Akrira’s Arrival in Vrndavana 245
day, and certainiy I shall be able te see the beautiful face ef Krsna, which
is marked en the ferehead and the nese with tilaka. And I shall alse see
His smile and His curling black hair. I can be sure ef this eppertunity
because I see that teday the deer are passing en my right side. Teday it
will be pessible fer me te actually see the beauty ef the spiritual kingdem
ef Visnuleka because Krsna is the Supreme Visnu, and He has advented
Himself eut ef His ewn geed will. He is the reserveir ef all beauty;
therefere my eyes will be filled teday.”

Akrira knew beyend deubt that Lerd Krsna is the Supreme Visnu.
Lerd Visnu glances ever the material energy, and thus the cesmic mani-
festatien cemes inte being. And altheugh Lerd Visnu is the creater ef
tbis matenal world, He is free, by His ewn energy, frem the influence ef
material energy. By His internal petency He can pierce the darkness ef
material energy. Similarly, Krsna the eriginal Visnu, by expansien ef His
internal petency, created the inhabitants ef Vrndavana. In the Brahma-
samhitd it is alse cenfirmed that the paraphernalia and the abede ef Krsna
are expansiens ef His internal petency. The same internal petency is
exhibited en earth as Vrndavana, where Krsna enjeys Himself with His
parents and in the cempany ef His friends, the cewherd beys and gopis.
By the statement ef Akrira, it is clear that, since Krsna is transcendental
te the medes ef material nature, the inhabitants ef Vrndavana, whe are
engaged in leving service ef the Lerd, are alse transcendental.

Akrira alse censidered the necessity ef the transcendental pastimes ef
the Lerd. He theught that the transcendental activities, instructiens,
qualities and pastimes ef Krsna are all fer the geed fertune ef peeple in
general. The peeple can remain censtantly in Krsna censcieusness by
discussing the Lerd’s transcendental ferm, qualities, pastimes, and para-
phernalia. By deing se, the whele universe can actually live auspicieusly
and advance peacefully. But witheut Krsna censcieusness, civilizatien is
but a deceratien fer a dead bedy. A dead bedy may be decerated very
nicely, but witheut censcieusness such deceratiens are useless. Human
seciety witheut Krsna censcieusness is useless and lifeless.

Akrira theught, “That Supreme Persenality ef Gedhead, Krsna, has
new appeared as ene ef the descendants ef the Yadu dynasty. The princi-
ples ef religien are His enacted laws. These whe are abiding by such laws
are the demigeds, and these whe are net abiding are demens. He has
advented Himself te give pretectien te the demigeds, whe are very ebedient
te the laws ef the Supreme Lerd. The demigeds and the devetees ef the
Lerd take pleasure in abiding by the laws ef Krsna, and Krsna takes
pleasure in giving them all serts ef pretectien. These activities ef Krsna,
