Arguments of God's Existence

By Gauranga Premananda das The existence of God (Krishna) through syllogisms Syllogism is a definition or deductive reasoning in which a conclusion is derived from premises or basic statements. The Vedic logic (Nyaya) knows up to 11 steps- or members syllogisms and always include at least one example. In this article we want to establish the existence of God (Krishna) through syllogism. We begin with a definition of the word God or Krishna. Definition of "God" God means the Supreme Being and etymologically comes from the gothic or Germanic root Gheu, meaning: the One invoked or begged and the One scarified to. One prays because one expects perfections from a Perfect Being, one performs a sacrifice out of duty to a Superior or out of love for a Beloved. Krishna means the All-attractive, All-perfect, All-lovable and All-loving. So, God is Krishna or Krishna is God. The dictionary defines God as: 1 The Supreme or Ultimate Reality as 2 the Supreme Being who is perfect in power, wisdom, beauty and goodness, and who is 3 the Creator and 4 Ruler of the universe. 5 The Supreme Judge. 6 The Heavenly Father The following list of arguments proof that God exists The argument of motion and the Supreme unmoved mover or Ultimate Reality 1. Everything in the material world is in motion. The planets move, the seasons change and clouds come and go. There is growth. Our heart beats. The digestion system functions. Time even moves the atoms. 2. If something is in motion, then it must be caused to be in motion. 3. There can be no infinite chain of movers/moved. 4. As a mouse cant climb or walk upon a heap of com. 5. So there is a first, unmoved mover. He moves, but out of His own will. 6. Therefore, the Supreme or Ultimate Reality, God exists. The argument of cause and effect 1. In the material world everything has a cause. One who cannot see the cause says chance. 2. Children ask who is Gods father. No. He has no cause. There must be a ground or basis. There can be no infinite cause/effect chains. 3. As a person cant walk on quicksand. 4. So, there is a first, uncaused Cause. 5. Therefore, the Supreme or Ultimate Reality, God exists. The argument of the maintainer on another level 1. Vayu or Indra, the gods of wind and rain cant move a boat or a cloud of dust or water while resting on/in it, they must be outside of it. 2. There cannot be an endless chain of shelter or abode one after another. 3. As when a series of railway wagons are pushed, there is at the beginning a locomotive and a person conducting it. 4. The first unmoved mover, upholding and holding together the cluster of material universes and all the atoms is not situated in the material dimension. 5. Everything rests on Him

6. Hence, God exists. The argument everything in its place 1. In our body we see all kinds of substances: chemicals, mind, intelligence, consciousness, soul and supersoul. 2. There is an outside material source or realm where we get the chemicals used in our material body 3. There is a realm where we get mind and intelligence. 4. There is a realm wherefrom comes consciousness, soul and the immanent Gods, Supersouls. 5. Hence, the spiritual world and the soul and the transcendental Supersouls, Gods exists. The argument of the Soul in the Universal body 1. We are the soul in the body 2. There is a Superior soul in the cosmic body. 3. Both bodies have and produce bhumi solid matter, apo fluids, nalo fiery or shining elements, vayu gasses (Bhagavad Gita 7.4) a. bhumir: salt, hormones etc. in our bodies are comparable to sand, minerals etc. in the cosmic body; our nails and hairs with mountains and trees and plants. b. Apo: blood-veins, urine, sweat, tears, semen are comparable with rivers, oceans and rains. c. Nalo: the eyes and digestion with the sun, moon and fire. d. Vayu: breathing and other winds and gasses in our body are comparable with winds and clouds. 4. As there is a material world for matter, there is a spiritual world for spirit 5. As a fish is at home in the water and not on the land. 6. God exists. The argument of the similar 4 levels of micro- and macro-cosmos 1. The human has: a. a body, b. consciousness, c. soul, d. person (individuality) 2. The Absolute Truth has A: the material world, B: impersonal Brahman, C: localized Supersoul or God immanent D: the Supreme Personality of Godhead. 3. The soul is at home in the spiritual world. 4. God is also at home in the spiritual world. 5. Hence, the spiritual world and the Supreme Being God is proven. The argument that the Supreme Being is Person 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Our experience tells us that personal beings can control other personal beings. Impersonal things dont control personal beings or anything else. All living beings in the universe are controlled. They must be controlled by a personal being There can be no infinite regress of controllers as a mouse cant climb a hill of fine sand; there must be a base. 6. Hence the Supreme personal Being exists. -we call Him God! The argument of the Supreme Being perfect in power, wisdom & goodness 1. The soul with the Supersoul in this human body created his body and governs and maintains it. 2. The Virat-purusa, the Supersoul, created the Virat-rupa this material world, the cosmic body or form governs and maintains it.

3. The body is like a prison cell for the spirit soul. 4. The material world is like a prison. 5. A prison is a part of a kingdom. There is the far, more attractive life of the kingdom and the palace beyond the prison. 6. The soul has its home in the spiritual world (sat-cit-ananda dhama). This home is the part of the kingdom of God outside the cosmic prison house, Durga. 7. The king is the most attractive, the most powerful, the richest, the most beautiful and the wisest person (for example, in the ideal states of Rama or of Krishnas Dvaraka). 8. The original form of the Virat-purusa (who is Krishnas delegate as the creator of the prison house) is in the spiritual world known as Krishna the Supreme and most attractive of the Personality of Godhead. 9. Hence, the spiritual world exists and has the king of the kings of the kings, the Supreme Being perfect in power, wisdom, beauty and goodness.

The argument that the cause is greater than effect 1. In the chains of causes and effect the cause is or has more than the effect 2. As the sun has more light and heat than the sunrays. 3. As a lecturer on the Veda has more knowledge than given in a lecture (and ideally he will increase in knowledge) 4. So there is an Entity that has all properties or qualities to the maximum possible degree, and is increasing in properties. 5. Hence the Perfect Being exists. The argument that Properties Come in Degrees 1. Objects have properties to greater or lesser extents, properties as e.g. good, true, noble, warm 2. There exists some other object that has the property to the maximum possible degree. 3. Objects have greater or lesser of a quality if they are closer or further away from the maximum 4. e.g. the hotter something is, the closer it is to that which is maximally hot 5. The maximum in any category is the cause of everything else in that category e.g. fire must be the cause of all heat. 6. There must be a cause of the existence of goodness and all other perfections So there is an entity that has all properties to the maximum possible degree; is maximally true, good noble etc. 7. Hence the Greatest Inconceivable Being, God exists. The argument of the perfect books: The Veda 1. The knowledge in the Veda (the timeless books of Indian wisdom) is perfect. 2. The Vedas must have an infallible cause or author 3. Ordinary mortals with their finite knowledge, authority and power cannot have created the Veda. 4. The perfect author of the Veda is God. 5. Hence the Supreme Being perfect in power, wisdom and goodness, God exists. The argument of the rule of duality 1. We see everything has its opposite in some way. There is the rule of duality: heat cold light - darkness power weakness

hard soft etc. 2. The qualities of matter are that it is completely ignorant, unconscious and has no power to make any decisions and carry it out. 3. Then there must exist something which has all knowledge, is all-knowing and can make any decision and carry it out 4. Such a thing or Being is the supremely powerful, all-knowing, omniscient God. 5. God exists. The argument of the existence of the spiritual world 1. There is the rule of duality 2. We see hellish suffering, ignorance, imperfection and temporary existence 3. So there is an eternal paradise full of pleasure, wisdom and perfection. 4. The highest pleasure in the material world is egoistic lust, without God. 5. In the spiritual world the highest pleasure is selfless love, with God. 6. God exists.

The ontological argument that than which no greater can be thought 1. God is by definition the greatest possible being. 2. A being who fails to exist in the actual world (while existing in other possible worlds e.g. in our knowledge) is less perfect than a being who exists in all possible worlds. 3. Hence, the Perfect Being, God, exists, necessarily.

The negative ontological argument 1. Word denote existences 2. Also the word God 3. The word God points to e.g. the Good, the Great or Greatest, G-O-D Generator Operator Destroyer, the Effulgent, the All-Attractive 4. Hence, the Supreme Being, God exists. The argument of ontology by negative demonstration (a.o.o.1) 1. Why there is anything? 2. Nothing cannot be. There is no place to point out where there is no thing; at least there is akasha (ether or space) which is all pervading. 3. Why it is as it is? Is this the best possible world? 4. What is perfection? Not infinite homogenous substance. Perfection is sat-cit-ananda eternity, knowledge and bliss and Krsna bhakti, love with perfect persons in paradise. 5. The material world is anityam asukham lokam temporary and miserable. This material world is a prison house and the material body is a prison cell for the spirit soul. 6. Outside of prisons we always find a better world. Therefore, yes, there is perfection but this perfection is not in matter. The cosmic prison is a necessary evil. Outside the material world is the world of RadhaKrsna. 7. So, God is absolute necessity. It is impossible to conceive of not-God 8. Hence, God must exist. The argument of universal monarchy or theocracy or the argument of ontology (a.o.o.2) 1. Now is this the best possible world? 2. History has proven that the best political system is theocracy. See the Srimad Bhagavatam and the reign of Sri Ramacandra, Maharaj Yudhisthira, Maharaja Prthu. 3. The theocracy is a reflection of the structure of the Infinity; the material world is like the prison house and the spiritual world is the free world 4. The theocracy has one or more saintly rulers. Similarly, God rules the world. 5. God exists. The argument of ontology by the moral imperative and the pleasure principle (a.o.o.3)

1. How Being comes to be or how Existence comes to exist. Being or Existence means God and His spiritual kingdom and the material world as the prison (see a.o.o.2) 2. Lord Siva answered: Because everything is eternal, the question to the cause is not to be asked. As we saw in the 1st a.o.o. nothing doesnt exist. The infinite is full. There is no space for new creation. Being only can be. Nonbeing or non-existence cannot be. 3. It is a moral imperative that Being is perfect. This (see a.o.o.2) is the only way perfect Existence can be. It is impossible to conceive perfect Being in another way. In our experience, everything is done for pleasure and love (e.g. we start a family for love, we eat to get pleasure). Being is naturally eternally manifested as or evolving to pleasure or love or perfection. This is the nature of Being. Of course, in the material world everything dissolves devolutes and regresses to inertia, misery, chaos and disintegration. But that is because the material world is designated as the prison house of the spiritual world or the eternal perfect world. 4. God must be. Non God cannot be. God is. 5. God exists The argument for only one Lord 1. All the work of the Lord the oneness, harmony, artistry, coordination, variegatedness, opulences and complexity of the creation can be done by One. 2. The living body is dependent on and ruled by a single intelligent principle. 3. The same is for virat-rupa of the universe 4. I.O.W. as there is one soul there is one God. He has many expansions, His original form is in the spiritual world. 5. God exists. The argument of history 1. God is the perfect person He is the creator of everything and therefore the Richest, the Almighty, the All-knowing, the most Beautiful and perfect in everything. 2. When Krishna was here on this planet He had all these qualities; He is God. We can read about His life in the Mahabharata (the biggest book of the literature in this world) and the Srimad Bhagavatam. 3. God exists. The argument of showing the universal form 1. Krishna showed that the material universes are in Him and expanded from Him. This is described in Bhagavad Gita chapter 11 Krishna showed His universal form, and Srimad Bhagavatam canto 10.8 2. Krishna is God, God exists. The argument of the creator 1A. This material world is produced by a conscious agent: 1 B. This material world means 35 million cosmic eggs (brahmandas) or universes Our universe (one of these 35 million) has 10^22 (100 billion x 100 billion) stars, planets and moons and other flying balls. Our universe has 1.4x10^79 subatomic particles; quarks and leptons. 2. Since it is a thing which is produced; particles need a designer and maker to become forms. Like a pot or a computer is mens handiwork 3. Hence, God the Creator of the world exists The argument of the ingredients for the creation 1. In the human society prisons are made from the baser quality material in the state. 2. Similarly, the prison house of the material world is made from an eternal base quality of energy called matter expanded from the spiritual Causal Ocean or the sea of particles. This ocean is expanded from the brahmayjoti, Gods bodily effulgence. 3. Matter is like dimmed or reflected light; of an inferior type.

4. There is a creator of the prison house building it from the particles. 5. The universe has architects, masonries, a minister of justice and a king. 6. God exists.

The argument of being subjected 1. Can there be subjects without a king? 2. This world is like a gigantic kingdom. In this world every soul is subjected to manifold miseries: birth, death, old age and disease; time, karma, gunas (the three modes or ropes of nature), the three klesas (miseries due to mind, body and living entities). In this its like a prison a. We are maintained with food, water, light and heat, air. In this it is like a state or kingdom 3. Beyond the prison or the houses of the subjects or citizens is the palace of the king 4. Hence, God, the Supreme Ruler exists.

The argument of boss or Deity 1. You are controlled. You have a boss. You have a Deity. 2. For a bird a cat is a deity; for a man a demigod is a deity. 3. There can be no infinite succession of the controlled and controller and worshipped and worshipper. 4. As one cant climb a hill of fine sand. 5. Even the big bosses of the material world are subjected to disease, death, karma etc. and are dependent for their maintenance; they have a boss. 6. The hierarchies of the universe end with the Supreme Ruler of the universe. 7. Hence, there is God, the first Supreme Deity and Lord, the Ruler of the universe.

The argument of the heavenly father (and mother) 1. You have a father (and mother) 2. They have a father and mother (your grandfather and mother) 3. They also have a father and mother (your greatgrandfather and mother) 4. There can be no infinite chain of child and father/mother relationship 5. As there can be no flying or swimming unless the air or sea were to offer resistance 6. Nor do we have an example of fathers and mothers coming from donkeys, microbes or oceans of chemicals. 7. Hence, God and His Goddess, the heavenly father and mother, exist.

The argument of the Father of Mother nature and Mother Earth 1. Humans, animals and plants appeared from material nature. 2. So material nature is the mother. 3. There is a mother nature or mother earth and her children 4. There must be a father, supplying the spirit souls 5. So God, the heavenly father exists.

The argument of the Supreme judge and Karma

1. Morality, duty, piety or doing good must give happiness to be rationally justified and hold an influence over human action. 2. God must be postulated as the being that rewards piety, and punishes evil actions. 3. Therefore, God, the supreme judge exists. !0 more moral arguments Argument I: 1. It appears to human beings that moral normativity exists. 2. The best explanation of moral normativity is that it is grounded in God. 3. Therefore God exists. Argument II: 4. Moral normativity is best explained through the existence of authoritative moral rules. 5. Authoritative moral rules must be promulgated and enforced by an appropriate moral authority. 6. The only appropriate moral authority is God. 7. Thus, given that there is moral normativity, there is a God. Argument III: 8. Moral norms have authority. 9. If they have authority, there must be a reliable motive for human beings to be moral. 10. No such motive could exist, unless there was an omniscient, omnipresent, wholly just agent to attach sanctions to behavior under moral norms. 11. There is a God. Argument IV: 12. Moral facts exist. 13. Moral facts have the properties of being objective and non-natural. 14. The best explanation of there being objective and non-natural moral facts is provided by theism. 15. Therefore the existence of moral facts provides good grounds for thinking theism is true. The best explanation of there being objective and non-natural moral facts is provided by theism. Argument V: 16. Morality is a rational enterprise. 17. Morality would not be a rational enterprise if there were no moral order in the world. 18. Only the existence of God traditionally conceived could support the hypothesis that there is a moral order in the world. 19. Therefore, there is a God. Argument VI: 20. It is rationally and morally necessary to attain the perfect good (happiness arising out of complete virtue). 21. What we are obliged to attain, it must be possible for us to attain. 22. Attaining the perfect good is only possible if natural order and causality are part of an overarching moral order and causality. Argument VII: 24. Morality is a rational enterprise. 25. Morality would not be a rational enterprise unless good actions increase the amount of good in the world. (Morality has to be efficacious if it is to be rational.) 26. There is no evidence that the amount of good in the world is increasing through our good acts. 27. Therefore we must assume that there is extra-human agency on the side of the good. Argument VIII: 28. Morality is a rational enterprise.

29. Morality would not be a rational if moral skepticism were true. 30. There is much too much unresolved moral disagreement for us to suppose that moral skepticism can be avoided if human sources of moral knowledge are all that we have. Therefore we must assume that there is an extra-human, divine source of moral wisdom. . Argument IX: 32. It would be demoralizing not to believe there is a moral order to the universe. 33. Demoralization is morally undesirable. 34. There is a moral advantage in believing that there is a moral order in the universe. 35. Theism provides the best theory of the source of moral order. 36. Therefore there is a moral advantage in accepting theism. Argument X: 37. Morality demands that we ought to aspire to become as good as we can be. 38. If there is no source of moral order in the world, then the project of becoming as good as we can be is fraught with difficulties. 39. These difficulties would be taken away if we were assured of the truth of theism. 40. Therefore we have a moral reason for getting ourselves in a state whereby we can come to be believe in the truth of theism.The world is likely to be organized so as to meet our deepest human needs The argument of the king outside of the prison 1. The material world is like a prison 2. The King or head of the state lives outside of the prison 3. Similarly, God in His original form is in the spiritual world. 4. Hence, God exists. Argument by God for the deficiencies in arguments 1. Atheists hope to find arguments to fill up the gaps in their arguments. 2. "Trust no future however pleasant" is one proverb 3. "Tomorrow" they will only contrive more intermediary steps 4. but who changed the old order into new. Who changed the circumstances. Who puts the pieces together to a complete harmonious structure or order. There must be a designer and builder, a transcendental masoner. 5. Thinking, feeling, willing in the creation process means according to the dictionary: personality: a superior person created. 6. God exists. The argument of the Supreme creator. 1. With a little knowledge human beings can manufacture a 747 airplane but they cannot manufacture a mosquito or fly there never crash. God has created the mosquito's body, which is also an airplane. We have knowledge but it is not as perfect as God's. 2. God exists The argument of painting the flowers and butterflies 1. Krishna paints the butterflies and flowers with thought. How can you expect without painting it has come so beautiful. Fools say "nature". What is this nature? Everything is done by the machine and extensions of God, the supreme Artist. 2. God exists The argument of time

1. Time is the kriya sakti or cesta, pastime of God. Time is moments amounting to years, which again multiply into a lifetime of Brahma.Time is measured by things it brings about. There is the Supreme Energetic effecting these things. 2. God exists. The argument of Contigency (1) Contingent things exist. Causes bring contingent things into existence. (2) Each contingent thing has a time at which it fails to exist (contingent things are not omnipresent, matter is a limited area; material entities are temporarily sustained). (3) So, if everything were contingent, there would be a time at which nothing exists (call this an empty time). (4) That empty time would have been in the past, and will be in the future. (5) If the world were empty (or lifeless) at one time, it would be empty forever after (a conservation principle). (6) So, if everything were contingent, nothing would exist now. (7) But clearly, the world is not empty (premise 1). (8) So there exists a being who is not contingent. (9) Hence, the Absolute, Independent Cause exists. The argument of Possibility and necessity (1) Material things are temporary. (2) At some time before now there would have been no forms in existence (3) Then even now there would be nothing in existence because something that doesnt exist can begin to exist only if it is brought into existence by something already existing. (4) There cannot be infinite chain of temporary causes because matter is limited area. (5) Thus it cannot be that everythings existence is merely possible. (6) There must be necessarily an existence of a being who causes the material form. (7) So, God, the first eternal transcendental ground of temporary beings exists necessarily. The argument of reason in the universe 1. Reason exists in the universe 2. Therefore God exists Cosmological argument 1. This universe has a cause 2. Therefore God exists Teleological argument 1. See out the world/universe/giraffe. Isn't it complex? 2. Only God could have made them so. 3. Therefore, God exists. Argument from miracles 1. My aunt had cancer. 2. The doctors gave her all these horrible treatments. They didnt work. 3. My aunt prayed to God and now she doesn't have cancer. 4. Therefore, God exists. ARGUMENT FROM ROUNDNESS, aka TELEOLOGICAL ARGUMENT 1. Isn't it amazing how perfectly round the planets are? 2. Someone sure must have been in control of that "big bang" in order for them to shape up like that! 3. Just place a stick of dynamite under a huge rock. You'll see that the explosion does not produce perfectly round smaller rocks. 4. Therefore, God exists. (optional) 3a. Atheist: The planets are round because of gravity.

3b. But who made gravity?!?! 4. Therefore, God exists. Argument from the enlightened 1. E.g the spiritual master believes in God. 2. The spiritual master is infallible. 3. Therefore, God exists. Argument from otherwise there would be anarchy 1. There is order the universe, and humans have to be able to access it. 2. Otherwise, there would be anarchy everywhere. 3. Therefore, God exists. The argument that the idea of God implies the real existence of God 1 2 3 No finite or imperfect being like men could have produced the idea of an infinite or perfect being. Hence only God could have revealed it to men. Therefore, God exists. The argument of the social system 1 2 3 4 The Bhagavad-Gita describes a social system of 4 divisions priests and intellectuals, warriors and government administrators, merchants, laborers. The worlds history books (puranas) relate that empires based on that social system were peaceful and happy. This divine political system comes from God. God exists. The next set of arguments is from history The argument of the incarnation (1) 1 There was an unprecedented fish form of matsya 13 million kilometres. He was gold-shining. He appeared when the egg like universe was 2/3 under. He spoke the wisdom of the matsya-purana of 13000 verses. He pulled a boat of 360 kilometers length and 130 kilometers breadth accommodating all living entities. 2 He displayed all the characteristics of God: all wealth, all strength, all beauty, all knowledge all renunciation and all the qualities of a perfect person: loving, compassionate pleasing, wonderful linguist, pleasing, truthful, artistic, expert, grateful, pure, self-controlled, forgiving, self-satisfied, heroic, gentle, liberal, humble, happy, humorous, simple, possessing all mystic perfection, performer of wonderful varieties of pastimes. 3 This was the incarnation of God; He took to this form because it was fitting for the this circumstances and because he likes pastimes. 4 God exists The argument of in incarnation (2) 1 There appeared an usual tortoise form millions of years ago. Its back extended for 1300 miles like a large island. It activities and the wisdom he spoke are written. His back served as a rest for the hill Mandara, a pivot used to churn a heavenly milk ocean to get the nectar of immortality. 2 He had all the qualities of God, all opulances of unlimited degree such as riches, power, beaty, wisom, detachment and the character of a perfect person.

This was the supreme personality of Godhead dressed up in the way. Because he likes a wide variety of transcendental activities of amusement. God exists.

The argument of incarnation (3) 1 The Narasimha half lion half man incarnation appeared to kill a demoniac king of the universe, Hiranyakasipu His razor-sharp tongue moved like a duelling sword. His gaping mouth appeared like a mountain cave. His body touched the sky. The hairs on the his body were white and beautiful as the rays of the moon. God exists. The argument of incarnation (4) 1 The vamana-avatara, Gods incarnation as a dwarf priest. He begged 3 steps of land from the king of the universe. He expanded his body and with 2 steps he took all the planets and with 2 steps he took all the planets and stars of the universe. There is a book 10000 verses with the history and wisdom. 2 God exists The following set of arguments proof that Krishna is God. Krishna was on this earth planet 5000 years ago The argument of liberating a demigod 1. One demigod used to go on pleasure excursions in his airplane. Overly conceited due to his beauty and opulence he ridiculed some sages. They cursed him to become a snake. Krishna was seen by him and Krishna touched him with His foot; the snake had all his sinful reactions destroyed and thus he gave up his serpent body and appeared again in his demigod form. He prayed to Krishna glorifying Him as the Supreme of all the gods. Then the demigod went back to his heavenly planet to execute his tasks in the universal administration till the end of the day of Brahma, the creator god. After that he went back to the spiritual world, being a pure servant of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. 2. Krishna, God exists. The argument of greatness 1. Krishna in Dvaraka had 16.108 queens and from each he had 10 sons and one daughter: 161.080 + 16.108= 177.188. The sons and grandsons of Krishna's children numbered in the tens of millions. There were 38.800.000 teachers in Dvaraka and the the king of Dvaraka, Ugrasena (Krishna's Grandfather) had 30 trillion soldiers as personal bodyguards/attendants. Narada muni desired to see Krishna who had married 16.100 brides simultaneously each in a seperate palace. Narada saw numerous manifestations with various moods and activities of the one Krishna. He also saw numerous manifestations of the associates of Krishna such as Uddhava. Narada went at the speed of the mind in a single moment to each of the sixteen thousand hundred eight palaces and saw Krishna performing different activities at different times. The residents of Dvaraka could see Krishna only in the particular part of the city they themselves occupied, and not anywhere else, even if they would some times go to another precinct. Everyday Krishna donated 107 groups of 13.084 cows (totalling 1.400.000) with first born calves to the brahmanas. When Krishna would exist seperately from each of His many palaces, each individual form

would be visible to the persons present on those particular palace grounds and to the neighboring residents, but not to others. Coming along the main road up to the entrance of His governor building assembly hall, all the forms of Krishna would merge into a single form and He would enter His office, in the assembly of His ministers and great kings. 2. God exists. The argument of establishing law and order 1. Krishna solidly reinstated religion on its four pillars of compassion, austerity, cleanliness and truth. Thus dharma (religion) could once again become the protector of the earth. 2. This was a superhuman task, only the Supreme of all the superhumans Krishna, God could have performed. 3. God exists. The argument of the Supreme Purifier 1. Previous to Krishna's descent, Ganga-devi was the most sacred of all the sacred places of pilgrimage, being the water that had bathed Lord Visnu's lotus Feet. Krishna's glories made all places He contacted as a sacred place of pilgrimage eclipsing that of the holy Ganges. 2. Krishna is the most holy and pure of all personalities. 3. Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead 4. God exists. The argument of giving liberation 1. Krishna gave liberation to His surrendered devotees and to His enemies. Loving devotees like the Vraja-gopi's attained the opportunity to enjoy pastimes of conjugal love with Krishna's personal form in the spiritual world. Inimical devotees (like Kamsa), when killed by Krishna, attained mukti (liberation). Either merging into His spiritual bodily effulgence or living on one of the unlimited spiritual planets. Krishna's expansions and parts of the expansions don't give liberation to the enemies They killed. 2. Krishna is God, God exists. The argument of being charmed only by pure love 1. The goddess of fortune, Lord Narayana's constant companion and consort, whom great demigods such as Brahma serve menially to win her slight favor could not conquer Krishna. Even by severe austerities she could not bring Krishna under control and participate in the rasa-lila dance as the Vraja-gopi's did. 2. Krishna can be charmed only by selfless activity purely done for Him. 3. Krishna is the best of all gods, God exists The argument of the name Krishna 1. The name Krishna is superior to the name Narayana and all Krishna's other expansions. By uttering the name of Krishna just once one attains the same benefit as that gained by reciting Lord Narayanas or Visnu's, thousand names three times. Krishna's names destroys all inauspiciousness, illusion and ignorance. It crushes the excellence of all other spiritual practices described in the revealed scriptures. It captures even the liberated souls. 2. God exists. The argument of being superior to the creator of the material world 1. The Supreme Personality of Godhead had Arjuna join Him on His divine chariot. The Lord's chariot passed over the 7 islands of the middle universe, each with its ocean and its 7 principal mountains. Then it crossed the Loka-aloka boundary (seperating habited and inhabited area within the universe) and entered the vast region of total darkness. The Lord send His Sudarshana-disc before the chariot. That disc shone like thousands of suns. The Lord's disc penetrated the darkness with its blazing effulgence. It cut through the fearsome dense oblivion following the Sudarshana disc, breaking through each of the concentric shells of the universe the chariot reached the endless spiritual light of the all pervasive Brahmajyoti. As Arjun beheld this glaring effulgence, his eyes hurt and so he closed them. Krishna told Arjuna: "The divine expanse of the spiritual sky is my own eternal effulgence.

It comprises My eternal spiritual energy. The foremost yoga experts of the material world enter within it and become liberated. It is the Supreme goal of the yogi's and it manifests the varieties of the entire created cosmos. This spiritual light is my concentrated personal effulgence". Within that region are the countless spiritual planets. And in one corner is the limited material world. Krishna and Arjuna entered a body of water resplendent with huge waves being churned by a mighty wind. Within that ocean float the 35 million material universes. Within that ocean Arjuna saw also an amazing palace more radiant then anything he had ever seen before. Its pillars bedecked with brilliant gems. In that palace was the huge, awe-inspiring serpent, Ananta-Sesa. He shone brilliantly with the radiance emanating from the gems on His 1000's of hoods and reflecting from twice as many fearsome eyes. Arjuna then saw the omnipresent and omnipotent Supreme Personality of Godhead, sitting at ease on the serpent bed. He looked charming and most attractive. His profuse locks of hair were bathed on all sides in the brilliance reflected from the clusters of precious jewels decorating His crown and earrings. Serving that topmost of all the Lords of the material world were His personal attendants, His weapons in their personified forms and all His various mystic powers. Lord Visnu paid his obeisances to Lord Krishna. Having seen the domain of Lord Visnu and the extraordinary grandeur of Visnu, Arjuna was totally amazed. He concluded that whatever extraordinary power a person exhibits can only be a manifestation of Sri Krishna's mercy. "I have seen the Supreme Godhead of the material universes, the root cause of everything in the material world. Besides the material universes is the spiritual sky, this is Sri Krishna's Home, the source of the spiritual effulgence. Sri Krishna's status of Godhead is superior to Lord Maha-Visnu's. 2. Krishna is God. God exists The argument of the liberation of the demon Sankha 1. This Sankha-asura (demon) had a valuable jewel resembling a conchshell. He was a demon but also an associate of Kuvera, the treasurer of the heavenly planets and was puffed up over his material opulence and power. He appeared on a transcendental forest festival of Krishna, Balarama and Their groups of damsels of Vraja. This Sankha-asura thought that Krishna and Balarama were 2 ordinary cowherd boys enjoying the company of some beautiful mundane girls. He forcibly took away the girls. Seeing them coming after him and thinking the brothers too powerful he ran for fear of his life, leaving Krishnas friends. Krishna entrusted His friends to Balarama and Krishna alone followed Sankha-asura wherever he fled. Sankhacudas arms were like palm trees. Krishna struck Sankhacuda with millions of blows of His fist and killed him. He took the valuable jewel from the head of Sankha-asuras body, returned and presented the jewel to His elder brother Balarama. 2. God, Krishna exists The argument of the raja-suya sacrifice 1. In this traditional sacrificial ritual one must call Brahma, Siva and other demigods, and the wise renunciants residing in each of the fourteen planetary systems. When such an exalted congregation has assembled it will be incumbent upon them to arrange the agra-puja the first worship for the most worthy person present. Then everyone was directly shown that Sri Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. They elected Krishna as the most glorious of all personalities present. In this Rajasuya Siva a.o. demigods glorified Him with prayers, the kings performed ritual bathing ceremony with glistening waterpots. Krishna was crowned the emperor of all kings. 2. Krishna, God exists. The argument of a weaver attaining liberation 1.Krishna and Balarama were strolling in Mathura. A weaver came forward and out of affection for Krishna and Balarama nicely adorned Their attire with clothes and ornaments of various colours: including soft silk cloth of gold colour embedded with jewels and ornaments. Pleased with the weaver the Supreme Lord Krishna blessed him that after death he would achieve the liberation of attaining the spiritual body of a cowherd. 2. Krishna, God exists. The argument of Krishna defeating Jarasandha

1. Jarasandha was defeated 17 times. The 18th time Jarasandha came with 23 aksauhinis. As a tactic, Krishna fled, with Balarama. They climbed a very high hill of 88 miles. Jarasandha failed to find Them and decided to trap and kill them by setting fires around the mountain, going upwards. As the blaze spread more and more upwards, Krishna and Balarama jumped from the top of the mountain down to the ground, without being seen by Jarasandha. Jarasandha concluded that the two brothers were burned to ashes and that there was no need of further fighting. Thinking himself succesfull in his efforts he returned to his own kingdom. 2. Krishna, God exists The argument of the liberation of king Nrga 1. King Nrga gave many cows in charity to many priests. Unfortunately one cow given to one priest chanced to enter amongst the king's other cows. Not knowing this the king again gave it in charity to another brahmana. The former master claimed it as his own. Thus there was arguing and fighting between the 2 brahmanas. With great humility, the king offered each of them 100.000 cows in exchange for the one cow that was causing the fight between them. He prayed to them that he was their servant and that there had been some mistake. Both disagreed with the king's proposal and left the palace in anger. When the time came for the king to give up his body, the king was taken before Yamaraja, the lord or judge of the deceased. Yamaraja send him to the body of a great lizard. The lizard was once trapped in a well. Krishna extended His left hand and got the lizard out. Immediately upon being touched by Krishna's hand the soul gave up that body and appeared as a demigod, an inhabitant of the heavenly kingdom. His bodily complexion glittered like molten gold. He was decorated with fine garments and costly ornaments. His helmet dazzling as the sunshine. He prayed acknowledging Krishna as the best of the gods. Then he went back to Godhead in the spiritual world. 2. God, Krishna exists. The argument of beautifying Kubja 1.On the way to the wrestling match, in Mathura, Krishna saw a hunchbacked ugly woman carrying sandalwood pulp to Kamsa. "Better give it to Me", Krishna told her. Being captivated by Krishna's beauty, talking, smiling, glancing, dress a.o. she gave it to Krishna. Krishna was pleased and pressed her feet with His toes, captured her cheeks with His fingers gave her a jerk in order to make her straight. At once she looked like a beautiful straight girl. 2. Krishna is God, God exists. The argument of the great demigods taking the dust of Krishna's lotus Feet on their heads 1. Every evening at about five o'clock, Krishna returns from the cow pastures with His cowherd boy friends. At that time, great demigods like Brahma and Siva come down from heaven to take the dust of Krishna's feet on their heads, in order to remove the sorrow they feel in seperation from the Lord. The various demigods stand on all sides of Krishna like panegyrists, offering their music, singing and gifts of tribute. 2. Krishna is the God of all the gods. 3. Krishna, God exists. The argument of the activities of Dvivida Gorilla and Lord Balarama 1. To avenge the death of Narakasura, the apemen Dvivida ravaged the land, setting fires that burned cities, villages, mines and cowherd dwellings to destroy Sri Krishna's flourishing kingdom and the whole world. Once he tore up a number of mountains and used them to devastate all the neighbouring kingdoms. Another time he entered the ocean and with the strength of 10.000 elephants, churned up its water with his arms and thus submerged the coastal regions. He tore down trees. Arrogantly he threw men and women into caves in a mountain

valley and sealed the caves shut with boulders. He polluted the women of respectable families. Once he met Lord Balarama. Lord Balarama in anger hurled a rock at him but the cunning ape dodged the rock . Uprooting a big oak tree with one hand, he rushed toward Balarama and struck Him on the head with the tree trunk. But the Lord remained as motionless as a mountain. Lord Balarama then struck Dvivida with His club on his skull, Dvivida became brilliantly decorated by the outpour of blood. Dvivida uprooted another tree, stripped it of leaves and struck the Lord again. Now enraged even more, Lord Balarama shattered the tree into hundreds of pieces, upon which Dvivida grabbed yet another tree and furiously hit the Lord again. This tree, too, the Lord smashed into hundreds of pieces. Thus fighting the Lord, who again and again demolished the trees He was attacked with, Dvivida kept on uprooting trees from all sides untill the forest was left treeless. The angry ape then released a rain of stones upon Lord Balarama, but the wielder of the club easily pulverized them all. This most powerful of apemen now beat his fists against the Lord's body. The Lord then hammered a blow upon Dvivida's collarbone, crushing it and killed him. The ape collapsed, vomitting blood. 2. Balarama, Krishna, God exists The argument of Paundraka, the false God 1. The ruler of Karusa, foolishly thinking "I am the Supreme Lord", sent a crazy message through a messenger, to the Lord: which stated "I am God". Childish men had flattered and convinced him "You are the Supreme Lord and Master of the universe, who have now descended to the earth". The messenger also had to tell Krishna "Therefore give up Your false name and personal symbols, club and discus and come to me for shelter. If you do not, then you must give me battle". The members of the assembly laughed loudly when they heard his vain boasting. The Personality of Godhead told the messenger to relay a message to his master "You fool, I will indeed let loose, hurl, throw, abandon the weapons, personal symbols (club and discus) you boast of in this way. When you lie dead, o fool, your body covered by vultures herons and other birds of prey, you will become the shelter of dogs, who will eat your body with great pleasure". Lord Krishna then mounted His chariot and went to the battlefield. Paundraka led 5 aksauhini's. The battlefield was soon strewn with the dismembered chariots, animals and humans that had been cut to pieces by the Lord's disc weapon, club, sword and arrows. Lord Krishna then addressed Paundraka: "O fool, now I shall make you renounce my name which you have falsely assumed". Having thus derided Paundraka, Lord Krishna destroyed his chariot with His sharp arrows. The Lord then cut off his head with the sudarshana disc. With His arrows Lord Krishna similarly severed a companion king's head from his body sending it flying into the king's city like a lotus flower thrown by the wind. When he went off to the battle the king had promised his queens and citizens "today I will bring the head of the Lord of Dvaraka". By constantly meditating upon the Supreme Lord the envious Paundraka shattered all his material bonds. Indeed, by imitating Lord Krishna's appearance he ultimately became Krishna conscious and was promated to the spiritual world's planets where he achieved a form similar to Krishna but as Krishna's servant. The king's son resolved "only by killing my father's murderer can I avenge his death". Thus he began worshiping with a ritual which would invoke fire against one inimical to brahmana's. Hearing that brahmana's offer obeisances to Krishna, the king's son foolishly thought that since Krishna was greedy for respect from the brahmana's that he had no respect for the brahmana's. The fire rising up out of the altar pit, assumed the form of an extremely fearsome naked person. The fiery creature's hair was like molton gold and his eyes emitted blazing hot cinders. His face looked most frightful with its fangs and terrible arched and furrowed brows. As he licked the corners of his mouth with his tongue, the demon shook his flaming trident. On legs as palm trees, the monster raced towards Dvaraka in the company of ghostly spirits, shaking the ground and burning in all directions. To defeat the demon Krishna dispatched His disc weapon. Sri Krishna playing the part of a king was enjoying as kings enjoy and didn't want to be disturbed by such an insignificant matter as the attack of a fiery demon. So Krishna simply ordered His disc weapon, who was waiting at His side, to take the necessary steps. That Sudarshana, the disc weapon of the Lord, blazed forth like millions of suns. Its effulgence blazed and Its heat pained the fiery demon. Frustrated by the power of Lord Krishna's weapon, the fiery creature, proceeded and created by black magic, retreated and burnt the king's son and his priests to death. Lord Vishnu's disc also entered the city in pursuit of the fiery demon and proceeded to burn the city to the ground. After burning down the city Lord Krishna's sudarshana cakra returned to the side of Sri Krishna, the Lord, whose actions are effortless.

2. Krishna, God exists The argument of Balarama subduing Yamuna river 1. Intoxicated with joy, Lord Balarama sported. The Lord then summoned the Yamuna river, so that He could play in her waters, but she disregarded His command, thinking He was drunk. She was thinking, "if Balarama calls me, wanting to enjoy in my water, then let Him come to me". This angered Balarama and He began dragging the river with the tip of His plow. Lord Balarama said, "O sinful one, disrespecting Me, you do not come when I call you but rather move only by your own whim. Therefore with the tip of My plow I will divide you into a hundred streams while bringing you here". Thus scolded by the Lord, the frightened rivergoddess Yamuna came and fell at the feet of Sri Balarama, trembling. Thereupon Lord Balarama released the Yamuna, entered the water and played in the water to His full satisfaction. When He came out goddess Laksmi, sent by Varuna presented Him with blue garments, precious ornaments and a brilliant necklace. Even today one can see how the Yamuna flows through the many channels created when it was dragged by the unlimitedly powerful Lord Balarama. 2. Balarama or Krishna or God exists. The argument of the liberation of the demoniac son of the earth (Bhaumasura) 1. Bhauma had stolen Indra's umbrella, the earrings belonging to Indra's mother and the demigods playground at the peak of the jewel Mandara mountain. Indra went to Lord Krishna and informed Him of these misdeeds. Krishna went to Bhaumas capital. With His club the Lord broke through the rockwalls and ramparts. With His arrows the weapons of the town were destroyed, with His disc the fire, water and wind walls. With his sword the hard wire obstructions were cut away and with the sound of His conchshell Krishna shattered the magic seals of the fortress. This also woke up the 5 headed demon Mura who slept at the bottom of the city's moat. The demon shone with the blinding terrible effulgence of 7 suns and was roaring from all his 5 mouths. This sound filled the earth and sky until it reverberated against the very shell of the universe. Mura whirled his trident and hurled it. At Krishna with 2 arrows Lord Krishna struck the flying trident and broke it into 3 pieces. Mura then threw a club at Krishna. As Mura's club sped towards Him, Krishna intercepted it with His own and broke it into 1000's of pieces. Mura then rushed at the unconquerable Lord, who easily sliced off his heads with His disc weapon. Ordered by Bhaumasura, Mura's seven sons came out of the fortress. The invincible Lord cut all their arrows, swords, clubs, spears, lances and tridents into tiny pieces with His arrows. The Lord severed the heads, thighs, arms, legs and armor of these fierce warriors and gave them liberation. Then Bhauma went out of the citadel with his army, Krishna decimated the enemy troops with His arrows and struck down all the missiles and weapons the enemy soldiers had thrown destroying each and every one of them with 3 colorfully feathered arrows. No person in this world was capable of knowing such swiftness in using weapons. Meanwhile Garuda, Krishna's eagle carrier struck the enemy's elephants with his wings, beaks and talons. The elephants fled back into the city. Bhaumasura threw his spear at Garuda. The spear had previously defeated Indra's thunderbolt but to Garuda it felt like a bunch of flowers. Bhauma took up his trident to kill Lord Krishna but even before he could release it, the Lord cut off his head with His razor-sharp cakra. Then Krishna entered Bhauma's palace. While conquering all over the world Bhaumasura had also captured 16.100 princesses, queens, unmarried daughters of demigods, sages and demons as well. These women became enchanted when they saw that most excellent of all persons, Sri krishna enter. In their minds they accepted Him (who had been brought there by destiny) as their husband. Krishna sent them in palanquins to Dvaraka together with great valuable treasures. Back in Dvaraka Krishna, assuming a seperate form for each bride duly married all the 16.100 princesses simultaneously each in her own palace. Krishna's entire company of relatives (his mother Devaki a.o.) also appeared in each and every house simultaneously. 2. Krishna, God exists The argument of Krishna conquering the Parijata flower from the demigods in heaven. 1. Once Narada muni brought one Parijata (wish fulfilling) flower for Krishna's queen Rukmini. Krishna's queen Satyabhama was slightly annoyed. Krishna promised Satyabhama, "I will give you a whole tree of these flowers". The Lord then went to the abode of Indra, the demigod's king. There Indra and his wife worshiped Krishna and

His beloved consort Satyabhama. Then at the behest of Satyabhama, the Lord uprooted the heavenly Parijata tree and put it on the back of Garuda. The demigods objected but Krishna easily defeated Indra and all the other demigods. Krishna brought the Parijata to His capital and planted the tree in Satyabhama's private garden. Bees followed the tree all the way from heaven, greedy for its fragrance and sweet sap. 2. Krishna defeated all the demigods because He is the Supreme of all the gods. 3. God exists. The argument of Krishna fighting Banasura 1. Krishna's grandson, Aniruddha had been imprisoned by Banasura. Krishna and His army came to set him free. Lord Siva became the commander in chief ot the army of his devotee (Banasura). Krishna counteracted all of Sivas weapons: Siva's hurricane weapon with a mountain weapon: the hurricane came to a standstill. Siva's fire weapon was nullified by water: by torrents of rain. Then when Siva was exasparated Krishna released His yawning weapon. Siva felt fatigued, yawned and being too tired stopped to fight. Now Banasura attacked Krishna. With his 1000 heads he simultaneously worked 500 bows. Immediately, without any difficulty, Krishna cut each of Banasura's bows into 2 pieces with His arrows. And to check Banasura from going further Krishna killed his horses and shot his chariot to pieces. Banasura returned to his city to recover. Lord Siva took to his last resort: Sivajvara, which destroys by excessive temperature, 12 times hotter then the sun's heat. This weapon made blazing fire appear in all directions burning everything into ashes. Krishna released Narayanajvara, represented by excessive cold. Gradually Sivajvaras temperature diminished. In the meantime Banasura recovered from the setback. Krishna took His sharp-edged Sudarshana disc which began to cut off the demon's 1000 arms (except four) one after another just as a gardener trims the twigs of a tree with sharp cutters. When Lord Siva saw that His devotee Banasura coud not be saved, he came to his senses and personally came before Lord Krishna to pacify Him by praying and glorifying Him as the Supreme. 2. Krishna is the ultimate God, the highest of all Gods. 3.God exists. The argument of the defeat of the Kurus and dragging the capital city Hastinapura into the Ganges. 1. Krishna's son, Samba abducted Laksmana, the daughter of Duryodhana. The family and relatives of Duryodhana decided that "since Samba has touched this maiden already, he must be the husband, for it would be improper to marry her to anyone else. To show our bravery and his impropriety however, we should capture him but not kill him". So they did. Balarama didn't want a quarrel between the two families. Thus accompanied by brahmanas and family elders He went to the capital of Duryodhana's family on His chariot and spoke "We tolerate that you unjustly defeated Samba but you should immediately bring him forward and give him back". He didn't complete this statement however because the other family became furious, "You lowly people want to rise above this royal family" they spoke and many more puffed up harsh words. And then turned and went back to their city. The infallible Lord Balarama became filled with rage: "Because they are puffed up due to their wealth and other assets only physical punishment will pacify their pride. They are so dull-headed, fond of quarrel and mischevious by nature that they have repeatedly disrespected Me, although I am their wellwisher. Krishna who took the Parijata wish fulfilling tree from the demigods is not fit to sit on the royal throne? The goddess of fortune herself, ruler of the entire universe, worships His feet. And the master of the goddess of fortune doesn't deserve the paraphernalia of a mortal king? The dust of Krishna's lotus feet, which is the source of holiness for all places of pilgrimage is worshiped by all the great demigods. Great demigods like Brahma and Siva and the goddess of fortune and I are simply parts of His spiritual identity. Brahma is your creator. Laksmi possesses more opulence then all the worlds put together. Thus He took His plow weapon which He increased in size and angrily dug up their entire capital city with the tip of His plow and began to drag it, intending to cast the entire city into the Ganges. When it was about to fall into the Ganges all the families, placing Samba and Laksmana in front approached the Lord for shelter joining their palms in supplication and praying. Glorifying and acknowledging Him as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. 2. God exists. The argument of Krishna and Balarama fighting Jarasandha 1. Jarasandha, the king of Magadha wanted to take revenge after Krishna killed Kamsa. He besieged Mathura with a huge army. He had the power of 10.000 maddened elephants. Krishna and Balarama came out of Mathura with a smaller army. Krishna took up His Saranga bow. The incessant flow of arrows shot by Krishna appeared as a

whirlwind of blazing fire killing all the elephants, horses, infantry soldiers, chariots and drivers. The blood began to flow just like the waves of a river. Lord Balarama began to fight with His club in such a heroic way that the river of blood created by Krishna overflooded. All the soldiers of Jarasandha were killed and he was the only one left alive. Persons of ordinary mind cannot estimate how this could be possible, but when such activities are accepted as pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead under whose will everything is possible then this can be understood. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is creating, maintaining and dissolving the cosmic manifestation by His will only, so for Him to create such a vast scene of devastation while fighting with an enemy is not so wonderful. Jarasandha besieged the city of Mathura 17 times in the same way, equiped with the same number of military phalanxes. Each time he was defeated and all his soldiers were killed by Krishna. Krishna thought, "I will destroy Jarasandha's army which is a burden to the earth. Jarasandha however should not be killed because he will enthusiatically bring another army of demons for Me to annihilate". An aksauhini contains 21870 chariots, an equal number of elephants, 65160 horses and 109350 soldiers, and the 1st time Jarasandha came with 23 aksauhini's. In what manner did Krishna shoot arrows? Although the flowing of arrows was in is a sequential order, all the actions involved in shooting seemed simultaneous to the onlookers. It appeared that Krishna was doing millions of actions at once. Thus the bow releasing arrows against the enemy troops appeared like a fire brand, ( a blazing piece of wood appears like a circle of fire when whirled around). At the 18th attack Jarasandha was assisted by a king, Kalayavan with 30 million soldiers. Krishna won 2. God exists. The argument of greatness and the demigods presents 1. Because many demons attacked Mathura Krishna therefore decided to construct a formidable fort in the midst of the sea in the bay of Dvaraka. This was planned and constructed by Visvakarma the engineer among the demigods. He first of all constructed a very strong wall covering 96 square miles. If huge planets can be floated in weightlessness in outer space by the arrangement of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the architectural construction of a fort within the sea was not a very wonderful act. This city had regular planned roads and gardens filled with desire trees. The city was also filled with many palaces and big gates. Almost all the palaces were sky scrapers. In every house there were big pots of gold, and silver. And grains were stocked in underground rooms. There were many golden waterpots within the rooms. The rooms were all bedecked with jewels and the floors were mosiac pavements of all kinds of jewels. The Visnu deity was installed in each house. All the 33 million demigods came and presented their respective gifts. The demigod Varuna presented a horse which could run at the speed of mind. Indra presented the Parijata plant (wish fulfilling) and the Sudharma assembly hall for meetings of the leaders. Each demigod is entrusted with a particular department of universal mangement. All the demigods took the opportunity of the Supreme Personality of Godhead's constructing a city to present their respective gift making Dvaraka unique within the universe. None of the demigods is independent of Krishna. Krishna is the Supreme master and all others are servants. All the servants served Krishna when He was personally present within the universe. When the city was constructed, Krishna transferred all the inhabitants of Mathura in the middle of the night as the citizens of Mathura slept, Krishna suddenly removed them from that city and placed them in Dvaraka. When they awoke they were all amazed to find themselves sitting in palaces made of gold. 2. God exists The argument of the Supreme musician 1. When Krishna, Balarama and the cowherd boys call the cows by fluteplaying by name "Oh Kalindi, Ganges, Sarasvati! Then rivers such as the Kalindi (Yamuna), Ganges, Sarasvati attain consciousness, thinking "oh, what good fortune we have! Krishna is calling us in order to bathe and dive in our waters. Let us break our banks with strong currents and flow towards Him". Stunned in ecstasy, their arms tremble out of love and they eagerly wait for the wind to bring them the dust of Krishna's lotus feet, which was carried to them by a favorable breeze. The creepers of the forest weep abundant tears in the form of streams of honey and bow low with their branches and vines. Their filaments stand erect out of ecstatic love. The clouds sprinkled fine particles of ice, which were just like tiny flowers. The cloud made an umbrella from its own shadow to relieve Krishna from the scorching heat of the sun. Hearing Krishna's flutesong the demigods bow down their necks and minds. They are incapable of comprehending the real identity of the musical scales, they become completely bewildered by the sweet sound flute song. Attracted by the sound of Krishna's flute, the demigods come from their abodes and remain all day in the sky watching Krishna in great bliss. When Krishna returns to Vraja in the evening, the demigods also return to

their celestial abodes, but not before descending to earth to worship the lotus feet of Krishna in order to obtain His mercy. Krishna's flutes has 8 tunes or melodies. The following are the effects 1st tune: the demigods feel enchanted with ecstatic rapture 2nd melody: the Yamuna flows upwards 3rd melody: the Moon becomes standstill 4th melody: Vraja's divine cows ran to Krishna and then stand motionless hearing it with joyful tears in their eyes. 5th melody: makes the gopis shudder with delight and makes them run to Him for rasa-lila 6th melody: autumn fully sets in: trees are enriched with foliage, blossoms and fruits, Mountains get melted. 7th note: all the 6 seasons fully blossom with their splendor at one time and wind softly blows with the perfumes of blossoms of flowers 8th note: takes the name of Radharani and makes Her see Krishna everywhere. The cows, bulls, forest animals become stunned and cannot swallow the grass they chew. The sound of the flute steals their minds and stops the functioning of their senses so that they appear as if asleep. The chewed grass remains in their mouths without falling to the ground. As their emotions become even stronger they become completely immobilized and their breathing almost stops. They look like painted pictures or statues. Krishna's both hands were placed on the shoulders of the gopis yet at the same time He was playing His flute. The Moon along with the luminaries felt amazed and became standstill. 2. God exists The argument of liberating residents of hell 1. Krishna went to hell to get the son of Sandipani muni, his teacher. Krishna blew His conchshell at the entrance gate by the sight of Krishna the missiles and machines of torture became blunted and crushed. The Asipatra was shorn of its sword-like leaves; all the naraka's ceased to be boiling hot, ice cold and painful in so many ways. All the men consigned to hell became liberated as their sins perished at the sight of the destroyer of darkness. And they attained the immutable position. They got into 1000's vimana's (airplane). They got liberated due to the conchshell sound and recollecting Acyuta, the infallible God. The Lord of the death, Yama became very angry, being stopped in his service of the universe: "go and withold Him, seize Him and bring Him here". But Yamaraja's servants were defeated. Yama himself came....Citragupta, Yamaraja's scribe got 8 arrows in his face...Balarama caught Yama's danda (rod of punishment and staff of kingly power) and was about to hurl it back when Brahma hurriedly came in between. Brahma pacified Him with prayers "no one is equal to You, the creator, protector, supporter of the universe. You carry Visnu who carries me. Brahma prayed to Krishna and asked "take pity on Yamaraja, he didn't know You came. 2. Krishna is the Supreme of all the gods. Godhead exists. The argument of the supreme dancer 1. The Rasa-lila is prize jewel within the treasury of all His pastimes. Krishna wanted to enjoy witness the gopi's voices, beauty, fragrance, tenderness, cleverness, dancing, music and wanted the gopi's to experience His. The Rasa-lila was for Krishnas and the gopis satisfaction, but both parties wanted to please the other. Such was the degree of Krishna's prema. He is atma-rama but He was thinking of enjoying with them this exchange of services. When Krishna desired to have this festival, the moon, to serve, rose and was the stimulator and illuminat or the pleasure pastimes Krishna danced with 3 billion gopis. How was this possible in the limited forest area on the bank of the Yamuna. It is definitely possible because the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His energies are both unlimitedly powerful. Even a piece of land as small as a sesame seed can expand into a vast area full of unlimited private pleasure groves, replete with fragrant flower beds, betel nuts, sandalwood paste, perfumes, cool drinkingwater, flower garlands etc. to enact such a dance festival. When the pastimes were finished, the Lord's spiritual energy again withdrew everything. 2. God, Krishna exists The argument of the rasa-lila

1. Sri Krishna manifested and expanded 3 billion forms (of Himself which were all like Himself) to dance with 3 billion cowherdgirl dancers. How many instruments are sweetly playing. How many tunes, rhythms, songs and dances are made. How many gestures Their limbs make, causing Their bangles and anklebells to jingle. How wonderful is the dancing of Radha and Krishna. The parrots (suka-sari) dance, sitting on the branches of the trees. The pigeons and their wives are dancing and singing. Brahma dances with Savitri while Goosepimples stand on their limbs. Siva is dancing on His bull together with His spouse Parvati. The earth dances with Kurma (Her pirot) under Her saying bravo, bravo. Govardhana Hill dances in ecstasy. Yamuna makes her waves dance along and the huge Makara-fishes also dance. The animals, trees, vines, the whole world dances along. 2. Such singing and music, and dancing was unprecedented. 3. Krishna is God. The argument of Sri Sri Radha Krishna's divine body 1. Srimati Radharani and Sri Krishnas bodies defeat the luster of jeweled mirrors and reflect the multicolored fresh buds, flowers and leaves of the forest of Vrndavana. A joyful whirlwind puts up an umbrella with a net of flower pollen, from which nectarean honey drops ooze. The soft breeze becomes like a weaver, making a multicolored canopy of flower-pollen here and there as your shelter from the sun, and the bees help him (the wind) holding the cloth. Krishna's splendid lips eclipse the glory of the blossoming bandhujiva flower. How can Krishna's teeth be described? The splendid red pomegranate seeds are certainly not their equal. How deep is the ocean of sweetness of Radharanis lotus face. Krishna and Radharani dwarf the beautiful pastimes of the God of gods, Narayan and the goddess of fortune. Krishna is the abode of smiles, smiles revealing the glistening pearl of His teeth, whose splendor illuminates the circle of the directions. Krishna's fingertips are splendid with nails delightful like Kamadeva's arrows. Krishna is an ocean filled with the jewels of sweet songs. The splendor of Krishnas face shames the splendor of lotus and the spotless full moon. It could not even glance at Indra and Saci. It found Brahma and Gayatri devoid of excellence and annihilated the splendor of Siva and Parvati. The house of Madana, Cupid, the god of love bows its head in inferiority to Krishnas home. The white conch, kunda flower, camphor and the silver-white mountain bow down to Balaramas beautiful bright complexion. Krishnas teeth sparkle like pearls. With the splendor of His beauty Krishna makes Kamadeva, Rati, Siva, Gauri and lila burn with envy. Krishnas appearance mocks the splendor of a dark cloud and glistening lightning. Krishnas splendid dark limbs condemn the glory of black anjana. Krishnas virtues and talents embarrass Siva and His beauty makes Lord Narayana revile the beauty of His own transcendental form. Krishnas handsome and gentle smiles and laughter are like splendid and pure moonlight. By glimpsing even a fraction of a drop of the ocean of Krishnas transcendental handsomeness what person will not become enchanted and filled with desire. Krishna is an ocean of the nectar of intense transcendental love. People who see His face, spit at the moon. Krishnas fingernails are like moving circles of light. With Lord Krishnas blessing all the plants became transformed into beautiful girls and joined the gopis in enjoying pastime with Lord Krishna, the master of Vrindavana. Bathing in the penumbra (effulgence) cast by only a minute fraction of the luster of Krishna's body, all beings in Vrindavana have attained their own elegance. The land, caves, forest bowers, golden houses mountain in Vrindavana have been modeled after His form. All the lakes have attained the form of His deep navel. The black snakes of Vrindavan are manifestations of the fine black bodily hairs that grow above His navel. The bejeweled desire trees are extensions of His munificence. The fine hairs of His body, standing on end, are the benevolent preceptors for all kadamba flowers.

All animate and inanimate creatures in Vrindavan are simply reflections of the beauty of Sri Krishnas form and different bodily limbs. His garments eclipse the land of gold. He can be compared only to Himself. The splendor of His toenails defeats the beauty of the moon and the lotus. His nose is decorated with great pearls. His cheeks are splendid with jewel earrings. He is glorious with jewel necklaces. His handsome arms decorated with jewel bracelets, armlets and rings are flooded with waves of splendor. He is decorated with hosts of flowers. He is more glorious than dark monsoon clouds. He is flooded with the splendor of cintamani jewel anklets, fulfilling all desires. His eyes are always filled with festivals of happiness. He pleases His associated with many wonderful joking words. His lotus hands are attractive, like the morning sun. Krishnas fingernails are like a line of full moons. Krishnas teeth reduce the diamonds gems pearls pride in their own glory. Krishnas eyes are like moving moonstone globes studded with 2 moving eyebrows. Krishnas two cheeks are like two mirrors. Krishnas handsomeness rebukes sapphires. Krishnas charming delicateness suppresses the fame of blossoming flowers. Krishna is worshiped by all glorious youthfulness. By the spotless nature of Krishnas glories the oceans took on the nature of the milk ocean, night took the qualities of the moonlight and the dark parts of the earth became svetadvipa. His brilliance conquered all. Having defeated the sun and moon it went searching in all directions. Krishnas youthful beauty eclipses the luster of lightning. His beautiful face eclipses the splendor of the moon. His bodily luster chastises the beauty of the dark monsoon clouds. His beautiful yellow garments make the beauty of lightning appear insignificant. His eyes chastise the glory of the rainbow. His splendid feet rebuke the lotus flower for their great pride. His teeth chastise the jasmine flower for being too proud of their beauty. His pleasing and charmingly sweet neck blunts the power of the conchshells auspicious beauty. His sidelong glance is the superlative of playfulness. His heart is the dancing arena of the most intense transcendental bliss. He is like a nectarian ocean of mercy. His beautiful hair inspire awe in the most splendid swarm of restless bussing bees. He brings intense eternal bliss to the devotees heart. His smile is filled with the nectar of ever-fresh loving sentiments. His bodily luster robs the monsoon clouds of their splendor. His charming beauty removes Cupids pride whose swaying ornaments appear to dance. He is the supreme master of jubilant dancing. He burns to ashes the sufferings of the devotees. His words are like a blazing forest-fire of puns and jokes. His form is eternally youthful. His beautiful transcendental form is glorified by the community of blue lotus flowers. His eyebrows eclipse the beauty of two creepers moving in the breeze. His bodily luster is more splendid is more splendid than a blazing fire. His lotus nails remove the pride of the splendid full moon. His two arms more than trample the pride of exquisite, perfectly shaped sapphire bolts. His chest totally destroys the vanity of an emerald door. His two thighs goad the pride of emerald banana trees. Hundred thousand billion full moons of the sarad season remain embarrassed in the face of the exquisite sweetness of His beautiful face. The softness of His two feet cause all praise of succulent new leaves to fall to pieces. The construction of His delicious bodily limbs bestow modesty and well-being to all symmetrical beauty, most pleasing to the eyes.

His body steals away the luster of a new blue lotus flower, just ready to blossom, lending its radiance to sapphires. His feet are continually emanating the sweetest fragrance. They are infinitely boundlessly beautiful and incomparably soft. They put to shame by their dawn like pinkish color, the combined elegance of the total aggregate of all red lotus flowers. His tender and delicate body is so attractive as though fashioned from a bouquet of blue lotuses, perfumed with fresh musk, the luster of which is like cream. The flowers of the forest, all in full bloom, are the personified form of His laughter. The sweetly scented buds of the jasmine flower, surrounded by black bumblebees infatuated by their fragrance are blinded by the radiance of His teeth. The fortunate bud flowers have attained some of the exquisite beauty and grace of His brilliant forehead. The tail feathers of the playful peacock are the faint image of His hair. The splendor of Cupids bowstrings bow has lost heart after seeing the ornaments decorating His ears. The resplendence of His chest has lent its eminence to gold. His excellent thighs, able to excite Cupid himself, are mirrored in the trunks of banana trees, shining with liquid beauty. The land-lilies have attained their appearance through association with His lotus feet. Flocks of swans, gracefully moving through the water with dexterous ease, see His gait as their guru. The sweet songs of the young cuckoos in the spring are the echo of His enchanting words. The wag-tails, flitting and dancing from one lotus flower to the next, have learned their movement from the corners of His eyes dance within the lake of His gracious lotus face. The waters of Yamuna are tears of joy produced from loving ecstasies, flowing from His eyes and mixing with the collyrium (kajjol) that decorates them. Mother Ganga is the outward manifestation of His pure and peaceful heart. The lakes adorning this lovely land of Vrindavan are the condensed form of His perspiration. The multitude of gleaming gunja berries have received their splendor form the luster of His body. Saffron and lotus flowers have attained their fragrance through association with His body. The radiance of His body humbles the pride of Mount Meru crowned with lightning bolts who worship His bodily brilliance as the source of their own splendor. Bestow modesty and well-being to all symmetrical beauty, most pleasing to the eyes. His body steals away the luster of a new blue lotus flower, just ready to blossom, lending its radiance to sapphires. His feet are continually emanating the sweetest fragrance. They are infinitely boundlessly beautiful and incomparably soft. They put to shame by their dawn like pinkish color, the combined elegance of the total aggregate of all red lotus flowers. His tender and delicate body is so attractive as though fashioned from a bouquet of blue lotuses, perfumed with fresh musk, the luster of which is like cream. The flowers of the forest, all in full bloom, are the personified form of His laughter. The sweetly scented buds of the jasmine flower, surrounded by black bumblebees infatuated by their fragrance are blinded by the radiance of His teeth. The fortunate bud flowers have attained some of the exquisite beauty and grace of His brilliant forehead. Even a small fraction of the splendor of Krishnas face makes Lord Brahmas creation of the radiant moon in the sky completely futile. The curling locks of hair of Srimati Radharani make the tilaka decorations drawn in musk useless and redundant. Her eyes are so beautiful that they make the two lotus flowers on Her ears wilt by comparison. The waves of the beauty of Her splendid smile crushed Krishnas necklace into dust. When Krishnas foot hits a flower, the flower blooms untimely. Upon seeing Krishnas beauty, even cows, birds, animals and trees in the forest are stunned in jubilation. Sri Radha is so beautiful that She eclipses the beauty of the young restless girls of the Heavenly planets, making them seem like corpses. Vrndavanas lotus flowers are the mere reflections or shadows of Radhas face. Wherever Krishna placed His lotus feet, the enthusiastic soil of Vrndavana manifested one of Her own hearts lotuses. When the cuckoo birds hear Srimati Radharanis voice they flee into the forest out of shame. The vines become stunned seeing the beauty of her throat, the conchshells flee into the ocean. Radhas jewel-like teeth emanate bright white rays pervading the whole multicolored universe by an undifferentiated white effulgence.

Radha and Krishnas beautiful forms make even cupid cry of despair and make the Moon-beams hide in shame. How wonderful is Krishnas form. What a wonderful cloud this is! In the cloud in the sky the restless lightning strike shines beautifully but on the body of this cloud there is a beautiful steady lightning (Krishnas yellow garments) 2. God exists. The argument of the greatest godess 1. When She sees Radhas beauty Laksmi, the wife of Visnu or Narayana, criticizes her own beautiful form. When she consider Radhas cleverness and virtues, Parvati, the wife of Siva becomes ashamed. 2. The God of the Goddess Radha is Krishna 3. Krishna is God, God exists

The argument of Krishna's birth 1. Krishna entered the heart of his father Vasudeva, from there He went to the heart of Devaki. Then He went to the area of the womb, in His original eternal youthful form. There was no need of umbilical cords etc. After some time He made His original humanlike spiritual form visible outside His parents. 2. God exists. The argument of killing Putana 1. Putana was a gigantic demoness 12 miles in height. Her teeth were as large as ploughshares; her nostrils were deep as mountain caves. Her scattered hair was the color of copper. She took the form of a lovely human nurse, but she had put deadly poison on her breasts. Krishna was few months old; still He sucked the poison, the milk and her life air, and gave her liberation as one of His mothers or nurses in the spiritual world. 2. Krishna is God. God exists The argument of the deliverance of the Yamala-Arjuna trees 1. Krishna was a crawling baby when once His mother bound Him with a strong rope to a wooden mortar. Krishna kept on crawling and by the mortar two mighty deep-rooted yamala-arjuna trees were uprooted and fell down. These two trees were as strong as Arjuna; not even 1000 hands could uproot them. Krishna had also given supernatural strength to the rope and mortar. Two brilliantly shining demigods, the souls of the trees, came out. They were freed from a curse, by Krishna's mercy and touch. They were cursed by Narada muni to become trees for 100 years but then would see Krishna. It was a boon in the disguise of a curse. Then they glorified Krishna as the one ultimate God above all the demigods. Demigods exist and these superior beings know and realize the spiritual world and its King, God. 2. God, Krishna exists. The argument of the marriage of Laksmana and Krishna 1. To marry Laksmana the aspirant had to hit with an arrow the eye of a turning fish at the ceiling of the palace while looking at the reflection of it in a bucket of water. The fish was covered. Many warriors couldn't even lift the bow. Then many couldn't string the bow. Arjuna the partial incarnation of the king of the demigods, Indra, touched the fish with his arrow but not the eye, Krishna's arrow pierced the fish's eye. 2. There is a superior to Indra the king of the demigods. That is Krishna, the king of all the kings and the king of the demigods. 3. God exists. The argument of the fight with Jambavan 1. Krishna fought for 28 days and nights with Jambavan. At that time Jambavan was the strongest living entity. Being beaten up, Jambavan felt very tired. To mitigate the pains of the body of Jambavan Krishna began to lovingly strike His hand all over the body of Jambavan. Jambavan at once felt relieved from the fatigue and

wounds of the great fight. He wondered "Who is this?". Then he could understand that this was the Supreme Personality of Godhead because Krishna was pleased by his service of fighting. And he could not be defeated by anyone else then the Supreme Personality of Godhead. 2. God exists. The argument of the marriage of Satya by Krishna 1. The prince desiring to marry princess Satya had to bind 7 ferocious bulls with long sharp horns. No human on the earth at that time could bind these wild bulls, but for these bulls Krishna it was like playthings, like small kiddies of goats. 2. God exists. The argument of the marriage of Rukmini 1. Krishna kidnapped Rukmini, the most beautiful princess in the world. As a lion takes away a lamb or deer from the flocks or groups of dogs Krishna defeated the assembly of the most powerful kings and princes on earth like Sisupala, Jarasandha who were like dogs trying to oppose the progressive march of a lion. She had written a letter to Krishna to please deliver her from the forced marriage to Sisupala, arranged by Rukmini's brother Rukma. 2. God exists. The argument of Krishna lifting Govardhana hill 1. Krishna stopped the worship of Indra, the king of the demigods and director of the clouds. Indra sent devastating rainfall as thick as pillars and sharp as arrows, pouring water incessantly, Along with great storms, hailstones, thunder and lightning. The land of Vraja was filled with water. The clouds could covered the entire earth with a single vast ocean. Krishna picked up the king of the mountains, Govardhana, which was touching the clouds, using it as a great umbrella and put it on the little finger of His left hand. Govardhana hill was so high that its peaks touched the moon and the sungods horses could eat the durvagrass at its summit. Krishna was then 7 years old. He held the hill for 7 days. Krishna held the mountain without any difficulty, just like a child holding a mushroom. When Krishna was preparing to lift Govardhana hill a partial expansion of Yoga maya, samhariki, temporarily removed all the rain from the sky so that as Krishna ran very swiftly from the porch of His house to the mountain, neither His turban nor other garments became wet. The cowherd community included many 1000's of cows, calves and bulls. Govardhana was only 3 miles across to fit this all under. Govardhana Hill, who was in ecstasy being touched by Krishna's hand expanded his form to 32 miles. Also being touched by Krishna's hand, it acquired inconceivable power and felt the 100's of deadly thunderbolts thrown upon it by angry Indra, to be offerings of soft fragrance flowers and at times was not even aware that the thunderbolts were striking. When Krishna lifted Govardhana, the mountain extended beyond all the devastation clouds. The deer, wild hogs and other animals and birds standing on the hill's flanks climbed up to Govardhana's peak, and thus even they didn't experience the slightes distress. Another wonder: Krishna stood directly facing everyone eventhough the vrajavasis stood all around Krishna and by the nectar of the beauty and sweetness of Krishna and their association everyone forgot about eating, drinking and sleeping for 7 days. By the Supreme Lord, the Lords Sudarsana cakra which can be effulgent and hot as 1000s of suns the 7 days continuous rain water immediately dried up as it fell to the ground. 2. God exists. The argument of the delivering of Salva 1. Salva had an aircraft resembling the present day UFO's (unidentified flying objects) or flying saucers. Sometimes many airplanes would appear to be in the sky and sometimes there were apparently none: it had become invisible. Sometimes the airplane was visible on the ground, sometimes flying in the sky or resting on the peak of a hill or floating on the water. The peculiar airplane flew in the sky like a whirling fire brand or -stick. Krishna struck Salva with His club on his chest. Salva vomited blood and became invisible by his mystic power. Then he created an illusory father of Krishna and beheaded it. With a crashing blow from Krishna's club, Salva's wonderful airplane burst into pieces and fell into the sea. The Lord took up His wonderful disc, shining like the brilliant sun and cut off Salvas head. The Sudarshana Cakra rotates fastly, it is vested with 1000s of beams like fire emitting flames. 2. God exists.

The argument of Akrura seeing the spiritual world in the Yamuna. 1. Akrura brought Krishna and Balarama in his chariot to Mathura for a wrestling match. On the way they took bath in the Yamuna. First Krishna and Balarama took bath. Then Akrura, while Krishna and Balarama were back in the chariot. Akrura suddenly saw Krishna and Balarama within the water. Coming out of the water, he saw Them on the chariot. Then went back to the yamuna. This time he saw not only Krishna and Balarama but many of the demigods, all standing before the Lord in His Narayana feature with 4 hands who was lying down on a couch of Sesa naga His snake bed. Sesa had 1000's of hoods. The Lord was smiling very beautifully. He was pleasing to all and looking towards everyone. His body possessed dazzling beauty and was decorated with extraordinarily beautiful clothes and jewels. The transcendental Supreme Personality of Godhead was worshiped served and prayed to by His eternal associates. While Akrura offered His prayers, His Lordship disappeared from the water. Akrura got out of the water wonderstruck. Krishna asked wether he had seen something wonderful. Akrura said, "My dear Lord all wonders are in Your universal form. When I have seen You, what wonderful things I have not seen. There cannot be anything more wonderful then Your transcendental form". 2. Krishna is God, God exists The argument of the liberation of Kesi 1. The demon Kesi assumed the form of a terrible horse. His tail was wheeling in the sky like a big cloud. His legs were strong, forceful and hard as stone. Kesis whinning caused the three worlds to tremble and his wide open rolling eyes burned the whole universe Kesi tried to trample Krishna. Krishna moved around him dexterously. Then He threw him away a hundred yards just as Garuda throws a big snake. Then Kesi rushed toward Krishna again, with the mouth open. Krishna pushed His hand within his mouth. Krishna's hand felt to him like a hot iron rod. His teeth fell out, Krishna's hand inflated and Kesi suffocated. The demigods were amazed and out their great appreciation they offered Krishna thanks by showering flowers. 2. God exists. The argument of astrology proving Krishna as God 1. Garga muni spoke Krishna's past and future. "Krishna appears as an incarnation in every of the four millenniums (yuga). He assumes the colors white, red, blackish and yellow or black. Now He has appeared in His full form as the source of all avataras. He is Syama, dark not black Krishna's transcendental body radiates a splendid beautiful effulgence which is aKrishnam, not black, brighter than a mound of blue sapphires. 2. Krishna is God. God exists The argument of the Liberation of Vyomasura 1. This "demon who flies in the sky" stole one by one, Krishna's friends, during their pastimes. Krishna caught hold of him as a lion catches hold of a lamb. The demon tried to expand himself big like a hill to escape arrest but Krishna didn't allow him to get out of His clutches. He was immediately thrown on the ground and killed. 2. God exists. The argument of the fruitvendor getting her fruit basket refilled with jewels and gold. 1. Krishna took some grains and went to barter as if He needed some fruits. The infallible is full in every respect and He Himself provides fruits for everyone. Yet He desired some fruits. While Krishna was going to the fruitvendor most of the grains He held fell. The woman selling fruits became overcome with affection for Krishna and filled Krishnas hands with all the fruits she had. Krishna somehow managed to hold them all in His small hand by the influence of His potency of majestic opulence and went back to his home. In return, the aborigine woman received all types of wealth including the treasure of love of God. She returned to her place and when she brought down the basket from her head she found it full of gems and gold. After this life she became a maid to Mother Yashoda for eternity. 2. God exists. The argument of the deliverance of the calf demon.

1. One day while Balarama and Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, along with their playmates were tending the calves on the bank of river Yamuna another demon arrived desiring to kill Them. He had assumed the form of a calf and entered among the groups of the other calves. The Lord, the infallible, who never falls or fails, grasped the hind legs and tail of Vatsasura and whirled the demon around very severely until he was dead and then threw him in a tree which then fell down. The trees' fruits were within easy reach of Krishna's friends. In the upper planetary system, all the demigods were pleased, and therefore they showered flowers on the Supreme Personality of Godhead. 2. God exists. The argument of the blessing of the Brahmana Sudama vipra 1. Sudama brahmana (priest) was very, very poor. One day he visited his old school friend Sri Krishna in His city with 16.000 palaces. Krishna treated His brahmana friend Sudama as if God had come on earth, to His city. When Sudama went back to his home, Krishna had given his home family and native city such opulence as cannot even be imagined by the king of heaven. Big palaces, nice parks, beautiful clothes 2. God exists The argument of the breaking the cart and freeing the cart demon 1. Krishna had been put to sleep under a cart during an outdoor festival. A heavy demon entered the cart so the wheels sank in the earth; Krishna's short baby legs could now reach and kick the very large cart. It would have taken 10 men at least to lift this cart. The cart flew high up in the air and crashed to pieces. The demon's soul freed from karma by Krishna's purifying association went back to the spiritual world. 2. Krishna is God, God exists. The argument of the prayers by the demigods to Krishna in the womb. 1. They welcomed and glorified Krishna. You also appear in our minds; Your body is not material, Your qualities manifest from a person possessing spiritual nature. It is You who have these qualities. There must be some person to manifest those qualities, for matter alone cannot do that. It is by the agency of the spiritual energy that these qualities manifest, not by the agency of matter". 2. Demigods know all the material energies in the universe. They even bestow them as magical mystical powers for the demons. And they knew Krishna and His activities are beyond matter; transcendental. They said: "You are beyond us" 3. God, Krishna exists. The argument of the killing of Trnavartasura 1. Krishna was one year old when a demon came who was as a strong whirlwind and carried Krishna into the sky. Krishna thought: "the Vrajavasis can lift me a little, now I can go higher. I want to play in the sky and fulfill the desires of the celestial ladies to see My beauty". Vrindavana was overcast with dense darkness from the dust storm created by Trnavartas whirlwind Krishna grasped the demon by his throat and choked him. The demon thought of Krishna as wonderful: he couldn't bear Him nor cast Him aside. The demon fell down with his back on a slab of stone. Krishna was unhurt remaining on his chest. 2. God, Krishna exists The argument of the deliverance of Bakasura 1. Bakasura had assumed such a huge duck-like body that it was taller than the peak of Mt. Kailasa. The upper part of his sharp beak pierceed the heavenly planets. At once, as he swallowed Krishna, he seemed to intend to devour all other living entities on earth and heaven. Although, passing through the saliva filled throat of that demon, Krishna's clothing and ornaments had not become the least sullied. Krishna who was the father of Lord Brahma (the demigod creator of the universe) but who was acting as the son of a cowherd man became like fire, burning the root of the demon's throat. The demon immediately disgorged Him and then attacked Krishna again with his sharp beak. Krishna with His arms captured the demon by the two halves of its beak and very easily bifurcated him as a child splits a blade of grass. At that time the celestial denizens of the higher planetary systems showered

flowers upon Krishna. They also congratulated Him by sounding celestial kettle drums and conchshells and by offering prayers. 2. God exists. The argument of liberation for Aghasura, the serpent demon. 1. The demigods were afraid of being killed by this demon. He was 8 miles in length. His lower lip rested on the earth and his upper lip touched the clouds. His tongue resembled a wide road. His breath was like a blazing fire and his eyes blazed like fire. The serpent's teeth were like high mountain peaks. Krishna killed Aghasura by expanding His body within the demon's throat. His breath was giving off the bad smell of burning flesh because of all the animals he had eaten. Krishna entered the mouth of Aghasura. The demigods hidden behind the clouds exclaimed "alas, alas" out of fear. They knew His powers but the nature of affection is to sometimes lose one's power of discrimination. The demon suffocated, his life air and soul being trapped in his body with no outlet, finally burst out through the hole atop his head and passed to and attained the Lord's abode to serve Him eternally. Then the demigods showered flowers, the celestial dancing girls began to dance, celestial singers sang etc. An infinity of festivals of glorification of Krishna was going on all throughout the universe. 2. God or Krishna exists The argument of the stealing of the cowherd-boys and calves by Lord Brahma 1. Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe and foremost of the demigods was so deluded by the material energy that he wanted to test whether Krishna was the Supreme Personality of Godhead and above him (Brahma). Krishna's all fulfilling desire potency and pastime potency fulfilled Krishna's wish. They said "Oh Lord, if you want some obstacle during this picnic for some amusement then we will go and bring Brahma the head of all the demigods". The celestial residents watched in astonishment at how Krishna and His friends were picnicking, herding calves and playing in the forest. Brahma stole Krishna's friends and calves and put them to sleep in a cave. This was all done by Krishna's spiritual energy. Krishna recreated all His friends and calves. Then He transformed these to Visnu forms. Lord Brahma was completely bewildered. And convinced that Krishna was God Brahma prayed: "Gunja berries earrings accent the beauty of Your face, flowers adorn Your head". Brahma's description reveals the superiority of the gunja berries of Vraja to the precious jewels of Vaikuntha's Narayana, the Lord, king of the material universes. It is like a king who is superior or rather in his home and palace pastimes then in the government buildings. Brahma continued: "Your avataras, incarnations such as sankarsana actually have counted the number of atoms on the earth, the snowflakes and even the particles of sunlight yet even such a personality as sankarsana, who has been continuously chanting Krishna's glories since time immemorial, can not come to an end of enumerating those glories. "Nara" means living entities and "ayana" means shelter. You are the ultimate shelter of all living entities. Though You are here and seem to be localized and therefore limited You hold all the universes and the spiritual world within You and are therefore unlimited. You exist at all times in all places but by the covering of Your spiritual potency You are sometimes visible and sometimes invisible. And by You spiritual potency you are sometimes in this form and sometimes in another form. How is it possible to satisfy simultaneously all Your devotees? Your inconceivable energy perfectly carries out the work of presenting different pastimes to Your various devotees at the suitable time. You assume forms and relationships similar to those found in the material world, but Your relationships are not false or temporary like those of material fathers and sons, material husband and wife, material lovers, material friends and material masters and servants. Your forms and relationships are completely transcendental and eternally existing. Though Your pastimes are eternal and transcendental, they appear similar to material activities. Thinking that is was not proper for my master Krishna, who is the most exalted Lord of the Lords, to hold a stick and to be decorated with gunja berries, mineral colors, peacock feathers and other simple ornaments and enjoy pastimes with cowherd boys and girls and cowherd family members, I foolishly committed an offense. O Supreme Personality of Godhead, as long as the universe exists and as long as the sun shines, I will offer my obeisances to You. To benefit the living entities in the material world Krishna appears by His causeless and inconceivable mercy to be somewhat like an ordinary conditioned soul and covers His supreme majesty. He is thus directly perceived by the material senses. In ordinary circumstances He is never perceived by the material senses. Brahma could have never caused such illusion over Krishna's associates on his own. Brahma stole some other forms of boys created by the external energy. Brahma wanted to see more of Krishna's power. Brahma thought:

"will Krishna show another pastime or search and find the cows or pray to me to get them back or will He be bewildered". Krishna's spiritual energy hid the real boys and calves and Krishna's material energy produced exact illusory replicas for Brahma to steal. Krishna took the form of all the missing calves and boys. As the source of all, Krishna is the original form of all forms. But now the boys and calves were Himself, the Krishna category, not His energies. For a moment of Brahma and one year on earth, Krishna acted as everyone, performing different pastimes. When Brahma returned to see the fun he saw the group of boys and calves he had put asleep and another group engaged in their pastimes with Krishna. He thought, "Who is the real one or is there only one; when I look away from one Krishna transposes them". Then all the cowherd boys and calves transformed into Narayana forms. This is Krishna's expansion as the majestic Lord of all beings. And Brahma saw that all beings from Brahma to the blade of grass were worshipping these Narayana-forms by e.g. singing and dancing. All these Narayana forms were surrounded by His opulences and the elements of the creation. Then the puzzled astonished Brahma saw the wealth of sweet Vrindavan again and Krishna was playing as a cowherd boy. Yet Brahma now understood that Krishna was the master of the whole creation and that he was simply His insignificant servant. Demigods never touch the earth but when Lord Brahma understood that the Absolute Truth the highest spirituality, the root cause of everything was standing before him in His divine eternal humanlike form as a cowherd boy in Vraja in whose image he was made, he quickly jumped off the back of his swan carrier. Because Brahma's four heads were facing in four directions, to make his obeisances completely by touching the Lord's feet, he had to fall on the ground and raise himself four times. He bathed Krishna's lotus feet with a profuse outpouring of tears. Lord Brahma remained on the ground at Krishna's feet for a long time due to being overwhelmed by intense bliss. 2. God exists. The argument of Krishna and the sages, simultaneously in the palace of king Bahulasva and the house of the brahmana Srutadeva. 1. Srutadeva was a great devotee of Krishna. Bahulasva was a good devotee of Krishna. Krishna one day desired to visit them with Narada, Vamadeva, Atri, Vyasadeva, Sukadeva gosvami, Parshuram, Asita, Aruni, Brhaspati, Kanva, Maitreya, Cyavana and others. Srutadeva and Bahulasva simultaneously invited them. To please both of them the Lord and the sages expanded to go to the two. Simultaneously each one, the brahmana and the king thought Krishna and His entourage had only come to him. 2. God exists. The argument of the liberation of the demon Dhenuka, the ass-demon 1. Dhenuka had falsely taken proprietorship over an orchard with delicious fruits. Balarama took him by the hindlegs and twirled him around till he died. 2. Dhenuka was stronger then any mortal human, still Balarama was stronger then Dhenuka. 3. Above humans there are higher beings, divine beings, (demi)gods. 4. The hierarchy of divine beings ends with the Supreme powerful, the king of all divine beings, God. (see the first argument on motion). There must be a first Supreme God, an ultimate substance as one can't progress walking on a hill of fine sand. 5. God exists The argument of Krishna chastising the serpent Kaliya 1. The serpent Kaliya poisoned an 8 miles wide lake of a branch of the Ganges, the Yamuna. Birds flying over the lake and trees at the banks of the lake died by the fumes. The water especially close to Kaliya was boiling hot and reddish yellow color. Krishna's friends died drinking the water. Krishna revived them. Kaliya had 1000 hoods and was several meters. Krishna jumped in the lake creating huge waves 400 hands high. Krishna played in the water producing wonderful musical sounds simply by splashing the water with His hands and arms. Krishna said to Kaliya after remaining gripped in his coils for one hour "listen Kaliya, you have shown me enough of your strength. Now I will show you a little of My prowess". Kaliya had to let go of Krishna because he felt pained by the expanding body of the Lord. Kaliya failed to bite the Lord because Krishna continually moved in the opposite direction as the serpent. The gems on Kaliya's hoods became brilliantly shining at the very touch of Krishna. Krishna's lotus feet became red like copper from touching the numerous jewels upon the heads of Kaliya. While Krishna was dancing the demigods worshipped Krishna by showers of flowers, musical accompaniment and

singing. Krishna had a dance party with His girlfriends on Kaliya's hoods: blood streamed from Kaliya's mouths and nostrils. He was danced and trampled into submission by the purifying touch of Krishna's lotus feet, Kaliya's offenses were neutralized. Kaliya remembered or realized he was fighting an opponent who was 1000's of times stronger then his arch-rival Garuda. He thought This person therefore must be the Supreme Lord. This is the person my wives previously described as being approachable by bhakti. Taking the position of spiritual master, He placed His feet on my head. Now I will take shelter of Him. Krishna spoke to Kaliya's wives, who were praying to release Kaliya: "I have diagnosed Kaliya's disease. To wipe out the last traces of the disease I must stomp on his head 7 or 8 times more. You should permit this. Kaliya's wives pleaded: "We fear that if you give our husband this strong medicine of punishment, which is some more mercy to purify him, he may die. He is just about to leave his body. Krishna: "What does it matter if he gives up his snake body. What can he do with this body. It is better that he gives up this snake body and gets a spiritual body as my devotee. Kaliya's wives replied: "If we beautiful women become widow we will be forced to marry with another sinful snake. Since Kaliya is now a vaisnava, he has become the object of our affection and our life and soul. Krishna: "Then take your husband". Krishna took away the upper cloths (covering the breasts) of the chaste wives of Kaliya, who were praying to Krishna. He joined these clothes and making a rope put it into the nostrils of Kaliya and sat on its hood and like a chained riding horse made him move. He held the rope by His left hand and His flute with His right hand, putting it to his mouth and blowing it. 2. The killing of all these mighty asuras was not possible by the great gods like Brahma and Siva etc. even by using their prowess and mighty weapons. It was done at ease by Sri Krishna. 3. God exists The argument of Krishna in many places 1. In a picnic in the forest Krishna sat in the center encircled by lines of 1000's of friends. Due to love all the cowherd boys wanted to face Krishna. Krishna fulfilled their desire by employing His energy that fulfills everyone's desire and made His face and limbs appear in all directions at once. Thus each boy thought "I am sitting in front directly facing Krishna. But the other boys sit at a distance with their backs or sides to Krishna" When they began to enjoy their feast and find particular milkproducts most delicious, each one of them put it into the mouth of Sri Krishna, without getting up from their respective seat. So close by they remained to Him. 2. Krishna is God, God exists The argument of the liberation of Aristrasura 1. Once a demon entered Vrindavana in the form of a big bull. His body touched the clouds and the earth was shaking as in an earth quake. When Aristasura playfully shook his head, Lord Siva became frightened and hid his bull, Nandi, in a cave of mount Mandara. He attacked Krishna with his horns fast and powerful as the thunderbolt of Indra. Krishna first took it by its horns and threw it back 10 meter. Then He broke its horns. Krishna kicked the bull as one squeezes a wet cloth till it was oozing out blood from its mouth and passing urine and excrement and left its body. The demigods from heaven showered flowers upon Krishna. 2. Krishna is God, God exists The argument of the deliverance of Lord Siva from the demon Vrka 1. Vrakasura had worshiped Lord Siva by cutting the flesh from his body and offering this into the fire. When he was about to cut off his head Siva came out of the fire and gave the benediction that as soon as he would touch anyone's head he would be killed at once. In this way he wanted to become immortal killing everyone including death. Vrkasura first of all wanted to kill Siva so to take away Gauri, Siva's wife for his personal enjoyment. Siva fled and went all over the universe. Finally Siva went in the direction of Visnuloka. Visnu appeared as a brahmacari before Vrkasura and Siva. The brahmacari was dressed as a follower of Siva and was very effulgent and attractive. Visnu as a brahmacari asked Vrkasura "how can you believe Lord Siva, he is the leader of ghosts and hobgoblins. But, if you have faith, why you don't make an experiment by putting your hand on your own head? If the benediction proves false then you can immediately kill this liar, Lord Siva, so that in the future he will not dare to give out false benedictions".

By Visnu's sweet words and appearance and by the expansion of Visnu's superior illusory energy the demon became bewildered and forgot the power of Lord Siva and his benediction. He put his hand on his own head. His head cracked and he immediately died. 2. God exists.

The argument of the swallowing of the forest fire 1. At another time there was a forest fire with fierce flames put by the followers of Pralambha, to revenge the death of Pralambha. But they themselves were burnt to death by the fire. As soon as Krishna desired to drink the forest fire His power or energy of destruction (samhara-sakti) extinguished and destroyed the forest fire and divine nectar (prema-rasa) flowed there, which Sri Krishna delightfully drank . 2. God exists. The argument of swallowing the forest fire 1. At another forest fire Krishna was very thirsty. Therefore the forest fire, being afraid and incapable of going against the will of Krishna turned into a very cool and tasty drink. Krishna drank that. 2. Krishna, God exists The liberation of Balvala 1. This was a gigantic person like a great mountain. When he came flying in the sky there appeared a great hailstorm caused by him; the whole sky was covered with dust. And the atmosphere became surcharged with a filthy smell and it showered torrents of urine with excrement and other dirt. His hairs appeared reddish like copper, his mouth dangerously fearful and his body colored black as carbon. Balarama dragged him down from the sky with His plow and angrily smashed the demon's head with His club. His forehead was fractured and he fell to the ground dead. 2. God exists. The argument of the liberation of Sisupala 1. Sisupala was a mighty demoniac king, unconquerable by humans and demigods. Krishna tolerated 99 insults and offenses to Himself. Then Krishna beheaded him with His Sudarshana cakra, His remote central sharp-edged flying turning disc. 2. God exists. The argument of Krishna, the Supreme Absolute Truth, releasing of Nanda Maharaja from the clutches of Varuna. 1. One of the servants of Varuna, the demigod presiding over all the waters, captured Nanda Maharaja, Krishna's pastime father, who was bathing. He brought him to Varuna's capital. Krishna went there. Varuna glorified Krishna as the Supreme Deity. Varuna: "Though I possess all varieties of jewels until now I have not obtained such a jewel as You". One of my foolish servants didn't knew that one can enter the water before sunrise after an especially short ekadasi. The offense of my servants is also mine. Then he showed Nanda seated on the jeweled throne, offered by Varuna to worship Nanda Maharaj. Nanda maharaj was astonished to see the fabulous opulence of Varuna 2. Varuna is one of the 33 leaders of 33 million demigods (each leader has 1 million subjects). As a minister in a state knows who is the king or the president, Varuna knows who is God. 3. God, Krishna, exists. The argument of showing heaven 1. When Nanda maharaj was brought back by Krishna he once later spoke with his friends. The cowherd man spoke to him "You have concluded that Krishna is God by directly hearing Varuna praising Him. The cowherd man asked Krishna " let us become liberated and residents of Vaikuntha". Krishna showed His own attractively charming spiritual planet, the best planet of the spiritual world or Vaikuntha (means the

place without anxiety), Krishnaloka. Then Krishna revealed the spiritual effulgence of the spiritual planets, which is unlimited, all-pervading, non-material, far beyond the material world. 2. God exists The argument of Arjuna a.o. winning the battle of Kurukshetra by taking shelter of Krishna 1. In the Mahabharata war Arjuna and his brothers' army was qualitatively and quantitatively inferior then Duryodhana and his brothers army. 2. Krishna was advising Arjuna and his brothers and therefore 640 million people, including the burden on the earth, got liberated and removed. 3. God exists. The argument of Krishna saving king Parikshit in the womb of his mother 1. Lord Krishna, with His club and Sudarshana-cakra in His hands and club entered the womb of Parikshit's mother and saved Parikshit's body which was almost destroyed by the fiery weapon (brahmastra) released by Asvatthama. He also protected the limbs of Parikshit Maharaja's mother. 2. The brahmastra is the greatest weapon. The demigods cant counteract it by their weapons. 3. Krishna is God, God exists The argument of the liberation of Dantavakra 1. Dantavakra was so angry that he came rushing to Krishna with only a club. The earth was shaking. He struck Krishna but Krishna was unaffected. Krishna struck Dantavakra on his chest so his heart split up. The soul of Dantavakra came out of his body and merged into Krishna's body. Killing such a great demoniac hero was not possible for any demigod or human being. 2. Krishna, God exists. The argument of the liberation of Vidura, the brother of Dantavakra 1. Krishna's sudarshana cakra cut off Vidura's head. Krishna is the only one God and all others are His subordinate. 2. Krishna, God exists. The argument of the testing of the sages 1. The sage Bhrgu was sent to test the principal lords in the universe. Who had the most goodness. First he went to Brahma, his father. He didn't pay any respect either obeisances or prayer. Brahma nearly cursed Bhrgu muni. Siva was Bhrgus brother. Siva got up when Bhrgu came to him and Siva wanted to embrace him. Bhrgu said "No, you smear your body with ashes, you are impure". Siva took up his trident but Durgadevi saved the situation. Finally Bhrgu went to Visnu or Narayana. Visnu was lying on a bed of flower and the goddess of fortune was massaging His feet. Bhrgu put his feet on the chest of Visnu. But Visnu is so great, so magnanimous that He got up (not taking any offense also because Bhrgu was a brahmana) and offered His respects to the brahmana and spoke: "My chest is as heard as a thunderbolt and your feet soft as a lotus flower. I hope you didn't feel pain touching my chest. It is a great fortune that you came. Excuse Me that I didn't get up immediately when you came. Let me massage your feet to relieve you of your pain. My chest is now sanctified. 2. According to the sages, Visnu or Krishna is the Highest of all the Gods, the God of the demigods. 3. God exists. The argument of the deliverance of Kamsa 1. Kamsa occupied many kingdoms and made alliances with all the other kings such as the demon Pralambha, demon Baka, demon Canura, demon Trnavarta, demon Aghasura, demon Mustika, demon Arista, demon Dvivida, demon Putana, demon Kesi, demon Dhenukasura. In this way Kamsa became the most powerful king on the earth. Even the demigods, headed by Indra, couldnt defeat Kamsa in battle. Kamsa defeated Varuna. Once Indra withheld the rain. By the strength of His sword, Kamsa conquered the clouds and forced them to rain profusely.

One day Kamsa organized a wrestling match and invited Krishna and Balarama. They were then merely boys. On the way Krishna deheaded a demoniac washerman by striking him with the upper portion of His hand. He broke a bow in a sanctified arena for demigod sacrifice. A bow which no one could even lift. He killed a huge mad elephant, Kuvalyapida, by catching hold of its trunk and pulling it down, jumped on its back and broke its back and killed the caretaker also. Krishna left with an ivory tusk on His shoulder. Then Krishna and Balarama combated wrestlers, who were huge men as solid as stone, the strongest wrestlers on earth. Then Krishna caught the 2 hands of Canura, one of the wrestlers, and began to wheel him around till he lost his life. Mustika another one was struck by Balarama with great force; So that the wrestler trembled vomited blood and gave up his vital force. Wrestler Sala was kicked by Krishna and his head cracked. Then Krishna jumped to Kamsa's throne. Kamsa was wheeling his sword but Krishna knocked his crown from his head, dragged him down to the wrestling arena and with the strokes of His fist Kamsa lost his vital force. Kamsa's soul went back to the spiritual world. He had been his whole life thinking of the Supreme Personality of Godhead as his enemy. Balarama, with the tusk of the elephant Kuvalyapida, killed all the 8 brothers of Kamsa. The demigods including Siva and Brahma showered flowers, they were beating on drums and played music, sang and danced. 2. Krishna is God, God exists. The argument of Krishna filling bellies even there was not enough to eat. 1. One day in the forest Krishna's friends were very hungry. That day they had taken no food from home, because they wanted to live on the foods of the forests. Actually they wanted Krishna and Balarama to eat. Krishna said : "go tho the wives of the brahmana's overthere". The food that was brought by the brahmana's was inadequate to feed all the cowherd boys. But the Almighty Krishna caused all of their bellies to be completely filled. 2. miracles happen, miraclemakers exists above ordinary humans. 3. The hierarchy of divine beings ends with the Supreme mystic, God (see argument 1) there must be a first ground or intelligence giving and directing all the magic. 4. God exists. The argument of the retrieving of Devaki's sons who were killed by Kamsa 1. The 6 sons of devaki (before the birth of Krishna and Balarama) were killed directly after birth. Krishna and Balarama went to one planet Sutala loka situated downwards in this universe. They brought these 6 conditioned souls back to Devaki, who gave them her breastmilk, from breasts suckled before by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This all was only possible by inconceivable potencies. These 6 souls had been demigods before but were cursed. Now they became so purified by touching Devaki that they awakened their original identities and went back to the spiritual world. 2. Only God can give liberation 3. Krishna is God. God exists. The argument of Lord Balarama slaying the demon Pralambha. 1. Pralambhasura assumed the form of a cowherd boy who on that day had remained home with particular duties to perform. No ordinary mortal could equal him in power. Krishna's eternal expansion, Balarama, Krishna's eternal brother, killed him. While everyone was playing, Pralambha carried away Balarama by flying into the heavens and displayed his actual form. He had a huge body resembling a cloud flashing with lightning. His terrifying face was with blazing eyes, fiery hair and terrible teeth, reaching toward his brows. Balarama's body first became so heavy that Pralambha had to slow down. Then Balarama's powerful fist cracked the demon's head, which cracked open. The demon vomitted blood and lost all consciousness. Then with a great noise he fell lifeless on the ground. The demigods showered flower garlands upon Balarama and praised this excellence of His deeds. The soul of Pralambha entered Balarama and then back to the spiritual world. 2. God, Krishna exists The argument of blowing out the forest fire

1. One day Krishna and His friends were herding cows and calves in a forest and got surrounded by a forest fire, a form assumed by a follower of Kaliya or Kamsa. Krishna, the Supreme mystic blowed out all the flames of the blazing fire as a burning lamp is put off by blowing out air through the mouth 2. Krishna is God, God exists. The argument of the song of Krishna's flute 1. By Krishna's flute playing the birds, cows and bees are so enchanted that they abandon their food and chewing to listen to it, with joyful tears in their eyes. The calves stopped sucking the udders of their mothers. The milk falls from their open mouths and they stand as if stunned. Birds with unblinking eyes behold Sri Krishna. Clouds appear over His head to allay the suffering of the hot sun. The mountains get melted at the alluring sound. Krishna skillfully blended His flute song with the flute song with the lovely sounds of Vrindavana's chirping birds, buzzing bees, waterfalls. The forest became happy, blooming with lotuses. The trees pouring out their honey seem to be weeping in bliss. The devotees shed tears of joy and experience horripilation. The peacocks surround Krishna in a circle and dance madly in tune with the rhythm of His melody and gentle animals such as deer and doves greatly relish Krishna's transcendental performance and to get a good view they flock to the peaks of the hills s they watch the breath taking program, they became stunned in ecstasy. The does worship Krishna with their affectionate glances. Because of their affection for Krishna, the bucks are encouraged by seeing their wives attracted to Him and thus consider their household livers fortunate. The demigods and the demigoddesses become mad after Krishna. The cows and calves have raised their ears like cups to hear the sound of Krishna's flute. Some birds keep their eyes closed, observe silence and remain motionless, they became ecstatic and cling to the branches to avoid falling off the trees. Tree are transformed in ecstasy and begin to sprout new leaves out of ecstasy. The sweet vibrations of Krishna's flute which agitate the whole universe arises from Krishna alone, not from Visnu, Brahma, Siva or Indra. It is impossible for anyone else to produce such enchanting music. Some rivers exhibit whirlpools. Some rivers stop flowing towards the ocean. The excess water swells into standing motionless waves embracing the lotus feet of Krishna and holding on to them offering of lotus flowers. When the moving living entities hear the flute sound they became motionless. The non-moving trees adapted the qualities of moving living entities and trembled in ecstasy. The flowers lost their colors and cried tears of honey. The voices of the birds were choked and altered. The vines sprouts formed goosepimples. All the moving and non-moving creatures fainted. By Krishnas flute playing the mountain cover with perspiration (melted and flowed in all directions. Thirst birds and deer eagerly approach this fluid but became stunned after hearing the flute sung and are unable to drink it. The water in the lakes is stoned (i.e. became like stone) and Krishna's flute sound causes the swan to become stunned also , as if their feet were firmly bound in it. Krishnas flute-playing rebukes the cooing of Brahmas swancarrier. By Krishnas flute sound honey oozed from all the trees of Vrndavana. The waters of the streams become stunned and solid. The rocks become soft and melt and the mountains no longer standing still, tremble and walk about. The cows are stunned with bliss and sprinkle the flowers with great flowing waves of milk. It blocked the movements of the rain clouds. Maharaja Ananta Sesa, the carrier of the planets, whirled around. The demons are either stunned, agitated or frightened. Overcome with ecstasy as he listens with 8 ears to Krishnas flute music, Brahma rolls about on the back of his swan. 1 God exists

The next set of arguments proof that Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God
The argument of the statement of Advaita Acarya (who is Lord Mahavisnu and Lord Sadasiva combined) 1. Advaita acarya's mother once had a dream in which Lord Siva foresaw the age of kali. He became filled with compassion and went to the shore of the ocean of causes, the origin of the material universe. Mahavisnu lies there. Lord Siva beseeched Lord Mahavisnu for His merciful descent by performing austerities for 700 years. Lord Mahavisnu appeared and spoke "My dear Lord why you try to please Me with difficult austerities? You and I are one!" Lord Sadasiva replied "my dear Lord, unless You empower Me to save mankind how can I do it". Lord Mahavisnu embraced Lord Sadasiva and by Their shared compassion they took one form - Sri Advaita acarya. Once the king of that area sent his son with Advaita (he was about 8 years old) to the temple of Durga. Advaita

refused to bow down to Durga and the prince became disturbed and called for Advaita's father Kuvera. Advaita told His father politely: "As the Cakora bird can only live on moonlight, I can only worship Lord Krishna, the Supreme of all the gods". Just then, the Durga deity on the temple altar burst into pieces and the goddess came out of it illuminating all directions. A voice filled the room proclaiming "The husband will never bow down to the wife". In this way Durga indicated that the boy Advaita was none other then Her husband, Lord Siva. Advaita acarya glorified Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna and acted as His servant. Lord Siva's only master is Sri Krishna. One night Advaita took His mother to a high mountain. All of India's holy river in personified form appeared before Advaita, who was effulgent in His divine four-armed form of Maha- Visnu. They offered their prayers to Advaita with the reverberation of conchshells, the rivers showered His mother with their divine waters. Once, a voice in the sky sounded: "This is God Himself. Nobody is more learned then Him". At the marriage of Advaita acarya one brahman spoke "This woman is Yogamaya incarnate and Advaita acarya is God Himself. How could anyone ever conceive of a better match? Advaita showed to Gauridasa pandita His four-armed form and later also a six-armed form. 2 God exists The argument of the Navadvipa priests 1. Seeing Nimai at one occasion, the brahmana priests of Navadvipa concluded that "Gaura Hari, Nimai is not a mortal being. Perhaps He is a demigod. However His astoundingly brilliant effulgence indicates that He is none other then the Supreme Lord Govinda Himself". 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of divine voice from the sky 1. One day while sitting in His home, Visvambhara said "What shall I do, where shall I go, How will I fix My mind on Krishna?" Suddenly a divine voice announced from the sky "Listen Visvambhara, You Yourself are God. You have come to this world to give Your mercy by teaching love of Godhead. By doing Hari-nama-sankirtana You will establish religion in this world. Do not lament. The people of Kali will be delivered by receiving Your mercy. Your love will remove the sufferings of everyone. Now stop lamenting and start Your sankirtana movement. 2. Visvambhara, Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the revelation to Murari Gupta 1. Gaurahari, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said to Murari "Listen to what the Veda's say about Me, in the Svetasvatara Upanishads (3.19): "The omnipotent Supreme Personality of Godhead has no material hands or legs. Yet He runs swiftly to receive offerings. He has no material eyes but still He sees everything. He knows everything, but no one knows Him. Realized brahmanas say that He is the Supreme Personality". Then Murari requested "My Lord, I want to see Your Lordship's form as Lord Rama". Within a second Murari saw Lord Ramachandra, Sitadevi, Laksmana, Bharata and Shatrughana stood around the Lord. Gaurasundara pacified Murari, "Actually Murari, You are none other then Hanuman and I am the same Lord Rama". 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the sages 1 Damodara Pandit asked Murari Gupta "Why did the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna leave His cloud-blue color and assume a golden colour? Why did He remove His dress and activities as a gallant lover to adopt the dress and activities of a sannyasi". Murari answered: "Narada muni once became greatly distressed by the suffering of humanity in the kali age. He began travelling throughout the universe giving out the holy names of Krishna. Being too attached to material existence, people of the kali age refused to accept the holy name. Then He thought to Himself "I must bring the Supreme Lord Krishna to the earth" and went to Dvaraka, in the spiritual world

Narada asked Krishna to descend. Krishna said: "In the age of kali I will manifest Myself as devotee of Myself to caste happiness relished by My pure devotees and I will give out the bliss of prema-bhakti to everyone in the world. The beauty of My golden form will defeat the beauty of Mount Sumeru". While absorbed in this ecstasy, Lord Krishna suddenly showed His form as Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu. This was the first time in this yuga that Lord Krishna revealed the transcendental form of Lord Gauranga, the beautiful golden Lord. He spoke: "Although over the ages, many branches of religion have appeared in the world, I will teach pure love of Godhead to unite all people". When Narada left Dvaraka, he reflected "Oh, what unparalleled beauty have I just seen. His compassionate eyes appeared reddish like the rising sun. Oh, what a profuse expression of nectar I have seen. I saw the sweetest smile ever on Gaura's beautiful lotus face. He is superior to all the Lord's previous incarnations. Before today, I have never seen such a reservoir of love. He is the essence of all incarnations. 2 God exists The argument of the divine body of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu 1. The moon of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's face shames the nectar Moon of this world. His splendor robs gold of its beauty and chastises lightning. His pearl necklace is splendid as a line of stars. One wonders Is this a flood of nectar flowing from the Moon of His face. The wealth of His eyes leaves the devotee always unsatiated. His curved eyebrows defeat Kamadeva's unstrung bow, or is this a line of bumble bees motionless from having drunk the nectar they desired from these lotus eyes. If a stationary flash of lightning were decorated with stars, two bubbles of nectar placed beneath it, and the whole thing placed within a lotus flower it would be defeated by Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu's splendid nose. The rain of sweetness from His smile makes the devotee's heart thirst. The Lord's thighs uproot the pride of the golden banana trees. 2 Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument that Sri Nityananda is God 1. At a festival of honoring Lord Sri Nityananda, He was placed on a celestial throne and bathed with scented Ganges water. Some sang sweet songs. Someone brought new clothes, smeared His body with sandalwood paste and placed a flower garland around His neck. One devotee held an umbrella over His head. The Lord then told one of His servants I would like to wear a garland of kadamba flowers. But it is not the season for kadamba the servant replied. The Lord pointed to a tree and said go to that tree and surely you will find kadamba flowers. The servant went to the Jamusia tree indicated and, to his surprise, found that kadamba flowers were blooming there. 2.God exists The argument of revelation Lord Nityananda and His followers were on naga (town to town) sankirtan chanting dancing from village to village. Suddenly, those who were extremely fortunate saw that Mahaprabhu Gauracandra was dancing in between Lord Nityananda and Lord Advaita. At that time Mahaprabhu Gauracandra had gone to Jagannatha Puri, 100s Km south. Seeing this the demigods cheered jaya, jaya 2 God exists. The argument by absence When Lord Sri Gauracandra left Navadvipa the Ganges waves stopped dancing. The Deities became very gloomy. The Trees did not bloom. The flowers lost their scent. The bumblebees stopped sucking honey by not sitting on the flowers. The cuckoos stopped cooing. The peacocks stopped dancing. The parrots began crying and would not fly. The cows stopped grazing. The animals stopped preying.

All pleasure left from the minds of the inhabitants of Navadvipa. Not a word could be heard, only the pitiful sound of crying. They cried so bitterly that the earth became muddy with their tears. They practically lost their lives due to separation from Him. 2 God exists The argument of reviving the dead 1. The son of Srivasa who had been ill, expired. The Supreme Lord Gaurahari by His inconceivable potency empowered the dead boy to speak about the real truth of human life. In this way all the family members were able to forget their misery. Lord Gaurahari lovingly told Srivasa Henceforth, Nityananda and I will be your two sons. 2. God exists The argument of revelation 1.Mahaprabhu bestowed His mercy upon a yavana tailor who lived by the side of Srivasas house and used to stitch clothes for Srivasa. The Lord revealed His fourhanded Narayana form to the tailor, who began to dance uttering I have seen, I have seen. 2. God exists The arguments of the statements of the demigods 1. Before Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's birth there was an announcement, "The time of the Lord's appearance in the womb of Sacidevi has come". The demigods came down and stood before Sacidevi praying: "All glories to the infallible Lord who is eternal, unlimited and one without a second. All glories to the Lord who is eternal bliss personified. The Supreme Lord is transcendental to the 3 modes of material nature. He is the paramour lover of Radha. All glories to the Lord of the innumerable Vaikuntha planets. All glories to the darling son of Nanda Maharaja. In the kali-age He manifests from the womb of Sacidevi in order to enjoy His transcendental pastimes in this world. The Lord descends to give Himself to everyone without discrimination". 2 God exists The arguments of the Lords birth 1. All six seasons manifested simultaneously at the time of the Lord's appearance. Gauranga's golden baby body was a condensed form of luscious nectar. Gaura's face shone with the soothing glow of hundreds of moons. His smile resembled a blossoming lotus flower. His shoulder were as powerful as an elephant's. The soles were marked with: a flag, goad, camara, chariot, lightning bolt, umbrella, swastika, jambu fruit and a triangle surrounded by waterpots. Millions of Cupids fled in shame upon beholding the beauty of His lotus face. His reddish-eyes flooded with joy and love. His bodily effulgence was so intense that one couldn't look at Him. 2 God exists The argument of the knowledge of Sri Nityananda 1. In Srivasa Thakura's courtyard, Lord Caitanya revealed to Nityananda prabhu His 6 armed form which held a bow and arrow, a flute, a staff of renunciation and a waterpot. Sri Caitanya mahaprabhu is Krishna (flute). And Rama (bow and arrow), in another form 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the Mahabhava-prakasa (revealing all His forms) 1. Many of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's confidential associates would gather regularly in Srivasa Thakura's home and worship Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu on a special seat known as the seat of Visnu. On one occasion Mahaprabhu revealed His full divinity: His identity with the various incarnations of Godhead. That He is Krishna and the incarnations are His expansions. Also they were given the vision of Mahaprabhus as the universal form (as in Bhagvad gita chapter 11 Krishna showed how the universe was within Him or an extension of Him. 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists

The argument of the hand and feet marks 1. Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu's hands and feet had the marks of Narayana the Supreme Personality of Godhead such as *flag, implanted to assure His devotees that they will be continually without fear *lotus, marked to assure the devotees that they will worship Him in happiness *discus (cakra) stands there as a sign that the devotees will be protected. *elephant-goad, placed there to signify the Lord's subjugation and control of the devotee's mind *grain of barley signifies that the devotees will gain fame *thunderbolt (vajra) stands for the destruction of mountains of sins 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of inducing lions, tigers, elephants and monkeys to sing God's names in their respective tongues. 1. When Mahaprabhu travelled through the dense forest jungle of Jhada-khanda He made all the animals chant and dance on the holy names of Krishna Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the expansions during the Ratha yatra 1. At the annual Ratha-Yatra car festival of Lord Jagannatha, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu divided the thousands of devotees into seven parties. In each group their chanting was of Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare/ Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare, accompanied with many musical instruments and dancing in ecstasy. Suddenly His devotees saw Lord Caitanya simultaneously appear in the seven different chanting parties, gracefully dancing and chanting through the 7 crowds. 2 God exists The argument of His revelation to king or Maharaja Prataprudra 1. After the annual Rath-Yatra festival for Lord Jagannatha, the king of the area came to meet Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Mahaprabhu was so pleased with him that He displayed some of His divine opulences to the king revealing His identity as God. 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of Mahaprabhu's revelation of Himself as Radha-Krishna 1. After a spiritual discussion with His devotee Ramananda Raya, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu revealed His essential ontological form as a combination of Radha and Krishna. 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the statement of Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya 1. Mahaprabhu debated with Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya the incarnation of Brhaspati, the spiritual teacher of the demigods. Awestruck, the Bhattacarya realized that no earthly creature could possibly articulate such explanations, and that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was indeed God incarnate. The Bhattacarya humbly surrendered Himself. First, Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu revealed His four-armed form as Narayana the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Lord of the spiritual and material world. He then displayed a very confidential six-armed form revealing Krishna's two arms playing on His flute, Ramacandra's two arms with bow and arrow and His own two arms, carrying the staff ot renunciation and the waterpot. Finally, He bestowed upon the Bhattacarya a vision of His original two-armed form as Krishna. 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of astrology proving Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu as God

1. At Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu's birth the astrologer Nilambara Cakravarti was able to detect that the boy would be the maintainer of the universe, that he would be wiser then Brhaspati the spiritual teacher of the demigods, that He was Narayana, the Supreme Personality of Godhead and that He woudl establish faith in God all over the world. 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of awakening the dead 1. One day, when harinama-sankirtana was going in full swing, in another room in Srivasa Thakura's house one of Srivasa's son died. Srivasa consoled his family by saying: "why you are sad. Krishna has simply taken His own devotee to suit His own happiness. He gave up his body while hearing the singing of the Lord's holy names. Therefore he certainly died while absorbed in love for Lord Krishna" Then the kirtana finally stopped. Srivasa Thakura explained the Lord "I didn't inform You dreading the calamity of interrupting Your dancing". The Lord ordered the household members to bring the boy's body out into the courtyard. Mahaprabhu addressed the boy's dead body "Please tell Me, dear boy, what prompted you to leave here so suddenly thus giving up the association of your loving father". The soul miraculously manifested again in the dead body and the boy began to offer prayers to the Lord "My dear Lord, You are the Supreme Absolute Truth, unlimited and without competition. You control everything by Your multifarious potencies. Neglecting Your lotus feet, I have now become completely ruined. As soon as I chose to be independent of Your Lordship, my mind became interested in Maya's allurements. Thus I have given up my inherent spiritual nature, falling down due to the dazzling bewilderment of fruitive gain. I have been captured by illusion within this mundane world. Now as a result I am being forcibly tossed about on the revolving wheel of fruitive actions and reactions. According to this fate, I have been brought into Srivasa's home. But again, according to my predestined fate I must now leave this place and go wherever You send Me. However I know that all these material relationships do not possess even one speck of eternal truth, for only You are the eternal friend, relative, father, mother and guardian of all souls. Oh Lord, if it is Your desire that I take another birth I humbly request Your Lordship to kindly allow me to be always situated in the transcendental loving service of You". Then the Lord took the dead body in a parade of song and dance to the bank of the Ganges. Mahaprabhu personally put the boy's body into the river. The Ganges personified picked up the body brought it out of the water and touched Mahaprabhu's lotus feet trembling in ecstatic love for the Lord. 2 God exists The argument of curing material and spiritual diseases 1. A demon, Gopala Capala, placed meat and wine outside Srivasa Thakura's door. As a result, Gopala Capala contracted a severe case of leprosy. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu told him that it could only be cured by the forgiveness of Srivasa Thakura himself. In due course he was not only cured but joined the sankirtana movement of Mahaprabhu, chanting and dancing with the holy name of Krishna 'Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare/ Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare'. 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The proof of the spiritual vision of king Suvarna Sena in Satya yuga 1. In a dream Suvarna Sena Maharaja, a king in Navadvipa saw Gauranga and Gadadhara with their associates dancing in the courtyard of his palace. Surrounding the golden form of Gaura, they were all chanting - Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare - while dancing and embracing one another. Before that Narada Muni happened to come there, and spoke: "Fortunate will be the coming of kali-yuga, for Krishna will bring His associates here and manifest His pastimes as Gauranga". 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu seeing God, Krishna and another's of God's forms, Jaggannatha 1. Travelling to Jaggannatha Puri, Lord Caitanya saw in the distance the beautiful temple of Lord Jaggannatha shining brightly like the moonlight. Lord Gauranga saw an attractive boy standing on top of the temple. Moving His fingers up and down, that boy was calling the Lord forward. His complexion was brighter then a blue sapphire, enchanting the three

worlds. He had a smiling face and an incomparably gorgeous body made of nectar. He was holding a flute in His left hand. Coming closer to the Jaggannatha temple Lord Jaggannatha (the Lord of the universe) extended His long arms and appeared before Lord Caitanya. He called "Come, Come to Me". Lord Caitanya became stunned to see the Lord and rolled on the ground saying "Oh Lord Jaggannatha, You are so merciful to show Yourself to Me". Lord Gauranga cried loudly when Lord Jaggannatha suddenly disappeared. Then Nilacala-Candra, Lord Jaggannatha reappeared and Lord Caitanya burst into joy. 2. God exists. The argument of the vision of the greatest priest and scholar of India, Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya. 1. Before entering the temple of Lord Jaggannatha, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu came to the house of Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya, the head priest of the Jaggannatha temple. Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya was astounded to see the splendid beauty of Gauranga. The Lord's body was molten gold glowing like a million moons. The sandelwood pulp tilaka on His forehead was dazzling, His red cloth resembled the rising sun. He had all the auspicious signs of a great personality. Sarvabhauma wondered "I have never seen such an indescribably, unusually beautiful person. There is no demigod to compare with Him. It seems the Lord of the spiritual world (Vaikuntha) must be standing before me". 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu showing his Narayana form to the goddess of fortune 1. Mahaprabhu preached to His wife, Visnu-priya before taking the renounced order of life "Listen, O most dear one. Everything you see in this creation is temporary, illusory and always changing. God and His servants are the only everlasting truths. Sons, husbands, mother, gather, mand and woman are all false temporary designations. Except Krishna, no one can be called our dear and near one. Krishna is the Supreme Enjoyer, Krishna is the actual husband of everyone. Everything esle is Krishna's enjoyable energy". Suddenly , Gauranga showed His fourarmed Narayana form to His wife. 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God, God exists The argument of the divine voice proclaiming Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Krishna 1. Just when Kesava Bharati was going to give the sannyasa name, a divine voice from the sky proclaimed "Name Him Krishna Caitanya (Caitanya means consciousness); by the influence of Mahamaya the consciousness of everyone becomes covered. Gauranga revives the consciousness of all the devotees of God by making them understand that He Himself is Krishna. That is why Gauranga is (to be) named Sri Kishna Caitanya" 2 God exists The argument of the spiritual vision of a road toll tax collector 1. A wicked toll collector imprisoned the Lord's travelling party. Since they had no money he snatched their blankets and released them. Lord Caitanya wasn't there at that time; He had gone from door to door to collect alms. Later that night, the Lord appeared in the dream of the chief toll collector. The Lord was lying on the bed of Ananta in the middle of the milk ocean. Laksmi and Sarasvati were massaging His feet. The four Kumara's, Lord Brahma and the other demigods stood at a distance, offering prayers. Then Lord Visnu (Narayana), dressed as a sannyasi, spoke to the chief tax collector "One of your men has put My devotees into distress". Seeing this majestic dream perplexed and frightened the chief toll collector. He awoke abruptly and ran to meet Sri Gaura Narayana (Lord Caitanya). After offering dandavats he said "You are the Lord who performs pastimes in the ocean of milk. In order to deliver the living entities You have appeared in this world and taken sannyasa. You are the moon illuminating the dense darkness of material existence. You are the ultimate goal of all Vedic knowledge". Then Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu put His feet on the head of the chief tax collector. Immediately, that man became infused with ecstatic love of God. He jumped up and danced exuberantly with his arms raised high in the sky. Later he gave the devotees new blankets. Then he paid obeisances to everyone and went home. 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the revelation to Ramananda Raya

1. Lord Caitanya paid a visit to Ramananda Raya, a governor-king. Ramananda Raya was worshipping His deity so the gatekeeper informed Lord Caitanya that he couldn't inform the king of the Lord's arrival. Smiling within, the Lord ignored the gatekeeper and walked into the palace to personally meet the king. While the king meditated on His Krishna Deity, within his mind he saw the form Gaurancandra, Lord Caitanya instead. So he chanted the maha-mantra and started meditating again. Again he saw Gauracandra instead of Krishna. With firm determination the king started meditating again. Yet again, Gauracandra appeared within his heart. Suddenly, opening his eyes, he saw Gaurancandra, the best among the sannyasis, standing right before him. The king stood up and respectfully worshipped Lord Caitanya. Next, the Lord manifested His golden form in or instead of the white Krishna Deity form of the Lord. Giving up His golden form, Gauranga, Lord Caitanya assumed the form of Krishna with a bluish-black complexion, He held a flute and a peacock feather on His head. He was adorned with divine ornaments and a beautiful forest garland. Then in an instant the Lord reappeared as the golden Lord Gauranga, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of Mahaprabhu revealing His majestic Narayana form, the God of all gods 1. Gauranata Raja (the king of dancers) danced and chanted. Then suddenly He remembered Laksmidevi, the goddess of fortune. Gauranga transformed Himself in a 4-handed Visnu form. 2. Mahaprabhu is God, God exists The argument of the divine effulgence and 7 days dancing of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu 1. Lord Gauranga danced in divine love in the house of Candrasekhara Acarya for 7 days and nights non-stop. The brilliant dancing of the Lord and His associates appeared like the rising of millions of moons. Due to the brilliant effulgence no one could look at it. For 7 days Gauranga spread His radiant effulgence in all directions. Day and night were conspicious by their absence. 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists

The argument of Caitanya Mahaprabhu showing Himself as Krishna to His mother 1. Mahaprabhu pacified His mother before His taking sannyasa, the renounced order of life: "Please mother, don't be disturbed over meaningless miseries. Don't pay attention to illusion. Everyone must seperate and die someday. In due course of time Brahma, the vast ocean and the Himalaya's must meet with destruction. In reality, who are you? Who is your son? Why lament over the false designations of yours and mine, who is a woman? Who is one's husband. Krishna is the only real shelter, friend, father, Absolute Lord, Supreme treasure". Suddenly, she saw He had a syama-complexion resembling a fresh rain cloud. He wore bright yellow cloth and held a flute. In His threefold bending form, He stood in Vrindavana surrounded by gopa's, gopi's and cows. 2. Mahaprabhu is God, God exists The argument of the spiritual vision in a dream of Gopala Bhatta Gosvami 1. Gopala Bhatta Gosvami saw Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in His pre-sannyasi days, in a spiritual dream. Gopala Bhatta visualized the entire Navadvipa (Mahaprabhu's town of birth) and actually entered into it as a participant. Mahaprabhu revealed to Gopala Bhatta Gosvami that He was non different from Syamsundara, Vrajendra Nandana, the original two-armed form of Krishna, playing on His flute: He appeared in the two armed Krishna form and then transformed Himself back into His form of Sri Caitanya. Mahaprabhu instructed him: "You will meet two jewel-like persons, Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami. I have given them my teachings. By your disciples, especially these teachings will spread to every town and village. 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the Krishna deity becoming Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu 1. Gopala Bhatta was worshiping a Krishna Deity named Radha Ramanna. Remembering once that he had promised his father that he would worship Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's deity he began to feel a lack of chastity in worshiping his Radha Ramanna Deity. Then the deity manifested His feature as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Gopala Bhatta once again realized Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's identity as Krishna.

2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the demigods visiting Nimai 1. One day the demigods entered Saci's bedroom. They took Nimai from Saci's lap and placed Him on a jeweled throne. After bathing and worshiping Nimai they circumambulated Him and offered obeisances. The sound of gongs, conch-shells and the singing of the holy names filled the room. The demigods all chanted "All glories to the Lord of the universe. All glories to the Supreme maintainer O Visvambhara we fall at Your lotus feet and beg You "please bestow upon us the rare treasure of Vraja-rasa". Sacidevi picked up Nimai and told Him to go to His father's room in order to sleep peacefully. The demigods walked behind Nimai with folded hands. The Lord addressed them "O demigods, hanker for the glorious, love-filled pastimes of Radha-Gopinatha". Then Nimai cried and chanted "Radha! Radha! Govinda! Kalindi! Yamuna! Vrindavana! and danced. Hearing this, the demigods also began wailing and singing along joyfully. 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of Nimai's mother's realization 1. One time Sacimata became enraptured by Nimai's beautiful face which looked more brilliant then millions of suns. His nails glittered like a million moons. Nimai's indescribably beautiful body derided the beauty of millions of Cupids. At this time Sacidevi recalled when many demigods had appeared in her home. Reflecting on Nimai's pastimes, Saci became convinced. Her son was the Supreme eternal and effulgent Lord Narayana, who is transcendental to material existence, the Lord of all the planets. She said, "He is free from all material contamination. He has no material form. He is omniscient, all-pervading and self satisfied. The greatest yogi's meditate to attain His matchless transcendental form. The demigods can't calculate the extent of My fortune. My son is worshipable by everyone. 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the prayers of the demigods when Nimai liberated a puppy dog 1. Nimai and His friends played with a puppy dog. They fondled the dog, rolled in the dirt with it, and laughed and joked. Fuming with anger His mother rebuked her son: "This behaviour doesn't befit a brahmana's son. Go bathe in the Ganges". Dogs and cats are lowly and kept outside the house. That puppy dog attained the greatest fortune by the transcendental touch of Lord Gauranga. The dog gave up his bad habits and became Krishna conscious. One day the dog just started dancing ecstatically while chanting the holy names "Radha-Krishna! Govinda!" exhibiting the bodily symptoms of ecstatic love of God. The dog was crying, his hair stood on end and his entire body was covered with goose bumps. Suddenly, that most fortunate dog gave up his body. At that moment a golden celestial chariot came down from the sky, and carried the dog to Goloka Vrindavana. Topped with many domes, the chariot was lavishly decorated with pearls and dazzling jewels. The sound of bells, gongs, conch-shells and karatalas (cymbals) accompanied the divine singing of Gandharva's and Kinnara's, who were singing the glories of Radha and Krishna. Flags flapped atop the chariot whose brilliance outshone the light of the sun. In his spiritual body, the dog was sitting upon a jeweled throne inside the chariot. His body adorned with divine ornaments looked more beautiful then millions of moons. The former dog was singing the glories of Radha, Krishna and Gauranga. The siddha's fanned him with camaras as he soared back to Goloka. Lord Brahma, Siva, Sanaka and other demigods surrounded the chariot and sang Gauranga's praises "Never before has He bestowed such mercy. All glories to Gaurahari, the resort of the helpless. You are the best of all incarnations. We have never seen such mercy even in the pastimes of Lord Hrsikesa, Krishna. You always overlook one's faults and offenses. In this way, any fortunate living entity who takes shelter of You, Lord Gaura Raya, will attain Goloka". 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the revelation to the king Prataparudra 1. One day when the king Prataparudra was looking at the Lord Jaggannatha Deity, he saw the Lord had become Lord Caitanya, the greatest of the sannyasis. Lord Caitanya was sitting on the sitting place (asana) of Lord Jaggannatha. The pujari (the priest doing the worship) saw Lord Jaggannatha (and not the transformation). The next time the king took darsana (view) of Lord Jaggannatha, he again saw Lord Caitanya instead of Lord

Jaggannatha. The Lord looked effulgent like the golden mountain Sumeru. The king became convinced that Lord Jaggannatha had now incarnated as a sannyasi. The king went to meet Lord Caitanya. Paying obeisances to the Lord, the king was overcome with emotions. Suddenly, Lord Caitanya manifested a wonderful six-armed form to the king. This was one form in which there were the quallities of Lord Rama, Lord Krishna and Lord Caitanya. 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of Nimai's statement 1. One day Nimai's mother went to perform worship of Sasthi, a female deity who protects children. She told Nimai, "I will ask for the boon that You'll be free from all suffering and inauspiciousness. After the offering I will give You some sandesh (milk sweets) and bananas". Nimai said: "Mother, I am experiencing great suffering right this minute. My belly is burning with hunger". Suddenly, as quick as lightning, Nimai snatched the sweets, Sacimata wanted to offer to the goddess Sasthi, and popped them in His mouth and said sternly: "Mother, I know everything and I am all in all the three worlds. I am one without a second for no one is equal to Me. Just as water poured on the root satisfies the whole tree similarly, simply by worshiping Me alone, one's whole life becomes complete and perfect". 2. Nimai is God. God exists. The argument of Jagannatha Misra's dream 1. One day, Nimai's father, Jagannatha Misra reprimanded Nimai, "Even though You are the son of a brahmana, You don't know how to behave and study. Now I'll teach You a lesson" and threatened to beat Him with a stick. That night Jagannatha Misra had a dream "He saw a well-built brahmana with an effulgence as bright as the sun. Plus the dazzling jewels and ornaments decorating His body made it impossible to look at Him. In a voice thundering like a cloud that brahmana said "why do you think that Nimai is your son. An animal can't understand the potency of a touchstone. I am the Supreme Personality of Godhead. I know all scriptures and I am the guru of the demigods. Why did you take a stick in your hand to beat Me". After this Jagannatha Misra realized for some time "The greatness of my son is beyond the reach of the Veda's. He is beyond the power of Siva, Sanaka and other rsi's. My son Gauranga is such a glorious personality. 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu giving love of God (Himself) 1. Once while sitting in His house, Lord Caitanya spoke in a deep resonant voice, "I am seeing figures having four, five and six faces respectively". Srivasa Pandita spoke "The demigods like Brahma with four faces, and others with five faces (Siva) ans six (Skandha) have come to see You, my Lord. They are begging You for the treasure of prema, since You are the ocean of love". Srivasa and the demigods swooned at the Lord's feet, begging "You are the most compassionate. Please bestow upon us the sweet nectar of Your Love". In a thundrous voice, Gauranga said "May you all receive this gift of love of God". Instantly, the demigods developed Krishna prema, displaying bodily symptoms of transcendental bliss, happily dancing and chanting "O Radha-Govinda, Hari bol! Hari bol! Gaura-Govinda! Gaura-Govinda! Then the demigods rose in the sky, returning to their celestial abodes. After witnessing all this Suklambhara brahmacari said: "Please, O Lord Gauranga, You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead I beg You please give me the treasure of love of God". Mahaprabhu gave it. 2. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of the transforming of Gaura-Gadadhara-Narahari into Their Krishna-Radha-Madhumati gopi forms 1. Lord Gauranga clutched with one hand one of Gadadhara's hand and with His other hand one of Narahari's hand and re-enacted the rasa dance within the courtyard of Srivasa Pandita's house. The assembled devotees saw the Syamasundara Krishna feature in Gauranga's body. Gadadhara manifested the form of Radharani and Narahari became Madhumati gopi. Everyone saw Vrindavana-dhama replete with Gopala Krishna, gopi's and cows appear before them, manifested by the son of Saci. 2. Lord Gauranga is God. God exists. The argument of devotees and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu stating that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God.

1. During one festival of dancing and chanting, Mahaprabhu's devotees glorified Gauranga comparing Him to Radha-Krishna. Gaurahari, Mahaprabhu smiling pleasantly said "I am God. At the very next moment, acting as His devotee's devotee, the Lord paid obeisances and begged blessings from the devotees. Then just after that, the Lord bestowed blessings on all His eternal associates. 2. Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of Mahaprabhu transforming to Lord Ramachandra 1. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said to Murari Gupta (a devotee of Ramachandra) "I am that same Lord Ramachandra". Then He showed His transcendental form as Lord Ramachandra, along with Sita, Laksmana, Hanuman and other associates. Instantly, Murari fell at the Lord's feet and praised Gauranga, "All glories to Ramachandra. He is the same as the darling of Sacimata". Mahaprabhu said "Murari, you should worship Me, although I am Your worshipable Lord Rama, still you should worship the Lord of Radha or Lord Krishna" 2. Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the revelation to Murari Gupta and other devotees 1. Once Mahaprabhu embraced Murari, pleased by him. Murari recited a verse from Srimad Bhagvatam (Sudama vipra speaking to Sri Krishna) "I am a poor brahmana and Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, full in 6 opulences. Nonetheless, He has embraced me with His two arms". After listening to this, Gauranga manifested Himself as the Supreme Lord, shining like millions of suns. He sat on an asana and said in a sweet voice "I am the all-blissful Lord - don't think otherwise" 2. Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of the revelation to a brahmana and his son 1. One day the brahmana Vanamali and his son arrived at the home of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. In ecstasy, Vanamali said to himself: "Visvambhara is none other then God Himself. By seeing Him, I have attained perfection. My sufferings have vanished simply by seeing Lord Gauranga". The next day Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Gaura-nataraja (the king of dancers) danced exuberantly in the midst of the sankirtana party, chanting and dancing on the Hare Krishna maha mantra: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare....Vanamali and his son became enchanted by a most extraordinary sight. Gauranga appeared as a beautiful young boy with a body the color of a monsoon cloud. The Lord was wearing bright yellow cloth, held a flute and had a peacock feather in his hair. All Gauranga's followers took forms as cowherd boys of Vraja. Vanamali also saw Radharani and Syamasundara, Krishna in the pleasure groves of Vrindavana. He saw the Giriraja-Govardhana mountain, the Yamuna river, the different forests of Vrindavana. They saw the cows, gopa's, gopi's, Gopala (Krishna) and the desire trees. 2. Mahaprabhu and His associates are Krishna and His associates. 3. Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu becoming Lord Balarama 1. One day a voice rumbling from the clouds commanded "give me honey!" At that moment, Gauranga took the form of Balarama. He wore shimmering blue clothes over His body, which appeared like a white mountain. He had wide beautiful lotus eyes. Everyone became amazed and thrilled to see the transcendental form of Lord Balarama. 2. Only God can become one of His other forms and transform to another form again. 3. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the revelation to Lord Brahma 1 At the end of Dvapara-yuga, Brahma undertook austerities at Antardvipa with a desire to achieve Gauranga's mercy. Brahma had tried to deceive Govinda by stealing the cowherd boys and calves, but when he saw he was defeated by his own tricks, he became miserable and regretted his offense. He entreated Krishna with many prayers, and Krishna forgave him. But later, Brahma considered, `Thinking that I am the creator of the universe is useless. Simply because of this fault I have been deprived of Krishna-prema and enjoyment of the rasas of Vrndavana. If I could have taken birth as a cowherd boy, I could have easily served the master of the gopis.

Although I was not able to achieve the nectar of those pastimes, now, when Gauranga appears, I will not fall prey to my wicked mind!' Thinking like this, Brahma began meditating and performing austerities in Antardvipa. After many days, Gauracandra mercifully came and said, `O Brahma, I am satisfied with your austerities. I have come to fulfill your desire.' When Brahma opened his eyes, he saw Gauranga and fell to the earth unconscious. The Lord put His foot on Brahma's head, and Brahma was enlightened with transcendental knowledge and began to pray.`I am a low and worthless wretch, controlled by pride. Forgetting Your lotus feet, I have turned to material sense gratification. I myself, Lord Siva, and the demigods headed by Indra are Your subjugated servants. This is written in scripture. But we are not so fortunate as Your pure servants, and thus maya covers us with the net of illusion. The first one hundred trillion years of my life have passed and I have been forced to realize this at last. How will I spend the second one hundred trillion years of my life? If I remain in illusion, I will simply suffer. My only prayer is that I may become Your associate when You manifest Your pastimes. Having given up the illusion that I am the creator, I want to take birth in Your association and sing Your glories.' Hearing Brahma's prayers, Lord Gauranga benedicted him saying, `So be it. When My pastimes become visible on earth, you will take birth in a yavana's house. Your name will be Haridasa Thakura, and you will be famous for your humility and completely free from all pride. You will chant three hundred thousand names a day, and when you pass from this world you will be seeing Me. And at the end of the second one hundred trillion years of your life, you will attain Navadvipa-dhama and be absorbed in eternal rasa. Brahma, hear these secret (antara) words, but do not reveal this openly in the scriptures. Taking the role of a devotee, I will taste the nectar of bhakti-rasa and propagate the most rare process of sankirtana. I will make the devotees of all the previous avataras drunk with the nectar of Vrndavana. The love that Sri Radhika possesses is beyond My experience, so I will appear with Her sentiments and complexion. Taking the position of Radha, I will taste that happiness that only Radha obtains in serving Me. From today, act as My disciple and, in the form of Haridasa, always serve Me.' Saying this, Gauranga became invisible, and Brahma fell to the ground unconscious. 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of the words of Lord Siva and Parvati 1 One time during Satya-yuga, Lord Siva began madly dancing, while chanting the name of Gauranga. Parvati asked him, `Please tell me who is Gauranga. By seeing your astonishing dance and hearing the name of Gauranga, my heart is melting. All that I have heard in the way of mantra and tantra till now only leads to more entanglement for the living entities. Dear husband, please tell me something of this Gauranga. By worshiping Him will I receive actual life?' Hearing Parvati's words, Siva meditated on Gauranga and said, `Unto you, who are the primordial energy, one portion of Sri Radha, I will tell the crest-jewel of all truths. Accepting the spiritual emotions of Sri Radha, Krishna will descend in this Kali-yuga at Mayapur in the womb of Saci. Lord Gauranga, intoxicated with pastimes of kirtana, will distribute the jewel of prema to everyone without discrimination. Whoever does not drown in that flood of prema is most unfortunate. O Devi, just by remembering the Lord's promise that He will come, I pass my life drowning in love of God. Being unable to control myself, I have given up my own city of Kasi. Within Mayapur, on the bank of the Ganges, I will live in a hut and worship Gauranga.' Hearing Siva's words, beautiful Parvati quickly went to Simantadvipa. As she constantly meditated on the form of Gauranga and chanted His name, she became immersed in prema. After some time, Gauracandra appeared with His associates to bestow mercy on Parvati. His complexion was like molten gold. He had long arms, wavy hair, and beautiful limbs. He was wearing a long dhoti folded thrice, and from His neck swung a garland of flowers, which was very attractive to behold. In a voice choked with love, Gaura Raya said, `O Parvati, why have you come here?' Parvati fell at the lotus feet of the master of the universe and with an agitated mind explained her sorrow: `O Prabhu Jagannatha, life of the universe, though You are merciful to all, You have deceived me. O deliverer of the fallen, You have appointed me to bind up all the living entities in the material world who are averse to You. I have come into the material world to do this work, and have thus been cheated of Your unlimited prema. People say that wherever Krishna is there is no Maya. I am therefore forced to always remain outside Your spiritual realm, in the material world. So how will I ever see Your pastimes? If You do not offer a way, I am without hope.' Saying this, Parvati put Gauranga's foot dust on her simanta (part in the hair) in great distress. From that, the name of Simantadvipa came. Ignorant people call the place Simuliya. Gauracandra was pleased, and He said to Parvati, `O supreme goddess, listen carefully to My words. You are My

energy, you are not separate or different from Me. My one energy has two forms. Within the spiritual kingdom, My original energy has one form as Sri Radha, but for carrying out activities in the material world She has expanded Herself as you. Without you, My lila could not be accomplished, for in the form of Yogamaya, you are necessary in My pastimes. In Vraja, you are eternally present as Paurnamasi, and in Navadvipa you are present as Praudha Maya along with Ksetrapala Siva, guardian of the dhama.' Saying this, Gauranga disappeared, and Parvati became overwhelmed with love. Parvati stays in one form as the goddess of Simantadvipa, and in another form as Praudha Maya in Mayapur." 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of the revelation to Srila Jiva Govsvami 1 "O Lord Gauranga, will I ever be able to see Your golden jewel-like figure here?" Jiva repeatedly called out. At that time, Gauranga's kirtana party became visible before his eyes. Nectar was defeated by the beautiful form of Gauranga, who then began dancing. Then Nityananda Prabhu, along with Advaita and all the other devotees, began to sing Gauranga's glories. The sound of mrdangas and karatalas joined in as that sweet display of sankirtana manifested. 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists.

The argument of the revelation to lord Indra

1 When Indra was overcome by Krishna's illusory energy, he proudly flooded Gokula with rain. The Lord, however, carefully protected Gokula by lifting Govardhana mountain. Thus Indra's pride was crushed, and he understood Krishna's identity. He therefore fell down at Krishna's lotus feet to mitigate his offense. The son of Nanda mercifully forgave Indra and pacified him. Still, Indra remained fearful, so he approached Surabhi and said, `I cannot understand Krishna's pastimes, and for that reason I committed a great offense. I have heard that in Kali-yuga Vrajendra-suta will perform wonderful pastimes in Nadia. But I fear that I will again fall into illusion and commit offense. As you are Surabhi, a desire cow, you know everything. Kindly tell me what I should do now.' Surabhi answered, `Let us go to Navadvipa-dhama and worship Nimai.' They came here and worshiped Lord Gauranga. Since the worship of Gauranga is easy, the results are easy to attain. By chanting Gauranga's name, tears of love filled their eyes and they quickly attained Gauranga's darsana. How extraordinary was His charming form! Gauranga was gently smiling and His voice was choked with love, for He was a reservoir of nectar. The Lord said, `I know your wish. I will soon appear in Nadia town. At that time you will serve Me, and the net of maya will no longer catch you.' The Lord vanished, and Surabhi remained here beside a banyan tree, constantly serving Gauranga's lotus feet. Therefore this place is called Godruma [go-cow; druma-tree]. At this place the devotees' desires are fulfilled. One who builds a cottage and worships here will easily become absorbed in Sri Caitanya's lotus feet. 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of the revelation to Markandeya Muni 1 Markandeya, the son of Mrkanda, once lived on the Godruma island during the flood of devastation. The muni was awarded a lifetime of seven kalpas. Seeing the great danger during the devastation as everything became inundated with water, he began looking for a place to stay. Tossed in the waves, he went here and there. `Oh why did I take such a benediction?' he lamented. The dhama of Navadvipa remains however, giving shelter to the devotees. Submerged in a wave, the muni became unconscious and sank. But merciful Surabhi happened to see him and carefully lifted him out. When the son of Mrkanda regained consciousness, he saw the island of Godruma an astounding place extending for a billion krosas. He saw beautiful streams and rivers, beautiful trees and vines, and birds that sang the glories of Gauranga. He saw a banyan tree extending over an area of eight miles, and under the tree he saw Surabhi. The muni was extremely distressed due to hunger, so he begged Surabhi, `O goddess, please protect my life! Kindly rescue me by giving me your milk.'

Surabhi then mercifully gave her milk to the muni. The muni thus regained his strength and said to Surabhi, `O goddess, my mother, you pervade the universe by your mystic potency. Without understanding the consequences I took a boon to live for seven kalpas. But at the time of devastation, I suffered greatly from various miseries. There was no happiness at all. What am I to do, mother? Please tell me how to get free from this misery.' Surabhi then instructed the muni: `Worship the two lotus feet of Gauranga. This Navadvipa is beyond material nature and therefore never destroyed. By material vision this place is sixteen krosas, but it is the supreme Vaikuntha and therefore without fault or illusion. Place and time here have nothing to do with material existence, nor is anyone here affected by material illusion. Just see the unprecedented wonders of Navadvipa, which is surrounded on all sides by the chaste Viraja River. Each part measures a billion krosas, and in the center is Mayapur, a vast city. The eight islands are like petals of a lotus with Antardvipa as the central stamen. All the tirthas, devas, and rsis reside here, worshiping Gauranga. For your own good, dear Markandeya, take shelter of Gauranga's feet. Take shelter of unmotivated dharma, by keeping far away from the desire for bhukti and mukti.' `By taking shelter in the worship of Gauranga, you will attain the sweet fruit of love of God. When that prema sits in your heart, it will drown you in the nectar of the artful pastimes of the Lord. You will get the shelter of Radha's lotus feet in Vraja, and your mind will be fixed in the service of the divine couple. The happiness of this service is unmatched, while in the non-differentiated Brahman there is only illusory knowledge.' The muni, hearing the words of Surabhi, folded his hands and said, `If I worship Gauranga, what will be my destiny?' Surabhi answered with the essence of siddhanta, `In worshiping Gauranga, there is no consideration. When you call out the name of Gaura, your sinful reactions are destroyed and you are freed from all distress as your material life is vanquished. Besides sinful reactions, even the fruits of mental speculation, which are only trouble, will be cut out at the root. Therefore, you should stay on this island and submerge yourself in gauranga-rasa while worshiping the Lord.' Hearing this, Markandeya became filled with bliss. As he chanted the name of Gaura, he sometimes laughed and sometimes cried. Look at this remarkable place where Markandeya received life. 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of the revelation to the sapta rsis 1 The seven rsis stayed in Madhyadvipa a long time and engaged in worshiping Gauranga. In Satya-yuga, the rsis began singing the glories of Gaura in their father's presence. Completely absorbed, they begged for the eternal treasure of gaura-prema. Lord Brahma was pleased with his seven sons and told them, `Go to Navadvipa and sing the glories of Gaura, then you will easily attain prema. Whoever gets the mercy of the dhama, gets the association of devotees. Then, by worshiping in the association of devotees, you will become absorbed in Krishna-prema. That is the supreme activity. Whoever gets attraction for Navadvipa will receive the benediction of living in Vraja. To live in the spiritual dhama and recite the name of Gaura is the only aspiration of the devotees.' The seven rsis took their father's instructions to heart and came to this place. When they arrived, they engaged in dancing and chanting the name of Hari. They begged for gaura-prema while singing the Lord's glories in a loud voice, `O Gaurahari, be merciful and reveal Yourself to us just once! Being offenders, we have followed many paths, but now we are taking to the path of devotional service.' The rsis underwent austerities and became firmly situated in devotional service by worshiping Gauranga. They completely gave up eating and sleeping and simply recited the name of Gaura. Around noon (madhyahna), the all-merciful Lord Gauranga appeared before the rsis. The Lord was as brilliant as a hundred suns, and He attracted the minds of the yogis. He appeared with the Pancatattva. How extraordinary was that form! His form had a beautiful golden hue. Around His neck was a garland of flowers, and His glittering ornaments illuminated all directions. His glance was beautiful, His hair was long and curled, and a dot of sandalwood decorated His forehead. He wore threefolded cloth, a shining thread, and His neck was decorated with a beautiful jasmine garland. Seeing this form, the rsis were enchanted and they humbly petitioned, `We surrender to Your lotus feet. Please give us devotion.' Hearing the rsis' prayer, Gaurahari replied, `Listen rsis. Give up all desires, the chains of jnana and karma, and just discuss topics of Krishna. Within a short time I will unfold My lila in Navadvipa. Then you will see My pastimes of nama-sankirtana. But now, keep this subject a secret. Worship Krishna at Kumarahatta at the ghata made by you.' When Lord Gauranga disappeared, the seven rsis went to Kumarahatta. At this place now you see seven tilas, or hillocks. These seven hills are arranged in the same pattern as the seven rsis in the sky (the constellation). By living here one will receive Gaurahari without having to undergo a strict process of rules and regulations.

2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of the words of the sages of Naimisaranya 1 At the beginning of Kali-yuga, the rsis headed by Saunaka heard about Gauranga from the mouth of Suta. Whoever reads the Puranas here during the month of Kartika becomes free from all distress, becomes absorbed in the pastimes of Gauranga, and easily attains Vrndavana. Giving up his bull carrier, Siva once mounted Sri Hansavahana, Brahma's swan, and came here to hear the recitation of the Puranas. Along with his followers, he sang the glories of Gaura. While singing and dancing, the followers surrounded Siva, and shouting the name of Gaurahari, threw heaps of flowers all around." 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of the revelation to Samudra sena 1 Samudra Sena, a king and great devotee, held Krishna as all in all. When Bhima came here with his soldiers to conquer all opponents, he surrounded Samudragada. The king knew that Krishna was the only resort of the Pandavas and that when they were in danger, He would come to their rescue. He thought that if he could get Bhima to show some fear and cry out, then Krishna would appear, being merciful to His devotees. `He will be kind and come to this servant's country, and I will easily see the blackish form of Krishna with my own eyes.' Thinking like this, he gathered together his soldiers, elephants, horses, and foot soldiers and went to battle. He began firing his arrows while remembering Krishna. Bhima was very oppressed by the shower of arrows, and in great danger he called for Krishna within his mind, `O Lord, protect Your Bhima! Give me shelter at Your lotus feet. I cannot fight with Samudra Sena. If he were to defeat me, that would be humiliating. O merciful Krishna! You are the Lord of the Pandavas, so if I am defeated it will be very shameful news.' Hearing the plaintive call of Bhima, Krishna appeared on the battlefield. No one could see that form except the King. The complexion of His youthful form was like the color of a new cloud. Around His neck hung a garland, and on His head a crown sparkled. His wonderful form was covered with yellow garments, and His limbs were decorated with beautiful ornaments. Seeing that form, the king fainted in ecstasy. After controlling himself, he revealed his desire to the Lord, `O Krishna, You are the Lord of the universe, the deliverer of the fallen. Seeing me so fallen, You have appeared here. Everyone sings the glories of Your pastimes, and hearing that, I desired to see them. But my vow was that You should appear in Navadvipa. Now that I see Your enchanting form here, I will never leave Navadvipa. You have mercifully upheld my vow by appearing in the form of Krishna in Navadvipa. But my desire goes even further. Please become Gauranga before my very eyes!' As he looked on, the king beheld the sweet pastimes of Radha and Krishna. In the forest of Kumuda, Krishna and His friends performed their afternoon activities of going to herd the cows. Then in an instant this lila disappeared and he saw Gauranga with His devotees in a huge kirtana. Gauranga was dancing and singing. His brilliant golden complexion was most enchanting, His eyes rolled as if due to intoxication, and His mind was agitated with love. When he saw this, the king considered his great fortune and offered prayers at the Lord's lotus feet. In a few moments, however, this all vanished. Deprived, the king began to weep. Bhima had not been able to see this incident and thought that the king had suddenly become afraid of his prowess. And the king, who was completely satisfied, simply begged to pay his tax. Bhima took the levy and went off to other places. 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of the revelation to Jayadeva 1 Jayadeva worshiped Krishna according to the process of raga-marga. Padmavati would bring heaps of campaka flowers, which Jayadeva would offer to Krishna. In great love the poet worshiped Krishna, who then appeared before Jayadeva with a complexion the color of the campaka flower, resplendent with the radiance of molten gold. The shining beauty of a million moons would have been put to shame by His beautiful face. He had curly hair and a garland of flowers around His neck. His arms were long, and His effulgence illumined the room. Seeing that form of Gauranga, Jayadeva fainted with tears streaming from his eyes, while Padmavati also fell to the earth unconscious. The Lord lifted the couple up with His two lotus hands and spoke nectarean words, `Both of you are My exalted devotees, therefore I desired to give you My darsana. Very soon I will take birth in Nadia in the womb of Saci. With all the devotees of all the avataras, I will distribute the gift of prema and Krishna-kirtana. After twenty-four

years, I will take sannyasa and live in Nilacala. There, in the association of the devotees and overcome with prema, I will continuously taste the poems of your Gita-govinda, for it is very dear to Me. You will return to this Navadvipa-dhama after death. 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of the revelation to Lord Nityananda 1 Nityananda became like a madman and exclaimed, "Quickly, bring My horn! The calves have gone far off, and Krishna is fast asleep and won't come. He is acting like a baby. Where are Subala and Dama? All alone I cannot go and herd the cows!" Shouting, "Kanai! Kanai!" Nityananda jumped a few yards. Seeing His state, the devotees immediately supplicated at Nityananda's feet, "O Prabhu Nityananda, Your brother, Gauracandra is no longer here. He has taken sannyasa and gone to Nilacala, leaving us poor beggars." Upon hearing those words, Nityananda became dejected and fell to the ground crying, "You have put us in such sorrow, Kanai, My brother! You have taken sannyasa and left us to go to Nilacala. I will not continue My life. I will jump in the Yamuna River!" Saying this, Sri Nityananda lost consciousness. Sensing Nityananda Prabhu's elevated state of spiritual emotion, they began to chant the holy name. After two hours had passed, Nityananda still did not rise. Finally, when the devotees began chanting the glories of Gauranga, Nitai awoke. "This is the place of Radha-kunda!" He exclaimed. "Here in the afternoon, Gaurahari would perform kirtana with His associates. Look at the brilliance of Syama-kunda, which attracts the minds of everyone in the universe! And look, here and there are the sakhis' groves. In the afternoon, Gauranga would become immersed in singing Krishna's glories and satisfy all by distributing prema. Know that in the three worlds there is no equal to this place, where the devotees worship the Lord. Whoever lives here will get love of God, which will soothe the burning fire of material life." That day the devotees stayed there and drowned in love of God as they called out Gauranga's name. Staying there in Rtudvipa, they passed the whole day and night worshiping the moonlike Lord Caitanya. 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of the words of the upanisads 1 In this forest of Vidyanagara, the Upanisads all worshiped Gauranga for a long time. Unseen by them, Gauranga said, `Your understanding of God as formless (nirakara) has spoiled you all. In the form of sruti you do not recognize Me, but when you appear as My associates on earth, you will see My pastimes with your own eyes. At that time you will sing My glories at the top of your voices.' The srutis became dumbfounded on hearing this. Secretly, they at Vidyanagara waiting for the time of His appearance. Then they saw Him. Blessed is this Kaliyuga, the topmost of yugas, for in this yuga Lord Gauranga appeared. 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of the words of Lord Rama and the revelation to Lord Rama's devotee 1 Modadrumadvipa is Ayodhya and in a previous kalpa, when Rama was banished to the forest, He came to this place with Laksmana and Janaki. He built a hut under a huge banyan tree and lived happily for some time. Seeing the effulgence of Navadvipa, the son of Raghu began to slightly smile. How attractive was that form, green as new grass, with lotus eyes and a graceful bow in hand! Wearing the dress of a brahmacari and His head piled with matted locks, He stole the minds of all living entities. Seeing Rama smiling, Sita, the daughter of Janaka, asked Him the reason. `Listen, Sita, here is one very secret story. When the glorious age of Kali advents, I will display a yellow complexioned form here in Nadia. I will take birth in the womb of Saci in Jagannatha Misra's house. I will give all the fortunate souls who see My childhood pastimes the supreme gift of prema. At that time, I will enjoy My beloved educational pastimes and reveal the glories of the holy name. I will then take sannyasa and go to Puri, and My own mother will weep with My wife in her arms.' Hearing this, Sita asked, `O lotus-eyed one, why will You make Your mother cry? Why will You give up Your wife and take sannyasa? What happiness is there in giving sorrow to Your wife?' Sri Rama replied, `O dear one, you know everything. But you are acting ignorant just to teach the living entities. Listen Sita, My devotees relish prema-bhakti in two ways. In union with Me they enjoy sambhoga, and in separation from Me they enjoy vipralambha. My eternal associates desire sambhoga, but I mercifully give them vipralambha. The devotees know that distress due to separation from Me is actually the topmost bliss. After separation, when union occurs, they feel happiness so much greater than before a million times multiplied. That is the explanation of how there can be happiness in separation. You should accept this mood which is described in

the four Vedas. `She who is known as Aditi in the Vedas is now mother Kausalya and will become mother Saci in Gauranga's pastimes. And you, Sita, will serve Me as Visnupriya. By the desire of the Lord, Rama's friend Guhaka took birth here in a brahmana's family. His name was Sadananda Vipra Bhattacarya. He knew nothing in the three worlds except Rama. He was present in Jagannatha Misra's house when Gauranga was born. At that time all the demigods came to see the child. The exalted Sadananda realized by the demigods' presence that his Lord had taken birth. In great delight he returned home, and, while meditating on his worshipable Lord Ramacandra, he saw Gaurasundara. Lord Gauranga was seated on a throne and surrounded by the demigods, headed by Lord Brahma, who were waving camaras. Then Sadananda saw Ramacandra on the throne, green as grass. On Rama's right was Laksmana, the abode of Ananta. On His left was Sita, and in front was Hanuman. Seeing this, the vipra understood the truth about the Lord. `Blessed am I, blessed indeed! Ramacandra is present before me as Gauracandra!' Later, when the sankirtana movement started, Sadananda took part by dancing and chanting the name of Gaura. 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of the words of Narada Muni 1 Vaikunthapura on Navadvipa is Vaikuntha, the abode of Narayana, situated in the spiritual sky beyond the Viraja River. Maya can never enter this place, where Lord Narayana is served by His energies, Sri, Bhu, and Nila. The effulgence radiating from this spiritual abode is the Brahman. With material vision, people see only the material world. But with his transcendental vision, Narada once saw Narayana manifest as Gaurasundara in this spiritual abode. After seeing this, the best of the munis stayed here for some time. 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of the revelation to Ramanujacarya 1 Ramanujacarya once came to Puri and pleased the Lord with many prayers. Jagannatha appeared before him and said, `Go and see Navadvipa-dhama, for I will soon appear there in the house of Jagannatha Misra. The entire spiritual sky is situated within one corner of Navadvipa, My very dear abode. As My eternal servant and leading devotee, you should see Navadvipa. Let your students, who are absorbed in dasya-rasa, stay here while you go. Any living being who does not see Navadvipa has been born uselessly. Just one portion of Navadvipa contains Ranga-ksetra, Sri Venkata (Tirupati), and Yadava Acala. O son of Kesava, go to Navadvipa and see the form of Gauranga. You have come to the earth to preach bhakti, so let your birth be successful with the mercy of Gaura. From Navadvipa, go to Kurma-sthana and join again with your disciples.' With folded hands, Ramanuja submitted to Jagannatha, `In Your narration You have mentioned Gauracandra, but exactly who He is, I do not know.' The Lord mercifully replied to Ramanuja, `Everyone knows Krishna, the Lord of Goloka. That Krishna, whose vilasa-murti is Narayana, is the Supreme Truth, and He resides in Vrndavana. That Krishna is fully manifest in the form of Gaurahari, and that Vrndavana is fully manifest in the form of Navadvipadhama. I eternally reside as Lord Gauranga in Navadvipa, the topmost abode in the universe. Lord Narayana then led Ramanuja here to Vaikunthapura and mercifully showed Ramanuja His transcendental form served by Sri, Bhu, and Nila. Ramanuja considered himself fortunate to obtain darsana of his worshipable Lord, when suddenly he saw the Lord assume the enchanting form of Gaurasundara, the son of Jagannatha Misra. Ramanuja swooned at the brilliance of the form. 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of the revelation to the Pandavas 1 When the five Pandavas and Draupadi were living incognito during exile, they came to Gauda-desa, Bengal. Aware of the glories of this place, Yudhisthira stayed here for some time. Then one day in a dream, he saw Gauranga, whose extraordinary form illumined all directions. Smiling, Gauranga said, `See My rare form. At your house, I am Krishna, the son of Nanda, and I always stay with you as a friend. This Navadvipa-dhama is the topmost abode, and in Kali-yuga it will manifest and drive away all darkness. As you have all been My servants for a long time, when My pastimes take place, you will again take birth. I will stay with you day and night on the shore of the ocean at Jagannatha Puri in Orissa. 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists.

The argument of the revelation to Madhavacarya 1 Madhva and his disciples also stayed in Navadvipa for some time. Gaurasundara mercifully appeared to him in a dream and while smiling said, `Everyone knows that you are My eternal servant. When I appear in Navadvipa, I will accept your sampradaya. Now, go everywhere and carefully uproot all the false scriptures of the mayavadis. Reveal the glories of worshiping the Deity of the Lord. Later, I will broadcast your pure teachings.' 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of the revelation to sankaracarya 1 When Sankaracarya went out to defeat all opponents, on his way to Navadvipa, he first arrived there. Within his heart, he was the topmost Vaisnava, but externally he played the role of a mayavadi, a servant of Maya. Actually, he was an incarnation of Siva, and by the Lord's order he expertly preached a covered form of Buddhism. While engaged in this way, he came to Nadia. When Sankaracarya came to this place, Gauracandra appeared to him in a dream and mercifully spoke to him in sweet words, `You are My servant. Following My orders, you are preaching effectively the Mayavada doctrine. But as Navadvipa-dhama is very dear to Me, the Mayavada philosophy has no place here. On My behalf, Vrddha Siva and Praudha Maya spread the imaginary impersonal interpretations of scriptures, but only to those people who envy the devotees of the Lord. In this way I cheat them. Since this Navadvipa-dhama is generally a place for My devotees, not for the envious, you should go somewhere else. Do not contaminate the inhabitants of Navadvipa.' Realizing the truth about Navadvipa in his dream and with devotion instilled in his heart, he went elsewhere. 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of the revelation to Nimbarkacarya Nimbaditya had been very attentive in the worship of Siva. Siva spoke to him, `At the edge of this village is a sacred bilva forest. Within that forest, the four Kumaras are sitting in meditation. By their mercy, you will receive transcendental knowledge. They are your gurus. By serving them, you will receive all that is of value.' Saying this, Lord Siva disappeared. Nimbaditya searched and found that place. On an attractive platform in the forest near Siva, he saw the four brothers-Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanatana, and Sanat-kumara-sitting unseen by others. They were young, naked, and noble in character. Nimbarka cried out in excitement, `Hare Krishna! Hare Krishna!' On hearing the holy name, the Kumaras' meditation broke. They opened their eyes and saw before them an ideal Vaisnava. Satisfied by this sight, one after another they embraced Nimbaditya. `Who are you?' they asked. `Why have you come here? We will certainly fulfill your prayers.'Nimbarka offered his obeisances and humbly introduced himself. Sanat-kumara smiled and said, `Knowing that Kali-yuga would be very troublesome, the allmerciful Supreme Lord decided to propagate devotional service. He empowered four men with devotional service and sent them into the world to preach. Ramanuja, Madhva, and Visnusvami are three of these men. You are the fourth of these great devotees. Sri, Laksmi, accepted Ramanuja, Brahma accepted Madhvacarya, Rudra accepted Visnusvami, and we, meeting you today, have the good fortune to teach you. This is our intention. Previously we were engaged in meditating on the Brahman, but by the Lord's mercy that sinful act has gone away. Now that I know the sweet taste of pure devotional service, I have written one book named Sanat-kumara Samhita. You should receive initiation into its teachings.' Seeing his guru's mercy, the wise Nimbarka quickly took his bath in the Ganges and returned. He offered obeisances and humbly said, `O deliverer of the fallen, please deliver this low rascal.' The four brothers gave him the Radha-Krishna mantra and instructed him how to worship Radha and Krishna filled with sentiments of great love, called bhava-marga. Having obtained that mantra, Nimbaditya resided at this sacred place and worshiped according to the injunctions of that samhita. Radha and Krishna bestowed Their mercy by appearing before Nimbarka. Lighting up all directions and gently smiling, They said, `You are very fortunate. You have performed sadhana in Navadvipa, Our dear abode. Here We take on one form, as the son of Sacidevi.' While saying this, They combined in one form as Gauranga. Nimbarka was astounded on seeing that form and exclaimed, `Never have I seen or heard of such a remarkable form anywhere!' Mahaprabhu said, `Please keep this form secret now. Just preach Krishna-bhakti and the pastimes of Radha and Krishna, for I am very happy in those pastimes. When I appear as Gauranga, I will enjoy educational pastimes. At

that time, you will take birth in Kashmir and tour India as a champion scholar out to defeat all opponents. Your name will be Kesava Kasmiri, and you will be celebrated everywhere for your great learning. While wandering on tour, you will come to Mayapur. The learned scholars of Navadvipa will flee when they hear your name, but I will be intoxicated with learning and take pleasure in defeating you. By the mercy of Sarasvati, you will realize My identity, give up your pride, and take shelter of Me. Then I will give you the gift of bhakti and send you out to preach devotional service again. So you can satisfy Me now by preaching the philosophy of dvaitadvaita (monism and dualism), keeping My identity secret. `Later, when I begin the sankirtana movement, I Myself will preach the essence of the four Vaisnava philosophies. 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists

The argument of the revelation to Lord Ananta 1 Siva: "O Parvati, one day the Lord known as Ananta, the king of snakes, went to Svetadvipa where Lord Visnu, the protector of the three worlds, resides. Nagaraja said, `O Narayana, O ocean of mercy! I wish to see the pastimes of Radha and Krishna. I desire to go to Mahavana, the best of dhamas. Please tell Me how I can go there.' Hearing Nagaraja speak, the Lord of Svetadvipa, Madhusudana, slightly smiled and spoke the following sweet words. `O greatly intelligent Nagaraja, after ten million kalpas of performing pious deeds, the living entity becomes a Vaisnava. Thereafter he develops a taste for the pastimes of Radha and Krishna. One cannot attain Radha and Krishna by hearing the glories of Visnu for a billion kalpas. Radha and Krishna can be attained only by association with the gopis. And one cannot attain the association of the gopis except by taking shelter of the lotus feet of Gauranga. Therefore, please, constantly worship Gauranga with full devotion. If You desire the goal of devotion-servitorship to Radha and Krishna in Vrndavana, which is so rare in this worldthen go quickly to Navadvipa and worship Gauranga, the ocean of mercy. At present, Krishna, the dearmost of Radha, is residing there in the form of Gauranga. In order to bestow the mood of the gopis, Krishna, the son of Nanda, has appeared in a two-armed golden form, with hands extending to the knees, and with pleasing eyes and face. In the dress of a devotee, He chants His own auspicious name in a loud voice and sometimes He chants `gopi, gopi, gopi.' Sometimes He will hold a danda and waterpot, and sometimes He will be overcome with the sentiments of mahabhava for bestowing realization to the souls of this world. Ananta went to Navadvipa, performed penances, and worshiped Gauranga for ten thousands years. Being pleased with Ananta, Lord Gauranga appeared before Him. On seeing that form, Ananta fell to the ground offering His respects. "Then, raising Himself, Ananta folded His hands and began to sing the glories of Gauranga, who appeared with a complexion of molten gold. Gauranga's lotus feet were very beautiful, His toenails glowed like ten million moons, His form glowed like a thousand suns, and He was decorated with a forest flower garland and the mark of Srivatsa on His chest. Wearing silk cloth, He was as attractive as ten million Cupids. His arms extending to His knees and a sacred thread draped across His chest. He was smeared with sandalwood pulp and decorated with arm bands and tulasi beads around His neck. He had graceful eyes and beautiful eyebrows and nose. He was slightly smiling, and His ears were decorated with shark earrings. He was peaceful, and His feet are eternally worshiped by the devotees. He is the deliverer of the suffering living entities and the cause of the universes. His form is full of eternity, knowledge, and bliss. With a choked voice, Ananta offered His prayers. Ananta said, `O Lord, You are the origin of everything, the only cause of the universe. You are the independent, merciful, eternal person. As fire gives birth to sparks, You give birth to all living entities who take bodies of demigods and humans. `O omniscient Lord, since Your eternal energy cannot give rise to Me without Your wish, I surrender unto You in Your eternal form. O destroyer of the miseries of material life, O Paramatma! `O best of the godly, today I am more fortunate than the mental speculators, because I have seen Your form, which is transcendental to the material world. O Lord, I offer My respects to You, whose form is full of eternity, knowledge, and bliss, whose complexion is like molten gold, and whose lotus feet are easily attained by the devotees. O merciful Gauranga, I wish to see You once again in the future, in the form which enjoys pastimes in Vrndavana.' The Lord said, O Ananta, as I always reside in Vrndavana with Radhika, so I always reside in Navadvipa combined with Radhika in one form as Gauranga. Just as I never leave Vrndavana, I never leave Navadvipa. I

appear in Vrndavana during every kalpa, and I perform pastimes for the pleasure of the devotees and to purify the world. O Ananta, please describe those same pastimes as they occur in Navadvipa. `O fortunate one, when I appear in person for the benefit of the populace, You will also appear. I do not tolerate separation from You even for a moment. Therefore, in another age I take You as My elder brother in Vrndavana. I will appear in Navadvipa, the great holy place, in the house of a brahmana. Being prayed for by the devas, I will kill the fear generated by the advent of Kali-yuga. At that time, appearing as the large-bodied Nityananda, You will be absorbed in kirtana pastimes and transform the bewildered faithless into My devotees. " Krishna, the Lord of Radha, had merged with Radha's body and began to reside there eternally. Seeing that sat-citananda form-outwardly of a fair complexion but inwardly Krishna Himself-Lalita gave up her beautiful form for the service of Gauranga. She took on a male form to suitably receive the affection of Gauranga. Seeing that Lalita had taken such a form, Visakha and all the other sakhis also suddenly took on male forms. At that time the tumultuous vibration of `Jaya Gaurahari!' filled the four directions. From that time the devotees call this form of Krishna, Gaurahari. As Radha is Gauri (fair) and Krishna is Hari, when They combine in one form, They are called Gaurahari. Previously, in the rasa dance at Vrndavana, lord siva had seen Krishna, the Lord of the rasa dance and attractor of Cupid, appear as Gauranga. That same Lord, Krishna Caitanya, appears in Navadvipa in every kalpa and gives pure devotional service to the living entities. 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists

The argument of the statement of the Urddhvamnaya-samhita 1 In the Urddhvamnaya-samhita, the Lord says, "O Brahma, during the reign of Vaivasvata Manu, I will take a golden form on the bank of the Ganges and, giving out the name of Hari, I will deliver hundreds and thousands of brahmanas, ksatriyas, vaisyas, candalas, and other low class men. I will go to Kancana-grama (Kancana-grama is an old name of Katwa, where Lord Caitanya went to take sannyasa.) and take sannyasa." 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the statement of the Srimad Bhagavatam 1 "In the age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the name of Krishna. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Krishna Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons, and confidential companions."(Bhag. 11.5.32) "We offer our respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of Him, the Lord, upon whom one should always meditate. He destroys insults to His devotees. He removes the distresses of His devotees and satisfies their desires. He, the abode of all holy places and the shelter of all sages, is worshipable by Lord Siva and Lord Brahma. He is the boat of the demigods for crossing the ocean of birth and death." (Bhag. 11.5.33) "We offer our respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of the Lord, upon whom one should always meditate. He left His householder life, leaving aside His eternal consort, whom even the denizens of heaven adore. He went into the forest to deliver the fallen souls, who are put into illusion by material energy." (Bhag. 11.5.34) 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the statement of the Vayu purana 1 In the Vayu Purana the Lord Himself speaks of His appearance, "In Kali-yuga I will appear in populated Navadvipa on the bank of the Ganges as the son of Sacidevi to begin the sankirtana movement. I will appear in a brahmana's house, in the best of the brahmana's family." 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the statement of the Agni Purana 1 In the Agni Purana, the following is said: "Krishna will appear as Gauranga, and will be very peaceful, with a long neck, and surrounded by devatas, or devotees." 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the statement of the Garuda purana

1 In the Garuda Purana it is said: "In Kali-yuga, the devotees will give up all other holy places and reside in either Vrndavana or Navadvipa." Therefore Sri Krishna and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu are the highest of all the Gods. 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Sri Krishna are God. God exists. The argument of the statement of the Skanda purana 1 The Skanda Purana says: "In Kali-yuga, anyone who takes shelter of Mayapur and worships Me will be freed of all sins and attain the highest goal. The glories of whatever tirthas are present throughout Navadvipa increase a million times in Kali-yuga. The glories of all tirthas increase by association with Gauranga just as the value of metal increases by association with a touchstone. Mayapur is none other than the spiritual energy of the Lord, yogamaya, which increases everyone's bliss." 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists. The argument of the statement of the Sri Navadvipa Bhava Taranga 1 The Vedas sing of a transcendental place called Brahmapura or Sri Mayapur (which is revealed to one whose eyes are free from illusion). This topmost abode, where the son of Saci performs His eternal pastimes, is the same as Gokula Mahavana of Vraja. Sri Gokula, the abode of gopis and gopas in Vraja, appears in Navadvipa-dhama as the abode of brahmana families. In the center of Mayapur exists the supremely pure, eternal residence of the brahmana, Jagannatha Misra. Though eyes affected by material illusion will see only a small house, some earth, water, and a few articles, if Maya becomes merciful and lifts her covering, one will see a vast spiritual dwelling. Sri Gauranga is served here by His eternal mother, father, and countless servants, all incessantly mad with love. Laksmipriya and Visnupriya eternally serve the Lord's lotus feet. The Supreme Lord is seen here in His wonderful form as the Panca-tattva. Sri Nityananda, Sri Advaita, Gadadhara, Srivasa, and innumerable devotees all have their places in Mayapur. Everywhere are the houses of the Vaisnavas. O Mayapur, please be merciful to me! 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the statement of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura 1 When will I stand on the bank of the Ganges at Vidyavacaspati's doorway and view the opulences of this place? Then after a few moments, the Lord, king of the sannyasis, will mercifully appear before my eyes on that large residential rooftop. Seeing the golden effulgence of that sannyasi, I will fall to the earth in great eagerness, just as when the gopis saw Krishna dressed as the King of Dvaraka, they cried while remembering His pastimes on the bank of the Yamuna. I long to take the Lord back to Mayapur where, shining in the dress of a young boy with long curly hair and dhoti folded thrice, He performs pastimes with His young friends in Isodyana. Of course this sannyasi is also my Lord, and I am His servant. These different appearances that the Lord assumes are just part of His unlimited pastimes. But still my heart desires to take the Lord back to Srivasa Pandita's temple on the bank of Prthu-kunda! 2 Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the statements of the tantra scriptures 1 In the Visvasara-tantra, Siva says to Parvati, "In the southern part of the Ganges, at attractive Navadvipa, on the Phalguna Purnima, Lord Krishna will be born in the house of Jagannatha Misra in the womb of Saci to destroy the sins of Kali-yuga." In the Brhad-brahma-yamala-tantra it is stated: "All glories to blissful Gauracandra, Narahari, the conqueror of the three worlds. He appears in Kali-yuga at Navadvipa on the bank of the Ganges with a beautiful form and golden complexion. He delivers the sinful from the ocean of sin by giving them the pure name of Hari. In the Kapila-tantra it is said: "In Kali-yuga, the Lord will take birth in a brahmana's house at Mayapur in Jambudvipa. He will perform kirtana along with His associates." In the Brahma-yamala it is said: "Sometimes I personally appear on the surface of the world in the garb of a devotee. Specifically, I appear as the son of Saci in Kali-yuga to start the sankirtana movement."

In the Krishna-yamala it is said: "I shall appear in the holy land of Navadvipa as the son of Sacidevi." 2 Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists The argument of the statements of the teachers 1 The words of Prabodhananda Sarasvati concerning Navadvipa. "I praise the Supreme Lord in the form of Lord Caitanya, who, crossing the limits of Godhead, appeared in the form of a devotee to generously help the living entity relish Krishna. He appeared in the supreme abode Navadvipa-dhama for bestowing on the living entities the sweet nectarean stream of His own pure prema." Srila Vrndavana dasa Thakura says: "With the eternal devotees and eternal Bhaktidevi, in the eternal dhama, I eternally worship the one Absolute Truth, brahma sutram, the essence of Godhead, eternally appearing in the form of Nityananda Prabhu, Advaita Prabhu, and Caitanya Mahaprabhu." Meditation on Navadvipa-dhama, Srila Rupa Gosvami: On the banks of the Ganges are the most excellent flowering trees and creepers, and in her waters are rows of waves. Gentle refreshing breezes blow over her surface, and bees gather amongst clusters of the pink and yellow lotuses. The stairs leading to her waters are inlaid with rare jewels. She is overcome with ecstasy, having been touched by the dust pollen from the Lord's lotus feet. On a beautiful stretch of golden land on the banks of the Ganges, is situated the all-auspicious Navadvipa-dhama, flooded with the Lord's bliss. This place is most enchanting being always served by great devotees and filled with various flowers, fruits, creepers, and trees. Throughout Navadvipa, colorful birds enchant the mind and ear with their songs. Within Navadvipa are the pleasant courtyards of the brahmanas, large groves, and beautiful stages and parks. The great devotees, motivated by pure love, perform great festivals of worship, and effulgent forms of Sri Krishna reside in every house. In Navadvipa is situated Gaurasundara's blissful house. The golden gates and walls shine more brilliant than the sun. Within is the Lord's room; in front of that is a kirtana area; and in their respective places are the kitchen, dining area, bedrooms, upper rooms, and room of the Lord's consort. In this house is a spotless canopy and a temple wonderfully adorned with moonstones. The temple has four doorways with eight doors effulgent with inlaid jewels. There are nine domes topped by jeweled kalasas, or pinnacles, on the golden roof. The temple is decorated throughout with diamonds, moonstones, strings of pearls, and various other jewels which are produced from pure devotion and shine with a golden effulgence. Within the temple are six corners with the syllables of the mantra engraved in gold and jewels. In the central of this yantra is the turtle-shaped Yogapitha standing like the stamen in the center of a lotus flower. On top of this, beneath an umbrella, shines a lotuslike sinhasana with petals as pure white as ether, sunshine, and camphor. The sides and bottom of the sinhasana are made of rubies, the legs are sapphire, and the back, which glitters with huge pearls and exquisite gems, is made of vaidurya gems. It is furnished with soft pillows covered with the finest cloth and a cloth-covered cushion filled with soft cotton. The sinhasana is on a golden platform decorated with eight corners on which the eight syllables of the gaura-mantra are inscribed for meditation on the Supreme Lord. 2 Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is God. God exists

The argument by negative demonstration 1. How Being comes to be or how existence come to exist like: God and His spiritual kingdom and the material world as the prison (see a.n.d 2) 2. Lord Siva answered: Because everything is eternal, the question to the cause is not to be asked. As we saw in the 1 st a.n.d. nothing doesnt exist. The infinite is full. There is no space for new creation. Being only can be. Nonbeing or non-existence cannot be. 3. And this is the only way perfect existence can be. It is impossible to conceive perfect beingin another way. 4. God is. God must be. Non god cannot be. 5. God exists.
