Although I know nothing about this subject matter but I've just read the following lines in the Bhagavatam (Bhag. 10.39.53-55., p.): "¶rj€ is His internal potency for performing pastimes; she expands as the tulas… plant in this world." (purport by ®r…la Vivan€tha Cakravart…) It may help. Your servant, Sacisuta das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
