‘The perpetual Kingdom of Radha and Krishna takes up 3/4 of the
imperishable Spiritual Sky (above in the red lotus flower and
unlimited expansions of Vishnu and Lakshmi in the surrounding yellow
planets) is made up of personalities (Krishna’s marginal living
entities) with eternal devotional bodies, where as the mahat-tattva
(material universe) and its impersonal escape (only 1/4 of creation),
is nothing other than the rebellious dreams, thoughts and desires of
just a few of those eternal personalities. Such non-Krishna conscious
dreams or rebellious thoughts of self importance are contained in
outward ethereal or biological vessels (or in an impersonal inactive
liberated state) that both belong to and are part and parcel of the
mahat-tattva (the impermanent material universal creation), which is a
dark existent impermanent cloud where the four-armed expansion of
Krishna, the dreaming Maha-Vishnu and His wife Maya Devi resides and
manages, as shown above
Always chant Hare Krishna and these seemingly inconceivable topics can
easily be understood regardless if one is a fallen rascal who
previously selfishly and insensitively exploited the material world
around them due to the diseased conditioned of their biological
vessel, caused by the individual embodied soul’s (life force or jiva-
bhutah’s entrapment within ethereal and biological containments)
accumulation and crushing build-up of an overwhelming avalanche of
Karmic reactions! Srila Prabhupada and Lord Chaitanya (the most
merciful combination of Radha and Krishna) have come to save such
delinquent souls and finally direct them back home back to Godhead.
Once there was an old man and a young boy who were travelling with a
donkey. The young man was leading the donkey and the old man was
riding on the donkey. When they passed through a small village, some
of the townspeople yelled abuse, "Look at this old man taking
advantage of this poor young boy! What a rascal!" After they had
passed through the village, the old man said, "We had better swap
over, otherwise they will abuse us in the next village." So then they
swapped with the old man leading and the young boy riding. But in the
next village also they got criticized, "Look at this selfish boy,
taking advantage of his grandfather. He should let the old man ride
on the donkey." So then they both got off and led the donkey, but in
the next village the people yelled out, "Look at these two stupid
people! They have a donkey, but they are choosing to walk instead!"
Then the old man concluded, "Actually, it doesn't matter what you do,
people will always be critical. Pradyumna

The Kingdom of God (Krishna) is an Eternal Personal Active Loving
Devotional Place of unlimited pastimes that is forever lasting and
never aging. The atma- (self)-jiva- (soul)-vigraha (unending form)
transcendental body (the soul's real spiritual Krishna Conscious self
and form) can never fall down to the material universe.
The natural eternal constitutional position of ones 'real bodily
self' (atma-jiva-vigraha Krishna Conscious bodily form) is forever
engaged in an infinite number of pastimes and relationships serving
Krishna. Nitya-siddha, or our eternal constitutional marginal
condition of servitude or loving selfless unconditional devotion to
Krishna, is the ultimate, natural and original perpetually active
Krishna Conscious committed devotional selfless state of our real
bodily form or self.
Our atma-jiva-vigraha perpetual Krishna Conscious body represents what
permanence, perpetual and eternity means – no beginning, no end and
never decays or changes yet at the same time there are always
unlimited transcendental changes and devotional adjustments going on
within unlimited pastimes that are illimitable active in the present,
beyond the concept of past and future, birth or death.
The Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha (the supreme imperishable Kingdom of
God) feature of the Spiritual Sky exists in the majority of the
Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti (3/4 of the creation). It is a place
where past and future does not exist because everything there is
imperishable and exists always in the eternal presents beyond our
material understanding of time and space.
Only within a dark cloud (1/4 of creation) that is also existing in
Spiritual Sky (Known as the maha-tattva or material universe) does
impermanence, past, present, future, birth, death, suffering,
impermanence and forgetfulness exist and always moving in cycles,
i.e., the cycle of birth and death, the cycle of Yugas or ages, the
cycle of the climatic seasons etc. These qualities of decline and
regeneration do not exist within the Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha realm.
Only Lila-rasa or the mellows of ones personal pastime with Krishna
eternal exists there in diverse behavioural ways of outward
manifestations (relationships) according to rasa (pastimes with
Krishna and His devotees) that never needs regeneration because it
never ages or fades.
The atma-jiva-vigraha devotee’s are sometimes referred to as marginal
spiritual sparks and Krishna the Supreme Personality of Godhead
however, both are distinct as individual Persons, atma-vigraha’s or
Purushas meaning “Individual Persons" with bodily form in the sense of
a conscious spirit. Both God (Krishna) and the individual spirits
(atma-jiva-vigraha devotee’s) are purushas, but Krishna is the Adi
(Original, exemplary) Purusha, Parama (Highest) Purusha, and the
Purushottama (Best of the Purushas or atma-vigraha bodily
personalities), and Krishna the Supreme Atma-Vigraha or Purushas.
The finite atma-jiva-vigraha devotee’s are always subservant to
Krishna or His various expansions including Maha-Vishnu who is the
provider and facilitator of the material manifestation or mahat-
tattva. Krishna is their provider in all aspects of existence even
when they ‘consciously’ (or transmitted consciousness that is called
the jiva-bhutah or jiva-sakti) choose to leave Vaikuntha and enter the
material universe or mahat-tattva where Maha-Vishnu provides the
ethereal and biological vessels that facilitates the jiva-bhuta’s or
jiva-sakti’s non-Krishna conscious desires. In the Vedas and Puranas
all Persons in the Godhead are distinct individuals with perpetual
bodily form that is the real identity of the ‘so-called’ spiritual
spark, so for Vaishnavas, it is not difficult to understand the
eternal personal existence of the finite jivatmas (atma-vigraha
devotee’s) in relationship to the infinite Deity Paramatma (Lord
Krishna).
Such Lila’s or pastimes although, can change in the Goloka-Vrndavana/
Vaikuntha feature of the Spiritual Universe in ways that can only be
understood as one genuinely re-awakens their 'old' and original
Krishna Conscious bodily identity from the confines of ethereal and
biological vessels ensnared within the material universe (maha-
tattva). And even then, after withdrawing from the dream of Maha-
Vishnu (the Over-Lord and facilitator of the maha-tattva) and giving
up the ethereal and biological containers at their root cause, which
is the desire to enjoy separately from Krishna, can one again take up
their original position in the Kingdom of God (Krishna).
Along these lines ones projected jiva-bhutah consciousness is
eventually withdrawn or again re-established back as ones Krishna
Conscious real self or atma-jiva-vigraha body as the dust of material
desires are cleared from the mind and replaced with memories of ones
real self serving Krishna. Even then, when re-established as ones real
self, the ways of Krishna's devotional perpetual Kingdom will always
be inconceivable and remain a mystery.
In other words, even though one has an original nitya-siddha-svarupa-
atma-sat-cit-ananda-vigraha or atma-jiva body, still the entire
creation will remain a forever expanding creation, not with living
entities (atma-jiva-vigraha devotees) for they have always been and
there was never a time when they did not exist. The forever-expanding
creation is due to the forever expanding pastimes of Krishna and His
expansions that will always eternally remain a mystery.
Srila Prabhupada states in his teachings of Lord Chaitanya referring
to the living entity (jiva-bhutah consciousness) entrapment in the
material manifestation (mahat-tattva): -
‘The living entity is eternally part and parcel of God, when he is
liberated from the impermanent material manifestation; he revives his
original, eternal, part-and-parcel bodily identity and form. The
realization of aham brahmasmi ("I am not this material body") does not
mean that the living entity loses his identity. At the present moment
a person may consider himself to be matter, but in his liberated state
he will understand that he is not matter but spirit soul, part of the
infinite. To become Krishna conscious or spiritually conscious and to
engage in the transcendental loving service of Krishna are signs of
the liberated stage’.
Every living entity has an original nitya-siddha-svarupa-sat-cit-
ananda-atma-vigraha body they can realize if they are Krishna
Conscious, or can never realize when not Krishna Conscious. The
meaning of these Sanskrit words is: -
Nitya-siddha - Everyone (all living entities or the marginal potency
of Krishna) has a perpetual nitya-siddha higher self or Krishna
conscious body that can never fall or leave Goloka-Vrndavana/
Vaikuntha. The fall down (forgetting Krishna) state is not a bodily
plunge, it is a conscious descend downwards to the lower self or
unconscious dream setting where one’s ‘thoughts’ enters and creates
the holographic dimension of the material delusional universe.
Nitya-siddha refers to ones original Krishna Conscious body or higher
personified self personified that is always there in bodily form in
Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha (Gods Kingdom) even when ones dreaming jiva-
bhutah consciousness, or lower self is projected into the material
universe of dreams, or further transformed into the jiva-nikaya stage
or non-dream state that happens after the embodied jiva-bhutah becomes
frustrated with the impermanent nature of its material hallucinations,
that, from the viewpoint of the Vaikuntha’s, are no more real than a
mirage in a desert. However on this absolute level, all dreams,
hallucinations, thoughts and mirages are real but temporary because
the maha-tattva or material universe does temporarily exist in the
Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti.
Eventually the jiva-bhutah’s ethereal and biological containments that
trap the transmitted life force or secondary consciousness in the
material-interactive condition of existence in the mahat-tattva,
withdrawals from the confines of those bodily vessels and the dreams
of Maha-Vishnu, withdrawing to the jiva-nikaya inactive non-ethereal,
biological and material condition. This is just another change of
consciousness, altering one illusion for another, an active sub-
consciousness (material activities), to an inactive sub-consciousness
(Impersonal Brahman or Brahmajyoti that exists outside the dreams of
Maha-Vishnu but still within the confines of the mahat-tattva.). They
are both an illusion (real but temporary) and only exist in sub-
conscious dreams transmitted from the Nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha body
to the maha-tattva as either the jiva-bhutah or jiva-nikaya condition
while totally unaware of the atma-vigraha Krishna Conscious body. Due
to the nature of eternal time and the permanence of the Spiritual
universe or Personal Brahman or Brahmajyoti, past, present, future,
space and time that can only exist within the mahat-tattva cloud
within the Spiritual Sky, are amalgamated as an everlasting event with
no beginning or no end. Everything in Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha
eternally happens in the present. This confirms that ones original
atma-jiva-vigraha body is always in Goloka-Vrndavana, even if one is
sub-consciously off somewhere else in some imaginary dream.
That dream world or non-Krishna conscious mahat-tattva is the material
universe and comes under the phenomena of past, present, future, time,
space, ethereal vessel, biological vessels, impermanence,
forgetfulness, birth, disease, old age, death
Siddhasvarupa - One’s Krishna Conscious unique, original and servitor
personal relationship with Krishna that is eternally in Goloka-
Vrndavana even if one has turned their back on Krishna and experience
existence through their lower self as the sub-conscious transmission
of non-Krishna conscious desires or thoughts, where one imagines
themselves as many different forms with many personalities, still
their real transcendental state of Krishna Consciousness and
relationships with Krishna, His internal plenary individual expansions
and His devotee’s (other nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha’s) is always in
Goloka-Vrndavana, regardless if ones dreaming consciousness has
entered the abstract universe of shadows known as the material
universe. It is therefore clear that ones original eternal
relationship is always with Krishna, even while one is dreaming other
things and has forgotten their atma-vigraha body from where the
illusionary dreams are transmitted. One can only be re-awakened, after
previously ‘choosing to deliberately leaving Goloka-Vrndavana’, when
one is again Krishna Conscious. It is impossible to understand whom
one really is in Krishna Lila (pastime) while still absorbed in the
sub-conscious-jiva bhutah or jiva-nikaya projected hallucinations.
· Sat - Krishna Conscious eternity beyond time and space, past,
present and future.
· Cit - Krishna Conscious Knowledge.
· Ananda - Krishna Conscious bliss.
· Atma - (soul’s higher self, personality and individuality) – Krishna
Conscious self, identity, and personality (also atma can mean jiva
however, in this thesis, the jiva (soul’s lower self) is the sub-
consciousness of the full conscious atma (the souls higher self) and
is called the jiva-bhutah that is the transmitted dreaming
consciousness that creates the material illusion. The non-Krishna
Conscious jiva-bhutah-sub-consciousness only exists when one is not
Krishna Conscious, just as darkness cannot exist when the light is on.
· Vigraha - Soul’s Krishna Conscious eternal form and is the atma’s
individual eternal identity and personality
Ones inability to remember Krishna while trapped in the jiva-bhutah
sub-consciousness is due to attachment to the lower self. This
addiction to counterfeit bodies and identities are shaped by the jiva-
bhutah-sub-conscious determination to satisfy their self-interest of
being determined to enjoy like Krishna, replacing service to Krishna
with service to the imaginary self. In this way, the shadow of the
Krishna Conscious atma-jiva-vigraha body becomes that imagined self
and is called the jiva-bhutah-sub-conscious non-Krishna conscious
condition. This shadow of ones self is only interested in pursing self-
centered sensual gratification (lower-self addicted to ethereal,
biological and material life or non Krishna conscious dreams) that
creates what we call the material universe where one can forget
Krishna for almost an eternity if they want.
The Brahmajyoti or Brahman is held together by form and is the entire
creation where Goloka-Vrndavana, the Vaikuntha’s (imperishable) as
well as the mahat-tattva (perishable) exist. What anyone does within
the mahat-tattva, it is like acting out a role in a play
Generally nitya-siddha among Vaishnava's means one never falls to the
conditioned living entity stage, known as the jiva-bhuta non-Krishna
dreaming conscious condition, which is the sub-conscious lower self
(nitya-baddha or eternally conditioned state) that is oblivious to
their full Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha body in Krishna's perpetual
Kingdom.
The lower conscious self (jiva-bhutah) is always in the nitya-baddha
condition of comatose consciousness that can only actively manifest
within the perishable material universal dream. Therefore, more or
less, their understanding is correct however, even though the nitya-
siddha-atma-vigraha bodies never fall down from Krishna's Personal
Kingdom, the introverted dreaming conscious state 'within' which is
called the nitya-baddha-jiva-bhutah, can be generated as consciousness
from ones real self or nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha bodily form. Even
though ones original body can never fall down from Krishna’s perpetual
Kingdom, it is possible, due to free will, one can enter a trance like
insignificant (real but temporary) consciousness and forget that
unique blissful nitya-buddha form and ‘consciously fall’ (not as ones
uninterrupted bodily form) to the nitya-baddha eternally conditioned
state. This is similar to forgetting the biological body while
sleeping and dreaming. In simple terms, the atma-vigraha body, or
higher conscious awareness in the form of ones real bodily form
serving Krishna in the Kingdom of God, is eternally liberated (nitya-
siddha) and can never fall down, where as the lower conscious self,
manifested as a multiple dreaming bodily identities and forms within
the material universe or mahat-tattva, is eternally conditioned (nitya-
baddha) and is always in that state.
Every living entities original individual bodily devotional form
(marginal potency of the Lord) in Krishna's Abode is always eternally
there because of the perpetual and imperishable nature of His Goloka-
Vrndavana/Vaikuntha Spiritual Sky or Abode. This clearly means all of
us have an eternal individual form and relationship that is always
with Krishna in His everlasting Abode that is forever there and has
always been there.
Even though from time to time, we maybe consciously unaware of this
everlasting fact of creation due to our selfishness and egocentricity
that create our independent dreaming secondary consciousness that is
transferred to the material universe, or nitya-baddha forgetful
condition of impermanent existence.
This is not difficult to understand if you chant the Hare Krishna Maha-
mantra, the recommended sacrifice for this age of Kali-yuga. The
various Vedic texts tell us that the Kingdom of Krishna is an eternal
active place of boundless pastimes where nothing perishes. Everything
in Krishna’s Abode is always eternally there because of the perpetual
and imperishable nature of His Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha Spiritual
Sky or Abode.
As already mentioned and must be constantly emphasised, this means all
of us have an eternal form and relationship that is always with
Krishna in His everlasting Abode that is forever there and has always
been there, even though from time to time, we are consciously unaware
of this unending reality due to our forgetfulness and fantasies that
create our mirage like insignificant secondary consciousness (real but
temporary) that transmits ‘the thoughts one wants created’ to the
material universe in the jiva-bhutah condition consciousness known as
the nitya-baddha proviso of existence within the mahat-tattva
(material universe). In a straightforward way of trying to understand
this, all of us dream when we sleep, similarly to the dreams we have
in our biological body or vessel. The non-Krishna Conscious thoughts,
convictions or ‘dreams’ manifest a separate dreaming version (that is
real but temporary) of the self. Keep in mind on the absolute level,
unlike the mundane biological level; ones thoughts or dreams are as
real as their atma-jiva-vigraha body, with a major difference, such
counterfeit bodily creations and their surroundings are temporary and
therefore cannot exist within the same space that all their perpetual
bodies exist in (namely Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha).
In this way such temporary creations or thoughts are expelled from
Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha perpetual aspect of the Spiritual Sky by
ones own selfish independent desires and transferred to a far distant
place in the Spiritual Sky set aside for such temporary thoughts,
creations or desires. This place of ‘the dreaming’ is called the mahat-
tattva.
A crude example of how one selfishly desires to be served like
Krishna, instead of serving Him, causing one to be bewildered and thus
consciously falling from their perpetual body into a secondary
forgetful state of consciousness, is when one is awake in their
biological body, or when one is dreaming in that body, it is still the
same ‘self’ existing on two completely different levels of
consciousness at the same time. One embodied in the biological body,
the other as dreamed up fantasies that the body is dreaming that
appear real while they are sleeping. In a comparable way, ones dreams
or thoughts as the secondary jiva-bhutah consciousness create a
separate reality within the mahat-tattva (material universe) that is
real but temporary. In this way the thoughts of ones lower self are
unlike the illusionary unreal dreams one has while their biological
body is sleeping, that are illusionary and not real. This is only an
analogy and it does not mean the biological understanding of dreaming
causes our existence in the material universe.
There is a difference, ones dreams within Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha
are non different from reality or actions. However if one has non-
Krishna Conscious thoughts, dreams or desires, they cannot experience
those thoughts, desires or dreams in the perpetual Kingdom of Krishna.
To experience such self-centered dreams and desires their
consciousness is extended to the maha-tattva or material universe. In
this way, ones secondary consciousness (jiva-bhutah) is transferred to
within the confines and restrictions (being contained in ethereal and
biological vessels) of maha-tattva when one is unaware of their real
original identity and form (The atma-vigraha Krishna Conscious body).
Another way of understanding the paradox of the eternal liberated
state (nitya-siddha) and the eternally conditioned state (nitya-
baddha) simultaneously existing at the same time, is within a large
building the basement is always at the bottom and the penthouse suite
is always at the top. When one is in the penthouse, that does not mean
the basement does not exist, it is always there at the bottom of the
building. In the same way, both the nitya-baddha and nitya-siddha
condition exists eternally and at the same time, it just depends on
which condition of consciousness one is in. The nitya-siddha-atma-
vigraha condition is one's real Krishna conscious bodily form, while
the nitya-baddha condition is illusion and the concoctions of non-
Krishna conscious desires.
The Srimad-Bhagavatam also tell us that the Kingdom of Krishna is a
timeless energetic abode of boundless pastimes where nothing ever
perishes which confirms one has an eternal body that is always there.
Everything in Krishna's Abode is always everlastingly there because of
the uninterrupted and enduring nature of His Goloka-Vrndavana/
Vaikuntha Spiritual Sky or domicile. As already explained, this means
all of us (all marginal living entities) have an eternal shape, form,
body and connection that is forever with Krishna in His everlasting
Abode which is infinitely eternal even though from moment to moment,
we may choose to consciously deny of this everlasting reality due to
our desire to experience existence separate from Krishna.
Only then, after that choice is made, does forgetfulness enter the
equation where ones fantasies of independent grandeur is created by
our dreaming secondary consciousness that transmits one to the
material universe (mahat-tattva) or nitya-baddha forgetful condition
of existence as the jiva-bhutah teleported conscious condition.
In a familiar way, when one is awake in their biological body, or when
that body is asleep and one is dreaming, it is the same 'self'
existing on two completely different levels of consciousness, one as
the biological body, the other as dreamed up fantasies that appear
real while they are dreaming. In a similar way, ones dreams or
thoughts create a separate reality that is real but temporary (unlike
the illusionary unreal dreams one has while their biological body is
sleeping) and only exists within the mahat-tattva cloud that is the
creation of Maha-Vishnu. Ones consciousness is only transferred there
when one is unaware (due to self centered desires) of their real
original identity and form (The atma-vigraha Krishna Conscious body).
A rudimentary illustration of this is when one is alert in their
biological body, or when that body is sound asleep and dreaming, it is
the matching 'self' that is active on two completely diverse echelon
of awareness, one as the biological body, the other as hallucination
or flights of the imagination that emerge as authentic and real while
one is identifying with their biological dreaming thoughts. In a
comparable way as previously explained, ‘ones dreams or thoughts from
the absolute level create a separate reality that is real but
temporary’. Such thoughts therefore are not hallucinations because on
this level they are real. Keep in mind that on the absolute level
thoughts, dreams and actions are all equal however, thoughts or dreams
that are not Krishna conscious cannot stay in the Vaikuntha realm and
they are therefore transferred (not as ones perpetual nitya-siddha-
svarupa-atma-vigraha-body) to the maha-tattva or material universe as
transmitted consciousness or the non-Krishna conscious lower-self.
This separate reality or lower consciousness is an extension of one’s-
self (atma-jiva-vigraha) and is real yet subject to forgetfulness and
bewilderment due to the desire to be away from Krishna and no longer
depend directly on Him through pure unalloyed unconditional loving
devotional service. Ones consciousness then falls to the conditional
state of consciousness called the jiva-bhutah non-Krishna conscious
active state of awareness. In this state one still depends on Krishna
via His Maha-Vishnu expansions however, they are mostly unaware of
this fact and foolishly believe they directly and alone create their
existence and destiny within the confines of the maha-tattva or
material universe. This ‘individual lower self’ is transferred to the
maha-tattva and exists as trapped consciousness within ethereal and
biological bodies within the impermanent reality of the maha-tattva or
‘material universal dream that is under the jurisdiction of Krishna's
Brother Balarama in His Maha-Vishnu form’. The material universes’
within the mahat-tattva are the dreams of the sleeping Maha-
Vishnu.This jiva-bhutah state of consciousness can again further
transform to the jiva-nikaya inactive condition of awareness, also
within the theatre of Maha-Vishnu's material illusionary universe or
apparition (mahat-tattva), which is a dark cloud of 'the dreaming'
that is in one corner of Krishna's Personal Spiritual Creation or
Brahmajyoti. This Brahmajyoti/Brahman is effulgence full of unlimited
individual devotees as their real body serving on unlimited Spiritual
Planets, called Vishnuloka’s that surrounds/emanates from the body of
the Supreme Lord in His Personal Abode called Goloka-Vrndavana Planet.
Insert Painting of a Cowherd boy who turns his back on KRISHNA only
for a moment. The inattentive thoughts of the cowherd boy devotee as
his nitya-siddha eternally liberated body makes him not only forget
Krishna, but also forget his cowherd boy perpetual nitya-siddha-atma-
jiva-vigraha body he serves Krishna as. Like in a conscious trance or
dream of amnesia, the non-Krishna desires force one to follow the
directions of those thoughts as the jiva-bhutah consciousness and
transforms into the dreaming illusion trapped in ethereal and
biological bodies within material existence and experience repeated
birth, disease, old age and death (the nitya-baddha eternally
conditioned conscious state).
Even though similar to the dreams one has in their biological body,
the dreams transmitted by ones real bodily self (atma-vigraha) are
real because the mahat-tattva is a real and takes up a quarter of the
Personal Creation, Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti. The difference
between the Vaikuntha's and the mahat-tattva is the Vaikuntha's are
imperishable while the mahat-tattva, except for Maha-Vishnu and His
plenary expansions, are perishable and everything their goes through a
cycle of creation and annihilation or decay and re-construction.
Also within the mahat-tattva, exists a phenomenon left over from the
presents of the embodied jiva-bhutah consciousness when enthralled in
transitory decomposing biological vessels. These fossilized remains,
or the accumulation and build-up of matter (all matter devoid of life
is the left over phenomenon from the presents of life) accumulates and
expands as lifeless universes of death (fossilized matter) that the
embodied jiva-bhutah attempts to mould into their home or abode. This
‘matter’ is therefore Krishna's inferior energies making up the
impermanent suns, moons, solar systems, galaxies and universes within
the maha-tattva. In contrast, within the Goloka-Vrndavan/Vaikuntha
realm, everything is living, permanent and has eternal form, therefore
Krishna's inferior energies (lifeless matter) does not and cannot
exist there in Goloka-Vrndavan/Vaikuntha. This understanding of the
'dreaming' as real is a crucial realization because of the Mayavadi
belief it is all illusion. The word sarva-gata ("life is everywhere")
means the living entities, or rather the jiva-bhutah consciousness;
take shelter after being contained in ethereal and biological, just
about anywhere that can support life within the mahat-tattva however,
as previously explained, there are barron planets where only lifeless
matter exists. Modern science cannot understand what is barron and
what isn’t. For example, on the Moon and the Sun exist heavenly realms
that our biological body cannot see. In fact the biological body and
its technological material extensions, like the Hubble Telescope or
the Electron Microscope, cannot view the sub-space universe where
ethereal vessels, that contain the jiva-bhutah consciousness, exist.
Ethereal bodies, also known as ghostly bodies, subtle bodies or
Brahma-bhutahs, can be viewed by some embodied jiva-bhutah’s on the
secular plateform contained in their biological vessel nonetheless,
they can never prove what they personally sense through anything
biological or such bodies gross material surroundings.
Philip Adams is a journalist in Australia and he has offered
$1000,000 to prove the existence of Ghosts. For the reasons explained
above, no-one will win that million dollars because nothing biological
or the material dimension that biological container functions in can
prove the existence of the sub-space world. Technocally the jiva-
bhutah can exist anywhere however the vessel the transmitted
consciouisness has been contained in within the mahat-tattva cannot
survive everywhere, especially the biological vessel. Keep this in
mind when reading the following quote from Bhagavad-gītā
TRANSLATION
This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither
burned nor dried. He is everlasting; present everywhere, unchangeable,
immovable and eternally the same.
PURPORT
All these qualifications of the atomic soul (referring to size)
definitely prove that the individual soul is eternally the atomic
particle of the spirit whole, and he remains as small as an atom with
an eternal bodily form eternally, without change. The theory of monism
is very difficult to apply in this case, because the individual soul
is never expected to become one homogeneously. After liberation from
material contamination or mahat-tattva, the atomic soul (jiva-nikaya
transmitted consciousness) may prefer to remain as a spiritual spark
in the effulgent rays of the Supreme Personality of Godhead on the
outer edges of the mahat-tattva, but the intelligent souls or jiva-
bhutah consciousness will re-enter back into the spiritual planets to
again associate with the Personality of Godhead in their original
bodily form. The word sarva-gata ("all-pervading") is significant
because there is no doubt that living entities are all over God's
creation. They live on the land, in the water, in the air, within the
earth and even within fire. The belief that they are sterilized in
fire is not acceptable, because it is clearly stated here that the
soul cannot be burned by fire. Therefore, there is no doubt that there
are living entities also in the sun planet with suitable bodies to
live there. If the sun globe is uninhabited, then the word sarva-gata
— "living everywhere" — becomes meaningless.
The Vaishnava’s say the mahat-tattva or material universe (the dreams
of Maha-Vishnu) is real but temporary and that's why the material
universe is referred to as an illusion. It appears for a time then
disappears. In other words, in a million years from now Melbourne or
Sydney will seem as if it never existed. The same principle applies to
the biological vessels our consciousness possesses. Such a fading of
reality does not exist in the Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha realm. This
is the difference between ones dreams in their biological body and the
overview dreaming of the transmitted jiva-bhutah consciousness that
has entered the maha-tattva and possessed ethereal and biological
vessels. The problem is, due to the power of Maya Devi's sakti, they
both seem as real as each other.
The other three quarters of the Spiritual Sky, unlike the maha-tattva,
never decays and is a perpetual real place of unlimited relationships
with the two-armed form of Krishna on His central Goloka-Vrndavana
planet, or the four-armed Lord Vishnu on the surrounding Vishnuloka
Planets (also there are more names of Vishnu or God than there are
grains of sand on all the beaches on all the planets within all the
universe's that exist within the Mahat-tattva).
The Impersonalist yogis, jnani's or Impersonalist philosophers are
known as Mayavadi's, they see the universe as unreal and a dreaming
illusion. Their understanding is incorrect. The Vaishnava's see the
material dream in a completely different way than the Mayavadi's, who
offensively believes Krishna is also part of their illusionary dream.
The Impersonalists and Mayavadi’s cannot understand there are two
different forms of reality, ones real (the Vaikuntha’s that they
cannot perceive because they have no love or devotion to Krishna)
while the other is also real (the mahat-tattva or material universe),
but temporary. The bona fide eternal dominion of Krishna's Personal
creation is the Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti where Krishna's marginal
nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha devotees serve in Goloka-Vrndavana and the
Vaikuntha planets and not within the maha-tattva as some ‘Hindu’ sects
believe. Why worship the form of Maha-Vishnu whose duty it is to
directing the fallen souls (transmitted jiva-bhutah consciousness) to
the labyrinth or ethereal and biological bodies (path ways) so they
can express their freedom to exist in a non-Krishna conscious
condition? Why not just worship Krishna the creator of Maha-Vishnu?
Also within the Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti exists a dark cloud known
as the maha-tattva (material universes), this place is real but
subject to decay and is therefore transitory. In this book the word
'dream' is used to describe the secondary fallen non-Krishna conscious
condition of the atma-jiva-vigraha when transmitted as consciousness
(jiva-bhutah) to the mahat-tattva.Even on the impermanent heavenly
planets within the maha-tattva, ones thoughts and dreams are as real
as ones actions however, on our middle earthly planet, it is not like
that due to the gross biological containment, which is a further layer
of energy, generated by the jiva-bhutah consciousness within the maha-
tattva, that covers the ethereal (subtle body) vessel and suppresses
ones ability to manifest thoughts or dreams as actions.
The subtle body is the original incasement of the jiva-bhutah
'dreaming' consciousness when first entering the maha-tattva or
material universe. This ethereal body only subsists within the
heavenly and lower planetary systems (Explained in more detail on page
342) within the mahat-tattva. Both bodies are considered shekels
covering the jiva-bhutah consciousness, which is originally
transmitted from ones innovative position and individual body within
Krishna Lila (on the perpetual Spiritual planets). In this way of
thinking, the material universe is the invented figment of the non-
Krishna Conscious self that is transmitted as thoughts of selfish
dreams to the mahat-tattva (inferior energies or the place where
lifeless matter exists) when one's consciousness is no longer Krishna
Conscious, or aware of their own Krishna Conscious body.Although only
similar to one's dreaming creations while the biological body is
sleeping, the jiva-bhutah phantasm becomes their new self, transmitted
as a dreaming hallucination to that dark cloud in the Spiritual sky
that is under the jurisdiction of the dreaming Maha-Vishnu. This place
within one corner of the Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti is for those who
deny their original Krishna Conscious bodily self and live within
their own dream creations. In this eternally condition state (nitya-
baddha), one is unable to distinguish reality from illusion due to
being unable to remember their real perpetual bodily origins in the
dynamic blissful active Krishna Conscious service in Goloka-Vrndavana/
Vaikuntha Kingdom.
This is how forgetfulness of Krishna transports one consciously (not
one's perpetual body) into the impermanent 'dream' universe managed
not directly by Krishna, but by Maha-Vishnu who is an expansion of
Balarama, the Brother of Krishna (the first plenary expansion of
Krishna). In this way Maha-Vishnu's dreams within the maha-tattva are
simultaneously the ‘imaginings or non-Krishna conscious thoughts or
dreams’ that originate from ones perpetual atma-jiva-vigraha body.
These non-Krishna conscious dreams or thoughts manifest as their lower
conscious self while forgetful of Krishna and their unending nitya-
siddha-svarupa-atma-jiva-sat-cit-ananda-vigraha body (the real self).
It is important to understand the fact that ones original body or self
never leaves Krishna's ceaseless Abode, the only way to enter the maha-
tattva, where Maha-Vishnu is dreaming-up the material manifestation,
is through ones own non-Krishna conscious dreams or thoughts. Such
thoughts project one as their lower non-Krishna conscious self-known
as the jiva-bhutah and possibly later as the impersonal jiva-nikaya
consciousness as already explained.
Nothing just happens by chance in our material impermanent universe
(maha-tattva); everything is constructed and built for the expressions
of transmitted consciousness and is already in place for the visiting
jiva-bhutah. The maha-tattva or material universe already has a blue
print directory that will meet the requirements of anything the jiva-
bhutah's can imagine, dream-up or think of. If they can imagine a
certain situation, then it is possible. It may take a long time to
achieve that desires, but it is possible – anything is possible within
the maha-tattva. That is also why Krishna also expands himself as Lord
Shiva. It is also why there are billions upon billions of material
universes within the mahat-tattva. It therefore seems it is due to the
'out of control imagination’ of the jiva-bhutah's (only a minority
dare come to the material universes) that cause the material universe
to be extremely variegated and vast however, everything is already
known by Maha-Vishnu. He has already created every path they could
ever imagine. Maha-Vishnu has also created the heavenly planets,
middle planets and hellish planets in the mahat-tattva via His
different expansions and jiva-bhutah representatives known as
demigods. Collectively they provide the facilities in the mahat-tattva
for the visiting jiva-bhutah or jiva-sakti consciousness that is
transmitted to the ‘these dream temporary realities’ of Maha-Vishnu as
already explained.
On the heavenly planets the embodied jiva-bhutah’s or souls are
convinced they are in a spiritual atmosphere or reality because of
intense pleasure that seems to go on forever. On this elevated realm
ones dreams and thoughts are the same as reality. In other words
thinking is on the same level as actions. This trait they brought with
them from outside the mahat-tattva in the greater Vaikuntha aspect of
the Spiritual Sky. When one ‘dreams’ on this platform in the heavenly
planets or in the Vaikuntha’s in ones perpetual bodily form, one
should not think they are on the same level as the dreams one has in a
biological vessel because they are not the same as explained above.
Due to forgetfulness and the intoxication of self centered heavenly
pleasures, performed in a clever display of artificial selflessness,
the embodied jiva-bhutah consciousness (contained in an ethereal
vessel provided by Maha-Vishnu) on the heavenly planets have set
themselves up at the center of everything as a King, demigod, sadhu,
swami, husband, society leader, president etc, instead of Krishna.
There is a fine line between real selfless dedication to ones
Spiritual Master and Krishna and deceitful selflessness that is
designed to win followers adoration, opulence, respect and worship.
This is why one has to be a qualified aspiring devotee in order to
choose carefully a correct Guru or Sannyasi in ISKCON or outside of
ISKCON in the present Vaishnava communities of the 21st century so not
to be cheated. In the 1980’s many where cheated because they were not
qualified disciples. The intoxicating effect of the heavenly planets
makes one believe they are their forever, even though one can remain
there for hundreds of thousands of years, the embodied jiva-bhutah
consciousness cannot stay there and eventually one falls down from
there to lower heavenly realm or to the earthly secular realm where
the ethereal container is further covered by a biological vessel. The
embodied jiva-bhutah, due to the perpetual bodily source of its
transmission outside the mahat-tattva, begin their existence
attempting to live in the present however, unlike the Vaikuntha realm
of the Spiritual Sky, that is perpetually in the present without time,
past and future,
The transmitted embodied jiva-bhutah consciousness that enters that
dark cloud (mahat-tattva) within the Spiritual Sky cannot exist on
that perpetual level outside the mahat-tattva due to ones non-Krishna
conscious desires. Everything within the dreams of Maha-Vishnu inside
the mahat-tattva is under the hex of impermanence, time, past,
present, future and karma. The rest of the Spiritual Sky, Vaikuntha’s
or Brahmajyoti that surround Krishna Supreme and central planet of
Goloka-Vrndavana, is not effected with past and future due to their
permanent nature. The embodied jiva-bhutah consciousness becomes so
conditioned by its independent existence within the confines of the
mahat-tattva that as soon as the already embodied jiva-bhutah falls to
secular world of biological vessels, the conditioned soul or jiva-
bhutah by now is completely conditioned to believe they are the bodily
containers they are confined to. In this way one can live their
existence without any concern or belief in God.
All bodily vessels and their surrounding realities are provided by
maha-Vishnu according to the desire, dreams, thoughts, wishes, needs
and requirements of the transmitted jiva-bhutah or jiva-sakti
consciousness. The jiva-bhutah’s ethereal and biological body is
provided by Maha-Vishnu to forget Krishna or God if they desire
however, there are also many demigod, Vaishnava and aspiring devotee
ethereal and biological vessels also within the dreams of Maha-Vishnu
within the mahat-tattva.Unfortunately most ethereal and biological
vessels are provided by Maha-Vishnu to forget Krishna or God if that
is what they want.
Why would Maha-Vishnu sanction this?
This means all the ‘biological human bodily vessels’ of atheist or
agnostic scientists, politicians etc are created by Maha-Vishnu due to
facilitate their desires, requirements and karma. The embodied jiva-
bhutah’s who choose live their ‘dreams’ in the 21st century and not
believe in a God but believe in technology is also sanctioned by Maha-
Vishnu. What ever their desire then Maha-Vishnu will facilitate it as
long as they deserve it through the results of karma. In fact, if one
wants to forget Krishna for an almost eternity, then He will
facilitated that as well!
Why would Maha-Vishnu allow that?
Maha-Vishnu provides ‘everything’ for the embodied jiva-bhutah
consciousness after entering His dreams within the mahat-tattva. Keep
in mind the jiva-bhutah consciousness has been transmitted from
outside the mahat-tattva from the origins of that transmission which
is their perpetual atma-jiva-vigraha body. Once embodied within the
mahat-tattva both good and bad is provided by Maha-Vishnu. Every
ethereal and biological vessel from the greatest demons to the
preeminent saints has been provided by Maha-Vishnu to meet the desires
and karma of all those who choose to enter His domain. He provides all
costumes or suites so one can live out their desires separate from
Krishna or even to be a rare devotee of Krishna in His domain.
Why does Maha-Vishnu even facilitate the suffering bodies and hellish
planets?
Ironically it is out of love Maha-Vishnu (representing ultimately
Krishna) creates all the ethereal and biological vessels as well as
their material surroundings in the heavenly, secular and hellish
worlds. Krishna therefore provides what ever the rebellious souls
(jiva-bhutah consciousness’s) desire out of love because he does not
force them to love Him and does not force them, his marginal potency,
to serve Him. This is why the mahat-tattva exists; Krishna does not
‘assimilate’ His marginal atma-vigraha devotees as automaton servants.
In the perpetual Vaikuntha Spiritual planets and even in Goloka-
Vrndavana, there is always choice. Krishna knows this and has
therefore created an alternative universe in one corner of the
Spiritual Sky (mahat-tattva managed by His brother’s (Balarama)
expansion Maha-Vishnu) for those who choose not to stay with Krishna
as their original bodily self. In that alternative universe of duality
and impermanence, Balarama, through His Maha-Vishnu form, further
creates the ethereal and biological vessels that always exist in the
mahat-tattva always ready for those who choose to ‘do their own thing
without Krishna’. In this way, whether they know it or not, the
transmitted jiva-bhutah consciousness is never alone because
everything around them, including the body or vessel they are in, is
provided by Maha-Vishnu.
Always existing means those vessels are there in blueprint waiting to
be activated by a visiting jiva-bhutah consciousness after being
transmitted from their perpetual bodily identity and body in either
Vaikuntha or Goloka-Vrndavana. All ethereal and biological bodies or
vessels are simultaneously provided by Maha-Vishnu and at the same
time activated by the desires, dreams and thoughts of the visiting
jiva-bhutah consciousness. It is therefore a fact of the mahat-tattva
manifestation that the bodily vessel one is presently in has been the
vessel of many, many other jiva-bhutah’s in the restricted time and
space of the mahat-tattva manifestation.
This is how great devotee’s can see past present and future that is
often mention in the Vedas They see all the mahat-tattva’s past,
present and future from outside of the mahat-tattva. Nothing is new
because it is continuously happening, in fact every aspect of every
movement of every step along the extensive twisting pathway of each
ethereal and biological vessel or bodies development from birth to its
death is always suspended in that moment in time like an existing maze
or labyrinth within the mahat-tattva for the jiva-bhutah consciousness
to pass through. This is not to be confused with ‘eternal
reoccurrence’ because nothing is reoccurring since everything is
already eternally known and put in place by Maha-Vishnu who already
knows past, present and future.
The paradox here is it all exists at the same time and it all doesn’t
exit at the same time – depending on where you are viewing the mahat-
tattva.
>From the outer surface of the mahat-tattva, outside the dreams of Maha-
Vishnu, one is above the territory of time, impermanence, past, future
and forgetfulness. Their full knowledge allows them to see the
phenomenon of past, present and future in the mahat-tattva all in the
present, the only reality outside the mahat-tattva.
In the alternative material universes (mahat-tattva)
The jiva-bhutah is simply chasing their desires, which are
simultaneously the script or blue print already mapped out by Maha-
Vishnu. He is the seer of past, present and future. In our material
impermanent universe (mahat-tattva); everything (ethereal, biological
and material) is constructed and built for the expressions of the
individual transmitted consciousness that emanates from ones perpetual
bodily form from the Vaikuntha’s. The maha-tattva is already assembled
and already in place for the visiting jiva-bhutah from its very
beginnings to its ends. It is possible to see past, present and future
in the maha-tattva because from the view point of the Vaikuntha’s one
can see, if Krishna invites them like He did with Arjuna, one can the
entire duality of the maha-tattva or the universal form or the
workings of Maha-Vishnu. The mahat-tattva or material universe already
has a blue print directory that will meet the requirements of any non-
Krishna conscious or even partly Krishna conscious desires the jiva-
bhutah's can imagine, dream-up or think of. Every conceivable desire
has an ethereal and biological vessel on hand for their purchase
already in place. Nothing can exist without Krishna creating it, as
the Bhagavad-gita says ‘not a blade of grass moves without His
sanction’. All ethereal and biological vessels viewed from outside the
mahat-tattva, or from the over-view picture from the Vaikuntha’s are
seen like one sees a maze or a labyrinth made of hedges from a
aeroplane in the sky, seeing every phase of the winding path of the
labyrinth or maze. Maha-Vishnu has already put everything in place so
the transmitted jiva-bhutah consciousness can experience what ever it
is they desire. If they can imagine or dream-up a certain situation,
then it is possible. Remember, on the absolute level thoughts, dreams
and actions are not different from each other.
That is why there are billions of material universes within the mahat-
tattva.
It therefore seems it is due to the 'out of control imagination of
some jiva-bhuta' (only a minority dare come to the material universes)
that cause the material universe to be extremely variegated and vast
however, everything is already known by Maha-Vishnu, He has already
created everything in His dreams. The visiting jiva-bhutah’s simply
are attracted to an already created ethereal and biological body that
equals their desires and karma. How karma (ones own actions and their
reactions) unfolds and traps the jiva-bhutah consciousness is
practically impossible to map out however, everything is seen clearly
from the Vaikuntha realm that is beyond the time and space of the
mahat-tattva.
The jiva-bhuta is simply chasing their desires, which are
simultaneously the script or blue print already mapped out by Maha-
Vishnu. He is the seer of past, present and future.
Maha-Vishnu is an expansion of Lord Balarama. Maha-Vishnu's duty and
obligation is to fulfil the desires of ones lower-self that only
exists when one denies their Krishna Conscious atma-jiva-vigraha body
in Goloka-Vrndavan/Vaikuntha. Maha-Vishnu makes possible for the
'thoughts, imaginings, desires and dreams' of ones lower self to be
fulfilled into a reality (real but fading) that is only possible
within the maha-tattva. It is only there the rebellious souls (jiva-
bhutah's) can carve out their own destiny within the material universe
built by their thoughts and regulated by karma that are also
simultaneously the dreams of Maha-Vishnu. In this way ones lower self
(jiva-bhutah consciousness, life force or soul) seeks out happiness by
trying many different ethereal or biological bodily garments on, only
for the outer biological covering of the ethereal container to
eventually decay and become part of the lifeless (Krishna's inferior
energies) material universe.
