So in the spiritual world, that Vṛndāvana planet is the highest planet, and below that planet there are innumerable Vaikuṇṭha planets, which are called Viṣṇuloka. tāra tale paravyoma-'viṣṇuloka'-nāma nārāyaṇādi ananta svarūpera dhāma (CC Madhya 21.46) And the presiding Deity, predominating Deity in those planets, is called Nārāyaṇa. Nārāyaṇa is also expansion of Kṛṣṇa. Generally, Nārāyaṇa is accepted as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but from authentic scripture we understand that Nārāyaṇa is expansion of Kṛṣṇa. 'madhyama-āvāsa' kṛṣṇera-ṣaḍ-aiśvarya-bhāṇḍāra ananta svarūpe yāhāṅ karena vihāra (CC Madhya 21.47) Although Kṛṣṇa is two-handed and, I mean to say, busy with His flute-playing, but we do not know—many do not know—that He is . . . has expanded as Nārāyaṇa and Viṣṇu. He is the predominating Deity all over the spiritual world.

Kṛṣṇa, although He's all-powerful, He lives at Vṛndāvana in the gardenlike city. Not city; a tract of land. A small city is there now; they have named Vṛndāvana. But Vṛndāvana is not that small city. It is a tract of land about eighty-four miles.

So it is full of garden and full of nice places. Anywhere you go, you will find something wonder to see. There are many trees of fruits and flowers, many varieties of birds, and the cranes on the Yamunā side. Every . . . each and every place is remembering Kṛṣṇa. If you go there you'll find that "Kṛṣṇa is . . . somewhere He was playing. I must find out." It is such nice place. So Vṛndāvana is the most confidential part of Kṛṣṇa's abode.
