1-5: Sati leaves Lord Siva
1. Describe Sati’s dilemma. WBN on husband-wife relationship based on 4P.
Sati was one hand very desirous of attending the sacrifice at her father's home and meet all her relatives, however, on the other hand, she was afraid of Lord Siva's warning that Daksha may not receive her properly.
Husband Wife Relationship:
Husband and Wife are incomplete without each other.Women may sometimes get attracted to their family members and may neglect their marriage. If a woman is tolerant and intelligent and self-realized there is no possibility of separation in the marriage.
6-10: Sati gets a cold response from Daksa’s camp
2. Describe the neglect by Daksa and remorse of Sati. Give SP’s instructions on bodily relationships (8P).
Her father did not acknowledge her presence, nor did he welcome her by asking about her well-being.
Therefore Sati felt very uncomfortable and could not accept the seat and gifts offered to her her mother, sister's and aunts.
Bodily relationships are very weak and transient- they get disturbed as soon as there is a slight provocation or disagreement between those related by the body.
11-23: Sati condemns Daksa
3. Write the different levels of sädhu and asädhu (BS p. 45). Elaborate based on 12P.
4. How did Sati glorify Lord Siva in front of Daksa? WBN on “Power of the dust of a Vaiñëava” based on 13P.
His name purifies one of all sinful activities
His order is never neglected
His fame is always pure
His Lotus Feet are sought after by materialists and transcendentalists
He is the friend of the universe
Great personalities like rahma carry the flowers offered to Lord Siva's Lotus Feet on their head
Power of Dust of a Vaishnava:
The dust of the lotus feet of a vaishnava offers all blessings to a vaishnava who serves the great vaishnavas however for one who offends a vaishnava the same dust can cause the offender to repeatedly fall down.
5. “It is better to execute one’s own occupational duty than to criticize others.” Elaborate based on 19P.
Elevated transcendentalists are not obliged to follow the rules and regulations for the general masses, therefore one must follow their own duties properly and not criticize others.
6. How to respond to the blasphemy of Vaiñëavas? Quote 4.4.17 karëau pidhäya…
One should block their ears and leave the place if they cannot punish the blasphemer. ( Brahmana)
If one can kill, then they should cut the tongue of the blasphemer and kill him( Ksatriya)
and after that give up their own life( Vaisyas and Sudras)
24-27: Sati gives up her body
7. What is the ultimate aim of yoga? (25P)
Liberation of the soul from material encagement and attain to the Lotus Feet of Krishna
8. How did mother Sati give up her body? Give comments by SP about (i) Good association (26P), Perfection of yoga samädhi, the effect of chanting (27P).
She sat facing north in saffron clothes,did acamana and then practiced mystic yoga. She raised her life air to the middle of her eyebrows.
She meditated on the fiery air within her body and , meditating on the Lotus feet of her husband she became cleansed of all material contamination and quit her body in the blazing fire.
Good Association
One should not associate with persons who are atheists, materialists and do not respect higher authorities, If one wants to be liberated one must associate with great souls.
Perfection of yoga samadhi, the effect of chanting
Is to meditate on the Lotus Feet of Lord Krishna and achieve the highest eternal bliss. By chanting one is freed from the material contamination and one remains in blissful meditation about the Lord.
28-34: Great cry arises from the sky; The fight
9. Describe the hardheartedness of Daksa and elaborate based on the purport
Daksha a prajapati was supposed to look after the maintainence of all living entitites but he overlooked the well being of his own daughter and allowed her to die.
Because he is hatrd hearted he was considered unworthy to be a brahamana.
