Ramananda dasa (Volcano, HI)

March 27, 2015

CC Ādi 5.84 — “In the beginning of the creation, the Lord expanded Himself in the form of the puruṣa incarnation, accompanied by all the ingredients of material creation. First He created the sixteen principal energies suitable for creation. This was for the purpose of manifesting the material universes.”

CC Ādi 5.90 — “O Arjuna, you should know this as My inconceivable opulence.” This is the meaning propagated by Lord Kṛṣṇa in the Bhagavad-gītā.

CC Ādi 5.91 — That Mahā-puruṣa [Kāraṇodakaśāyī Viṣṇu] is known as a plenary part of Him who is Lord Nityānanda Balarāma, the favorite associate of Lord Caitanya.

CC Ādi 5.92 — I have thus explained the ninth verse, and now I shall explain the tenth. Please listen with rapt attention.

CC Ādi 5.93 — I offer my full obeisances unto the feet of Śrī Nityānanda Rāma, a partial part of whom is Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu. From the navel of Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu sprouts the lotus that is the birthplace of Brahmā, the engineer of the universe. The stem of that lotus is the resting place of the multitude of planets.

CC Ādi 5.94 — After creating millions of universes, the first puruṣa entered into each of them in a separate form, as Śrī Garbhodakaśāyī.

CC Ādi 5.95 — Entering the universe, He found only darkness, with no place in which to reside. Thus He began to consider.

CC Ādi 5.96 — Then He created water from the perspiration of His own body and with that water filled half the universe.

CC Ādi 5.97 — The universe measures five hundred million yojanas. Its length and breadth are one and the same.

CC Ādi 5.98 — After filling half the universe with water, He made His own residence therein and manifested the fourteen worlds in the other half.

CC Ādi 5.99 — There He manifested Vaikuṇṭha as His own abode and rested in the waters on the bed of Lord Śeṣa.

CC Ādi 5.100-101 — He lay there with Ananta as His bed. Lord Ananta is a divine serpent having thousands of heads, thousands of faces, thousands of eyes and thousands of hands and feet. He is the seed of all incarnations and is the cause of the material world.

CC Ādi 5.102 — From His navel grew a lotus flower, which became the birthplace of Lord Brahmā.

CC Ādi 5.103 — Within the stem of that lotus were the fourteen worlds. Thus the Supreme Lord, as Brahmā, created the entire creation.

CC Ādi 5.104 — And as Lord Viṣṇu He maintains the entire world. Lord Viṣṇu, being beyond all material attributes, has no touch with the material qualities.

CC Ādi 5.105 — Assuming the form of Rudra, He destroys the creation. Thus creation, maintenance and dissolution are created by His will.

CC Ādi 5.106 — He is the Supersoul, Hiraṇyagarbha, the cause of the material world. The universal form is conceived as His expansion.

CC Ādi 5.107 — That Lord Nārāyaṇa is a part of a plenary part of Lord Nityānanda Balarāma, who is the source of all incarnations.
