If you think it fit, kindly speak about those activities of the Lord. Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Personality of Godhead, who is the Paramātmā [Supersoul] in everyone’s heart and the benefactor of […]

Hare Krsna   Below we have two opposite teachings by Srila Prabhupada. The topic is whether he is present or not present in his picture.  Now some will think, how is this possible?
