Question: Kindly clarify if a Vaishnavi can deliver her parents and her 14 generations or her husband’s parents and the 14 generations of her husband.
Kindly clarify as to the position of a Vaishnavi in delivering her generations.
Answer by Romapada Swami:
Srila Prabhupada mentions “by serving the Supreme Lord, one gives the best service to the family, because if one becomes a Vaiṣṇava, pure Vaiṣṇava, the whole family, up to fourteen generations, they become liberated.” (Excerpt from Lecture on SB 3.25.44 — Bombay, December 12, 1974)
So definitely the family members of a pure Vaishnavi (like one’s parents) also get the opportunity for devotional service in their next life.
Also please refer to Digest 00408 for further clarifications.
