Everyone follows My path in all respects.” Kṛṣṇa reciprocates with the living entities according to their desire to serve Him as a servant, friend, parent, or lover.

There they worshiped the Supreme Personality of Godhead Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, who lies on the Ocean of Milk, by reciting the Vedic mantras known as the Puruṣa-sūkta. While sitting in trance, Lord Brahmā heard the words of Lord Viṣṇu vibrating in the sky. Thus he told the demigods: “O demigods, hear from me the order of the Supreme Person, and execute it attentively without delay. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who has full potency, will personally appear as the son of Vasudeva. For as long as the Lord moves on earth to diminish its burden by His own potency in the form of time, all of you demigods should appear through plenary portions as sons and grandsons in the family of the Yadus, and your wives should also appear in that dynasty. The foremost manifestation of Kṛṣṇa is Saṅkarṣaṇa, the origin of all incarnations within this material world. Before Lord Kṛṣṇa appears, this original Saṅkarṣaṇa will appear as Baladeva, just to please Kṛṣṇa in His transcendental pastimes.”* <h3>World Avataras</h3> ![[0105_BTG-20-5-p.9.jpg]] *Śrīla Prabhupāda på promenad vid Röda torget i Moskva i juni 1971.

Thus the child came out, but he immediately went away and became the great Śukadeva Gosvāmī.* <h3>Lord Brahma Hears the Gayatri Mantra</h3> ![[0030_TLC-23.jpg]] *After being born out of the lotus growing from the navel of Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, Lord Brahmā turned his attention toward the task of creation. But he could see only darkness in every direction. Then Brahmā heard the sound tapa (penance) vibrated in the ether, and he sat in meditation. After one thousand celestial years, the sound of Kṛṣṇa's flute entered into the ear of Brahmā as the Vedic mantra oṁ. When the sound vibration of Kṛṣṇa's flute was expressed through the mouth of Brahmā, it became the Gāyatrī mantra. Thus by the influence of Kṛṣṇa's flute, Brahmā, the supreme creature and first living entity of this material universe, attained all Vedic knowledge and became the original spiritual master of all living entities.* <h3>Krsna Speaks to Maitreya and Uddhava</h3> ![[0036_-SB-3-1-5-.jpg]] *"Because of your pure and unflinching devotional service, your visit to Me in this lonely place is a great boon for you."* <h3>Krsna Kills Sisupala</h3> ![[0044_SB-7-1-1.jpg]] <h3>Narada Muni Instructs Maharaja Yudhisthira</h3> ![[0044_SB-7-3-1.jpg]] <h3>Krsna and Sudama Caught in the Storm</h3> ![[0052_SB-10-4-5.jpg]] <h3>Sadbhuja</h3> ![[0057_SB-11-2-3.jpg]] <h3>Krsna Honored at the Rajasuya Sacrifice</h3> ![[0059_SB-1-2-10.jpg]] *EN SB 1 1987: Lord Kṛṣṇa was the cynosure of all eyes at the magnificent Rājasūya sacrifice held by Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira after the Battle of Kurukṣetra.* <h3>Markandeya Rsi in the Waters of Devastation Sees Baby Krsna</h3> ![[0059_SB-12-2-4.jpg]] *EN SB 12 1988: With great difficulty, Markaṇḍeya Ṛṣi moved about in the water of devastation for a long time, until he came upon a banyan tree.

When sixteen thousand princesses were kidnapped by the demon Bhaumāsura, they prayed to Kṛṣṇa for deliverance, and in response the Lord went to the demon's fortified city to do battle with him. After smashing the fortifications Kṛṣṇa encountered and defeated a fierce five-headed demon named Mura. Finally, the Lord beheaded Bhaumāsura and released the frightened princesses. But according to the strict Vedic system, if an unmarried woman leaves her home even for one night, no one will marry her. Therefore when Kṛṣṇa told the princesses, "Now you can safely return to your fathers' homes," they declined. "O Lord," they replied, "if we return to our fathers' homes, what will be our fate? No one will marry us." "Then what do you want?" Kṛṣṇa asked. "We want You to become our husband." And out of His boundless mercy, Kṛṣṇa immediately accepted them.* <h3>Krsna Sues for Peace</h3> ![[0161_UP--12.jpg]] <h3>Song Sung by Lord Siva</h3> ![[0164_SB-4_3_4.jpg]] <h3>Mucukunda Incinerates Kalayavana</h3> ![[0167_KB1-57--p336.jpg]] *"Kālayavana burnt to ashes within a moment."* <h3>Gaura-Nitai in Navadvipa</h3> ![[0175_UP--106.jpg]] <h3>Lord Caitanya in the Jharikhanda Forest</h3> ![[0179_UP--110.jpg]] <h3>Conversation Between Krsna and Uddhava</h3> ![[0179_UP--116.jpg]] <h3>0180/UP 78</h3> ![[0180_UP--78.jpg]] <h3>Engineering with Intelligence Inspired by Krsna</h3> ![[0187_UP--184.jpg]] <h3>Krsna Comes to Madhavendra Puri</h3> ![[0203_Mad-2-1.jpg]] *When Mādhavendra Purī saw the beauty of the young boy who had approached him and heard His sweet words, he forgot all hunger and thirst.* <h3>0226/TS 06</h3> ![[0226-TS-06.jpg]] <h3>Arati for Govindaji</h3> ![[Adi-2-7.jpg]] *EN CC Adi 2: In the temple of Govindajī, thousands of servitors always render service to the Lord, who is seated on a golden throne bedecked with jewels.* <h3>Krsnadasa Kaviraja Receives the Blessings of Sri Madana-mohana</h3> ![[Adi-2-8.jpg]] *EN CC Adi 2 1996: When Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja prayed to the Deity of Madana-mohana for permission to write Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, a garland from His neck slipped down, signifying assent, and the priest respectfully placed it on Kṛṣṇadāsa's neck.* <h3>Caitanya Mahaprabhu Speaks to the Temple Gatekeeper</h3> ![[Antya-5-2.jpg]] *“One day when Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu went to visit the temple of Lord Jagannātha, the gatekeeper at Siṁha-dvāra approached Him and offered respectful obeisances.

The doorkeeper replied, ‘The son of Mahārāja Nanda is here; please come along with me, and I shall show You.’ Lord Caitanya said to the doorman, ‘You are My friend. Please show Me where the Lord of My heart is.’ After the Lord said this, they both went to the place known as Jagamohana, where everyone views Lord Jagannātha. ‘just see!’ the doorkeeper said. ‘Here is the best of the Personalities of Godhead. From here You may see the Lord to the full satisfaction of Your eyes.’ Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu stayed behind the huge column called the Garuḍa stambha and looked upon Lord Jagannātha, but as He looked He saw that Lord ]agannātha had become Lord Kṛṣṇa, with His flute to His mouth.”* <h3>Lord Caitanya Sees Krsna in an Asoka Tree</h3> ![[Antya-5-8.jpg]] *Wandering in great ecstatic love in the Jagannātha-vallabha gardens, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu suddenly saw Kṛṣṇa beneath an aśoka tree, but when Lord Caitanya ran very swiftly toward Him, Kṛṣṇa smiled and disappeared.* <h3>Art 0007/Mad -2 F.C.</h3> ![[Mad--2-F.C.jpg]] <h3>Art 0035/0035/SB 3-3-3</h3> ![[0035_SB-3-3-3.jpg]] <h3>Art 0067/0067/BG -79</h3> ![[0067_BG--79.jpg]] <h3>Art 0070/0070/BG -71</h3> ![[0070_BG--71.jpg]] <h3>Art 0070/0070/BG -72</h3> ![[0070_BG--72.jpg]] *Lord Kṛṣṇa first instructed the imperishable science of <i>bhakti-yoga</i> to the sun god, Vivasvān.
