This may of interest to some of you. While I was in the physical presence of Brother Bhaktanada I asked him quite a few questions that other people also wanted the answers to. In a providential sense he answered them for more people than just myself.
I asked him why the number 666 was used in the Bible and what it referred to. He explained to me that 6+6+6 added up to 18 and that these numbers were the numbers of man-each group of 8 representing groups of aspects of man that needed to be overcome before liberation could occur. He did not refer to the devil but rather the beastly qualities that kept man tied to the physical plain.
