SADHUVANI - Talk Details

[Can we use Das Prabhu, instead of just Prabhu] SP has said that we address each other as a Prabhu because we have a mindset that the other god brother he's a servant of Krishna so we should become his servant like servant of servant so prabhu like in this context we address each other directly by the name and prabhu like so and so prabhu, Ram prabhu, Krishna prabhu. Is it ok to say das also along with prabhu so that it like reinforces that yes he's a servant so he's my prabhu like ram das prabhu or Vishnu das prabhu?

Answer

What is the difficulty in simply calling someone “Prabhu”? There is no difficulty. In fact, it strengthens the right understanding. Because he is a dāsa of Krishna, he is my Prabhu—this becomes a double reinforcement of the proper mood.

But more important than just saying it is feeling it. It should not be mechanical. You don’t have to merely call—you have to genuinely feel that consciousness within.

So when you say, “Yes, Prabhu,” it should come from that inner understanding and respect, not just as a formality.
