Divine Play

“”Under no circumstances can the words of persons bewildered by the illusory energy of the Lord deviate the intelligence of those who are completely surrendered souls.” One who follows the Vaisnava authorities in his attempt to understand Lord Krishna’s transcendental disappearance easily appreciates that the Lord is the omnipotent Personality of Godhead and that His spiritual body is identical with His eternal spiritual potency.” (SB 11.31.13)

Krishna’s disappearance from this world is not only painful for devotees, but can also be confusing. Having heard about the extraordinary pastimes of the Lord, which defied all material limits, to learn that Krishna departed the world in such a seemingly mundane way can give rise to many doubts. The commentators of Srimad-Bhagavatam have therefore given valuable insights into the questions surrounding this unique pastime.
