Teachings of Lord Chaitanya
The four Forms, Vasudeva, Samkarshan, Pradyumna and Aniruddha, are also expanded in the  Vilasa Murti . These are eight in number, and their Names are Purushottam, Achyuta, Nrishingha, Janardana, Hari, Krishna, Adhoksaja and Upendra. Out of these eight Names, two Names, Adhoksaja and Purushottam, are the  Vilasa  or Forms of Vasudeva. Similarly, Upendra and Achyuta are the Forms of Samkarshan; Nrishingha and Janardana are the Vilasa Forms of Pradyumna; and Hari and Krishna are the two Vilasa Forms of Aniruddha. This Krishna is different from the original Krishna.
These twenty-four Forms are known as the  Vilasa  manifestation of the  Pravhav  (four-handed) Form, and they are differently named according to the different position of the symbolic representations, that is, the mace, the disc, the lotus flower and the conch shell. Out of these twenty-four Forms, there is also a division of  Vilasa  and  Baibhava . Names mentioned herein, such as Pradyumna, Trivikram, Vamana, Hari and Krishna are also different in features. Then, coming to the  Prahava Vilasa  of Krishna, which is Vasudeva, Samkarshan, Pradyumna and Aniruddha; there are a total of twenty further variations. All of them have  Vaikuntha  planets in the Spiritual Sky, which are situated in eight different directions. And, although each of them is eternally in the Spiritual Sky, still, some of them manifest in the material world also.
In the Spiritual Sky all the planets dominated by the feature of Narayan are eternal. And the topmost planet in the Spiritual Sky is called Krishna Loka. That Krishna Loka is divided into three different portions: Gokula, Mathura, and Dwarka. In the Mathura portion the Form of Kesava is always situated. He is also represented on this earthly planet. In India there is a place called Mathura where  Kesava Murti  is worshipped and, similarly, there is a Purushottam Form in Jagannath Puri in Orissa. In Anandaranya there is the Form of Vishnu, and in Mayapur, the birthplace of Lord Chaitanya, there is the Form of Hari. Many other Forms are situated elsewhere on this earthly planet.
Not only in this Universe, but in all the other Universes such Forms are distributed everywhere. On this earthly planet also it is indicated that all the world is divided into seven islands, and it is understood that on each and every island there are similar Forms. But at the present moment they are found only in India. They are indicated to be in other parts of the world, but at present there is no information telling where they are situated. But from Vedic literature we can understand that there are Forms in other parts of the world.
These different Forms of Krishna are distributed all over the world and the Universes to give pleasure to the devotees. Not that the devotees are only
