spiritual planets, say Vaikountha, but it is very difficult to reach Goloka Vrindavana. In reality, only the devotees of Lord Chaitanya or Lord Krishna succeed.

There is also Krishnaloka in Gokula, a transcendental place and one of the three main regions of Gokula or Krishnaloka, the supreme planet where Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, a divine lotus with a thousand petals and millions of filaments, resides. At its heart stands a majestic divine throne in which Lord Krishna sits, whose form embodies the eternal radiance of transcendental ecstasy, playing with his celestial flute, which vibrates with spiritual sounds in contact with his lotus-like lips. There, his loving Gopis adore him with their personal subjective emanations and manifestations as well as his external energy, which remains outside, embodying all the temporal qualities. The other two regions are: Dvaraka and Mathura.

This lotus-shaped Supreme House is created by the will of Ananta, the plenary emanation of Kriahna. The heart of this transcendental lotus is the sphere where Krishna resides.

Confidants, extensions of her personal form accompany her, penetrated and vivified as she by the sublime feeling, source of renewed endless joy, which unites them to Krishna, the Supreme Eternal.

The dwellings of Vāsudeva, Sańkarṣaṇa, Pradyumna and Aniruddha (the quadruple emanations of Krishna) are separately located in each of the four regions that divide Śvetadvīpa on all sides.
