Gauragopala Das ACBSP: All material bodily categories within the 8 million 400, thousand species of life in the material creation already exist within the dreams of Maha-Visnu and always remain His property.

The visiting jiva-souls to the material creation are all coming from the spiritual worlds and must aquire a material body off the owner, Maha-Visnu, that matches their desires to enjoy separate from Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of ALL causes.

The Brahma-Samhita explains this-

“This material world is created by the dreaming of Maha-Visnu. The real, factual platform is the spiritual world, but when the spirit soul wants to imitate the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he is put into this dreamland of material creation." (Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 4 Chapter 29 Text 83)

The temporary material creation is created by Maha-Visnu, an expansion of Krsna.

The material creation is a 1/4 of the Spiritual Sky (Brahmajyoti or Spiritual Sky) as seen in painting below.

However, the vast majority of the Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti (3/4), seen in painting, is made up of the perpetual Vaikuntha Planets, that is the abode of the 4 armed expansion of Krsna, Visnu or Narayana, the Goddess Luxmi and all the inhabitants who have a similar 4 armed spiritual body like Visnus.

And Goloka-Vrindavana, the abode of the 2 armed Krsna, His consort Radharani and all their family and friends in their own individual spiritual bodies, each completely different from all other bodies including Krsnas.

Surrounding the Vaikuntha planets in the Spiritual Sky is this central massive lotus like planet Goloka Vrindavana. Krsna is always the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of ALL causes.

The painting below shows the perpetual Vaikuntha Planets, Goloka-Vrindavana, and the temporary material creation.

And in the bottom right hand cornor in painting, we see the small material temporary creation.

This material creation (1/4 of the Spiritual Sky) is always in a state decay and decline.

The material worlds (massive Brahmanda universes) are created by Krsna's Visnu-tattva expansion, Maha-Visnu, who manifests billions of individual Brahmanda universes from His breathing and from the pores of His skin.

There is also a secondary smaller material universe found deep inside each of the billions of massive Brahmanda universes, also seen in painting below.

Maha-Visnu expands as Garbhodakashayi Visnu into each of the "secondary universes" that are inside each Brahmanda greater universe.

From Garbhodakashayi Visnu, Lord Brahma is born from His navel and then builds or creates the different material planetary systems.

There are 14 Planetary Systems in our 4 billion mile diameter universe inside our Brahmanda; however, each secondary universe within their Brahmanda has a different number of planetary systems in them.

In this way, Garbhodakashayi Visnu has His own secondary universe deep inside the Brahmanda universe.

As explained, Garbhodakashayi Visnu, seen in painting below, is an expansion of Maha-Visnu.

There are billions of Brahmanda universes, each with a secondary universe deep inside them.

This means there are billions of Garbhodakashayi Visnus, Brahmas, and demigods, but there is only one Maha-Visnu in the material creation (1/4 of the Spiritual Sky)

Karanodakshayi Visnu is another name for Maha-Visnu. As explained, all the billions of Brahmanda universes originate from the pores of Maha-Visnu's skin and His breathing.

Deep inside each Brahmanda, Maha Visnu expands further as Garbhodakashayi Visnu, who resides in His own universe, surrounded and encased by the larger Brahmanda universe.

From Garbhodakashayi Visnu, Lord Brahma appears and creates the planetary systems in each universe within their Brahmanda.

All the billions of Brahmanda universes originate from Maha Visnu, all in different sizes based on the number of heads Lord Brahma has.

Some have 4 heads, 10 heads, 100 heads, 1000, heads, 10,000 heads, and even a million heads.

The size of our Brahmanda with its inner secondary universe within it, is 44 quadrillion 444 trillion 444 billion miles in diameter, or twice that figure if measured from the outer edge of the inner secondary material universe inside the Brahmanda.

As said above, all Brahmanda universes and their inner secondary universe are in different sizes.

In other words, deep inside each Brahmanda universe, there is another smaller universe where Maha-Visnu expands as Garbhodakashayi Visnu.

And from Garbhodakashayi Visnu, Lord Brahma appears from a lotus flower growing from His navel, who then creates the many planetary systems in each universe.

Maha-Visnu expands again as a third Visnu known as the Supersoul or Paramatma, who accompanies each marginal living entity (jiva-soul) who chooses to enter the material dreams of Maha-Visnu in His material creation.

He is known as Ksirodakashayi Visnu.

Therefore, NO jiva-souls originate from or are created by Maha-Visnu or Garbhodakashayi Visnu.

We must remember that the jiva-souls (jiva tattva) were NEVER created, nor will they ever will cease to be.

So it is nonsense to believe, as some foolishly claim, that the jiva-souls originate from a clear state of inactive consciousness in the Brahmajyoti or from the dormant impersonal Brahman.

Such an idea is nonsense.

All fallen jiva-souls who enter the material creation, and then after being frustrated with material existence and attempt to end their existence by becoming dormant in the Brahmajyoti, all originally came from their real home in Vaikuntha or Goloka-Vrindavana.

Those who choose to leave the spiritual world must go to Maha-Visnu on their way to the material creation to obtain a suitable material bodily vessel for their existence in the material creation.

The fallen jiva-souls first take shelter within Maha-Visnu’s Body after leaving Vaikuntha or Goloka-Vrindavana, they are then given assistance by Maha-Visnu's glance, who plants the fallen jiva-souls into the material creation within different material bodily vessels based on their desires.

All material bodily vessels are created by the dreaming Maha-Visnu and are provided to all visiting jiva-souls who enter Maha-Visnu's material creation.

Every material bodily combination is already within Maha-Visnu’s dreams, and the jiva-souls are given a material body that matches their desires.

And then desire and karma lead them to future material bodies that number in the billions of different bodies within the 8 million 400 thousand species of life within the material creation.

From Maha-Visnu's point of view, the movement through material past, present, and future all exist simultaneously.

Srila Prabhupada – “This material creation is the spirit soul’s dream. Actually, all existence in the material world is a dream of Maha-Visnu, as the Brahma-Samhita describes-

Srila Prabhupada – “Everything happening within time, which consists of past, present, and future, is merely a dream. This is the secret in understanding in all the Vedic literature.” (Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 4.29.2b)

Srila Prabhupada – “Our contact with matter is just like dream. Actually we are not fallen. Therefore, because we are not fallen, at any moment we can revive our Krsna consciousness, we break the dream.” (Tokyo Japan 1972 lecture on Srimad Bhagavatam)

Srila Prabhupada – “Factually all of material existence is only a dream. Thus, there is no question of past, present, or future. Persons who are addicted to karma-kanda-vicara, which means ‘working for future happiness through fruitive activities’, are also dreaming. Similarly, past happiness and present happiness are merely dreams.” (Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 4.29.2b)**^^
