The supreme abode of the Personality of Godhead, KášášŁáša, is described in the Brahma-saášhitÄ as cintÄmaáši-dhÄma, a place where all desires are fulďŹlled. The supreme abode of Lord KášášŁáša, known as Goloka VášndÄvana, is full of palaces made of touchstone. There are also trees, called âdesire trees,â that supply any type of eatable upon demand, and there are cows, known as surabhi cows, which supply a limitless supply of milk. In this abode, the Lord is served by hundreds of thousands of goddesses of fortune (LakᚣmÄŤs), and He is called Govinda, the primal Lord and the cause of all causes. The Lord is accustomed to blow His ďŹute (veášuáš kvaášantam). His transcendental form is the most attractive in all the worlds â His eyes are like lotus petals, and the color of His body is like the color of clouds. He is so attractive that His beauty excels that of thousands of Cupids. He wears saffron cloth, a garland around His neck and a peacock feather in His hair. In the Bhagavad-gÄŤtÄ Lord KášášŁáša gives only a small hint of His personal abode, Goloka VášndÄvana, which is the supermost planet in the spiritual kingdom. A vivid description is given in the Brahma-saášhitÄ. Vedic literatures (Kaášha Upaniᚣad 1.3.11) state that there is nothing superior to the abode of the Supreme Godhead, and that that abode is the ultimate destination (puruᚣÄn na paraáš kiĂącit sÄ kÄᚣášhÄ paramÄ gatiḼ). When one attains to it, he never returns to the material world. KášášŁášaâs supreme abode and KášášŁáša Himself are nondifferent, being of the same quality. On this earth, VášndÄvana, ninety miles southeast of Delhi, is a replica of that supreme Goloka VášndÄvana located in the spiritual sky. When KášášŁáša descended on this earth, He sported on that particular tract of land known as VášndÄvana, comprising about 168 square miles in the district of MathurÄ, India.
