On that supreme planet the Lord enjoys His transcendental bliss in manifold forms and all the opulences of the Vaikunthas are fully manifested on that one planet. Like Krishna, His companions are also filled with the six opulences. In the Padma Purana (Uttara-khanda 255.57) it is stated that material energy and spiritual energy are separated by the river Viraja. That river flows from the sweat of the first purusa incarnation. On the other bank of the Viraja is the eternal, limitless and blissful nature, called the spiritual heaven, the spiritual kingdom or the kingdom of God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\"><a href=\"#_ftnref8\" name=\"_ftn8\">[8]<\/a> Satya-loka, Tapa-loka, Jana-loka, Mahar-loka, Svar-loka, Bhuvar-loka, Bhu-loka, Atala-loka, Vitala-loka, Sutala-loka, Talatala-loka, Mahatala-loka, Rasatala-loka, Patala-loka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\"><a href=\"#_ftnref9\" name=\"_ftn9\">[9]<\/a> Finite is the opposite of infinite, that is, limited in their capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">This is a section of the book \u201cHarinama Cintamani (English)\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">To buy the complete book,<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kadachaeditions.com\/art\/harinama-cintamani-english\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">click above<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Spiritual World of Krishna is Vishnu-tattva and Pure Reality Krsnera cid-vibhuta-i visnu-tattva suddha-tattva These spiritual manifestations are not of the nature of matter which is transformed by Maya.
