I am so much confused about Lord that there are many queries in my mind out of so many one i need to be clear of
Lord Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and Lord Rama is another expansion of Krishna
Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is also devotee expansion of Krishna or may say Krishna himself. One thing i want to know is that in form of Lord Rama he displays a high character by having only one wife then as Lord Chaitanya he does remarriage on death of his first wife on request of his mother then at age of 24 he takes sanyasa.when once chota haridas saw a woman with bad intention then lord left him later he commits suicide.Question arises that the same Lord as krishina himself when incarnated in he had pastimes with gopis,Radharani and 16108 wives this stunnes my mind i am a lot confused about all this please i am a fool to ask like this but it is beyond my brain.please kindly bless me
haribol

Best to forget all that. It is on the mind platform. The best thing to do is chant 16 rounds a day and follow the 4 regulative principles. Understand you are not that body and that you could die at any time. Do solid sadhana and don't try to figure out all the pastimes of one wife or two wives, whatever. These are transcendental pastimes of the Lord and His consorts. The best we can do is to accept all this as Krsna's pleasure and strive to go back home, back to Godhead in this lifetime where we will participate in these pastimes once we qualify by service to Guru.

Hare Krsna.
It may seem mind boggling the numerous pastimes of the Lord and when he has to wrap up his extensive play one should also give some thought of his quality of renunciation. I think no personality of godhead can compare with Krsna when it comes to supreme renunciation. It is said that he shot out in space like a bolt of lightning after being injured from the arrow of Jara the hunter and that was after witnessing the destruction of his whole family and his favorite city Dwarka. It was because of his quality of active renunciation that his devotees could feel separation from him and ultimately join in him in Godhead. I also feel that this was also exhibited by Srila Prabhupada although in a lesser degree and there may be many who feel separation from him. That is the beauty of ISKCON!
Correction- The pastimes of the Lord are without number but we remember the prominent ones. Lord Caitanya wanted to experience the mood of Radha so it did not behoove him to reign like a king with many wives as in dwapra yuga. He is very merciful for he freely gave the gift of the name to all. That is the highest gift which even krishna hesitated to give. In a way Lord Caitanya is greater than Krishna and yet they are the same and so is Ram.
Another correction - Lord Krishna hesitates to give. If we speak of him in the past tense then we should also speak of him in the present and future tense. Thank you
lord Chaitanya rejecting chota haridas is part of lila to teach us.
Krishna is (sannskrit)charachar patey means husband of everything. pati means pran rakshati iti pati (one who saves/protects ) therefore he marries one, two or thousands or all living entities doesn't make difference.
krishna never exploit anyone he is the most purest, honest and humble person he resides in heart of stoolwarm also as parmatma, because we compare him to human or put him in vedic rules or relate as per our own conditioning.
we may exploit Krishna but Krishna can't exploit, Krishna never exploit any girl e.g. sweetmaker doesn't like much sweets and krishna is sweetmaker and gopis are like sweets. it is the only desire of devotees to make different relations may be as boyfriend , brother , husband and so on
in gross words he is our hero mean entertainer, protector,lover,care taker, best friend,... everything. best person to surrender and serve.he only serves us we take credit.
sincere regards,
nilesh
Thankyou for such lovely explanation.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

hare krishna
please accept my humble obeisances
all glories to srila prabhupada
just remember that krishna is the supreme personality of godhead,that is to say that he is the supreme proprietor,the supreme enjoyer and the supreme friend...16108 is very less gopis that he enjoys with....he can create zillions and zillions of living entities just to enjoy with them and prove that he is the supreme and no one else is there above him...now comes the point of his expansions who come just to teach us innumerous things...example u said that lord chaitanya was very strict when it came to women..u c...it was just because he wanted to teach us that we must avoid opposite sex if we want to advance spiritually...same is the case with lord rama...he also wanted to teach us chastity...
and if lord krsna behaves in the manner his expansions behave,then how will he prove that he is the supreme personality of godhead...for proving it he must perform some superhuman or most dangerous feats then all other expansions...u c....so that is the point i was trying to make...krishna wants us to worship his krishna form that is the chief of all...
the conclusion in short-
krishna is the chief of all expansions.no other incarnations perform such activities that he performs in superficiality... and he wants us to worship this form of his(krishna)...
other incarnations come just to teach us many things...for example chaitanya mahaprabhu came in the form of a devotee of krishna and he just wanted us to show how shall devotional life be executed...
narsimhadeva came to prove his love for devotees and since he came for protection of a single devotee it is our duty to learn that god is the only supreme well wisher of ours...and through study u can analyze other incarnations..the point will be the same...
i hope i am able to clarify your doubts by the mercy of krishna...if not please revert me back without hesitation...
ready to serve you...
hare krishna
srila prabhupada ki jaya
Hare Krishna Prabhu Ji
