Teachings of Lord Chaitanya
specific opulence of knowledge of the Supreme Lord. Narada specifically represents the devotional service of the Supreme Lord. The devotional service of the Lord is there also in Lord Chaitanya, Who is considered to be the full representation of devotional service. In Brahma the opulence of creative power is invested. In Ananta the power of the sustenance of all the planets is invested. In the Shesha incarnation the power is in serving the Supreme Lord. And in King Prithu is the power of maintaining the living entities. Similarly, in Parsuram the power of killing the evil elements is invested. So far as  Vibhuti , or the special favor of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is concerned, there is a description in the  Bhagavad Gita , Tenth Chapter. It is said there that any living entity who appears to be especially powerful or beautiful should be known as specifically favored by the Supreme Lord.
The Lord, after finishing the description of the Saktavesh incarnation, began to speak about the age of the Supreme Lord. He said that the Supreme Lord Krishna is always like a 16-year-old boy, and when He desires to descend to this Universe, He first of all sends His father and mother, who are His devotees, and then He advents Himself as the incarnation, or comes Personally. All His activities, beginning from the killing of the Putana demon, are being displayed in innumerable Universes, and there is no limit to them. At every moment, at every second, His manifestations of different Pastimes are seen in the different  Brahmandas , or Universes. Therefore, His Pastime activities are just like the waves of the Ganges River: as there is no limit to the flowing of the waves of the Ganges, similarly, there is no cessation of the manifestations of the different features of Lord Krishna's incarnation in different Universes. He displays from childhood many Pastime functions, and ultimately He exhibits the  Rasa  Dance.
It is said that all the Pastime functions of Krishna are eternal, and that is confirmed in every Scripture. People in general cannot understand how Pastimes are being performed by Krishna, but Lord Chaitanya gave a comparable instance in the orbit of the Sun. According to Vedic astrological calculation, the twenty-four hours of a day and night are divided into 60  Dandas . The days are again divided into three thousand six hundred  Palaas . So the Sun disc can be perceived in every 60  Palaas , and the time constitutes a  Danda . Eight Dandas make one  Parahara , and the Sun rises and sets within four  Paraharas . Similarly, four  Paraharas  constitute the duration of night, and after that the Sun is again seen as risen. Similarly, all the Pastimes of Krishna can be seen in any of the  Brahmandas , just like the Sun can be seen in its movement through three thousand six hundred  Palaas .
