Dhruva Maharaja Stepped on the Head of Death
In his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, Fourth Canto, Chapter 12, Text 30 Srila Prabhupada very wonderfully describes Dhruva Maharaja's passing into the spiritual world:
"To take the passing away of a devotee and the passing away of a nondevotee as one and the same is completely misleading. While ascending the transcendental airplane, Dhruva Mahārāja suddenly saw death personified before him, but he was not afraid. Instead of death's giving him trouble, Dhruva Mahārāja took advantage of death's presence and put his feet on the head of death. People with a poor fund of knowledge do not know the difference between the death of a devotee and the death of a nondevotee. In this connection, an example can be given: a cat carries its kittens in its mouth, and it also catches a rat in its mouth. Superficially, the catching of the rat and the kitten appear to be one and the same, but actually they are not. When the cat catches the rat in its mouth it means death for the rat, whereas when the cat catches the kitten, the kitten enjoys it. When Dhruva Mahārāja boarded the airplane, he took advantage of the arrival of death personified, who came to offer him obeisances; putting his feet on the head of death, he got up on the unique airplane, which is described here to be as big as a house (gṛham)."
So instead of being disturbed by death Dhruva took advanage of the arrival of death to board the Vaikunthan Airplane which was big as a house. Let us all learn a lesson from this how to prepare ourselves for death by devoting our lives fully in Krishna's service.

Which side at the temple should stand TRANSGENDER people?
Your servant,
Gandharvika devi dasi
My Dear Gandharvika,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
A person would be transgender if they have both male and female genitals. Such a person should choose their gender based on which sex organs predominate. Otherwise they are not transgender and they should identify themselves as either male or female in accordance with which type of genitals they have.
I hope this meets you in the best of health.
Your ever well-wisher,
