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. Every-
thing 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 super-
intendent 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 Bhag-
watam, First Canto, Third Chapter, as follows: 1. Kumaras, 2. Narada, 3.
Varaha, 4. Matsya, 5. Yajna, 6. Naranarayan, 7. Kardemikapeel, 8. Duttatreya,
9. Hayasirsha, 10. Hansa, 11. Dhruvapriya Prishni Garva, 12. Rishava, 13.
Prithu, 14. Nrishingha, 15. Kurma, 16. Dhanvantari, 17. Mohini, 18. Vamana,
19. Bhargava, 20. Raghavendra, 21. 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, Prisnigarbha, 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.
