Krsna who is known as Govinda is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He has an eternal blissful spiritual body.
He is the origin of all. He has no other origin and He is the prime cause of all causes. (BS. Invocation mantra)

Brahma indicates: Lord Krishna is the cause of all causes, sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam (BS invocation); and, that
Nārāyaṇa is Your plenary portion – Narayana, Brahma’s father, is Krishna’s plenary portion or absolute
expansion (SB 10.14.14).

Brahma sees that kala, the time factor, is accompanied by assistants:
Svabhava, samskara, kama, karma and guna. Svabhava (divine or demoniac nature) is the result of association
with the modes of nature. By good association of devotees one can purify their nature from demoniac to divine.
Samskara means reformation. It happens by good association by which one develops sustained good habits and
undergoes purificatory rites all throughout life. Kama, desires for sense gratification, and karma, regulated
activities in the mode of goodness according to the Vedas, are corrupted by irregulated activities that become
sinful due to associating with people in the modes of passion and ignorance.

Brahma saw the myriad Vishnu forms had eternal, unlimited forms, full of knowledge and bliss. They exist
beyond the influence of time. Only pure devotees can understand them. Scholars and philosophers who study
the Vedic Upanisads, the philosophical parts of the original four Vedas, cannot understand Lord Krishna and His
Vishnu expansions. It is stated in the Upanisads:

nāyam ātmā pravacanena labhyo / na medhasā na bahunā śrutena
yam evaiṣa vṛṇute tena labhyas / tasyaiṣa ātmā vivṛṇute tanuṁ svām

The Supreme Lord is not obtained by expert explanations, by vast intelligence, or even by much hearing. He is
obtained only by one whom He Himself chooses. To such a person, He manifests His own form. (SB 10.13 54 –
purport)

Lord Krishna similarly confirms that He is not approached by academic study and knowledge. He can only be
known by pure devotion:

bhaktyā mām abhijānāti / yāvān yaś cāsmi tattvataḥ
tato māṁ tattvato jñātvā / viśate tad-anantaram

One can understand Me as I am, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, only by devotional service. And when
one is in full consciousness of Me by such devotion, he can enter into the kingdom of God. (Bg 18.55)

Seeing the original form (transcendental body) of Krishna is exclusively reserved for the pure dovetees who have
unalloyed love and devotion for the Lord. The impersonalists (Mayavadis) falsely claim that the spiritual
effulgence called the Brahman or brahmajyoti is the origin of everything. The brahman effulgence emanates
from the body of Lord Krishna. Brahma has confirmed this fact:

yasya prabhā prabhavato jagad-aṇḍa-koṭi-
koṭiṣv aśeṣa-vasudhādi vibhūti-bhinnam
tad brahma niṣkalam anantam aśeṣa-bhūta
govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi
