• Those persons who were unable to see God as He is remained attached to material hankerings & were not able to go back home, back to Godhead. When the Lord passed beyond the vision of all, He did so in His original eternal form, as stated here - SB 3.2.11  + (13:14:55, 8 July 2020)

• The pastimes of the Lord (Krsna) are always current in one universe or another, and when Lord Krsna disappeared from the transcendental abode of Dvaraka, it was simply a disappearance from the eyes of the people there  + (14:31:23, 8 July 2020)
• It should not be misunderstood that His (Krsna's) transcendental body, which is just suitable for the pastimes in the mortal world, is in any way inferior to His different expansions in the Vaikunthalokas  + (14:36:08, 8 July 2020)

• His (Krsna's) pastimes are wonderful even for other incarnations of the Lord, such as Sri Rama, Nrsimha & Varaha. His opulence was so superexcellent that His pastimes were adored even by the Lord of Vaikuntha, who is not different from Lord Krsna Himself  + (15:12:27, 8 July 2020)

• The demigods thought that Lord Krsna, like themselves, was also created by Lord Brahma, but in fact Brahma was created by Lord Krsna. It was not within the power of Brahma to create the transcendental beauty of the Supreme Lord  + (16:00:02, 8 July 2020)

• How can one who is full in Himself (God) take pleasure in the association of many women? How can He take wives and, just like a householder, take pleasure in the association of family members, children, relatives and parents  + (17:21:08, 8 July 2020)

• The Brahman conception of the Absolute Truth is certainly the negation of all mundane activities, but the Parabrahman conception is full with transcendental activities  + (17:55:44, 8 July 2020)
