scendental qualities than His other expansions. They are as follows: 1) He is the performer of wonderful varieties of pastimes (especially His childhood pastimes); 2) He is surrounded by devotees endowed with wonderful love of Godhead (the cowherd girls, or gopīs); 3) He can attract all living entities within the universe by playing on His flute; 4) The wonderful excellence of His beauty cannot be rivaled anywhere in the creation. Therefore, He is addressed as Madana-mohana, "the attractor of Cupid"; Govinda, "He who gives pleasure to the cows"; Gopāla, "the protector of the cows"; Yasodānandana, "the dear son of Mother Yaśodā"; Nandanandana, "the dear son of Nanda Mahārāja"; Gopinatha, "the Lord of the cowherd girls".
The ultimate expression of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is found in His personal abode, Śrī Vṛndāvana, which is located in the central planet Kṛṣṇaloka of the spiritual world. A manifestation of Śrī Vṛndāvana can be found in this planet, which is identical to the original in Kṛṣṇaloka, although specific pastimes of the Lord differentiates them. Even though one may be fortunate enough to be in the very physical place of Vṛndāvana-dhāma, where the Lord performed His earthly pastimes five thousand years ago, if he is spiritually dull it won't be thoroughly manifested to him.
It isa Vedic assertion that Śrī Kṛṣṇa never leaves Vṛndāvana, which is a simple and sweet village setting. Engaged in a peaceful life of tending the cows and calves of His father Nanda Mahārāja, who would ever think that the Supreme Lord of everything would be a beautiful young cowherd boy performing such menial tasks? Exhibiting His magnanimous innocence, Kṛṣṇa displays inconceivable pastimes full of contrast, variety, anxiety, and sweetness, all in a constant and incommensurable increase of transcenden- tal happiness. The devotees in Vṛndāvana are mainly focused on the conjugal loving pastimes of the Lord. Conjugal love for the Lord includes the relationship of adherence, service, friendly confidence, and parental love. Thus, the wholesale expression of the soul's love for Godhead is found in the conjugal relationship, which includes all other relationships and which can only be found in Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
The inhabitants of Vṛndāvana are the perfect setting for the most precious jewel, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who manifests His maximum beauty when with Śrī Rādhā, accompanied by unlimited gopīs, in a loving mellowness. This is considered by ancient sages as the sweetest of the Lord's pastimes, when the soul's supreme eternal pleasure is gifted personally by her main subject of love—Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
