Significado

As described in the First Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam (1.2.11), Lord Krishna is understood in three features -- as impersonal Brahman, localized Paramatma and ultimately the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna, the source of everything. Lord Krishna absorbs the impersonal philosophers into the rays of His body, appears before the perfect yogis as the Lord of the heart, and ultimately brings His pure devotees back to His own abode for an eternal life of bliss and knowledge.
