About this item
Sri Krishna, as the original Lord and source of everything, has four more extraordinary transcendental qualities than His other expansions. They are as follows:
- He is the performer of wonderful varieties of pastimes (especially His childhood pastimes);
- He is surrounded by the gopis endowed with wonderful love of Godhead ;
- He can attract all living entities within the universe by playing on His flute;
- The wonderful excellence of His beauty cannot be rivaled anywhere in the creation.
Therefore, Krishna is addressed as Madana-mohana, "the attractor of Cupid"; Govinda, "He who gives pleasure to the cows"; Gopala, "the protector of the cows"; Yasodanandana, "the dear son of Mother Yasoda"; Nandanandana, "the dear son of Nanda Maharaja" and Gopinatha, "the Lord of the cowherd girls".
The ultimate expression of the Supreme Personality ofGodhead is found in His personal abode, Sri Vrindavan, which is located in the central planet Krishnaloka of the spiritual world.
A manifestation of Sri Vrindavan can be found in this planet, which is identical to the original in Krishnaloka, although specific pastimes of the Lord differentiates them.
Sri Krishna never leaves Vrindavan, which is a simple and sweet village setting. Engaged in a peaceful life of tending the cows and calves of His father Nanda Maharaja, who would ever think that the Supreme Lord of everything would be a beautiful young cowherd boy performing such menial tasks?
