Translation

That which the Vedāntists describe as unmanifest and infallible, that which is known as the supreme destination, that place from which, having attained it, one never returns – that is My supreme abode.

Minu kõrgeim elupaik on koht, mida vedantistid kirjeldavad kui mitteavaldunut ja veatut ning seda teatakse kui kõrgeimat eesmärki, milleni jõudes pole enam kunagi vaja tagasi pöörduda.

Purport

The supreme abode of the Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, is described in the Brahma-saṁhitā as cintāmaṇi-dhāma, a place where all desires are fulfilled. The supreme abode of Lord Kṛṣṇa, known as Goloka Vṛndāvana, is full of palaces made of touchstone. There are also trees, called “desire trees,” that supply any type of eatable upon demand, and there are cows, known as surabhi cows, which supply a limitless supply of milk. In this abode, the Lord is served by hundreds of thousands of goddesses of fortune (Lakṣmīs), and He is called Govinda, the primal Lord and the cause of all causes. The Lord is accustomed to blow His flute (veṇuṁ kvaṇantam). His transcendental form is the most attractive in all the worlds – His eyes are like lotus petals, and the color of His body is like the color of clouds. He is so attractive that His beauty excels that of thousands of Cupids. He wears saffron cloth, a garland around His neck and a peacock feather in His hair. In the Bhagavad-gītā Lord Kṛṣṇa gives only a small hint of His personal abode, Goloka Vṛndāvana, which is the supermost planet in the spiritual kingdom. A vivid description is given in the Brahma-saṁhitā. Vedic literatures (Kaṭha Upaniṣad 1.3.11) state that there is nothing superior to the abode of the Supreme Godhead, and that that abode is the ultimate destination (puruṣān na paraṁ kiñcit sā kāṣṭhā paramā gatiḥ). When one attains to it, he never returns to the material world. Kṛṣṇa’s supreme abode and Kṛṣṇa Himself are nondifferent, being of the same quality. On this earth, Vṛndāvana, ninety miles southeast of Delhi, is a replica of that supreme Goloka Vṛndāvana located in the spiritual sky. When Kṛṣṇa descended on this earth, He sported on that particular tract of land known as Vṛndāvana, comprising about 168 square miles in the district of Mathurā, India.

Jumala Isiksuse, Śrī Kṛṣṇa kõrgeimat elupaika kirjeldatakse „Brahma- saṁhitās" sõnadega cintāmaṇi-dhāma, mis tähendab, et tegu on paigaga, kus täidetakse kõik soovid. Jumal Kṛṣṇa kõrgeim elupaik, mida tuntakse Goloka Vṛndāvanana, on täis filosoofilisest kivist ehitatud losse. Samuti asuvad seal „soovide puud", mis jagavad kõike söödavat, mida ihaldatakse. Sealseid lehmi nimetatakse surabhideks ning nad annavad piiramatus koguses piima. Selles paigas teenivad Jumalat sajad tuhanded õnnejumalannad (Lakṣmīd) ning Teda nimetatakse algseks Jumalaks ja põhjuste põhjuseks Govindaks. Jumalal on kombeks mängida Oma flööti (veṇuṁ kvaṇantam). Tema transtsendentaalne keha on kõige kütkestavam kõikides maailmades – Tema silmad on kui lootose kroonlehed ning Tema ihu on pilvede värvi. Ta on sedavõrd kütkestav, et Tema ilu ületab ka tuhandete Amorite ilu. Ta kannab safranivärvi riiet, kaela ümber on Tal lillevanik ning juustes paabulinnusulg. „Bhagavad-gītās" annab Jumal Kṛṣṇa ainult tagasihoidliku vihje Oma elupaigast Goloka Vṛndāvanast, mis on vaimse kuningriigi kõrgeim planeet, kuid „Brahma-saṁhitās" kirjeldatakse seda üksikasjalikult. Vedakirjanduses („Kaṭha Upaniṣadis" 1.3.11) öeldakse, et Kõigekõrgema Jumala elupaigast midagi kõrgemat ei eksisteeri ning et see paik on lõplik sihtpunkt (puruṣān na paraṁ kiñcit sā kāṣṭhā paramā gatiḥ). Kui inimene jõuab Jumala elupaika, ei pea ta enam kunagi materiaalsesse maailma tagasi pöörduma. Kṛṣṇa kõrgeim elupaik ja Kṛṣṇa Ise ei erine teineteisest millegi poolest, olles omaduslikult samased. Sellel planeedil asuv Vṛndāvana, mis paikneb Delhist umbes 150 kilomeetrit kagu suunas, on selle kõrgeima, vaimses taevas asuva Goloka Vṛndāvana täpne jäljend. Kui Kṛṣṇa laskus sellele planeedile, esitas Ta Oma transtsendentaalseid mänge just selles Vṛndāvana nimelises paigas, mis hõlmab umbes 220 ruutkilomeetrit Indias, Mathurā maakonnas.
