The supreme planet where Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, resides.

In Gokula, a transcendental place and one of the three main regions of Goloka, the supreme planet where Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, resides, there exists a divine lotus with a thousand petals and millions of filaments.

At its heart stands a majestic divine throne on which sits Lord Krishna, whose form embodies the eternal radiance of transcendental ecstasy, playing his celestial flute that vibrates with spiritual sounds upon contact with his lotus-like lips. There, his gopi lovers worship him with their personal subjective emanations as well as his external energy, which dwells outside, embodying all temporal qualities. The other two regions are Dvaraka and Mathura.

Goloka or Krishnaloka, the supreme planet and abode, resembles a thousand-petalled lotus. The heart of this lotus is the abode of Krishna. This supreme lotus-shaped abode is created by the will of Lord Ananta, the plenary emanation of Krishna.

The heart of this transcendental lotus is the sphere where Krishna resides. This abode, the dwelling place of the supreme and predominant aspect of the absolute, forms a hexagonal figure. Like a diamond, the supporting figure, the center of the luminous Krishna, shines as the transcendental source of all powers. The Holy Name, composed of eighteen transcendental letters, manifests in a hexagon with six divisions.

The heart of this eternal kingdom, Goloka, is the hexagonal abode of Krishna. The petals, the dwellings of the gopis who, being his integral parts of identical essence, serve him with the greatest affection, sparkle exquisitely like so many walls. The unfurled leaves of this lotus, like a garden, form the spiritual abode of Sri Radhika, the dearest to Krishna's heart.

Krishna, the original Lord, resides in his kingdom of Goloka with Radharani, whose features resemble his own. She embodies his power of bliss and perfectly masters the sixty-four arts. Confidantes, extensions of his personal form, accompany him, penetrated and enlivened like her by a relationship of sublime love, the source of endlessly renewed joy, which unites them with Krishna, the Eternal Supreme.

What lifestyle should we adopt?

We must absolutely live according to the teachings of Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, if we want our lives to be perfect and completely successful.

This is how we must live, according to the culture of Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. We must put an end to the cycle of birth and death and return to God, to our original home.
