Guest: Who is Śiva?
Prabhupāda: Śiva is Śiva.
Guest: No, Kārttikeya, who...? Daitya...?
Prabhupāda: That's all right, but Śiva is Śiva.
Guest: Śiva, is he not a god?
Prabhupāda: He's a demigod.
Guest: Devi-god.
Prabhupāda: Demigod, not devi-god. Demigod.
Guest: He is also god.
Prabhupāda: Yes. God, you are also god.
Guest: We are also, get the same reward through the Hare Rāma Kṛṣṇa mūrti.
Prabhupāda: No, no.
Guest: That is, increases, eh?
Prabhupāda: If you chant Hare Kṛṣṇa you'll get the different result. And if you chant Śiva's name you'll get different result.
Guest: Which is the best?
Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa.
Yamunā: Haribol!
Prabhupāda: If you chant Lord Śiva's name you will get material opulence, but if you chant Lord Viṣṇu's name, then you'll be transferred to the spiritual world. So we have to be very cautious. Just like a person, after being freed from the diseased condition, he is in convalescent stage. In convalescent, again if he does something wrong, the disease is relapse. Then, at that time, one has to be very careful, not that "Because I have become liberated, I'll do anything," no. That is going on. Just like we Indians, we have become independent, and therefore we are doing anything we like and we are conditioned now again.
