Text

Certainly, therefore, since time immemorial, all transcendentalists have been rendering devotional service to Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Personality of Godhead, with great delight, because such devotional service is enlivening to the self.

Purport

The speciality of devotional service unto the Personality of Godhead Lord ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa is specifically mentioned herein. Lord ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa is the svayaá¹-rÅ«pa Personality of Godhead, and all other forms of Godhead, beginning from ÅšrÄ« Baladeva, Saá¹…kará¹£aṇa, VÄsudeva, Aniruddha, Pradyumna and NÄrÄyaṇa and extending to the puruá¹£a-avatÄras, guṇa-avatÄras, lÄ«lÄ-avatÄras, yugÄvatÄras and many other thousands of manifestations of the Personality of Godhead, are Lord ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa’s plenary portions and integrated parts. The living entities are separated parts and parcels of the Personality of Godhead. Therefore Lord ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa is the original form of Godhead, and He is the last word in the Transcendence. Thus He is more attractive to the higher transcendentalists who participate in the eternal pastimes of the Lord. In forms of the Personality of Godhead other than ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa and Baladeva, there is no facility for intimate personal contact as in the transcendental pastimes of the Lord at VrajabhÅ«mi. The transcendental pastimes of Lord ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa are not newly accepted, as argued by some less intelligent persons; His pastimes are eternal and are manifested in due course once in a day of BrahmÄjÄ«, as the sun rises on the eastern horizon at the end of every twenty-four hours.
