"The Supreme Personality of Godhead first manifests His supra-mundane realm in the mundane world, and then He Himself makes His divine descent therein. But just as the ignorant fallen souls deluded by the forces of maya attribute mortal form and qualities to the Supreme Lord Govinda, who is in reality the absolute embodiment of truth, consciousness, and bliss, so also the Lord's dhama (place of pastimes) is misconceived by fallen souls to be a mundane place subject to the laws of material nature; --while in reality it is the eternal realm of the Supreme Autocratic Lord." - Baladev Vidybhusana
