transcendental relationships, and confers his compassion on his eternal surroundings. There, Krishna's inner power becomes her servant for the purpose of loving dancing. Thus the inhabitants of Vrajabhumi think: "The Lord is glorified by the smallest manifestations of his sublime grace and affection, and we, the inhabitants of Vrindavana, are free from all anguish by His merciful existence.

All the Vaikounthas planets of the spiritual world, named Vishnoulokas, are under the planet named Krishnaloka. On this star, the Lord delights in spiritual ecstasy in many forms, and all the excellences of the Vaikounthas are fully manifested on this one planet. Krishna's entourage is also endowed with six excellences. The material and spiritual energies are separated by the waters of the Viraja River, which emanates from the swelling of the first Supreme Avatar. On one side of the Viraja is the eternal nature, as infinite as it is felicitous, and known as the spiritual world, or Kingdom of God. Vaikounthas are called spiritual planets because there is no lamentation or fear, everything is eternal. It is estimated that the spiritual world consists of three quarters of the energies of the Supreme Lord, while the material universe represents only one quarter. No one can apprehend what is happening to these three quarters, for even the temporal universe that forms only a quarter of the Lord's energies can not be adequately described.

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 proclaim that He is God, the Supreme Person. All of Krishna's entertainment is like the activities of humans. Let us understand therefore that its form is similar to that of man. In truth, the human form only imitates his. The flute in his hand, Krishna appears like a shepherd in his early youth. Always playful, He is entertained like the common boys. The original Lord, first ancestor, keeps the cows and fills all desires. His palaces are made of spiritual gems surrounded by millions of trees to perfection. Infinite lakṣmīs and gopīs serve him forever with great veneration and deepest affection. He plays his flute wonderfully. Her face radiates beauty and her eyes blossom like lotus petals. His skin is bluish like clouds, some peacock crowns crown his head, his indescribable grace charms millions of cupids.

The land of the Krishna transcendental dwelling, God, is of philosopher's stone and the forests abound in trees at will. There, the water is nectar, each word composes a melody, each step is a dance; the flute is the favorite companion of the Lord. Countless cows always emanate from the inexhaustible oceans of milk. The radiance of this star is marked by transcendental bliss and its supreme spiritual entities are all exquisite. The Lakshmis, affectionate wives, in their pure essence offer loving service to Krishna, their one and only love. The passage of time is unknown: no question of past or future.
