Getting To Know God

The name of Tryadhishvara is given to the Lord, in reference to his three main residences, Gokula, Mathura and Dvaraka, where absolute opulence reigns. Established in his transcendental power, Krishna is the Master of these three stays and all spiritual energies, in addition to possessing the six excellences in their fullness. This is why all the Vedic Scriptures, the original scriptures, “The true gospel” proclaim that He is God, the Supreme Person.

Although Krishna, God, the Supreme Person remains in Vrindavana in his absolute kingdom where He enjoys living with his eternal friends, the gopis and herdsmen, his powers act on his order throughout creation and do not disturb his Everlasting entertainments.

The celestial beings submit to his orders to serve him exactly according to his desires. God, the Supreme Person, directs everything and his orders are executed by others, his impersonal aspect (only aspect of God known to Jews, Christians and Muslims) being only an appearance. The Lord explains that nothing is superior to Him and that the Impersonal Supreme Being, the mere manifestation of His personal radiance, is subordinate to Him. He is beyond all conscious and unconscious beings, hence His Supreme Personality Name. All beings are in Him and act under His will.

Lord Chaitanya, the Golden Avatar says of Krishna:

Whoever appreciates the sublime attributes of Krishna bathes in an ocean of nectar. Although beyond material energy, Krishna's yogamaya is none the less manifested by the Lord in this very world, for the sole satisfaction of his intimate devotees.”

Yogamaya: Krishna's inner power, which veiled him and made him inaccessible to the common people, unbelievers and atheists. Also, the power by which the Lord reveals himself partially to his pure devotee veiling his divine nature.

It is for this purpose that He appears in this universe. So fascinating are his attributes that Krishna aspires to understand himself. Dressed in all his finery, he adopts his curved posture in three places, eyebrows dancing constantly over his eyes, so fascinating that all the gopis (young girls of Vrindavana) become as bewitched. At the top of the spiritual world is his transcendental home, where he resides with his companions, the gopis and all the goddesses of fortune. It is known under the name of Madane-Mohane.

There are many of Krishna's entertainments, including those that he performs as Vasudev and Shankarshan, and in the material world, in the form of the first Supreme Avatar, the Creator of the temporal universe. Not to mention those of the Fish-Avatar and the Turtle-Avatar, manifestations of his incarnated powers, or those in which He
