Sri Krsnadasa Kaviraja, the author of Caitanya-caritamrta, says that all good qualities become manifest in the body of a Vaisnava and that only by the presence of these good qualities can one distinguish a Sanatan-Dharma follower (Vaisnava) from a non-Vaisnava. Krsnadasa Kaviraja lists the twenty-six qualities of a Sanatan-Dharma follower (a Vaisnava): . He is very kind to everyone . He does not make anyone his enemy . He is truthful . He is equal to everyone . No one can find any fault in him . He is magnanimous . He is mild . He is always clean . He is without possessions . He works for everyone’s benefit . He is very peaceful . He is always surrendered to Krishna . He has no material desires . He is very meek . He is steady . He controls his senses . He does not eat more than required . He is not influenced by the Lord’s illusory energy . He offers respect to everyone . He does not desire any respect for himself . He is very grave . He is merciful . He is friendly . He is poetic . He is expert One must strive to develop all the above good qualities. Our own endeavours can only take us to a certain level but ultimate goal will be attained only by the mercy of Vaishnavas and mercy of Krishna. Please accept my humble obeisances All glories to Srila Gurudeva ... All glories to Srila Prabhupada ... Always think of the Lotus Feet of Lord Krishna and you will find no difficulties in executing the tasks allotted to you by Krishna.
