Krsna First Taught Vedic Knowledge To Brahma, Therefore We Belong To The Brahma Sampradaya

[Gavin Swinden]

(In this way He instructed ādi-kavi, the first learned man—*kavi *means learned man—Brahmā, Vedic knowledge. So there was no other teacher. Kṛṣṇa taught him. Therefore we belong to the Brahma-sampradāya) 

 

"So what was the realization of Brahmā after tapasya? Now, gandham iva atisūkṣmaṁ bhūtendriya. Just like Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā, *puṇyo gandhaḥ pṛthivyāṁ ca *(BG 7.9): "I am the smell within the earth." So everyone knows there is smell within the earth, there is color within the earth.

 

Everything is there within the earth; otherwise how in a particular plant the color and the smell, the flavor and everything is . . . beauty, everything is coming? You daily see. So ordinarily you see heaps of dirt, but everything is there. Similarly, ordinarily we see this universe, but in every atom there is Kṛṣṇa.

 

That was realized by Brahmā. Then he became the great personality to teach us. *Tene brahma hṛdā ādi-kavaye *(SB 1.1.1). In this way He instructed ādi-kavi, the first learned man—*kavi *means learned man—Brahmā, Vedic knowledge. So there was no other teacher. Kṛṣṇa taught him.

 

Therefore we belong to the Brahma-sampradāya. Kṛṣṇa instructed Brahmā. Brahmā instructed Nārada. Nārada instructed Vyāsadeva. Vyāsadeva instructed Śukadeva. In this way our *guru-paramparā *system.

Therefore we worship the *guru *as *Vyāsa-pūjā *because representative of Vyāsa. And who is Vyāsa? Representative of Nārada. What is Nārada? Representative of Brahmā. What is Brahmā? Representative of Kṛṣṇa. This is called *paramparā *system."
