When Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu took to the  sannyāsa ashram , He immediately desired to go to Vrndavana, the most Holy place in the Spirtual world where spontaneous love for Krishna is forever and increasingly experienced. When Krishna decends to the material realms , He decends along with His eternal abode . He is absolute, and thus Krishna’s abode is non different from Krishna . Where He goes, His abode goes with Him .One should understand that Vrndavana , currently manifested in North India, is also a spiritual realm . One in whom the trancendental sounds of the Srimad Bhagavatam and Krishna’s names have appeared can realise these realms .  Vrndavana is , in that way , a state of a spiritually pure mind .Without purity, the full manifestion of Vrndavana is not realised. However, elements are present, and anyone can realise them .

Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu was setting the perfect example that  everyone should visit Sri Vrndavana Dharma and benefit . Wherever Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu is , or His pure devotee is , is Vrndavana.

Once Lord Siva appeared , at least to his family ,  to disrespect his father in law Daksya . Lord Siva’s wife asked him why he had done so . Lord Siva replied that it had not been deliberately done  and that he had not stood up to show respect to Daksya because,  Lord Siva said , “I am always absorbed in Krishna ,” and in deep trance . This is called Suddha Satva  consciousness , pure trancendental goodness on a super subjective spiritual plane . This consciouseness can be achieved by hearing pure  spiritual sound called Sabdha Brahman vibrated from pure devotees .The Holy names and the Srimad Bhagavatam are such sounds , by contact with such spiritually pure sound, the impure are immediately purified. Even in this world, the sun can dry up and purify the stools of animals. Purification can take place on many levels, and ultimately, the purification of consciousness is needed .

In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna speaks of different ways of acquiring different sorts of knowledge . Either from one’s own limited senses , including the mind and intelligence , which will limited knowledge , or one can accept from others , I.e . Their knowledge and experiences , which can also be limited and limiting . Krishna also speaks of knowledge of the impersonal spiritual light , this  light of Bramhajyoti brings a kind of relief and release from all troubles . Srila Jiva Goswami compares that kind of impersonal liberation to a satisfying deep sleep.

The highest realm of spiritual knowledge Krishna says decends by grace when one practices devotion to God , it is graced by Krishna’s pure representatives who experience pure  Bhakti.  That is Suddha Satva  knowledge. The pure representatives are able to vibrate pure trancendental sound with love .The  consciousness that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Siva had  demonstrated. It can be received from the perfect source , someone who is self realised and has love and knowledge of God , and someone who understands the applications of the Vedas . Such a person has heard pure sound , accepted pure sound, and vibrates pure sound .

We should also note from Krishna’s pure spiritual subjective thinking that the whole material universe has been born . It’s a learning and educational experience .It’s something we wanted that God is facilitating.
