Śrīla Prabhupāda often quotes from the Padma Purāṇa: “Above the worship of Lord Viṣṇu is the rendering of service to Vaiṣṇavas….”
The Srila Prabhupada Connection - Mayapur is all about Vaiṣṇava sevā by focusing on serving the greatest of all Vaiṣṇavas, Śrīla Prabhupāda:
- ➔ We are trying our best to strengthen his mission by deepening our relationships with him so that we can access his śakti, which is imbued with loving compassion.
- ➔ One of the best ways to deepen our relationship with him is by engaging in the six loving exchanges described in Upadeśāmṛta: “Offering gifts in charity, accepting charitable gifts, revealing one’s mind in confidence, inquiring confidentially, accepting prasāda and offering prasāda are the six symptoms of love shared by one devotee and another.”
- We read in the purport: “…simply by reciprocating in these six ways, an ordinary man can fully revive his dormant Kṛṣṇa consciousness.”
