The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna, and His eternal consort, Srimati Radharani are enjoying transcendental pastimes in the topmost planet of the spiritual world, Sri Goloka Vrindavan. They are beckoning us to rejoin them. (Click on photo to see a larger image.)

     
Our Mission: To help everyone awaken their original Krishna consciousness, which is eternal, full of knowledge and full of bliss. Such a global awakening will, in one stroke, solve all the problems of the world society bringing in a new era of unprecedented peace and prosperity for all. May that day, which the world so desperately needs, come very soon. We request you to participate in this mission by reviving your dormant Krishna consciousness and assisting us in spreading this science all over the world.

Dedicated with love to ISKCON Founder-Acharya: His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, our beloved spiritual master, and to you, our dear readers.

Today's Thought:

Reflections on an Amazing Lecture Tour
uploaded from the Los Angeles, California Airport

We are now concluding our second around-the-world lecture tour for 2011. It was the most wonderful, enlivening transcendental experience. I lectured on the science of Krishna consciousness and chanted Hare Krishna kirtan in the following fifteen countries: the United Kingdom, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Bulgaria, Romania, India, Mauritius, South Africa, Australia, Argentina, Chile, and the USA. To experience first hand how all over the world people are seriously taking up the pathway of Krishna consciousness and to be allowed the privilege of being able to encourage them in this, is the greatest blessing I could ever imagine. I pray to be eternally engaged in serving the devotees like this.

Now we are taking a couple of months off the road until after Gaura Purnima when we embark on our Spring 2012 around-the-world lecture tour. My thanks to all the devotees who helped and facilitated us all over the world in so many ways with accommodations, prasadam, transportation and many, many speaking opportunities. And my special thanks to my devoted wife, Her Grace Srimati Vishnupriya devi dasi, who tolerated all the austerities of living on the road to accompany me on this tour and who blessed me constantly with the best Krishna conscious association.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: The Sevenfold Universal Coverings


My beloved master, Hare Krishna!

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

I know that there are sevenfold coverings covering the material universe. My question is that does each and every material universe have these sevenfold coverings, or are these coverings only after the last material universe? Although my prime interest is to go beyond these coverings and enter the inexplicably amazing spiritual sky, but just for knowledge I would like to know this.

Your student
 


Answer: Each Universe Has the Seven Coverings


Each universe has its own coverings. Srila Prabhupada describes this in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam 6.16.37:

"The first covering is earth, the second is water, the third is fire, the fourth is air, the fifth is sky, the sixth is the total material energy, and the seventh is the false ego. Beginning with the covering of earth, each covering is ten times greater than the previous one. Thus we can only imagine how great each universe is, and there are many millions of universes."
