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 -
Past, Present and Future only exists in the material creation causing constant decay and impermanence .
Whereas in Vaikuntha and Goloka Vrindavana there is only the "eternal present" where everything is for ever fresh, new and devoid of any decomposition.
