dev 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2006 Haribol, It's said that lord's pastime is eternal . Is there any description that where all Lords pass time takes place. I understood that Lords pastimes take place only in earthly planets where Jivas get the karma for their deeds. So are there more earthly planets.

theist 1 Report post Posted October 30, 2006 But there is no karma in vaikuntha or even higher or lower planets other than earthly planet. YS, dev Dev, the Lord's pastimes are eternal and free from karma, not dependent on karma. Our karmic debt is a factor in our not being able to appreciate the Lord's pastimes. When the Lord reveals something of his eternal lila's to those still in karmic bondage that is His grace and not a karmic reaction. He gives us a tiny peek into what we are missing in hopes of attracting us closer to Him. So the full blown, uninhibited pastimes of Sri Krsna in all His various expansions are what the spiritual world is composed of, and so Vaikuntha is completely filled with jiva souls in various relationships with the Lord. The more intimate of those lila's are said to be reserved for more intimate settings like Goloka. So Vaikuntha(the spiritual world) is nothing but the Lord's lila's lived out in various moods.
