Talks with Sarbabhouma Battacharya 227
scendental Body, transcendental Mind, and transcendental thinking, feeling
and willing, This conclusion is the purpose of all the Vedic literature. In all
the Upanishads, the word Brahman is found everywhere. In the Srimad Bhag-
watam, Brahman, Paramatma and the Supreme Personality of Godhead are
together calculated as the Absolute Truth. Therefore the Brahman conception
and Paramatma realization also are grades or stages, and when ultimate realiza-
tion is reached, that realization is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This
is the conclusion of all Vedic literature.

So, by the evidences of the different Vedic Scriptures, the Supreme Lord
Krishna is accepted as the ultimate Goal of Brahman realization. Bhagavad
Gita confirms that there is nothing superior to Krishna. The great Acharya
of Brahma’s disciplic succession, Madhva Acharya, has described—in con-
nection with his explanation of the Vedanta Sutra—that everything can be
seen through the authorities of the Scriptures. He has quoted a verse from the
Bhobishya Purana in which it is stated that Rig Veda, Sam Veda, Atharva
Veda, Mahabharata, Pancharatracum, and the original Ramayan, are actually
evidential Vedic literature, and the Puranas which are accepted by the Vai-
shnavas are also accepted as evidential Vedic literature. Whatever is spoken in
that literaute should be taken without any argument as the ultimate conclu-
sion, and in all that literature it is found that Krishna is the Supreme Personality
of Godhead.
