The Question was &#8220;Are You a Vaishnav?&#8221; I said &#8220;No&#8221; and so nothing was explained in Detail..<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes Later I met With Devotees in ISKCON, who Gave me many many opportunities to not only Know the Supreme Truth but also the guidance on the Path Reaching back to him.<\/p>\n<p>I realized My Question was so Beautifully answered by Srila Prabhupad through his Writings in his books and through his amazing Disciples.<\/p>\n<p>Finally I knew A Vaishnav is more intelligent than even a Brahmana&#8230; Because he fulfills The actual Purpose of All The knowledge of Vedas.. by serving Krishna out of  Unmotivated and Unalloyed Love and Devotion&#8230; He is Actually \u201cAhaituki Apratihata\u201d..<\/p>\n<p>Thus he is most intelligent.. as he always acts to please Krishna.. and to serve his devotees..<\/p>\n<p>A Vaishnav is more Brave than a Kshatriya, Because He tolerates all insults to himself and valiantly fights Mayadevi being determinant to Only Serve Krishna, Guru and Vaishnavas&#8230; He is always righteous.. and stands firm on his Principals&#8230; whatever price he has to pay.. he will never do anything that will not be for the pleasure of Krishna..<\/p>\n<p>A Vaishnav is smarter than a Vaishya.. Because he always thinks of the ultimate benifit of all beings by always trying to engage them in Krishna Seva.. Which is never a loss&#8230; and losing yourself to Krishna means the complete gain&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>And Despite of many such Wonderful Qualities&#8230; In his Heart .. A Vaishnav is more Humble than a Shudra&#8230;He is Always \u201cTrnadapi sunicena.. Tarorapi sahishnuna.. amaanina maan dena.. kirtaniya sada Hari&#8230;\u201d and in such a state he Humbly serves.. Constantly Glorifying the Lord&#8230; and Gives all credit.. always to Krishna Guru and Vaishnavs&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Such a Vaishnav is never Bounded by his Birth in any Varna(religion) but Satisfies the Essence of All Religious Principles..<\/p>\n<p>as it is said..<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;kiba vipra, kiba nyasi, sudra kene nayayei krishna-tattva-vetta, sei &#8216;guru&#8217; haya&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> &#8212;&#8220;Whether one is a brahmana, a sannyasi or a sudra &#8212; regardless of what he is &#8212; he can become a spiritual master if he knows the science of Krishna.&#8221; -(Caitanya Caritamrita Madhya 8.128 ).<\/p>\n<p>All Glories To Srila Prabhupad.<\/p>\n<p>A fallen Aspirant<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Raveena Emmanuel: Years Before In my Quest to know more about the Blue Boy, I reached a Spiritual Abode(need not mention where) <!--more--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[93],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog-thoughts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11883\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
