MYSTERY UNLEASHED EXPLORE
BHAGAVAD GITA AS IT IS
&
SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM
The cosmic manifestation gives the conditioned souls a chance to go back home, back to Godhead, and that is its
main purpose. The Lord is so kind that in the absence of such a manifestation He feels something wanting, and thus
the creation takes place.
It is only for the living entities who want to imitate the Lord in His enjoyment, that this material world is created by
the dormant energy of the Lord. For instance, sometimes children want to imitate the mother and cook in the
kitchen, and at such a time the mother supplies them with many toys so that the children can imitate her cooking.
Similarly, when some of the living entities want to imitate the activities of the Lord, this material cosmic
manifestation is created for them by the Lord.
The temporary creation of the material manifestation is an exhibition of the material energy of the Lord, and to
manage the whole show the Supreme Lord incarnates Himself as the Karanarnavayasi Visnu just as a magistrate is
deputed by the government to manage affairs temporarily.
For human intelligence it is very difficult to conceive how the whole creation rests on Krsna's expansion of energy,
but the Lord has given a very good example in the Bhagavad Gita. It is said that the air and the atoms rest within the
huge expansion of the sky, which is like the resting reservoir of everything materially created, still the sky remains
separate and unaffected. Similarly although the Supreme Lord maintains everything created by His expansion of
energy, He always remains separate.
POSTER 2 LEFT ‐ MATERIAL UNIVERSE
The Supreme Personality of Godhead,
by His partial representation, measuring
not more than nine inches as Supersoul,
expands by His potential energy in the
shape of the Universal Form, which in-
cludes everything manifested in differ-
ent varieties of organic and inorganic
materials. (SB 2.6.13-16)
The Supreme Personality of Godhead, by His partial representation, measuring not more than nine inches
as Supersoul, expands by His potential energy in the shape of the Universal Form, which includes
everything manifested in different varieties of organic and inorganic materials. (SB 2.6.13‐16)
IMPERSONAL CONCEPT OF CREATION
The so‐called scholars and philosophers of the world may, by mental speculation, present so many utopian theories
about the impersonal creation of the universe, but an intelligent devotee of the Lord, by studying the Bhagavad‐gita,
can know that behind the creation is the hand of the Supreme Lord, just as in the generating electrical powerhouse
there is the resident engineer.
UNIVERSAL FORM
Those who want to see the Lord with their present material eyes or with the material senses are advised to meditate
on the gigantic external feature called the virat‐rupa. For instance, when a particular gentleman goes in his car,
which can be seen very easily, we identify the car with the man within the car.
When the President goes out in his particular car, we say "There is the President." For the time being we identify the
car with the President. Similarly less intelligent men who want to see God immediately without the necessary
qualification are shown first the gigantic material cosmos as the form of the Lord, although the Lord is within and
without.
INTER PLANETARY TRAVEL
The American government has many restrictions for the entrance of foreigners from less prosperous countries. The
reason is that the Americans do not wish to share their prosperity with any foreigner who has not qualified himself
as a citizen of America. Similarly, the same mentality is prevailing in every other planets where there are more
intelligent living beings residing. The higher planetary living conditions are all in the mode of goodness, and anyone
desiring to enter the higher planets like the moon, sun and Venus must qualify thoroughly by activity in complete
goodness.
Modern enterprisers (the astronauts who travel in space) may take information from Çrémad‐Bhägavatam that in
space there are fourteen divisions of planetary systems. The situation is calculated from the earthly planetary
system, which is called Bhürloka. Above Bhürloka is Bhuvarloka, and the topmost planetary system is called
Satyaloka. These are the upper seven lokas, or planetary systems. And similarly, there are seven lower planetary
systems, known as Atala, Vitala, Sutala, Talätala, Mahätala, Rasätala and Pätäla lokas. All these planetary systems are
scattered over the complete universe, which occupies an area of two billion times two billion square miles. The
modern astronauts can travel only a few thousand miles away from the earth, and therefore their attempt to travel
in the sky is something like child's play on the shore of an expansive ocean. The moon is situated in the third status
of the upper planetary system, and in the Fifth Canto of Çrémad‐Bhägavatam we shall be able to know the distant
situation of the various planets scattered over the vast material sky. There are innumerable universes beyond the
one in which we are put, and all these material universes cover only an insignificant portion of the spiritual sky,
which is described above as sanätana Brahmaloka. The Supreme Lord very kindly invites the intelligent human beings
to return home, back to Godhead, in the following verse of the Bhagavad‐gétä (8.16):
ä-brahma-bhuvanäl lokäù punar ävartino 'rjuna mäm upetya tu kaunteya punar janma na vidyate
Beginning from Satyaloka, the topmost planet of the universe, situated just below the eternal Brahmaloka, as
described above, all the planets are material. And one's situation in any of the many material planets is still subject
to the laws of material nature, namely birth, death, old age and disease. But one can get complete liberation from all
the above‐mentioned material pangs when one enters into the eternal Brahmaloka sanätana atmosphere, the
kingdom of God. Therefore liberation, as contemplated by the speculative philosophers and the mystics, is possible
only when one becomes a devotee of the Lord. Anyone who is not a devotee cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Only by attainment of a service attitude in the transcendental position can one enter into the kingdom of Godhead.
Therefore the speculative philosophers, as well as the mystics, must first of all be attracted to the devotional cult
before they can factually attain liberation.
3RD POSTER – RIGHT – MANIFESTED UNIVERSE – PROCESS OF CREATION
Creation began with Lord Krishna expanding as Maha Vishnu accompanied by all the ingredients of
material creation. From his body pores millions of Universes of various sizes and properties came out with
every exhalation.
Maha Vishnu glances over material nature, which is eternal and bu His specific functional expansion,
Sambhu(Lord Siva), injects the living entities
(souls) into material nature. The living entites are eternal and fragmental parts of Lord Krishna.
Maha Vishnu expands as Goarbodakasayi Vishnu and enters into each Universe. Garbodakasayi Vishnu
creates the Vedas and enters into the atomic particles(atoms) as Ksirodakasayi Visnu, who enters into the
heart of all living beings as Paramatma, the Super Soul.
A Golden Lotus sprouts from the navel of Garbodkasayi Vishnu, and the first living being in the Universe,
Lord Brahma appears from it.
Ksirodakasayi Vishnu from within the heart of Lord Brahma imparts Vedic knowledge, which he uses to
create everything within the Universe, the planets, plants, animals, humans, demigods and rishis.
From the Fore Head of Lord Brahma, Lord Siva appears who is an expansion of sadasiva(Lord Siva in
spiritual world). Lord Siva plays a role in the creation of living beings and its destruction and is known as
Rudra in this role
After 311,040 trillion years, Lord Siva destroys everything in the Universe and the empty shell of the
Uiverse goes back into the bodily pores of Maha Vishnu by his inhalation.
Dull matter or a Bang (Big or small) or an invisible force cannot create anything. It’s the power of the
Supreme Person, Lord Krishna that creates and maintains millions of Universes. The unlimited opulences of
Lord Krishna are completely beyond material conception.
