Lord's Ordinary Children by Gitasri Pani

Twenty-seven divya-yugas of his age have now passed. The present Manu, who is the seventh, is called Vaivasvata.

There are fourteen manvantaras in one day of Brahma. Seventy-one divya-yugas constitute one manvantara. These four together comprise one divya-yuga. We know that there are four ages, namely Satya, Treta, Dvapara and Kali. Once in a day of Brahma (or once every 4.3 billion years), He descends to this world to manifest His transcendental pastimes. He eternally enjoys transcendental pastimes in His eternal abode, Goloka, which includes Vraja-dhama.

Lord Krishna, the son of the King of Vraja, is the Supreme Lord. In the age of Kali that Golden Lord is seen accompanied by His expansions associates and intimate devotees performing sankirtana. That He is blackish within means that internally He is Krishna that He is golden without means that He has accepted the mood of Srimati Radharani. In this age of Kali, He displays His expansions while performing congregational chanting of the holy name of Krishna. I take shelter of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who is outwardly of a golden complexion, but is inwardly Krishna Himself. Kalau sankirtanadyai sma krsna-caitanyam asritah 11.5.32)Īntah krsnam bahir gauram darsitangadi-vaibhavam Those with intelligence worship Him with the sankirtana yajna. He descends along with His weapons, limbs, energies, and eternal confidential associates. In the age of Kali, Krishna appears in a golden form, chanting the two syllables krs-na. Yajnaih sankirtana prayair yajanti hi sumedhasah Krsna-varnam tvisakrsnam sangopangastra parsadam He is the Absolute Truth, and no other truth is greater than or equal to Him. He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself, full with six opulences. What the Upanisads describe as the impersonal Brahman is but the effulgence of His body, and the Lord known as the Supersoul is but His localized plenary portion. Na caitanyat krsnaj jagati para-tattvam param iha Sat-aisvaryaih purno ya iha bhagavan sa svayam ayam

Ya atmantar-yami purusa iti so ’syamsa-vibhavah Yad advaitam brahmopanisadi tad apy asya tanu-bha Resplendent with the radiance of molten gold, He has appeared in the age of Kali by His causeless mercy to bestow what no incarnation has ever offered before: the most sublime and radiant spiritual knowledge of the mellow taste of His service. May the Lord who is known as the son of Srimati Saci-devi be transcendentally situated in the innermost chambers of your heart.
