Glories of a Pure Devotee

Digest 00682: Are the blessings and curses of devotees as powerful as Krishna’s blessings and curses?

Written by Romapada Swami

Question: Are the blessings and curses of devotees as powerful as Kṛṣṇa’s blessings and curses? Do devotees who follow bhakti have such power?

Answer by Romapada Swami:

Everything depends upon purity.

Srīla Prabhupāda had desires and you have desires. He is a devotee and you are a devotee. Is his blessing the same as yours?

And if a pure devotee gives a blessing, that is the same as Krsna’s giving blessing, because he is cent-percent acting on behalf of Kṛṣṇa.

Therefore, everything is resting on the purity, or transparency of Krsna’s will.
