These informations are there in authorized Vedic literature. We can understand what is Kṛṣṇa, what is God, what He is doing, what is His name, what is His father's name—everything we can give—in full detail. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Everyone knows a flimsy idea there is God, but we can give actually who is that God, what is His name, what is His address, what is His father's name, what is His mother's name—everything. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Parasya brāhmaṇaḥśaktiḥ tathaiva akhilam jagat, very nicely mentioned. Just like the heat, the same example: the sun globe is a heating substance, very high temperature. It is fixed up in a place, eka-sthāne. You can see—everyone can see—on the vast sky, and the sun is lying in one corner of it. Eka-sthāne sthitasyāgner. Agni, the fire. The sun is situated in one place, but he is creating all this material existence by his heat and light. Similarly, the Supreme Lord is situated in His transcendental position, eka-sthāne, in one place, but He is expanding His heat and light and different energies, and by exchange of different energies the whole cosmic manifestation is before us. Parasya brāhmaṇaḥśaktiḥ. Parasya. Whatever we see, that is the manifestation of Kṛṣṇa's energy. That's all. Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa's energy is not different, but at the same time, energy is not Kṛṣṇa. Just like sunshine and the sun, there is no difference. Both of them are light and heat. But still, the sunshine is not the sun. When sunshine enters into your room, it does not mean that sun has entered in. Sun is many millions of miles away, but still by his energy he has entered your room. Similarly, Kṛṣṇa is far, far away,

goloka eva nivasaty akhilātma-bhūto
govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ
(Bs 5.37)

He is always enjoying in Goloka Vṛndāvana, dancing and enjoying,

cintāmaṇi-prakara-sadmasu kalpa-vṛkṣa-
lakṣāvṛteṣu surabhīr abhipālayantam
(Bs 5.29)

So these informations are there in authorized Vedic literature. We can understand what is Kṛṣṇa, what is God, what He is doing, what is His name, what is His father's name—everything we can give—in full detail. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Everyone knows a flimsy idea there is God, but we can give actually who is that God, what is His name, what is His address, what is His father's name, what is His mother's name—everything. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

So the Māyāvada philosopher, they do not believe in this. That is called māyā. But it is fact: if one is fortunate enough, then he can understand this Kṛṣṇa consciousness philosophy by the grace of Kṛṣṇa and guru.
