====================

 

Nice find. Could you translate please?

 

I forgot where I found this:

 

Brahmavaivarta Purana 4.9.13

 

The primary forms of the Lord are Nrsimha, Rama, and the splendid

master of Svetadvipa. The most perfect, full, most complete,

original form of the Supreme Lord is Sri Krsna, who resides in

Goloka, the highest realm in the spiritual sky

----

 

Might anyone have the sanskrit to verify the translation?

Hare Krishna,

 

While Brahma vaivarta has numerous verses that

extoll Krishna showing Him to be Supreme, I don't know

if our acharyas have used it anywhere to establish

Krishna or Srimati Radharani or Goloka's supreme

position.There are few problems associated:

 

a) Being a purana of Rajasic category it may not

carry much weight against sattvic puranas.

b) It has things like Srimati and Vrindadevi and

Sridhama cursing each other and forced to take

birth etc,though it can always be called Lord's Lila

but nevertheless paints a not so pure picture.It is

the opinion of some that the descriptions of Goloka is

more of Aisvarya maya.

c)Few editions of the Purana show Goloka to be

within the Material world I suppose and hence is not

watertight in establishing Krishna/Goloka's position.

 

I think our acharyas mainly used Padma purana to

establish the superiority of Krishna's form in

addition to Srimad Bhagavatham.
