Theme Analysis
The Supreme Personality of Godhead is celebrated throughout the Vedic literatures as the Almighty Father. According to Śrīla Prabhupāda, the Lord is the ultimate seed-giving father of all living entities, across all species and planets. He is the original source from whom the entire cosmic manifestation emanates, by whom it is maintained, and in whom it is ultimately merged. By His supreme will, the great, almighty Lord created the intricate material world, complete with its diverse planets and stars, while remaining completely independent and full in Himself.
The Lord is designated as almighty because His capabilities are absolutely unlimited and inconceivable to the mundane mind. He does not require the help of any subordinate to accomplish His desires. As confirmed by the Vedic mantras (aṅgāni yasya sakalendriya-vṛttimanti), He can perform any action with any part of His spiritual body; He can see with His hands or walk with His eyes. Compared to the almighty power of God, even the most powerful living entity is nothing more than a toy lion in the hands of a playing child. While the living entities are persons with limited power, the Supreme Person is infinite and almighty.
Despite interacting with the material world to facilitate creation and maintenance, the Almighty Lord is never controlled by the laws of material nature. Lord Viṣṇu possesses three primary potencies—internal, external, and marginal—and He executes His almighty will through these different energies. His transcendental position remains eternally unchanged as the form of knowledge and bliss. As Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī explains in his Bhagavat-sandarbha, the complete conception of the Absolute Truth is realized only in the Personality of Godhead precisely because He is almighty and possesses full transcendental potencies.
Recognizing this supreme power, an intelligent human being abandons all other engagements and takes absolute shelter of the Almighty Father. The terrible fear of repeated birth and death can never be vanquished by relying on mundane shelters or personal strength. However, as soon as a conditioned soul surrenders to the divine will of the Almighty, the attacks of material nature are instantly neutralized. By constantly praying to and serving the almighty Lord, a devotee becomes eligible to leave the temporary material world and return back home, back to Godhead.
- The Almighty Creator: The Supreme Lord is the Almighty Father, the seed-giving origin of all living entities and the creator of the entire cosmic manifestation.

- As soon as we surrender unto the Divine Will of the Almighty we not only become Mahatmas & saints but also the attack of unkind Nature is vanquished at once
B
- Because you are son of God - God has got full independence, almighty - therefore you have acquired the quality of your father. You have got little independence. So God does not interfere with your little independence
- Before the Almighty Lord any powerful living being is just like a toy lion in the hands of a playing child

D
H
- He (God) can see with His hands and legs. He does not need a particular bodily part to perform a particular action. Angani yasya sakalendriya-vrttimanti (SU): He can do anything He desires with any part of His body, and therefore He is called almighty
- Here (in SB 6.1.4-5) the words yathedam asrjad vibhuh clearly indicate that the Supreme, the great, almighty Personality of Godhead, created this entire material world with its different varieties of planets, stars and so forth
- His (God's) transcendental position is always unchanged. He is the eternal form of knowledge and bliss, and He executes His almighty will by His different energies
- How is this (no longer obliged to anyone) possible? By almighty God's power. A man may be condemned to death, but if a president or a king excuses him, he is saved

N
T
- The almighty Personality of Godhead has three potencies - internal, external and marginal

- The intelligent man, abandons all engagements in the name of religion and takes shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and thus receives absolute protection from the Almighty Father
- The kings or administrators are similarly chastised in all circumstances whenever they become godless and plan a godless civilization. That is the order of the Almighty
- The terrible fear of birth and death can never be forsaken by anyone who resorts to any shelter other than Myself, for I am the almighty Lord, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the original source of all creation, and also the Supreme Soul of all souls
- The varieties of living entities are mentioned in this list, and, with no exception from the topmost planet down to the lowest planet of the universe, all of them in different species of life are created by the Almighty Father, Visnu
- There is God, or the Almighty One, from whom everything emanates, by whom everything is maintained and in whom everything is merged to rest
W
- We are sons of God, part and parcels of God, and God means almighty. So we have got almighty father, and leaving His place, I have come to this material world to enjoy independently. That is criminality. And we are suffering
- When yajna-pati wants to, He can do anything without the help of any subordinate. Therefore the Supreme Lord is known as almighty
- Without the father's seed, no mother can give birth to a child. Therefore the living beings in different varieties of forms and positions within the innumerable universes are all born of the seeds of the Almighty Father, the Personality of Godhead
