Mountain. Krishna and Arjuna went to meet Maha
              Vishnu.  There  are  many  examples  of  multiple
              incarnations  being  present  at  the  same  time  in
              the pastimes of the Lord. This is explained by Lord
              Caitanya as acintya bhedabheda tattva the absolute
              truth is inconceivable and simultaneous oneness
              and difference.

              Great  sages  have  therefore  glorified  the  Lord  by
              different names. Thus when the original person Lord
              Krishna, the source of all incarnations, is sometimes
              described as an incarnation, there is no discrepancy.

              The  kingdom  of  God,  Vaikuṇṭha,  is  certainly  a
              mystery for a gross  materialist.  But  to  an  ignorant
              man  everything  is  a mystery because  of  a lack of
              knowledge. However,  the kingdom of God or the
              spiritual world is not a myth. For the less informed,
              the material planets in this world of which there are
              millions are another source of wonder and perplexity.
              Material scientists are now attempting to penetrate
              this mystery, and a day may come when the people
              of this earth will be able to travel in outer space and
              see the variegatedness of these millions of planets
              with their own eyes. In every planet there is as much
              material variegatedness as we find in our own planet.
