Lectures

Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

All the planets. Everywhere there are devotees. You are thinking that only in America there are devotees? (laughter).
Lecture on SB 6.3.16-17 -- Gorakhpur, February 10, 1971:

Devotee (1): The Viṣṇudūtas, they had spiritual bodies, spiritual forms. Are they traveling through all the planets or only where there are devotees?

Prabhupāda: All the planets. Everywhere there are devotees. You are thinking that only in America there are devotees? (laughter)

Devotee (1): No, I'm speaking particularly of the four-armed form described as... Particularly of those.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Viṣṇudūtas are looking exactly like Viṣṇu.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda, don't the living entities on Brahmaloka have bodies like Lord Brahmā?

Prabhupāda: Not exactly. Brahmā is four-handed.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh, they don't have...

Haṁsadūta: Prabhupāda, you said that when a person changes original spiritual form, just like the Viṣṇudūtas, they have their four-handed form. Does that mean that they will never rise up to the state of associating with Kṛṣṇa in two-handed form? What does it mean, "original form"?

Prabhupāda: Original form, two-handed.

Haṁsadūta: Two-handed.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Haṁsadūta: So that four-handed form is not complete perfection of Kṛṣṇa consciousness?

Prabhupāda: No. There is perfection everywhere in the spiritual world, but it is a question of variety, taste. When you take rasagullā, don't take kachori, that does not mean kachori is not perfect. It is a question of taste. Somebody likes kachori, somebody likes rasagullā. Not that kachori is inferior to rasagullā; rasagullā is inferior to kachori.
