Guest guest Posted February 5, 1999 Report Share Posted February 5, 1999 It is said that Krsna never takes a step out of Vrndabana. But we also read in Krsna book that Krsna went to Mathura & Dvaraka. I was not able to understand this point properly till I read Rupa Goswami's Laghu Bhagavatamrta. He states: The Lord's pastimes that are visible in the material world are called 'prakata' (manifest). Other pastimes, which are not visible in the material world, are called 'aprakata' (not manifest). 439 In His prakata pastimes, Lord Krsna travels from Gokula to Mathura to Dvaraka. 440 In each of these places His aprakata pastimes are eternally present. This is stated again and again in Srimad-Bhagavatam 10.90.48 (quoted in Text 430). So in this way we can understand that in His prakrta lila, He leaves Vrndabana but in his aprakrta lila, He never takes a step out of Vrndabana. SRILA RUPA GOSWAMI PRABHUPADA KI JAY!
