All glories to Srila Prabhupada

thank you very much for this advice to read SB.4.6 (Brahmā satisfies Lord Śiva)

SB.4.6.5 : Srila Prabhupada talks in purport about how easily Śiva can be satisfied.

SB.4.6.9 - 4.6.33 wonderful description of Kailāsa Śiva's abode.

Is this Kailāsa in Śiva-Loka?.....or in bhumandala over here ,this Kailāsa mountain?

ASA - We can't comment on such technical issues. In general, where ever the President of the United States goes, that is the Capitol of the USA, no?

When Brahma and the demigods came to the banyan tree, they saw Śiva absorbed in deep meditation, remembering the form of Viṣṇu in his heart. (smaraṇam.)

SB.4.6.35 : Lord Śiva is full of wisdom and tapasya, austerity.Lord Śiva is described here as adhīśvara. Īśvara means "controller," and adhīśvara specifically means "controller of the senses." Śiva's senses are so purified and perfect that he is absorbed in the devotional service of the Lord for 24 hours. Lord Śiva is the greatest vaishnava.

Reading the purports of Srila Prabhupada, he explains that Lord Śiva is all-time brahmānanda. When one is completely absorbed in the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is beyond the sense perception of materialistic people.

he is always thinking how to liberate the demons from their fallen state of life.

In the last verse 4.6.53. Srila Prabhupada describes very well what pleased all the demigods in this age: the performance of saṅkīrtana-yajña by chanting the holy names Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. In this age, the performance of sacrifices has been simplified: one can chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, and by pleasing Kṛṣṇa, one can automatically please all the demigods.

So try to serve Kṛṣṇa as much as possible...chanting, reading, preaching, distributing prasadam, Lord Śiva will be very pleased :)

It was really inspiring to read this chapter from SB on Śiva Ratri and remember the greatest devotee of Kṛṣṇa who is absorbed in devotional service for 24 hours, may he bless us with his bhakti
