Hare Krishna, Haribol, Radhe Radhe Dearest Devotees,

I hope you are all doing excellent!

...

So my dad threw me an interesting question yesterday evening:

"Do you think Hanuman can go to Goloka?"

We discussed this and later that same evening he threw me another question 

"What about Arjuna, Draupadi, Bhim?"

What do you Prabhus and Matajis think?

================================================================================

To add some extra thoughts, 

my dad told me that Hanuman cannot go to Goloka and he gave the example Narayana Maharaja gave him (no idea why he was reading Narayana Maharaja, he is a great devotee, but I reminded him that Prabhupada said we should stick to his books, but that's another topic) -- when Hanuman goes to Goloka, he will see Mother Yashoda scolding Krsna, and maybe beating him with a stick (out of motherly affection of course), and Hanuman wouldn't like it. 

I did a bit of research and Radhanath Prabhu also had a similar thought - If Hanuman sees the cowherd boys climbing and playing with Krsna, he won't really like it. Radhanath Prabhu gave the example of if Sridhama defeated Krsna in wrestling, Hanuman would be there with his mace ready to pound Sridhama (lol). 

It's obvious of course that Arjuna, Draupadi, Bhima, Hanuman all would prefer a specific form of God (ie Pandavas + Draupadi = an older Krsna like Dwarkadhish Krsna, Hanuman = Sita Pati, Raghuveer Ramachandra) and thus they would all be perfectly satisfied in that specific Vaikuntha Planet (Dwarka or Ayodhya), but does that really mean that they cannot go to Goloka?

Now that i think about it, it does make sense but I still don't "like" the example Narayan Maharaja or Radhanath Prabhu gave because it feels, personally speaking, that there is much more about Hanumana that we know about... but I kindly would like to read everyone's opinion in this matter :)

Hare Krsna, 

Your Servant,
