24) Radharani is the chief among Krsna's gopi lovers;

25) Radha always keeps Sri Krsna under Her control. Krsna submissively obeys Radha’s command.

Srimati Radharani always keeps Her hand on the shoulders of Her friends and always talks and thinks of the pastimes of Krsna. 

Radharani forever offers Krsna a kind of intoxication by Her sweet talks. Sri radha supplies all the demands of Krsna, and Radharani possesses unique and uncommon qualities meant for Krsna’s satisfaction. 

Srimati Radhika is able to fulfill all the desires of Krsna. No one else can do so. Radha is so expert in all affairs that the damsels of Vraja come to learn the arts from her." (TLC Ch 31)

When Krsna wanted to experience loving emotions, affection and exchanges with a women, He knew such love could never happen with just "one", or Him alone, so Krsna divided Himself into two, Radha and Krsna, just so He could experience those loving exchanges.

However, Krsna is ALWAYS complete as Himself and therefore is NEVER alone, this is because Krsna as one, personally manifests as two, as "two different bodies" - Srimati Radharani and Krsna.

Krsna then expands as unlimited Visnu-tattva personalities beginning with Balarāma.

Caitanya Caritamrta - "Just as the fountainhead, Lord Kṛṣṇa, is the cause of all incarnations, so Śrī Rādhā is the cause of all these consorts." (CC Adi 4.76, Translation)

When Radha and Krsna unite in "one" body, that is Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Krsna is always enjoying in Vrindavana with His consort Srimati Radharani, who Krsna created by dividing Himself into two, just so He could experience loving intimate exchanges with a women.

Krsna is never alone because He is "fully complete" as Himself due to always enjoying with His internal potency led by the personification of the internal energy, Srimati Radharani.

Krsna also expands Himself as His Visnu-tattva expansions, who are the unlimited Visnu/Narayana Forms of God who each have their own perpetual Vaikuntha planet that take up 3/4 of the Spiritual Sky.

Krsna also expands as Karanarnavasayi Visnu (Maha-Visnu), Garbhodakashayi Visnu and Ksirodakasayi Visnu (Paramatma) to maintain the material creation.

For material creation, Lord Krsna's plenary expansion assumes three Visnus as said above.

The first is Karanarnavasayi Visnu (Mahā-Viṣṇu) who creates the total material energy known as the mahat-tattva.

The second is Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu who enters deep into all the massive Brahmanda universes and creates an inner secondary smaller material universe.

The third is Kṣīrodakaśāyī Visnu, who is the all-pervading super-soul accompanying each marginal living entity (jiva-soul) within each inner material universe existing deep inside each Brahmanda universal covering. Kṣīrodakaśāyī Visnu is in the heart of every marginal living entity (jiva-soul) and is known as Paramātmā.

He is present even within the atoms. The goal of life is to know Kṛṣṇa, who is situated within the heart of every living being as Paramātmā, the four-handed Viṣṇu form.

In Srimad Bhagavatam explains as follows-

"Kāraṇārṇavaśāyī Viṣṇu (Maha Visnu) is the first incarnation of the Supreme Lord, and He is the master of eternal time, space, cause and effects, mind, the elements, the material ego, the modes of nature, the senses, the universal form of the Lord.

Garbhodhakaśāyī Viṣṇu is an expansion of Mahā-Viṣṇu who expands from Nārāyaṇa/Visnu in Vaikuṇṭha.

Garbhodhakaśāyī Visnu is the form of Pradyumna (who expanded from Balarāma) within the material universe. He is the father of Brahmā who appeared from His navel.

Garbhodakashayi Visnu is also called Hiraņyagarbha.

Each Form has a different role in the maintenance of the temporary material universes, known as Brahmanda universes, billions of them that take up 1/4 of the Spiritual Sky.

Inside each massive Brahmanda universe exists a second universe with Garbhodakashayi Visnu, Lord Brahma, millions of demigods and the planetary systems exist (our universe has 14 planetary systems but is considered small compared to others)

There are also other expansions of Krsna who are NOT Visnu-tattva, like Siva-tattva (Lord Siva), and jiva-tattva, (the individual jiva-souls who are the independent separate "marginal" living entities) However, even being independent from Krsna and express their free-will in the way they choose ultimately depends on Krsna who provides all that their is. 

The "marginal living entities" (individual jiva-souls) always have free will and independence on the Vaikuntha planets and in Goloka Vrindavana, this allows them to "voluntarily" choose for themselves how they want to serve Krsna, or even reject Him if they choose. 

Krsna allows this independence in the spiritual world to allow His individual jiva-souls fully responsible for their own choices and actions.

Marginal potency (the individual jīva-souls) also means the presence of eternal free will in their spiritual constitution. 

There are many varieties of Krsna's living entities in the Spiritual Sky but are only in two basic categories - 

1 - Visnu-tattva (Visnu/Narayana expansions with unlimited names according to pastimes) 

2 - Jiva-tattva (individual jiva-soul expansions)

All these variety of spiritual living entities (anti-matter) manifest in different categories of Krsna's living energies however, they can NEVER be separated from Krsna even though Krsna's marginal potency (the individual jiva-souls) have an independent nature that allows them free will. 

"Marginal" also means the individual jiva-souls are sometimes conditioned in the material world, and sometimes remains in their natural eternal home (unconditioned) in the spiritual world (either in the Vaikuntha planets or Goloka-Vrindavana) 

The variety of living entities in ALL of Krsna's creation, (the spiritual world, material world and dormant (inactive) impersonal brahmajyoti are as follows-

Firstly, ONLY the individual jiva-souls (jiva-tattva) can fall to the impersonal brahmajyoti and NEVER can the Visnu-tattva expansions of Kṛṣṇa fall in anyway because they are direct expansions of Krsna.

The different categories of eternal living entities- 

1 - Viṣṇu-tattva, all expansions of Balarama,  Krsna's first expansion, who further expands into unlimited Visnu/Narayana Forms of God.

2 - Visnu-sakti-tattva, Srimati Radharani and all Her expansions who are no different than Krsna, who collectively make up Krsna's internal spiritual energy in the spiritual worlds.  

3 - Siva-tattva and his various expansions, are neither Visnu-tattva or jiva-tattva, Siva in a unique league of his own and prefers roaming the material world rather than the spiritual world, he attracts many different types of fallen individual jiva-souls to take shelter of him. 

4 - The marginal living entities (jiva-tattva or jiva-souls) who are endowed with the quality of individual personality and therefore free will who can have voluntary loving exchanges of their choice with Krsna. 

The individual jiva-souls can NEVER  become Visnu-tattva who is Krsna's almost equal expansion with 93.75% of Krsna qualities - 60/64, or Siva-tattva, Siva has 85.938% of Krsna's qualities - 55/64 but the individual jiva-souls can become a Brahma who has 78.125% of Krsna's qualities - 50/64

Just like the Sun-disc can never be separated from the sun-rays similarly, Krsna is never separated from all the various grades of living entities mentioned above even though it seems the individual jiva-souls are independent when in actually fact their independence depends ALWAYS on Krsna.

Krsna is never alone due to EVERYTHING being completely situated within Him. Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes. 

The "cause of all causes" is significant here - meaning EVERYTHING is in Krsna and Krsna is in EVERYTHING.

Kṛṣṇa is simultaneously an independent Person from all the variety of different expansions.

This is Krsna's unlimited potential.

He is the Supreme controller, fully satisfied in Himself because everything is in Him and everything is part and parcel of Him. Therefore Krsna can NEVER be alone.

This should be properly understood so one can know why Krsna can never be alone.  

Krsna is the Supreme Lord as His own individual bodily (vigraha) Form, yet simultaneously all living entities depend on Krsna and His energies for their existence just like the sun-rays depend on the presence of Sun-disc to exist.

Srila Prabhupada - "It is said: vṛndāvanaṁ parityajya padam ekaṁ na gacchati.

In one sense, Kṛṣṇa, the original Personality of Godhead (īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ sac cid ānanda vigrahaḥ [Bs. 5.1]), does not even take one step away from Vṛndāvana. However, in order to take care of various duties, Kṛṣṇa had to leave Vṛndāvana. He had to go to Mathurā to kill Kaṁsa, and then He was taken by His father to Dvārakā, where He was busy with state affairs and disturbances created by demons. 

Kṛṣṇa was away from Vṛndāvana, and He was not at all happy, as He plainly disclosed to Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. She is the dearmost life and soul of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and He expressed His mind to Her as follows." (CC Madhya 13.149, Translation and Purport)

Srila Prabhupada - "Distinguishing between pure devotees and internal or confidential devotees, Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī, in his book Upadeśāmṛta, traces the following gradual process of development. Out of many thousands of karmīs, one is better when he is situated in perfect Vedic knowledge. Out of many such learned scholars and philosophers, one who is actually liberated from material bondage is better, and out of many such persons who are actually liberated, one who is a devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is considered to be the best. Among the many such transcendental lovers of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrīmatī Rādhikā is very dear to Lord Kṛṣṇa, and similarly Her ponds, namely, Śyāma-kuṇḍa and Rādhā-kuṇḍa, are also very dear to the Supreme Personality of Godhead." (CC Adi 7.18-19, Purport).^^^.
