yet manifested. I am also the One you see now, Me, the Supreme Person, and I am also the One who will subsist after the annihilation.”
Krishna existed thus at the dawn of Creation; it is he who maintains it and when it is destroyed, it will continue to exist.
Everything is a manifestation of the energy of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person. The energy and its source, God, are one.
The great sage Narada reveals to us of God: “The Supreme Lord, though He Himself is the universe, is no less than that: from Him alone comes the cosmic manifestation, in which it rests, and it is resorbed after its destruction, but you, noble soul, know all these facts well, so I have shown you only a quick view.”
The entire universe is the Supreme Eternal Krishna, but it seems distinct from Him. The consciousness of God makes it clear that it is not so. The average man conceives two distinct entities: God and what is not God. Whereas there is nothing that is not God. Outside God there is nothing. This is the illusion, because everything is God.
Krishna inhabits the spiritual world, from which He periodically descends to restore spirituality:
“Whenever in some part of the Universe spirituality sees a decline and irreligion rises, I come down in person, I appear from age to age to deliver the righteous, to destroy disbelievers and restore the principles of spirituality.”
Krishna appeared on earth in his spiritual form, just before the Age of Kali or the age of discord and strife, to relieve our planet of the burden created by impious as well as ambitious kings. By his divine plan, He assembled all these evil armies on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, where they were decimated in a colossal conflict. He crushed the power of the demonic beings that overwhelmed the world. Shortly after enthroning the Pandavas, kings of holiness, Krishna returned to his eternal home, the spiritual world.
On Earth, Krishna also performs many entertainments as a shepherd in Vrindavana and as a prince in Dwaraka.
Seeing us languish in the material Universe, He comes Himself or as a devotee to teach us his teaching, always wanting to enlighten the human being and to show him the way back to his first home, the kingdom of God.
Lord Krishna's entertainment being innumerable, here is a summary description as it was 5,000 years ago.
Krishna manifests itself in various forms. He can therefore manifest himself as he pleases through his many absolute diversions in one or other of his emanations, but
