The Universal Form
Chapter 11: Verse-54

As stated in the Brahma-samhitä 5.48

yasyaika-nisvasita-kälam athävalambya jivanti loma-vila-jä jagad-anda-näthäh
Visnur mahän sa iha yasya kalä-viseso govindam ädi-purusam tam aham bhajämi

PURPORT

“The Mahä-Visnu, into whom all the innumerable universes enter and from whom they come forth again simply by His breathing process, is a plenary expansion of Krsna. Therefore I worship Govinda, Krsna, the cause of all causes.” Therefore one should conclusively worship the personal form ofkrsnaas the Supreme Personality of Godhead who has eternal bliss and knowledge. He is the source of all forms of Visnu, He is the source of all forms of incarnation, and He is the original Supreme Personality, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita. In the Vedic literature[1] the following statement appears:

sac-cid-änanda-rüpäya krsnäyäklista-kärine
namo vedänta-vedyäya gurave buddhi-säksine

“I offer my respectful obeisances unto Krsna, who has a transcendental form of bliss, eternity and knowledge. I offer my respect to Him, because understanding Him means understanding the Vedas and He is therefore the supreme spiritual master.” Then it is said, krsno vai paramam daivatam: “Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”[2] Eko vasi sarva-gah krsna idyah: “That one krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and He is worshipable.” Eko ’pi san bahudhä yo ’vabhäti: “Krsna is one, but He is manifested in unlimited forms and expanded incarnations.”[3]
