Text 32] Lord Krṣṇa Shows the Universal Form
117
the killer of many demons. Although mundane people like nonviolence and other such brilliant qualities, God, the Absolute Truth, being always the same, is good in any activities, even so-called immoral activities like stealing, killing and violence. Krṣṇa is always pure, and He is always the Supreme Absolute Truth. Krṣṇa may do anything supposedly abominable in material life, yet still He is attractive. Therefore His name is Krṣṇa, meaning “all-attractive.” This is the platform on which transcendental loving affairs and service are exchanged. Because of the features of Krṣṇa’s face, the mothers were so attracted that they could not chastise Him. Instead of chastising Him, they smiled and enjoyed hearing of Krṣṇa’s activities. Thus the  gopīs  remained satisfied, and Krṣṇa enjoyed their happiness. Therefore another name of Krṣṇa is Gopī-jana-vallabha because He invented such activities to please the  gopīs .
