Knowing Krsna as He Is 55

primeval Lord, whose transcendental form is full of
bliss, truth and substantiality and is thus full of the
most dazzling splendor. Each of the limbs of that
transcendental figure possesses, in Himself, the full-
fledged functions of all the organs, and eternally
sees, maintains and manifests the infinite universes,
both spiritual and mundane.” (Bs. 5.30,32)

This form has nothing whatsoever to do with
material forms. Impersonalists say, “Oh, you say
Krsna has a form. If so, how can you say that He is
the Supreme? The impersonal Brahman is the Su-
preme, and the impersonal Brahman is formless.”
But we have information from Bhagavad-gita that
Krsna is the source of the impersonal Brahman.

“And I am the basis of the impersonal Brahman,
which is immortal and imperishable, eternal, the
constitutional position of ultimate happiness.” (Bg.
14.27)

Krsna certainly has form, but His form, as stated
before, is sac-cid-ananda-vigraha, eternal, full of
bliss, and full of knowledge. The attributes of His
transcendental body are summarized by Lord Brahma
in this way:

isvarah paramah krsnah
sac-cid-ananda-vigrahah
