314 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Adi-lila, Ch. 17

PURPORT

Here we get some information of the Vaikuntha world or spiritual world.
Vaikuntha means “without anxiety.’’ In the material world, everyone is full of
anxiety, but another world, where there is no anxiety, is described in Bhagavad-gita:

paras tasmat tu bhdvo ‘nyo
‘vyakto 'vyaktaét sanatonat

yali sa sarvesu bhittesu
nasyatsu na vinasyati

“Yet there is another nature, which is eternal and is transcendental to this mani-
fested and unmanifested matter. It is supreme and is never annihilated. When all in
this world is annihilated, that part remains as it is.”’ (Bg. 8.20)

As there are many planets within the material world, there are many millions of
planets, called Vaikunthalokas, in the spiritual world. All these Vaikunthalokas, or
superior planets, rest on the effulgence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As
stated in the Brahma-samhita (yasya prabha prabhavato jagadapda-koji), the
Brahman effulgence emanating from the body of the Supreme Lord creates innumer-
able planets in both the spiritual and material worlds; thus these planets are creations
of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The astrologer saw Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
to be the very same Personality of Godhead. We can just imagine how learned he
was, yet he was traveling door to door, just like an ordinary beggar, for the highest
benefit of human society.
