1) He manifests wonderful Entertainments.

2) He plays excellently with His sublime flute.

3) He is an eternal youth.

4) He has an incomparable beauty.

Human existence is made to seek to know God as he really is, to renew the bond that unites us to Him, to unite our interests to his own, to learn to understand, to love, to surrender to him, to serve him with love and devotion and to become conscious of him. Such is the perfection of existence.

In Gokula, a transcendental place and one of the three main regions of Goloka, there is the supreme planet where Krishna resides, a divine Lotus with a thousand petals and millions of filaments. At its heart stands a majestic divine throne in which Lord Krishna sits, whose form incarnates the eternal radiance of transcendental ecstasy, playing with his celestial flute, which vibrates with spiritual sounds on 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 temporal qualities. The other two regions are: Dvaraka and Mathura.

Goloka or Krishnaloka, planet and supreme dwelling, looks like a lotus with a thousand petals. The heart of this lotus is the home of Krishna. This lotus-shaped Supreme House is created by the will of Ananta.

The heart of this transcendental lotus is the sphere where Krishna resides. This dwelling, dwelling of the supreme and predominant aspect of the absolute, forms a hexagonal figure. Like a diamond, the central support figure of the luminous Krishna shines as the transcendent source of all the powers. The holy name composed of eighteen transcendental letters is manifested in a hexagon with six divisions.

The heart of this eternal kingdom, Goloka, is the hexagonal dwelling of Krishna. The petals, dwellings of the Gopis which, being its integral parts of identical essence, serve it with the greatest affection, glitter exquisitely like so many walls. The spread leaves of this lotus, similar to a garden, form the spiritual home of Sri Rādhikā, the dearest heart of Krishna.

Krishna, the original lord, resides in his Goloka kingdom with Rādhārani whose spiritual traits are similar to his. She embodies her power of happiness and perfectly masters the sixty-four arts; confidantes, extensions of her personal form accompany her, penetrated and vivified like her by the sublime Rasa, source of a renewed endless joy, which unites them to Krishna, the Supreme Eternal.
