Although He Is In His Own Abode, Called Goloka Vrndavana, He Has Expanded Throughout Creation By His Energy

[Gavin Swinden]

(Although He is situated in His own abode, which is called Goloka Vṛndāvana, He has expanded throughout the creation by His energy)

 

"Jyotsnā means illumination. Illumination has expanded. That is . . . We can understand, if there is dark place and if there is a fireplace in that dark, immediately there is illumination. That is expanded. Similarly, God is situated in His own place.

 

That is called Goloka Vṛndāvana. Goloka eva nivasaty akhilātma-bhūtaḥ. That is God. Although He is situated in His own abode, which is called Goloka Vṛndāvana, He has expanded throughout the creation by His energy."
