400492002096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15485481.post-64988354948627899302015-03-11T12:06:12.824+01:002015-03-11T12:06:12.824+01:00Thank you advaitadasji...

Wouldn't it be unfair that some tatastha Sakti jivas (nitya siddhas) never had to face the wrath of Maya while some others like us have to... Also when everything in Vaikuntha is a manifestation of parashakti(or swarupa shakti), how can a subordinate entity ( i.e. tatastha Sakti jivas) live there from anaadi kala(or beginningless time) without undergoing sadhana. U was of the opinion that all Nitya siddhas were also manifestation of parashakti of Sri Hari and anadi baddha jivas were kshetrajna shakti (or tatastha shakti).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05886738595988014370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15485481.post-30402739676048846722015-03-10T04:45:02.523+01:002015-03-10T04:45:02.523+01:00The only difference is their onthological status a...The only difference is their onthological status as either swarūp or tatastha.

Advaita Prabhu being Sadashiva and Mahavishnu does not exclude Him being other personalities as well. Most associates of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu have multiple personalities in Krishna Lila.<br />3. Manjari Bhava has been coming from Advaita Prabhu, who is Rati Manjari in Krishna Lila, all the way down to the present day in unbroken manjari parampara. Advaita Vamsa Goswami Ananda Gopal Goswami's commentaries on Vilapa Kusumanjali have become world famous by being quoted by several world preachers.advaitadashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562361400492002096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15485481.post-69313122836874143772015-01-21T08:17:03.590+01:002015-01-21T08:17:03.590+01:00Ok thank you for your answer...

I was wondering if some books based on philosophy and Vedanta of the Goswamins and Sri Baladeva Vidyabhushana free from iskcon influence were present on the net. Would love to read the actual teachings of our sampraday. Also I read in one of your article that Advaita Acharya is a Manjari. But I thought that he was an avatar of Mahavisnu and Sadasiva.

The reason may be because the emblems of four armed Narayan are not conducive to the desired feeling of a raganuga Vaishnava who worships only the two armed Lord Krishna.
