God is the Supreme Person with infinite potencies, eternally surrounded by devoted associates in transcendent opulence.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.9.15 — May 4, 1972, Tokyo 720504SB-TOKYO [16:36 Minutes] SB-02.09.15_720504SB-TOKYO Pradyumna: [leads chanting of verse] [Prabhupāda and devotees respond] dadarśa tatrākhila-sātvatāṁ patiṁ śriyaḥ patiṁ yajña-patiṁ jagat-patim sunanda-nanda-prabalārhaṇādibhiḥ sva-pārṣadāgraiḥ parisevitaṁ vibhum [SB 2.9.15] [break] [02:41] Translation: "Lord Brahmā saw in the Vaikuṇṭha planet the Personality of Godhead, who is the Lord of the entire devotee community, the Lord of the goddess of fortune, the Lord of all sacrifices and the Lord of the universe, and who is served by the foremost servitors like Nanda, Sunanda, Prabala, Arhaṇa, His immediate associates." Prabhupāda: Hm. So here, as Brahmā saw God, His abode, His associates, so anyone can see also. Brahmā is also living being. Just like if Mr.
Nixon can become president, you can also become president. But not that you can become God. You can become president, but you cannot become God. That is not possible. A foolish conclusion is that "If I can become president, then I can become also God." But these associates of God, they are equally...
We have already heard how their bodily features are. They are also of the same color. Hmm? They are also same color.
Bhrājiṣṇubhir parito... bhrājiṣṇubhir yaḥ parito virājate lasad-vimānāvalibhir mahātmanām vidyotamānaḥ pramadottamādyubhiḥ savidyud abhrāvalibhir yathā nabhaḥ [SB 2.9.13] Where is, the color is described? Ah, yes. śyāmāvadātāḥ śata-patra-locanāḥ piśaṅga-vastrāḥ surucaḥ supeśasaḥ sarve catur-bāhava unmiṣan-maṇipraveka-niṣkābharaṇāḥ suvarcasaḥ [SB 2.9.11] There is one śloka where is this description is there about the color? Pradyumna: The devotees? Bhānu: Śyāma... Devotee (1): Text eleven. Śyāmāvadātāḥ. Complexion. Sudāmā: Yes. "The inhabitants of the Vaikuṇṭha planets are described as having a glowing, sky-bluish complexion." Prabhupāda: Yes, śyāmāvadātāḥ, śyāma, śyāma. Śyāmasundara.
Kṛṣṇa is known, therefore, Śyāmasundara. This is the sky color. You can understand. Because the sky has no own color, because the color of Kṛṣṇa is spread as brahma-jyotir, that is being reflected in the sky.
This is the color of God. Śyāmasundara, therefore called. Yaṁ śyāmasundaram acintya-guṇa-svarūpaṁ govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam aham... [Bs. 5.38] So we can see at least the color of the Lord. Here it is said "sky-bluish." How can you deny?
Who can say that "I have not..." If you have seen... Just like the sunshine. Sunshine is whitish. So in the sunshine, you can see the whitish color.
