Study Notes
The Residential House of the Pandavas
- Sri Krsna, the Lord of everything, acted as a minister to the Pandavas and treated their house as His own.
- He did not pay attention to Duryodhana's house, showing preferential treatment to the Pandavas.
Gaudiya Acintya-Bhedabheda-Tattva Philosophy
- According to this philosophy, anything that satisfies the senses of Sri Krsna is also considered Sri Krsna.
- Example: Sri Vrndavana-dhama is nondifferent from Sri Krsna because it provides transcendental bliss to the Lord.
Significance of the Pandavas' House
- The house of the Pandavas was a source of transcendental bliss for Sri Krsna.
- The Lord identified the house with His own Self, making it as good as Vrndavana.
- Vidura should not have given up that place of transcendental bliss, but he took the opportunity to meet Rsi Maitreya and discuss transcendental knowledge.
Vidura's Quitting the House
- The real reason for Vidura quitting the house was not family misunderstanding, but to take advantage of the situation to meet Maitreya Rsi.
- For a saintly person like Vidura, worldly disturbances are insignificant, but can be favorable for higher realization.
Meeting Between Vidura and Maitreya Rsi
- The King asked Sukadeva Gosvami to describe the meeting and discussion between Vidura and Maitreya Rsi.
- Srila Sukadeva Gosvami replied to the King's inquiries, just like Suta Gosvami replied to Saunaka Rsi's inquiries.
