Srila Isvara Puri is the disciple of Srila Madhavendra Puri. Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who is Krishna Himself, descended on earth 500 years ago to launch the Hare Krishna sankirtana movement and accepted Srila Isvara Puri as His spiritual master. Such is the exalted position of Srila Isvara Puri. On Saturday afternoon, on his sacred disappearance day, we will read the glories of Srila Isvara Puri along with continuation of Ajamila story in Srimad Bhagavatam.
On the eve of Shiv Ratri, the Sunday afternoon program will consist of discussion of Lord Shiva's position and a Vaishnava's perspective of Lord Shiva. The readings will be from a collection of writings from our Acharya Srila Prabhupada.
"It is said, vaisnavanam yatha sambhuh: Lord Siva is the best of all devotees. Therefore all devotees of Lord Krsna are also devotees of Lord Siva... A devotee of Lord Krsna does not disrespect Lord Siva but worships Lord Siva as the most exalted devotee of Lord Krsna. Consequently, whenever a devotee worships Lord Siva, he prays to Lord Siva to achieve the favor of Krsna, and he does not request material profit. " -- Srila Prabhupada, purport to Srimad Bhagavatam 4.24.30
