Kṛṣṇa's Eternal Presence and Pastimes
“Lord Kṛṣṇa, the son of the King of Vraja, is the Supreme Lord. He eternally enjoys transcendental pastimes in His eternal abode, Goloka, which includes Vrajadhāma.”
What the purport teaches
- Kṛṣṇa, the son of Vrajendra, the King of Vraja, is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, with six opulences.
- He eternally enjoys transcendentally variegated opulences and pastimes in His eternal abode, Goloka, which includes Vrajadhāma.
- His eternal pastimes are called aprakaṭa, or unmanifested, because they are beyond the purview of conditioned souls. Kṛṣṇa is always present everywhere, even when He is not before our eyes.
