Getting To Know God

Krishna, the Supreme Eternal says:

“Before the creation of this cosmic manifestation, Me alone exists with my own spiritual powers to the exclusion of all gross, subtle or causal phenomena. Consciousness was not yet manifested. After creation, I alone live in all things, and come the time of annihilation, I alone remain forever.”

The Sovereign Lord to the inconceivable greatness, who is omnipresent and who has neither name nor form nor material activities, shows himself especially merciful to the holy beings who venerate him. Thus he manifests his Forms and his Spiritual Names during his various entertainments.

“May the Supreme Lord, whose Form is eternal, all of knowledge and bliss, show mercy to us.”

In truth, God, the Supreme Person is devoid of name, He has no material name. Krishna, which means “the infinitely fascinating”, is not an ordinary name because it is actually an immaterial, spiritual name. The names of the Supreme Lord are not of this world. Likewise, the form of Lord Krishna as well as his advent and his acts are all immaterial and therefore spiritual. To manifest His mercy without cause to holy beings as well as unbelievers, Krishna, the Sovereign Lord, appears in this world thus revealing His holy Names, His Forms and His Divertures, all of which are spiritual and absolute.

The Name Krishna and God, the Supreme Person, are identical and of the same power, for the Lord Sovereign has invested his Holy Name with power. Thus, whoever pronounces it sees his sins erased and obtains salvation (liberation). Krishna, God, the Supreme Person loves to pronounce His Holy Name.

Sri Krishna is the personal, real, primordial and absolute form of God, the Supreme Person. He is the first Narayana (one of his Holy Names), the first because there are in the spiritual world, on the spiritual Vaikunthas planets, an unlimited number of Narayanas, all of whom are one and the same Sovereign Person, God, but which are all plenary emanations of the Supreme Lord in his original form, Sri Krishna. From this primordial form emanates, first of all, the form of Baladeva, then, of Baladeva, so many others, such as Sankarsana, Pradyumna, Aniruddha, Vasudeva, Narayana, Purusa, Rama, Nrsimha, & c. Once again, all these manifestations, or plenary emanations, have one and the same identity, that of visnu-tattva, of which Sri Krishna is the only original source. Thus is He God Himself, the Supreme Lord, absolutely, both the creator of the material universe and, in the form of Narayana, the Sovereign Lord of each of the spiritual planets, called Vaikunthas. His antics among humans are thus a kind of enigma, which explains his assertion in the Bhagavad-gita, according to which fools, ignorant of the real nature of his acts, take him for an ordinary man.

The misguidance against Sri Krishna occurs by the action of its internal and external energies on the so-called marginal one. Distinct beings (us) belong to this marginal
