The Amazing Transformation of Mayapur

In the beginning days of the Mayapur project back in the 70's all ISKCON had on this property was one small grass hut. Soon a small temple building, a kitchen, and a residential quarters followed. Now there is an entire city emerging. But the perfection of the Mayapur project will the completion of the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium, scheduled to be completed in 2016. This will be the fulfillment of Srila Prabhupada's order he first gave us back in the 60's that such a temple should be constructed.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Who is the Original Form of God?

Dear Guru,

Pranams.

We are taught that the Lord Vishnu is the origin of all gods and that the ten incarnations arise from Lord Vishnu. I am in dilemma as to who is the origin of whom. We believe that Krishna is one avatar of Lord Vishnu. Kindly enlighten us so that our doubts may be clarified and ignorance removed.

A Servant of God

Answer: Krishna is the Original Vishnu

All forms of God are in the category of Vishnu. Of all the various Vishnus Krishna is revealed in the Vedic wisdom to be the original form of Vishnu. So whether you say that Vishnu is the origin or Krishna is the origin, in either case you are correct. Krishna is not an expansion or avatar of Vishnu. He is the original Vishnu and the origin of unlimited millions of Vishnu forms. The ten incarnations that you mentioned are only a tiny sample of the millions of forms of Vishnu or God.
