And in each Brahmanda universe is a smaller inner "secondary universe" where Garbhodakashayi Visnu, Brahma and many planetary systems reside.
Kāraṇodakaśāyī Viṣṇu or Maha-Visnu is the first of the Purushas (controllers)
All the Visnu/Narayana expansions of Krsna including Maha-Visnu, Garbhodakashayi Visnu and Kshirodakashayi Visnu (Paramatma) are expansions of Balarama, the first of Krsna's expansions or incarnations.
For the creation of the material creation there are three Visnu expansions.
1 - Maha-Visnu (Kāraṇodakaśāyī Viṣṇu)
2 - Garbhodakashayi Visnu (Hiraņyagarbha)
3 - Kshirodakashayi Visnu (Paramatma)
Maha-Visnu (Kāraṇodakaśāyī Viṣṇu) creates innumerable massive universes known as Brahmandas.
He lies down in the Causal Ocean on the bed of Ananta Sesha (a snake looking expansion of also Lord Balarama) and initiates the creation by glancing at His personified material energy, Maya.
From Maha-Visnu (Kāraṇodakaśāyī Viṣṇu) comes the other two Visnus, Garbhodakashayi Visnu (Hiraņyagarbha) and Kshirodakashayi Visnu (Paramatma)Maha-Visnu
Maha-Visnu creates the innumerable "Brahmanda universes" or universal shells in various sizes.
Our Brahmanda universe is small compared to others and is said to be 44 quadrillion 444 trillion 444 billion miles in diameter, or double that size if measured from the outer edge of the inner "secondary material universe" inside it.
Garbhodakashayi Visnu enters into each "secondary universe" that is deep inside of each Brahmanda universe.
From His naval a lotus stem grows and a lotus flower appears at its end where Lord Brahma resides.
Our Lord Brahma has 4 heads making our inner universe very small at only 4 billion miles in diameter.
Other Lord Brahmas in other universes inside their Brahmanda have 10 or 100 or 1000, 10,000, 1000,000 or more heads!
This means the Brahmanda universe encasing our inner material universe is very small compared to other Brahmanda universes.
Ksirodakashayi Visnu (Paramatma) accompanies all jiva-souls who enter the material creation and sits with each jiva-soul in the heart area of the material bodily vessel as Supersoul and also enters into every atom in the material creation.
Wherever their is Ksirodakashayi Visnu, who is also known as Paramatma or Super Soul, there is the jiva-tattva or individual jiva-soul.
The difference between "anti-matter" (made up of active spiritual living entities) and the dead "lifeless" matter in the material creation-
1 - Anti-matter is the active eternal individual living entities.
2 - Matter is where the jiva-souls are dormant (inactive) covered by dead matter, but exist even within the atoms of that dead matter with Visnu.
The Personality of Visnu (Paramatma) is in the atom and the individual jiva-soul is always in the company of Visnu who is simultaneously the all-pervading Supersoul behind all things.
"Anti-matter" is "life divided into individual units" (Both Visnu-tattva and Jiva-tattva or jiva-souls) who are living spiritual energy", while matter is inactive spiritual energy (almost dead)
With dead matter like stone, the consciousness of the jiva-souls in the atom of that stone are completely dormant, which means they are almost dead (totally inactive) hence dead matter.
The only difference between matter, where the jiva-souls are dormant and inactive, just like they are in the impersonal Brahmajyoti, and anti-matter (active life), is the jiva-souls are fully active and aware of their full spiritual potential in their natural environment.
"Anti-matter" is the perpetual reality found in the spiritual worlds of Vaikuṇṭha and Goloka Vrindavana.
Also everything spiritual (anti-matter) is based on personalism made up of a variety of living entities (from different Visnu-tattva expansions to Siva-tattva to jiva-tattva (jiva-souls)
The impersonal Brahmajyoti is also where anti-matter (as jiva-souls) are hovering in a dormant inactive condition and therefore in an almost lifeless existence because on inactivity.
1/4 of the Spiritual Sky is matter.
3/4 of the Spiritual Sky is anti-matter or Spiritual activity.
Dead matter (the material atom) is dormant spiritual energy (life) of jiva-souls, and Visnu is also present in the material atom because He accompanies each and every jiva-soul in the material creation.
The natural full potential of the jiva-soul is to be fully active in the service of Krsna, such a reality is made of anti-matter Prabhupada explains in his Book "Easy Journey to Other Planets."
Revatīnandana - "Srila Prabhupāda you very clearly explained to me once in a letter that if the jiva-soul then goes into the brahmajyoti, he is considered still fallen. Still fallen. Does that means the whole brahmajyoti is composed of fallen souls? You see my question? If I go there, I'm a jīva-soul, and I go to the brahmajyoti I'm still fallen."
Srila Prabhupāda - "Yes."
Revatīnandana - "That means all jīva-souls there are also fallen souls?"
Srila Prabhupāda - "Yes, existence in the impersonal brahman is also within the category of non-Krsna consciousness. Those who are in the brahman effulgence are also in the fallen condition, so there is no question of falling down from a fallen condition. When fall takes place, it means falling down from the non-fallen condition (Goloka-Vrindavana and Vaikuntha). The non-fallen condition is Krsna consciousness." (Letter to Revatinandana, LA 13 June, 1970 and 1971 London)
The jiva-soul's original position is in Goloka-Vrindavana from where they originated from and have the sa bodily features as Krsna-
sat,
cit,
ananda,
vigraha.
Which means-
eternity,
knowledge,
bliss,
form.
The jiva-souls ARE a perpetual spiritual bodily form just like Krsna's spiritual body.
The full potential and original feature of all marginal living entities (jiva-souls) is a two-arm form like Krsna's Body.
Devotee – "Is the original body of the spirit soul a human form?"
Srila Prabhupada – "Yes, human form. God is also human form. "Man is made after the shape of God." I think there is in the Bible. Is it not? So God is also like human form. Here you see Krsna, two hands, two legs."
Hari-sauri – "How do we understand, then, that there are peacocks and flowers and trees in the spiritual world? Are these not eternal forms?"
Srila Prabhupada – "[describing material form first]: Yes, they are more covered. Just like if you cover your body with blanket, the hands and legs are invisible. But you are not the blanket.
So the trees and plants, they are more covered. They are not in full manifestation. The human form is the full manifestation of the soul."
Hari-sauri - "They are covered in the spiritual world?"
Srila Prabhupada - "Not in the spiritual world. There that is voluntary, some devotees want to serve Krsna as flower; they become flower there. If I want to be a flower I shall lie down at the lotus feet of Krsna, he becomes flower, voluntarily, and he can change his, from flower to human body. That is spiritual life. There is no restriction.
If some devotee wants to serve Krsna as cow, he serves Krsna as cow, as calf, as flower, as plant, as water, as ground, field, or as father, as mother, as friend, as beloved, anything. It is inconceivable, yet a fact." (SB Canto 6 Ch 1 text 1-4, Melb, May 20, 1975)**.
