Thought Of The Day

Prabhupada: (sings) Govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami **. (devotees repeat) So we are worshiping Govindam, the reservoir of all pleasures, Govinda, Krsna. And He is adi-purusam, the original person. So govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami **. Bhajami means "I worship," "I surrender unto Him and I agree to love Him." These are the terms offered by hymns by Brahma. That Brahma-samhita is a, considerably a large book. The first verse in the Fifth Chapter it is said that the Lord, Govinda, He has got His particular planet, which is known as Goloka Vrndavana. It is beyond this material sky. This material sky you can see as far as your vision go, but beyond that material sky there is spiritual sky. This material sky is covered by material energy, mahat-tattva, and there are seven layers of covering of earth, water, fire, air. And beyond that covering there is an ocean, and beyond that ocean the spiritual sky begins. And in that spiritual sky, the highest planet is called Goloka Vrndavana. These things are described in the Vedic literature, in the Bhagavad-gita also. Bhagavad-gita is very well known book.
