Read again what BST says:
"Vishnu has three energies, one of them is meant for manifestation of His eternal Abode, another Potency is for creating all human souls who are emanations from His Tatastha-shakti found between the temporal and eternal worlds. By this potency He creates human souls."

To claim that there before they were created as described here, these souls existed as Krsna's servants in Goloka is a total fabrication, completely illogical, and baseless. You concoct such things to support your pet theory. There is nothing in the shastras or in the writings of previous acharyas that support such view.

Thus we must conclude that Prabhupada inserted the 'fall from Eden' references for the sake of preaching in the West.
