You have achieved perfection if you use your mind thinking what to write that glorifies in full the holy names of Krsnah & Govinda. You will fall from your so-called level of consciousness if you think Lord Siva is on the same level with Krsnah & Govinda. This is what happened to Guitarist Upabarhana. He wanted to become one with Flutist Govinda. Instead of playing for the latter, the former played music to attract the girls in the assembly. Guitarist Upabarhana thought he could be like Flutist Govinda who plays the flute to attract the gopis. Thus Upabarhana was cursed by the Prajapatis to become a sudra in the next life because they knew he was trying to excell Govinda when doing kirtan before an audience. When sudra Upabarhana realized he was only a back up of Flutist Govinda, in the next life, sudra Upabarhana( devoid of his guitar ) became the Vina player Narada Muni of Flutist Govinda.

BG(Before Govardhana hill was lifted up), God`s name was Krsnah. AG(After Govardhana hill was lifted up) God`s name became Govinda, the Primeval Lord. When Govinda wants to create, He becomes the four-armed Visnu-Narayana. But when He wants to play the cowherd boy playing the flute in the Vrndavan forest to attract His girlfriends, the gopis, He becomes the two-armed Govinda. If God wants to act as a Ksatriya He`s Krsnah in His Vasudeva form. Even Krsnah is attracted to His form as Govinda. The same attraction He has for Radha. This is the reason why Govinda is described as the Primeval Lord.

Thank you so much, Sonic Yogi, for the youtube presentation of the Quantum Domain Theory presented by Professor Deep. You just made my day.

Yah, that the universe started with a Big Bang.

Even if God Krsnah is inconceivable, God Krsnah reveals Himself fully to His eternal servitor only.

Krisnah first incarnates as the three purusa-avataras, namely the Maha-Visnu or Karnadakasayi Visnu avatara, the Garbhodakasayi avatara and Ksirodakasayi avatara. This is confirmed in the Satvata-tantra. Krisnah`s energies can also be divided into three: His energy of thinking, feeling and acting. When He exhibits His thinking energy, He is the Supreme Lord; when He exhibits His feeling energy, He is Lord Vasudeva; when He exhibits His acting energy, He is Sankarsana Balarama. Without His thinking, feeling, and acting, there would be no possibility of creation. Although there`s no creation in the spiritual world- for there the planets are beginningless-there is creation in the material world. In either case, however, both the spiritual and material worlds are manifestations of the energy of acting, in which Krsnah acts in the form of Sankarsana and Balarama. The spiritual world of the vaikuntha planets and krsnahloka, the supreme planet, is situated in His energy of thinking. Although there is no creation in the spiritual world, which is eternal, it is still to be understood that the Vaikuntha planets depend on the thinking energy of the Supreme Lord. This thinking energy is described in Brahma-samhita(5.2), where it is said that the supreme abode, known as Goloka, is manifest like a lotus flower with hundreds of petals. Everything there is manifested by Ananta, the Balarama or Sankarsana form. The material cosmic manifestation and its different universes are manifest through maya, or material energy. However, one should not think that material nature or material energy is the cause of this cosmic manifestation. Rather, it is caused by the Supreme Lord, who uses His different expansions through material nature. In other words, there is no possiblility of any creation without the superintendence of the Supreme Lord. The form by which the energy of material creation works to bring creation is called the Sankarsana form, and it is understood that this cosmic manifestation is created under the superintendence of the Supreme Lord. It is confirmed in Srimad Bhagavatam(1.3.1) that the Supreme Personality of Godhead descends as the first purusa incarnation of the material creation. Known as Maha-Visnu, He lies within the Causal Ocean, and He is also the original incarnation in the material world. He is the Lord of time, nature, cause and effect, mind, ego, the five elements, the three modes of nature, the senses and the universal form. Although He is master of all objects movable and immovable in the material world, He is totally independent. When the first purusa, Maha-Visnu, glances over material nature, material nature becomes agitated, and the purusa avatara impregnates matter with living entities. Simply by the glance of maha-Visnu, consciousness is created and this consciousness is known as maha-tattva. The predominating Deity of maha-tattva is Vasudeva. Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya Sarvam Iti Mahatma Sudarlabha which means " May I offer my humble obeisances unto Lord Vasudeva( Krsnah) who is the Cause of all causes."

If you don`t believe me, please, read the 10th Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam Chapter 8 verse 32-45 entitled, " The Name Ceremony, His Pranks, and Again the Universe Within His Mouth." You can do a google search...

When Mother Yasoda opened Krsnah`s mouth, she saw the whole universe.(10th Canto Srimad Bhagavatam). Now you know.

The fact is we human beings can never achieve spiritual perfection if we don`t render devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsnah.

Well, maybe you`d settle for an attachment if God denies you`d be His spouse.

We should therefore blast the whole world with chanting of the holy names of God: " Hare Krsnah Hare Krsnah Krsnah Krsnah Hare Hare/ Hare Ramah Hare Ramah Ramah Ramah Hare Hare ". The time is NOW, not tomorrow.

The human form is just one of the infinitesimal form manifestations of the infinite form, Krsnah.

Like Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, His Divine Grace Abhay Charan de Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is an eternal servitor of Krsnah.

Our spiritual understanding of reality will never be complete if it`s not dovetailed with Krsnah.

No one can possess you if you chant the Hare Krsnah mantra: " Hare Krsnah Hare Krsnah Krsnah Krsnah Hare Hare."

Not a moment is wasted when we are with Krsnah.

Yes, love_alliance18. We shouldn`t worry when the world ends, but there`s got to be one among us here who first goes to hell. Otherwise how would one know he`s in haven.

I could be your spouse.

It`s an advait diagram

Try eyeballing a newly born child. He`s egoless. If he has an ego it`s unreal. Ego is the identity we give to this child. It becomes false when he starts accepting the name we`ve given him. According to Lord Caitanya, " His constitutional position is that he is a pure living soul. His material body cannot be identified with his real self; nor is the mind his real identity, nor his intelligence, nor false ego. His identity is that of eternal servitor of the Supreme Lord Krsnah. His position is that he`s transcendental. Krsnah`s superior energy is spiritual in constitution, and the inferior external energy is material. Since he is between the material and spiritual energies, his position is marginal. Belonging to Krsnah`s marginal potency, he is simultaneously one with and different from Krsnah. Because he is spirit, he is not different from Krsnah, and because he is only a minute particle of Krsnah, he is different from Him." Here Lord Caitanya does not give the information about the spirit soul that is already described in Bhagavad-gita. Rather, he begins from the point where Krsnah ended His instruction. Lord Caitanya is Krsnah Himself, and from here He begins this instruction to Sanatana from this point of view where He ended His instruction to Arjuna in Bhagava-gita.

For the advaits, it`s absolute monism. For the dvaits, it`s dualist monism. For me, it`s integral monism. I don`t like to be one with God because that`s tantamount to commiting suicide(Prabhupada). I don`t like duality (jiva is one thing and God is another greater thing) because it stops there. I chose Lord Caitanya`s philosophy that the self(soul) not false ego is inconceivably and simultaneously one and different from God. It`s an idea urging advaits and dvaits to settle their differences and render devotional service instead to God who`s called by so many names. The foremost of which is Krsna. While others prefer to call Him Visnu. For the shakts it`s Durga. For the sivaits it`s Siva. It`s to each his own, so to speak. Be as it may, if one is a shakt then he should render devotional service to Durga. If one is a sivait then he should render devotional service to Siva. If one is a vaishnava then he should render devotional service to Krsna(Vishnu). Devotional service therefore is the key to the answer(integral monism). And why not? Even atheists render service to their employers in order to earn so why can`t a theist do that to his God?

Is that description the same as, Narcissism which describes the trait of excessive self-love, based on self-image or ego? The term was derived from the Greek mythology Narcissus. Narcissus was a handsome Greek youth who rejected the desperate advances of the nymph Echo. As punishment, he was doomed to fall in love with his own reflection in a pool of water. Unable to consummate his love Narcissus pined away and changed into a flower that bears his name, narcissus. Sigmund Freud believed that some narcissism is an essential part of all of us from birth and was the first to use the term in psychology. Andrew Morrison claims that in adults, a reasonable amount of healthy narcissism allows the individual`s perception of his needs to be balanced in relation to others. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism)

Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, " O almighty Lord, I have no desire to accumulate wealth, nor do I desire beautiful women, nor do I want any number of followers. I only want Your causeless devotional service birth after birth."

That the Divine Aspects are each regarded as being endowed with a power or energy of their own called shakti which is represented symbolically under a feminine form, the Shakti of Brahma is Sarawasti. That of Vishnu is Lakshmi and that of Shiva is Parvati.
