Swami B. V. Tripurari Live Q & A; January 8, 2023: Belonging to a Sampradaya We Differ From

Questions on today’s Swami call:I have heard you say that Sri Madhvacarya taught that jivas are of three kinds; sattvika, rajasika, and tamasika. Only sattvika jivas are eligible for liberation. How did he support this view? Might this view be influenced by the caste system where only brahmins are eligible for liberation? What does it mean to identify as a Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya Vaishnava when Madhva’s view is so different from the Gaudiya perspective on the jiva?In his commentary to Bhagavad-Gita 12.16 that a practitioner may give up certain types teaching scripture if it becomes unfavorable for bhakti. Why would teaching scripture become favorable for bhakti?How do we serve Guru?Sometimes we hear that one can chant less if one has other services, and sometimes that one can sleep less in order to be able to chant more. Which instruction is the most important?
