"There are no new jiva-souls." Srila Prabhupada - "There is no new soul, new and old are due to this material body, but the soul is NEVER born and NEVER dies, so if there is no birth, so how there can be new soul?'' (Letter to Jagadisa dasa 7/9/1970)

Beware of Wikipedia comments, many contributors are nonsense.

Maha-Visnu does NOT create any jiva-souls as some big sannyasis and gurus foolishly believe.

The jiva-souls have to go to Maha-Visnu to aquire a material bodily vessel so they can enter the material creation.

No jiva-soul originates from Maha-Visnu as some sangas and their gurus wrongly teach.

Srila Prabhupada – Regarding your questions where are the spirit souls coming from?  These spirit souls and all spirit souls are coming from Vaikuntha, but in these material worlds they are taking various grades of bodies according to their material activities. There is no new soul. New and old are due to this material body, but the soul is NEVER born and NEVER dies, so if there is no birth, so how there can be new soul?'' (Letter to Jagadisa dasa 7/9/1970)

Therefore, all jiva-souls are beginningless and endless, they were NEVER created not even by Krsna, they exist always together like the Sun-disc and the sun-rays. Krsna is like the Sun-disc who maintains all the sun-rays (jiva-souls)

As Bhagavad Gita As It Is correct 1983 edition Chapter 2 text 20 reveals-

"For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain." (BG Ch 2 text 20)

Srila Prabhupada - "Because he stays dormantly merged into the Body of Maha-Visnu after the dissolution of the material universes (Brahmandas), he thinks Maha-Visnu is his origin, or when one falls down from Brahma-sayujya (impersonal Brahmajyoti), he also thinks that this impersonal Brahmajyoti may be his origin, but he does not remember that long, long, long before that, he was with Krsna." (letter to Madhudvisa Swami, July 1972 Melb, Australia)

Srila Prabhupada - "In the broader sense, everyone comes from Krsnaloka (Goloka-Vrindavana). When one forgets Krsna, he is conditioned (nitya-baddha), when one remembers Krsna he is liberated (nitya-siddha)." (Letter to Mukunda, June 10, 1969)
