In the Bhagavad Gita it is said that the soul is not changeable. However the soul is present in different forms in different spiritual planets then how is it that it is not changeable ? For example Vishaka in Goloka Vrindavana is present simultaneously as Ramananda Raya in Goloka Navadvipa. So in one planet the soul has a female form and at the same time it is also available as a male form in another planet. Therefore here there is clearly change in the form of the soul. If this is the case why is it said that the soul is not changeable ?

It says that when we achieve perfection - prema we will go to two different Spiritual worlds: Sri Navadvip Dham and do eternal Kirtan in the pastimes of Lord Chaitanya and go to Goloka Vrindavan and be in the lilas of Krishna.
So we will have two swarupas.
Also in Spiritual world or even in this world mystics can expand themselves up to 9 forms as Kardama Muni did.
Since spiritual world is full of desire trees if one will desire one day serve to Krishna being a rose flower he will become so. And another day serve Him as His friend; another day as His Flute etc.
Spiritual world - world of desires.
Your servant,
Forgive me Prabhu for my incomplete knowledge, but I thought Srimati Vishaka Devi was an expansion of Srimati Radharani, thus wouldn't she not be bound by the qualities of the soul as mentioned in the Gita.
For example, there are so many associates in Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's leelas that are a combination of great associates of Krsna. For example: Haridasa Thakura Brahma + Prahlada + Mahatpah (son of Richika) - (source: http://gaudiyahistory.com/gaura-lila-and-krishna-lila/#sthash.r7UOt...). But how would three souls combine into one body, if in fact the soul is unchangeable.
My point is that Krsna has his own way of doing things and much of it doesn't really have to fall in line to what the basics state because Krishna himself is above and beyond the basics. I guess one way to phrase it is by saying that Krsna himself is the exception. In the leela where he goes to find the soul of His Guru's son, Krsna travels to Yamaloka and is successful in returning the soul back to the body of His Guru's son. He also brings back His 6 elder brothers that were killed by Kamsa to satisfy His parents.
I understand the nature of your question and the inquisitiveness that follows, but there are some things as Zola Prabhu mentioned, that just require complete faith since we are neither intelligent enough to understand such transcendental pastimes nor are completely purified.
It's not a satisfactory answer so please forgive me Prabhu.
Forever Your Servant,
