Unlimited Forms of Godhead
71
The Spiritual World, the Vaikuntha planets and Krishna Loka, is situated in His energy of thinking. Although there is no creation of the eternal Spiritual World, still it is to be understood that they depend on the thinking energy of the Supreme Lord. This thinking energy is described in the  Brahma Samhita , Fifth Chapter, second verse. It is said there that the Supreme Abode, known as Goloka, is manifested just like a lotus flower with hundreds of petals. Everything is manifested by the Ananta or Valaram or Samkarshan Form. The material cosmic manifestation and the different Universes are manifest through the Maya, or material energy. The material Nature or material energy is not the cause of all this cosmic manifestation. It is caused by the Supreme Lord, by His different expansions through the material Nature; and without the superintendence of the Supreme Lord there is no possibility of any creation.
The Form by which the energy of the material Nature works to bring about creation is called Samkarshan. It is understood that under the superintendent energy of the Supreme Lord this cosmic manifestation is created. The example is given: iron becomes hot in contact with fire, and when it is red hot, it is just like fire.
In the  Srimad Bhagwatam , Tenth Canto, Forty-sixth Chapter, it is said that Rama and Krishna are the Origin of all living entities. These two Personalities enter into everything. A list of the incarnations occurs in the  Srimad Bhagwatam , First Canto, Third Chapter, as follows: 1. Kumaras, 2. Narada, 3. Varaha, 4. Matsya, 5. Yajna, 6. Naranarayan, 7. Kardemikapeel, 8.

Vyas, 22. Pralambari Valarama, 23. Krishna, 24. Buddha, 25. Kalki. Almost all of these twenty-five  Leela  Avatars appear in one day of Brahma, which is called a  Kalpa , and sometimes they are called Kalpa Avatars. Out of these, the incarnation of Hansa Mohini is not permanent; but Kapila, Dattatreya, Rishava, Dhanvantari and Vyas are five eternal Forms, and they are more celebrated. The incarnations of the Tortoise, the Fish, Naranarayan, Baraha, Hayagriva, Prishnigarbha, and Valadeva are considered as incarnations of  Vaibhava . Similarly, there are three incarnations of the qualitative modes of Nature. They are called Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
