Regarding Lord Visnu
November 14 , 2007
Hare Krishna,
Regarding Lord Krishna's manifestations as Vishnu who responsible for the material creation. We should first understand the Lord Krishna is the origin of all other manifestations. Just as a candle can be lit from another, and after being lit is has the same lighting capacity, the origin of all other expansions (no matter if they be guna avatars, yuga avatars, lila avatars, shakti avatars or others) is Krishna.
The expansions of Krishna in regards to material creation are explained in the second canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam. But briefely Maha Vishnu (Karanadaksaya Visnu) lies in the causal ocean and from His breathing and pores all the universes are manifest. He then expands and enters each individual universe as Kshirodaksaya Visnu, from that Visnu expansion Lord Brahma is born from a lotus stem that emanates from His navel. Then from this Vishnu manifestation Kshirodayaksi Visnu enter the hearts of all living entities who take up residence in that particular universe.
The expansions of Godhead are unlimited like the waves of the ocean.
Your servant,
Dulal Chandra dasa
