Nirodha· Winding upAlways Think of the Supreme Lord
“Worshipers of the Hiraṇyagarbha expansion of the Personality of Godhead remain within this material world until the end of two parārdhas, when Lord Brahmā also dies.”
What the purport teaches
- Worshipers of Hiraṇyagarbha, the plenary expansion Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, remain on higher planets until the end of Brahmā’s life. Then they enter the spiritual kingdom with him.
- Being always Kṛṣṇa conscious means always thinking of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Kṛṣṇa includes the complete category of viṣṇu-tattva, with His incarnations and plenary expansions.
- Fully Kṛṣṇa conscious persons enter directly into the Vaikuṇṭha planets. Worshipers of Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu enter after the universe’s dissolution.
