Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 >From Hari-sauri Prabhu's Transcendental Diary 1.9, describing Mayapur festival 1976 As if to help us keep a proper perspective on our tiny lives, the Srimad-Bhagavatam verse described the position of the Lord in His form as Karanodakasayi Visnu, the creator of the material worlds. His existence is turiya, in the fourth dimension. Prabhupada compared how He lies in slumber on the Causal Ocean with an expert swimmer who lies for hours with eyes closed on the surface of the water. As Visnu exhales, the material universes come out, and when He inhales, everything is again retracted into His body. All this happens within a few seconds by His measurement. Yet that interim period between His breathing out and breathing in is, for us, an incalculable number of billions of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
