own planet at the northern end of the galaxy, and so it is with every galaxy in the material cosmos.
The universal egg, that is, the galaxy in the form of a egg, corresponds to the manifestation of material energy. Inside this egg is the universal form of Lord Hari, the full emanation of Krishna, which contains such the different parts of his body, the fourteen planetary systems.
In every galaxy there is a Garbhodakasayi Visnu, a universal form of the Supreme Lord, and a Ksirodakasayi Visnu.
Lord Ksirodakasayi Visnu is present in every galaxy, and inhabit a special planet called Svetadvipa. From Him come all the Avatars that appear in the material galaxy.
On the spiritual planet located in each galaxy is an ocean of milk, and on it, an island called Svetadvipa, abode of Lord Visnu.
En Below the earth are the seven lower planetary systems, respectively referred to as Atala, Vitala, Sutala, Talatala, Nahatala, Rasatala and Patala. Below these planets is Lord Garbhodakasayi Visnu, lying on the Garbhodaka ocean, on his bed formed for Him by Lord Ananta Sesa, full emanation of Krishna, 19,402,243 kilometers deep. By lying in the galaxy, the Lord gives life to bodies made of material elements.
A approximately three hundred and eighty thousand (385,000 kilometers) below from the planet Patala lives another manifestation of God, the Supreme Person. This is the emanation of Visnu known as Ananta, or Sankarsana. Its position always remains purely spiritual. The entire galaxy sits like an atom on one of its thousands of heads. It dwells below lower planetary systems, and easily supports the entire galaxy. The various infernal planets located in the lower planetary system of our galaxy are held slightly above the Garbhodaka Ocean.
Lord Ananta is the Master Deity of ignorance and false ego of all conditioned souls. His form is completely spiritual, and He manifests it only by His mercy alone. All the activities of this material world take place within this one form. We call her Anantadeva, “Unlimited”. He enjoys great power and always shows himself willing to satisfy his personal companions and devotees.
