Lord Shiva 48 miles tall!

Notes from Shrila Prabhupada class: “A rich man’s son has no need to labour for wealth. Similarly, a surrendered devotee has no need for yogic powers. For example Durvasa Muni had a lot of yogic powers, and he tried to curse Ambarish Maharaja. But because Ambarish was a surrendered devotee, Krishna personally protected him by sending the sudarshan chakra to get Durvasa.”

Notes from Shyamasundara prabhu’s class: “Sadaputa’s book states that there is a pastime where Lord Shiva is meditating on the size of a tree where one sixth of that size is the size of a human being. By this calculation, the height of Lord Shiva is 48 miles. We cannot imagine the size of the devas. They look at human beings as ants!”
