ĹrÄŤ Advaita Prabhu, who is an incarnation of MahÄ-Viᚣášu, is an ÄcÄrya, or teacher. All His activities and all the other activities of Viᚣášu are auspicious. Anyone who can view the all-auspiciousness in the pastimes of Lord Viᚣášu also becomes auspicious simultaneously. Therefore, since Lord Viᚣášu is the fountainhead of auspiciousness, anyone who is attracted by the devotional service of Lord Viᚣášu can render the greatest service to human society. Rejected persons of the material world who refuse to understand pure devotional service as the eternal function of the living entities, and as actual liberation of the living being from conditioned life, become bereft of all devotional service because of their poor fund of knowledge.
In the teachings of Advaita Prabhu there is no question of fruitive activities or impersonal liberation. Bewildered by the spell of the material energy, however, persons who could not understand that Advaita Prabhu is nondifferent from Viᚣášu wanted to follow Him with their impersonal conceptions. The attempt of Advaita Prabhu to punish them is also auspicious. Lord Viᚣášu and His activities can bestow all good fortune, directly and indirectly. In other words, being favored by Lord Viᚣášu and being punished by Lord Viᚣášu are one and the same because all the activities of Viᚣášu are absolute. According to some, Maáš gala was another name of Advaita Prabhu. As the causal incarnation, or Lord Viᚣášuâs incarnation for a particular occasion, He is the supply agent or ingredient in material nature. However, He is never to be considered material. All His activities are spiritual. Anyone who hears about and glorifies Him becomes glorified himself, for such activities free one from all kinds of misfortune. One should not invest any material contamination or impersonalism in the Viᚣášu form. Everyone should try to understand the real identity of Lord Viᚣášu, for by such knowledge one can attain the highest stage of perfection.
