energy, and as such are lost either by internal energy or by external energy. By the power of illusion of his inner energy, Sri Krishna unfolds in innumerable Narayanas and accepts the service of absolute devotion that in a relation of pure love offer Him the inhabitants of the spiritual world. As for its external energy, it manifests itself by appearing in the material universe in the form of Avatars, among men, animals or celestial beings, and this, in order to restore its relation with conditioned souls, which have forgotten during their stay in various bodies, in different species.
Lord Krishna has an everlasting kingdom where He is entertained for eternity with His eternal companions and all that eternally surrounds Him.
This eternal kingdom is a manifestation of its inner energy, whereas the material universe is a manifestation of its external energy. But when He descends into the material universe, He does it through his inner power, and with all his surroundings. The Lord Himself confirms that He is descending into this world by His own power. Its Form, Name, Fame, Entourage, Kingdom ... are not creations of matter. And when He comes down this way, it is to remind him of fallen souls and to restore the principles of religion, or of spirituality, which He himself has enunciated. No one but God can restore these principles. He alone, or a qualified being, endowed by Him with powers to this end, can dictate the codes of religion. True religion is to know God, to know the relationship that unites us to Him, our duties to Him and ultimately our destiny once left the body of matter. But conditioned souls, trapped in material energy, have a very thin knowledge of these principles of life.
When the Lord descends into the material universe, He does it with all his Entourage, to give a complete picture of the spiritual world, where love and pure devotion prevail for Him, free from the slightest material desire to dominate His creation. The holy beings who live in the Lord's entourage are all liberated souls, perfect manifestations of his marginal, internal energy, entirely closed to the influence of his external energy.
Lord Krishna, the Supreme Lord, appeared just before the age of kali or iron age, discord and strife, the present age, and He returned to his eternal kingdom at the beginning of this age. During his stay on Earth, He revealed all things through his Activities. Particularly, He enunciated the Bhagavad-gita (Words of Krishna, Christ, God, the Supreme Person) and reduced to nothing all the false principles of spirituality.
Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead says, “Whenever in some part of the universe, spirituality sees a decline, and irreligion rises, I come down in person.”
The Supreme Lord, Krishna, appears from age to age (as He did 5,000 years ago) for the sole purpose of alleviating the burden of the earth from the evil deeds of demonic kings, of annihilating the demonic miscreants, of protecting devotees and restore the principles of religion and spirituality.
