<\/a>The eternal form of Krishna<\/span><\/h2>\n

Krishna-rupa nitya<\/span><\/p>\n

Krishna and Krishna’s form are identical. His Name and His form are a unique substance. They are never different.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whoever remembers the Holy Name associates with the form. There is no difference between the Name and the form. They dance on different stages.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>The eternity of Krishna’s qualities<\/span><\/h2>\n

Krishna-guna nityatva<\/span><\/p>\n

Krishna possesses sixty-four qualities which are infinite, boundless. In His avataras these qualities are only partially manifested[1]<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of these qualities are partially present in Brahma, Siva and other Devata controllers of the universe. Narayana possesses sixty qualities.<\/span><\/p>\n

All these eternal qualities are constantly present in the Holy Name, and an unlimited number of qualities pervade Vaikuntha.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>The eternity of Krishna’s pastimes<\/span><\/h2>\n

Krishna-lilara nityatva<\/span><\/p>\n

The waves of these qualities spread like the pastimes of the Lord. These perfectly spiritual pastimes manifest in Goloka, Vaikuntha and Vraja.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>There is no difference between the spiritual Name, form, qualities and pastimes<\/span><\/h2>\n

Cid-vastute nama, rupa, guna, lila vastu haite prthak naya<\/span><\/p>\n

When the Name, form, qualities and pastimes of the Lord appear, they are not different from each other[2]<\/a>. The material attributes of the conditioned Jivas are different[3]<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Names, forms, qualities, and activities of a pure Jiva are the same[4]<\/a>. But when he takes refuge in matter, they become something else.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is no trace of matter in Krishna. His Name, form, qualities and pastimes are a unique tattva.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[1]<\/a> Of these 64, 50 qualities are present in small parts even in the Jivas, while they are fully present in the personality of Krishna. Then there are 5 other qualities that are present in Vishnu and partly in Siva. Then another 5 at the Narayana level. Finally, there are four qualities which are only in Krishna, which are: (1) He is capable of manifesting wonderful pastimes; (2) He is expert in playing the transcendental flute; (3) He is surrounded by loving devotees; (4) He possesses unparalleled personal beauty.<\/span><\/p>\n

[2]<\/a> Nama, rupa, guna, lila respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

[3]<\/a> The material attributes of the Jivas are different from the transcendental qualities of the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n

[4]<\/a> The Jiva never has the same qualities as Krishna, but they are the same because they are equally transcendental in nature.<\/span><\/p>\n
