The Lord Possesses Transcendental Opulences

“In His spiritual potency, the Supreme Lord enjoys six kinds of opulences. You do not accept this spiritual potency, and this is due to your great impudence.

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya 6.161, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The Supreme Personality of Godhead is full with six opulences, which He enjoys in His spiritual potency.
  • All these potencies are on the transcendental platform.
  • To understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead as impersonal and devoid of potency goes completely against Vedic information.
