<div class="text">
Kṛṣṇa, although He's all-powerful, He lives at Vṛndāvana in the gardenlike city. Not city; a tract of land. A small city is there now; they have named Vṛndāvana. But Vṛndāvana is not that small city. It is a tract of land about eighty-four miles.

So it is full of garden and full of nice places. Anywhere you go, you will find something wonder to see. There are many trees of fruits and flowers, many varieties of birds, and the cranes on the Yamunā side. Every . . . each and every place is remembering Kṛṣṇa. If you go there you'll find that "Kṛṣṇa is . . . somewhere He was playing. I must find out." It is such nice place. So Vṛndāvana is the most confidential part of Kṛṣṇa's abode.

<div class="quote_verse">
:tāra tale paravyoma-'viṣṇuloka'-nāma
:nārāyaṇādi ananta svarūpera dhāma 
:([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 21.46|CC Madhya 21.46]])
</div>

So in the spiritual world, that Vṛndāvana planet is the highest planet, and below that planet there are innumerable Vaikuṇṭha planets, which are called Viṣṇuloka.

<div class="quote_verse">
:tāra tale paravyoma-'viṣṇuloka'-nāma
:nārāyaṇādi ananta svarūpera dhāma 
:([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 21.46|CC Madhya 21.46]])
</div>

And the presiding Deity, predominating Deity in those planets, is called Nārāyaṇa. Nārāyaṇa is also expansion of Kṛṣṇa. Generally, Nārāyaṇa is accepted as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but from authentic scripture we understand that Nārāyaṇa is expansion of Kṛṣṇa.

<div class="quote_verse">
:'madhyama-āvāsa' kṛṣṇera-ṣaḍ-aiśvarya-bhāṇḍāra
:ananta svarūpe yāhāṅ karena vihāra 
:([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 21.47|CC Madhya 21.47]])
</div>

Although Kṛṣṇa is two-handed and, I mean to say, busy with His flute-playing, but we do not know—many do not know—that He is . . . has expanded as Nārāyaṇa and Viṣṇu. He is the predominating Deity all over the spiritual world.

<div class="quote_verse">
:ananta vaikuṇṭha yāhāṅ bhāṇḍāra-koṭhari
:pāriṣada-gaṇe ṣaḍ-aiśvarye āche bhari' 
:([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 21.48|CC Madhya 21.48]])
</div>

And each and every planet there are innumerable devotees. He's surrounded by the innumerable devotees. And He's citing evidencial verse from Brahma-saṁhitā:

<div class="quote_verse">
:goloka-nāmni nija-dhāmni tale ca tasya
:devī-maheśa-hari-dhāmasu teṣu teṣu
:te te prabhāva-nicayā vihitāś ca yena
:govindam adi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi 
:(Bs. 5.43)
</div>

His own personal planet is Goloka Vṛndāvana, and below that planet there are many other, innumerable planets, which are known as Vaikuṇṭha. And below that spiritual world there is material world. And between material world and spiritual world there is another space, which is called Śivaloka. And below that Śivaloka is this Devī-dhāma.

This material is called Devī-dhāma. Durgā. The presiding deity of this Devī-dhāma is Durgā. He's giving evidences from many authentic Vedic literature. One of them is Brahma-saṁhitā. Then He's giving another evidence from Padma Purāṇa, the existence of spiritual planets.
