Salagram: Satisfied by Devotion
From Damana Krishna dasa
Posted February 7, 2004

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I have seen many Deities made from silas glued together, like Padmanabha in Trivandrum. I don't think that Krishna is uncomfortable. Rather, I see that He likes to be embraced in all his forms. One devotee told he dreamed his silas had some meeting and were discussing things. I am grateful to Krishna that He at all came to the material world, which is a horrible place where there is a lack of purity, spiritual energy, etc.

So out of His causeless mercy, He is already doing the greatest austerity. I am sure all the silas came just because of the extraordinary devotion of HH Bhakti Vallabha Puri Maharaja, and this is what is making them happy.

Krishna is always blissful, but still he responds to devotion. Maharaja's devotion seems huge, so Krishna came in a huge number. I am happy we have such devotees around. Still, I am so unfortunate that I have never had his association.

Your servant,
Damana Krishna dasa
