past (3)

Prabhupāda states:
Śrīla Śukadeva Gosvāmī was a Vaiṣṇava from the beginning; therefore, there was no need for him to undergo all the processes of the varṇāśrama institution. Ultimately the aim of varṇāśrama-dharma is to turn a crude man into a pure devotee of the Lord, or a Vaiṣṇava. Anyone, therefore, who becomes a Vaiṣṇava accepted by the first-class Vaiṣṇava, or uttama-adhikārī Vaiṣṇava, is already considered a brāhmaṇa, regardless of his birth or past deeds. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu accepted this principle and recognized Śrīla Haridāsa Ṭhākura as the ācārya of the holy name, although Ṭhākura Haridāsa appeared in a Mohammedan family.
(SB 1.2.2 Purport)

PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE?

Everything is happening in the "present" for Krishna, to Him there is no past or future. This maybe hard to understand for some.

Srila Prabhupada - "Kṛṣṇa is always there. So where is the past, present, future?

Five thousand years is a very long time, but for Kṛṣṇa five millions years, or trillions of years has no meaning, He has no past or future, for Him there is only the eternal present.

Kṛṣṇa has no past, present. Vedāhaṁ samatītāni [Bg. 7.26] = He knows past, present, EVERYTHING.

Here is it said -

bahūni me vyatītāni
janmāni tava cārjuna
tāny ahaṁ veda sarvāṇi
[Bg. 4.5]

How can Krsna be old? He also Krsna knows EVERYTHING!

Everything means the "eternal presents" for Kṛṣṇa. So there is no question of past, present and future." (8th February, 1974, Vrindavana)

Conclusion -
