Besides these four daughters, she also had another two sons. One of them was known as Utathya, and the other was the learned scholar Bṛhaspati.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
Besides these four daughters, she also had two sons. One of them was known as Utathya, directly the Lord, and the other was the knower of Brahman, Bṛhaspati.
Bṛhaspati, learned scholar and later guru of the demigods, was born in a household of careful spiritual practice. Great teachers emerge from disciplined homes — your family practice prepares future teachers.
Reflection Questions
  • What teachers might emerge from the discipline I keep in my home?
  • Am I parenting (or being parented) toward greatness or convenience?
