Unlimited Nectar in Krishna's Name
We learn the science of Krishna consciousness from the great self-realized spiritual masters who are qualified to see Krishna face to face. One of the most amazing teachings in all of the Vedic literature has been very wonderfully given to us by Srila Rupa
Goswami, the foremost teacher of the science of bhakti. He has blessed us with the following verse in the Vidagdha-mādhava (1.15), a seven-act play that he has written describing the pastimes of Sri Krishna in Vrindavan:
tuṇḍe tāṇḍavinī ratiṁ vitanute tuṇḍāvalī-labdhaye
karṇa-kroḍa-kaḍambinī ghaṭayate karṇārbudebhyaḥ spṛhām
cetaḥ-prāṅgaṇa-saṅginī vijayate sarvendriyāṇāṁ kṛtiṁ
no jāne janitā kiyadbhir amṛtaiḥ kṛṣṇeti varṇa-dvayī
TRANSLATION
“I do not know how much nectar the two syllables ‘Krish-na’ have produced. When the holy name of Krishna is chanted, it appears to dance within the mouth. We then desire many, many mouths. When that name enters the holes of the ears, we desire many millions of ears. And when the holy name dances in the courtyard of the heart, it conquers the activities of the mind, and therefore all the senses become inert.”
We are now inviting the whole to taste this unlimitedly sweet nectar. If and when they do so all of the world's problems will be solved. This place will become like a paradise.

My Dear Radha Ramana,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
The spiritual world is a world of full freedom. Those who want to serve Krishna in His original form go to Goloka Vrindavan. And those who
prefer to serve Krishna in one of His unlimited expanded forms go to that particular planet where Krishna in that particular form is the
predominating deity. And if someone anywhere the spiritual world wants to switch his attachment to a different form, he can do that and he will be facilitated by being relocated to that planet where his preferred form of Krishna is the predominating deity.
I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.
Your ever well-wisher,

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom
Question: Why Different Planets in Spiritual World?
I have a doubt. In some of your lectures, you had told that the spiritual world has many Vaikuntha planets and the topmost planet is Goloka Vrindavana. So is it that the residents of Vaikuntha planets are not allowed to enter or stay in Goloka Vrindavana? Are they less privileged devotees? Why so? In fact I suppose there should be only one planet in the spiritual world so that Krishna sees all the residents equally. Or is it that residents of Vaikuntha planets do not worship Krishna?Kindly clarify my doubts.

Radha Ramana
