SRILA BHAKTIVINODA THAKUR

Excerpted from the Third Chapter of Dasa Mula Tattva

In the Caitanya Caritamrita, there is the following authoritative statement (amnaya vakya) concerning Krishna:

mukhya gauna vritti kimva anvaya vyatireke
vedera pratijna kevala kahaye krishnake

The Vedas sometimes speak directly of Krishna, using the primary import of words, and sometimes speak indirectly of Krishna, using the secondary import of words. Sometimes they speak of Krishna with affirmative, logical statements and sometimes by negative or contrary expression.

C.C.Madhya 10,146

svayam bhagavan krishna, krishna sarvasraya
parama isvara krishna sarva sastre kaya

The Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna is the original primeval Lord, the source of all other expansions. All the revealed scriptures accept Sri Krishna as the Supreme Lord.
C.C.Adi, 106

advaya jnana tattva vastu krishnera svarupa
brahma atma, bhagavan, tin tanra rupa

Lord Krishna Himself is the one undivided Absolute Truth, the ultimate reality. He manifests Himself in three features-as Brahman, Paramatma and Bhagavan.
C.C.Adi.2. 65

veda bhagavata upanishad agama
purna tattva yanre, kahe, nahi yanra sama
bhakti yoge bhakta paya yanra darasana
surya tena savigraha dekhe deva gana
jnana yoga marge tanre bhaje yei saba
brahma atma rupe tanre kare anubhava

The Personality of Godhead is He who is described as the Absolute Whole in the Vedas, Bhagavatam, Upanishads and other transcendental literatures. No one is equal to Him. Through their service, devotees see that Personality of Godhead, just as the denizens of heaven see the personality of the sun. Those who walk the paths of knowledge and yoga worship only Him, for it is Him they perceive as the impersonal Brahman and localized Paramatma.
C.C.Adi2.24-26

The Svetasvatara Upanishad says:

eko devo bhagavan varenyo yoni svabhavan adhitishthaty ekah

Bhagavan is worshipable by all. He is the basis of all entities who take birth.
S.U. 5.4

In the Bhagavatam, bhagavan is identified as Krishna:

ete camsa kalah pumsah krishnas tu bhagavan svayam

All the above mentioned incarnations are either plenary portions or portions of the plenary portions of the Lord, but Lord Sri Krishna is the original Personality of Godhead.

S.B. 1.3.28

In the Bhagavat Gita, Krishna says:

mattah parataram nanyat kincid asti dhananjaya

O conqueror of wealth, there is no Truth superior to Me.
B.G.7.7

vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyah

By all the Vedas am I to be known.
B.G.15.15

In the Gopala Tapani Upanishad it is said:

tasmat krishna eva paro devas tam dhyayet
tam raset tam bhajet tam yajet
eko vasi sarvagah krishna idya
ekopi san bahudha yo vibhati
tam pithastham ye tu bhajanti dhiras
tesham sukham sasvatam netaresham

Therefore Krishna is the supreme Lord. One should meditate on Him, chant His name, worship Him and make offerings to Him. All pervading and controlling all, he is to be worshipped. Though he is one, he appears in many forms such as Kurma, Matsya, Vasudeva and Sankarshana. Those wise persons who worship this form situated on his pitha attain eternal happiness. Others, worshipping Brahman or Paramatma, cannot attain happiness. G.T. Purva Tapani, 21

There is a karika in this regard:

krishnamshah paramatma vai brahma taj jyotir eva ca
paravyomadhipas tasyaisvarya murtir na samsayah

Krishna is the only Lord. Paramatma is his part and Brahman is his light. Narayana in Vaikuntha is a lordly manifestation of Krishna.

There is no doubt about this, since the Vedas and other scriptures clearly show this. Taittiriya Upanishad says:

satyam jnanam anantam brahma yo veda nihitam guhayam parame vyoman so'snute sarvan kaman saha brahmana vipascita

Brahman is eternal, conscious, and infinite. He is situated in the heart as paramatma and in Vaikuntha as Narayana. Whoever knows the vipascit brahman attains auspicious qualities similar to the Lord's.

Taittiriya Upanishad. 2.1

Here, the expression vipascit brahman means Krishna. Srimad Bhagavatam also uses the world "brahman" to indicate Krishna, as in the following words: gudham param brahma manushya lingam yam mitram paramanandam purnam brahma sanatanam Vishnu Purana also uses the word Brahman to mean Krishna:

yatravatirnam krishnakhyam param brahma narakritim

Where the supreme brahman called Krishna appeared in human-like form

Gita says brahmano hi pratishthaham, I am the basis of brahman.

By these authoritative statements and many thousands more, para brahma or vipascit brahman is equated with Krishna. The meaning of vipascit is "wise" (indicating brahman with quality). It ranks important among the sixty-four qualities of Krishna.

Although it is very glorious to bathe anywhere in Shri Yamunä, it is especially glorious to do so in Vraja, and even more so at Visräma ghäta on the day of Yama-dvitéyä. Therefore, every year on this day, thousands of brothers and sisters come here to bathe.

The Yamunä’s Twenty-four Ghäts

In Mathurä, Shri Yamunä flows in a crescent shape, and Visräma ghät is in the centre. On her southern side lie the following twelve ghäts:

(1) Avimukta-tirtha, (2) Guhya-tirtha, (3) Prayäga-tirtha, (4) Kankhala-tirtha, (5) Tinduka-tirtha, (6) Sürya-tirtha, (7) Batasvämi-tirtha, (8) Dhruva-tirtha, (9) Rishii-tirtha, (10) Moksa-tirtha, (11) Koti-tirtha and (12) Bodhi-tirtha.

The following twelve ghäöas lie on her northern side:

(13) Nava-tirtha, (14) Samyamana-tirtha, (15) Dhäräpattana-tirtha, (16) Näga-tirtha, (17) Ghanta-bharnaka tirtha, (18) Brahma-tirtha, (19) Soma-tirtha, (20) Sarasvati-patana tirtha, (21) Cakra-tirtha, (22) Dasäsvamedha-tirtha, (23) Vighnaräja-tirtha and (24) Koti-tirtha.

All the principal sacred places of India, even Prayäga, the king of all sacred places (tirtharäja), worship the Supreme Lord Shri Krishna at the ghäts of Shri Yamunä Mahäräni under her shelter. During Cäturmäsya especially, all the tirthas come here to perform their worship.

Prayaga tirtha

Tirtharäj Prayäg worships the Supreme Lord at Prayäga tirtha. Veni-Mädhava of Prayäga is eternally present at this place. Those who bathe here receive the result of performing all the sacrifices headed by the agnistoma-yajna and attain Vaikuntha dhäma.
