ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE KRSNA CONSCIOUSNESS MOVMENT PT2
Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.8.23
Los Angeles, April 15, 1973
Devotee:

yatha hrsikesa khalena devaki
kamsena ruddhaticiram sucarpita
vimocitaham ca sahatmaja vibho
tvayaiva nathena muhur vipad-ganat

"O Hrsikesa, master of the senses and Lord of lords, You have released Your mother, Devaki, who was long imprisoned and distressed by the envious King Kamsa, and me and my children from a series of constant dangers."
Prabhupada: So this is the position of devotees, that Devaki who happens to be the mother of Krsna... She's not ordinary woman. Who can become the mother of the Supreme Personality of Godhead? The most advanced devotee, so that Krsna has agreed to become her son. In his previous life, the husband and wife, they underwent severe austerities, and when Krsna appeared before them and wanted to give them benediction, they wanted a son like God. So where can be another person who is equal to God? That is not possible. God means there is no equal. There is no greater. Asamordhva. That is God. God, there cannot be any competition, that "You are God, I am God, he is God, he is God." No. These are dogs. They are not God. God means without competition: one. God is one. Nobody is great... asamordhva. Nobody is greater than Him. Nobody is equal to Him. Everyone is lower. Ekale isvara krsna ara saba bhrtya. The only master is Krsna, God; and everyone, servant. Never mind. Even if he's Brahma, Visnu or Siva, big, big demigods. And what to speak of others?
   Siva-virinci-nutam. In the sastra it is said that He's offered respect by Lord Siva and Lord Brahma. They are the topmost demigods. There are demigods. Above the human beings, there are demigods. As we are human being above the lower creatures, lower animals, similarly, above us there are demigods. And the most important demigod is Lord Brahma, Lord Siva. Lord Brahma is the creator of this universe, and Lord Siva is the destroyer of this universe. And Lord Visnu is the maintainer. Lord Visnu is Krsna Himself. So for the maintenance of this material world there are three gunas, sattva-guna, rajo-guna, tamo-guna. So each one of them has taken charge of one department. So Lord Visnu has taken the department of sattva-guna, and Lord Brahma has taken the department of rajo-guna, and Lord Siva has taken the department of tamo-guna. They are not under the influence of these gunas. Just like a, the superintendent of jail. He's not a prisoner; he's controlling officer. Similarly Lord Siva, Lord Visnu, Lord Brahma, although they are controlling each department, they are not under the controlling department. We may not commit mistake.
