Radhanath Swami explains Kunti's dependence on Holy name

Kunti devi is quite aware that the existence of the pandavas is due to shree Krishna only. Kunti who was the mother of the pandavas knew very well the power and the glory of her five sons. Arjun was the greatest archer. Even Shiva was defeated by him and he was the most intimate friend of shree Krishna. Bhima was the most powerful person in all world with one stroke of his mighty claws he could hundreds of the most powerful elephants. Great Kunti saw with her own eyes as he powerized even the most powerful rakshas.

This is the characteristic of a Vaishnava. Para-dukha-dukhe: a Vaishnava is always unhappy to see the conditioned souls unhappy. Otherwise, he would have no business teaching them how to become happy. In materialistic life, people must certainly engage in activities of animosity. Materialistic life is therefore compared to saàsära-dävänala **, a blazing forest fire that automatically takes place. Lord Shiva and his followers in the paramparä system try to save people from this dangerous condition of materialistic life.

After finishing with so called education, the so call educated persons move like dogs from door to door with applications for some service and mostly they are driven away informed of no vacancy. As dogs are negligible animals and serve the master faithfully for bits of bread and man serves a master faithfully without sufficient rewards.
