Can a devotee of sadhasiva go from Kailasa to Goloka if he desires?

Can a devotee of sadhasiva go from Kailasa to Goloka if he desires?

Please find enclosed a picture of geography of spiritual world , some devotee has made based on Brahma samihita verses..they have indicated the verse number in the left side of each layer.

As per this sada shiva in kailaasam is situated beyond viraga river. So devotees serving there are eternal and they have a constitutional position there.

(KRISHNA, VISHNU, NARAYANA, SIVA – DIFFERENCES! READ HERE!)

So souls who belong constitutionally to this part of spiritual world..will they automatically be directed by Krishna to follow saiva siddhantam so as to enable them reach their constitutioinal position, which is what naayanmaars followed and attained.

Supposing a soul who belongs to Kailaasam practices Krishna consciousness, what will happen to his destination?

Also if such a person practices Krishna consciousness and continues to worship sada shiva in relation to Krishna, what will be his destination?

In both cases the soul may not know how to serve Lord Shiva in Kailaasam.

The reason I am asking this is I was born in a family which follows shiva siddhanta tradition ( their current practices are not so strong as we do in KC, as they are not associated directly with any mutt, external practices are less but internally perhaps they have more love for Shiva than I have for Krishna). I happened to meet Krishna conscious devotees and practice the same for many years..but I still feel some pinprick somewhere..as when my parents ask me why was I made to be born in saiavite family , I don’t have an answer yet.

I don’t know where I belong constitutionally and which path I should choose or Krishna will take care of this and make the necessary choices. I am confused..though I continue my practices.. Hope Krishna inspires you to answer appropriately.

REPLY:

Not only from Kailasa to Goloka, from wherever you practice Krishna Consciousness, you will reach Krishna if you desire so and try for it.  Our free will will exist wherever we go. Neither sadhasiva nor Krishna interferes in our freewill.

You may be in a heavenly planet with celestials. You may be worshiping Krishna from there. Still you will reach Krishna.

(Why Gopis worshiped Lord Siva & Katyayini, Not Krishna? READ HERE!)

But, it is very difficult to reach Krishna from heavens because there will be only enjoyments and there will be no problems.

Problems are the pulling factors towards God.

Kunti devi prayed to Krishna to give her more and more problems so that she will always remember Krishna.

So, to go closer to God, we should be pushed by the problems.

It is not possible from heavens.

Earth is the best planet to practice devotion because, here you face problems and also some pleasures.

If you enjoy pleasures, you will have rebirth and you can’t think of God.

If you face pains, you can go closer to the God as your attachments with the material life may come down.

So, pains are welcome.

Of course, the place where Sadhasiva lives is a spiritual planet.

I have already posted a post about it as given below:

(3 TYPES OF SIVA – IN VAIKUNTA, INTERMEDIATE & MATERIAL WORLDS! READ HERE!)

When a devotee worships Sadhasiva, he can go back to Sadhasiva.

When he reaches Spiritual Kailash, he may be more attached to Sadhasiva.

So, usually, a devotee in spiritual kailasa will be in the thoughts of Sadhasiva.

In case a devotee’s Krishna Consciousness is awakened in spiritual Kailasa also, he may worship Krishna from there.

The purity level required to go back to Krishna and sadhasiva are different.

So, if that devotee practices Krishna consciousness in Spiritual Kailasa, he should enhance his purity level to get qualified to enter into Krishna’s kingdom.

If he successfully attains it, he can get shifted from Spiritual Kailasa to Goloka.

But, there will be more difficulty for a sadasiva devotee to practice Krishna Consciousness from the spiritual Kailasa.

(If Lord Rama worshiped Siva, does that mean Siva is superior to Rama? READ HERE!)

A devotee can go back to Krishna from the earth with lesser distractions than from Kailash.

Because in Kailash, he will be having more diversion towards Sadhasiva.

You have also asked about whether Krishna will direct the devotees of sadhasiva to worship Sadhasiva further.

Yes, DEFINITELY.

Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita (7-21) that if a person worships a demigod, Krishna makes his faith steady on that demigod so that he can devote himself to that particular deity.

If Krishna establishes the faith of the devotee even on demigods, why can’t He do the same for the devotees of sadhasiva to worship Sadhasiva deeply?

Whichever demigod you worship, Krishna encourages to worship that demigod.

Krishna is not selfish to pressurize you to worship Him only.

(Are Siva and Brahma subject to karma and death like us? READ HERE!)

He also says in the Gita that though one worships demigods, he worships Krishna only indirectly.

So, though you worship Sadhasiva, you indirectly worship Krishna only. So, being a person from Saivite family, you need not feel guilt as if you are deviating from Lord Siva.  I too took birth in a Vedic brahmana family that followed advaita and my Kulaguru is the revered Sankaracharya (Late) Sri Chandrasekarendra Sarasvati of Kanchipuram, near Chennai, a lineage of Sri Adhi Shankara.  Still I accepted Krishna AS THE SUPREME LORD and got a Bonafide Harinam Diksha guru from Gaudiya Vaishnava sampradhaya (ISKCON).

Because Krishna gave that realization that made me embrace Him as my Supreme Deity of worship. That is why, I never write criticizing other deities as they are also vaishnavas and it leads to Vaishnava Offense that can’t be cleared.

As per the discussion between Siva and Parvati in Mahabharatha titled as “SIVA-PARVATI DISCUSSION”, Lord Siva himself is meditating on Krishna. So, if you worship Krishna, Siva in fact will be happy as He is the best Vaishnava.

If a devotee worships both Krishna and Siva being aware that Krishna is the Supreme personality of Godhead, in due course of time, he will become a pure devotee of Krishna.

So, what we preach is, Why can’t we approach Krishna directly when all worships mean the indirect worship of Krishna only?

We can touch the nose directly easily. Why should we touch the nose by taking our hand around the head?

That is why, in my writings, I am strongly promoting this manthra:

WORSHIP KRISHNA AS SUPREME LORD; NEVER INSULT OTHER GODS AND GIVE ALL HONOURS DUE TO THEM.

By following this manthra, I am extremely happy and enjoying my spiritual journey.

I encourage al to follow this manthra. It is the best way of worshiping Krishna and also getting the blessings of all the gods to come up in our devotion to Krishna.

So, it is possible to go from Kailasa to Goloka if a devotee of Sadhasiva wishes to go from Kailasa to Goloka.
