In the Varkuntha planetsall the residents are similar in form to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and they all engage in His devotional service without the least desire for sense
gratification. Indeed, everything there is full of the uncontaminated mode of goodness, with no place for passion or ignorance.
In the Vaikuṇṭha planets are many auspiciousforests, where the trees are all desire trees. In all seasons these forests are filled with flowers and fruits, because everything in the Vaikuṇṭha planets is spiritual and personal. The inhabitants of Vaikuṇṭha fly in their airplanes in the company of their wives and consorts, eternally singing of the Lord's auspicious character and activities. While singing the glories of the Lord, their beauty surpasses that of even the blossoming mādhavi flowers, which are fragrant and laden with honey.
When the king of bees hums in a high pitch, singing the glories of the Lord, there is a temporary lull in the noise of the pigeon, the cuckoo, the crane, the cakravaka, the swan, the parrot, the partridge, and the peacock. Such transcendental birds stop their own singing simply to hear the glories of the Lord. The flowering plants like the mandāra, kunda, kurabaka, utpala, campaka, arna, pannāga, nāgakesara, bakula, lily, and parijata are full of transcendental fragrance, yet they all appreciate the austerities performed by tulasi, for tulasi is given special preference by the Lord, who garlands Himself with tulas leaves.
The men of Vaikuṇṭha travel in their airplanes made of lapis lazuli, emerald, and gold. Although crowded by their consorts, who have large hips and beautiful smiling faces, they cannot be stimulated to passion by their consorts' mirth and beautiful charms. The ladies in the Vaikuṇṭha planets are as beautiful as the goddess of fortune herself. Such transcendentally beautiful ladies, their hands playing with lotuses and their leg bangles tinkling, are sometimes seen sweeping the marble walls in order to receive the grace of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
