Difference between a mayawadi and a pure devotee

There are many so-called devotees who think that in the conditioned state we may worship the Personality of Godhead but that ultimately there is no personality; they say that since the Absolute Truth is impersonal, one can imagine a personal form of the impersonal Absolute Truth for the time being, but as soon as one becomes liberated the worship stops. That is the theory put forward by the Mayavada philosophy. Actually the impersonalists do not merge into the existence of the Supreme Person but into His personal bodily luster, which is called the brahmajyoti. Although that brahmajyoti is not different from His personal body, that sort of oneness (merging into the bodily luster of the Personality of Godhead) is not accepted by a pure devotee because the devotees engage in greater pleasure than the so-called pleasure of merging into His existence.

Krishnatmika Rukmini - Completed(OS Updations)
She sat there on the floor, tears flowing from her beautiful Lotus shaped eyes, hands trembling, desperate to word her thoughts. she kept the paper on the queen sized bed. She took the peacock feather and gently dipped it in the ink and slowly raised it with the ink dripping from the end and started writing. Everyone's familiar with divine vrindavan leela of Krishna and devotional love of radha. World, to commemorate their eternal love, takes the name of radha before krishna. But a very few understands the essence of Rukmini's love towards Krishna. Rukmini is the primary wife of Sri Krishna and chief Queen of Dwaraka. She was the beloved, most favourite wife of Krishna, and hence called Krishnatmika, the one residing in the heart of Krishna. In this book, I have tried my best to describe their divine love story. Hope you will enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing this. (Even though the story is not entirely fictional and is taken from the Mahabharata, it contains fictional scenes purely from my imagination. So I just want to say that it is not my intention to hurt anybody's feelings or religious sentiments) Cover image credit goes to its respective owner

Radheya-Priya Vrushali Padmavati: Soul-mate of a Surya Putra (Karna Series 2)
This is the untold story of a wife of one of the most promising and remarkable archer of Mahabharata. Karna. This girl loved him unconditionally from the very bottom of her heart and was witness of his endless pain, suffering, dilemma and agony to prove himself. She was a very simple maid who became a queen by her own merit. She loved a man whose own heart was already broken by death of his lover and she warmed his heart. She saw his pain, she had supported him, she had suffered for him, but she felt ignored by the coming of two other wives of him. However she loved them both as her own baby sisters and both of them also respected her with their whole heart. She suffered tremendously by his avoidance and then falling one after another for two other beautiful wives. But she did not try to complain. She helped him. She suffered by loosing her nine sons one after another and then by her husband Karna and her two baby sisters Supriya and Uruvi. What if she was an immortal being as the Manas Kanya of Brahma Dev?!! How could she cope up with the pain and endless agony of loosing her children one after another?!! From her only son Vrishasen to Supriya Putra her dearest Vrishaketu and Uruvi Kanya her beloved Padmaja?!! She is daughter of Brahma Dev in two previous births. So She is Brahma Dev Manas Putri too like Devi Supriya and Devi Ganga. She is known as Brahma Putri Vrushali in her previous birth as the wife of estranged Gandarv Prince Biswa Bhanu (previous life of Karna). It is my purely fan fiction story based on the epic Mahabharata. I don't want to hurt anyone's religious sentiments or believes. Even I don't want to change the course of entire Mahabharata. I follow the Bengali version of Mahabharata by Kashiram Das. The pictures were taken from the public domains. Images courtesy: Pinterest, Google Chrome and YouTube.Complete
