Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 8.139
Kṛṣṇa is the all-attractive one
“The very name Kṛṣṇa means that He attracts even Cupid. He is therefore attractive to everyone — male and female, moving and inert living entities. Indeed, Kṛṣṇa is known as the all-attractive one.
What the purport teaches
- The name Kṛṣṇa means that He attracts even Cupid. He attracts everyone—male and female, moving and inert living entities.
- Just as the material world has many stars and planets, the spiritual world has many spiritual planets called Vaikuṇṭhalokas.
- The spiritual universe is situated far beyond the cluster of material universes. The purport contrasts its existence with scientists’ inability even to estimate all the planets and stars within this universe.
