The Avataras 81

Lord Krishna remains in this Universe for 125 years only, but all the Pas-
times of that period are exhibited in each and every Universe, including His
Appearance, His Boyhood Pastimes, His Youth, and His manifestation of
later Pastimes—until the last at Dwarka. All those Pastimes are present in one
or another of the myriad Brahmandas, at any given time. Therefore the
Pastimes are called eternal. In other words, as the Sun is eternally existing and
we can see it rise and set due to our different planetary position, similarly,
the Lord’s Pastimes are going on, but only at certain intervals can we see the
Pastimes of Krishna in this particular Universe. As described above, His Abode
is the Supreme Planet known as Goloka Vrindaban and, being Absolute, His
Name, Fame, everything is equal to Krishna. And, by the will of Krishna,
the same Goloka Vrindaban is manifested in this Universe and other Universes
also.

Therefore, although the Lord is always in His Supreme Abode, Goloka
Vrindaban, by His Supreme will the activities there are also manifested in the
innumerable Universes; and when He appears, He appears in those particular
places. And in every manifestation of Krishna the six opulences are displayed.
