Percentages of Krishna's 64 qualities - Vishnu-tattva Forms have 60 qualities out of 64 qualities (93.75%) Shiva-tattva has 54 qualities out of Krishna's 64 (84.375%) Jiva-tattva souls have 50 qualities out of Krishna's 64 (78.125%)

Percentages of Krishna's 64 qualities that others have mathematically work out as -

Vishnu-tattva - Forms of the Lord have 60 qualities.

So how much is 60 qualities out of 64 qualities written as a percentage exactly?

Convert fraction (ratio) 60/64

Answer: 93.75%

Shiva-tattva - How much is 54 out of 64 written as a percentage?

Convert fraction (ratio) 54/64

Answer: 84.375%

Jiva-tattva - How much is 50 out of 64 written as a percentage?

Convert fraction (ratio) 50/64

Answer: 78.125%

Lord Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes.

Krishna is the ORIGINAL Form of God from whom ALL His Vishnu and Narayana forms expand from.

This means the only difference between Srimati Radharani and Krishna, and Lord Balarama and Krishna, is Lord Krishna IS the Supreme Personality of Godhead and ORIGINAL cause of all causes, and has an extra 4 qualities MORE than both Radharani and Balarama (His Vishnu-tattva expansions).

Therefore, not even Srimati Radharani or Balarama (Krishna's older brother) have 64 unique qualities like Krishna, they also have only 60 qualities which is 93.75% of Krishna's 64 qualities that is 100%.

Lets make this easy to understanding -

Lord Krishna has 64 qualities which is "exactly" 100% of those unique set qualities.

Vishnu-Tattva has 60 qualities or "exactly" 93.75%

Shiva-Tattva has 54 qualities or "exactly" 84.375%

Jiva-Tattva has 50 qualities or "exactly" 78.125%

The Supreme Personality of Godhead Krishna has all the following sixty four transcendental qualities.

Narayana or Vishnu forms are all expansions of Lord Krishna and are called Vishnu-tattva.

All Vishnu-tattva forms of Krishna have 93.75% of Krishna's 100% qualities.

Krishna has 64 qualities and all Vishnu-tattva expansions, like Balarama, Narayana, Vishnu, Ramachandra etc, have only 60 of those qualities which mathematically work out to be 93.75% of Krishna's qualities.

The jiva-tattva souls, like us, have 50 of Krishna's 64 qualities which mathematically is 78.125% of Krishna's 100% qualities.

And Lord Shiva, in a league of his own, has 54 of Krishna's 64 qualities which mathematically is 84.375% of Krishna's 100 qualities.

And when Krishna comes to the material creation, He comes as His Vishnu-tattva expansions aand plays the part of the original Krishna as seen in painting.

This is because Krishna as His original form, never leaves Goloka Vrindavana.

Krsna gave the individual marginal living entities (jiva-tattva souls) their free will because everything orignates from Krsna. The jiva-souls have always had free will as part of their constitutional make up and like Krsna, the individual jiva-souls are beginningless and endless. No two jiva souls are the same, each are independent individuals with their own unique personality separate from Krsna's Personality.

Krsna gave the individual marginal living entities (jiva-0souls) their free will because everything orignates from Krsna.  

The jiva-souls have always had free will as part of their constitutional make up and like Krsna, the individual jiva-souls are beginningless and endless. 

No two jiva souls are the same, each are independent individuals with their own unique personality separate from Krsna's Personality.

Krsna (God) is not responsible for all the suffering in the material creation that many jiva-souls experience, even though the material worlds are all His creation.

The individual jiva-tattva souls are responsible for their own actions as soon as they first chose to enter the material creation.

This is because of misusing their free will that allows them to act in anyway they desire.

However, the now trapped jiva soul eventually find themselves overwhelmed by the reactions from their own deeds.

Eventually becoming so entangled and covered by material nature, they lose their free will and become controlled by their own Karma, or the reactions to their own actions.

In the material world so many terrible things are continually happening because of mistaken selfish desire and the fact that the nature of the material creation is it is temporary and in a constant state of decomposition and decay.

This does NOT happen because Krishna "personally" allows such suffering to happen, no, Krishna is technically NOT responsible for all the suffering in the material creation.

Even though the material worlds are His creation via Maha Vishnu.

The suffering in the material creation happens because the individual jiva-souls continue to misuse their free will and independence, such free will is part and parcel of their eternal individual marginal constitution.

Krishna never gave the marginal living entities (jiva-tattva souls) free will because the jiva-tattva souls have ALWAYS had free will!

And like Krishna, the jiva-tattva souls are beginningless and endless.

So there was never a time when they never had free will.

And Krishna will NEVER interfere with the jiva-souls free will either.

If the jiva soul did not have free will, the jiva-souls would have no individual sense of self and independence, making them mindless drones like a dead stone Prabhupada has explained.

Without free will, the jiva-souls would not have the personal ability to accept and give loving exchanges, choosing to serve in their own unique personal special way, in the mood of loving reciprocation. These are the characteristics that make the jiva-soul (marginal living entity) the individual person they eternal are.

Love is NEVER a one way street, it can ONLY exist when there is loving reciprocation between Krishna and His devotee, between two or more living beings.

Surrendering one's free will for Krishna to completely control is impersonalism, it is like one who controls a puppet by moving the strings, having absolute control that will only take away from the jiva souls THEIR individual sense of self and ability to offer THEIR own personal unique contributions that each jiva soul has.

No two jiva souls are the same, each are independent individuals with their own unique sense of self

On the other hand, if Krishna controls the jiva soul in every way in Vaikuntha and Goloka Vrindavan, then that cold one sided relationship is empty poisoned impersonalism.

Such a nonsense one sided dictatorial relationship would simply make the jiva-souls no better than "mindless lifeless dead stone" Prabhupada has explained.

The jiva-souls in Vaikuntha and Goloka Vrindavan in their natural full spiritual potential, ALWAYS have free will as part of their individual marginal identity, that allows them to each have their own unique personal relationship of their choice with Vishnu or Krishna that only they have.

In other words, each jiva soul has their own special unique association and relationship with Krishna.

However, the material creation is different because those who enter it have chosen to reject Vishnu or Krishna greatly losing their full expression of free will due to being embodied in a material body and coming under the laws of material nature (karma).

So why then does Krishna allow so much suffering in the material creation?

First of all, the jiva-souls have perpetual free will as explained above, which ALWAYS makes them fully responsible for their own actions.

Entering the material creation is a mistake by those jiva-souls because it is NOT the real home of the jiva-souls.

However, each jiva-soul CAN make their own choices due to their eternal constitutional nature as an independent free thinking part and parcel expansion of the Krishna having 78.125% of Krishna's 64 qualities which is 50 of His qualities.

It is not that Krishna at any point allows free will, because there has ALWAYS been free will. 

This "freedom" for the jiva-soul is part of their perpetual makeup because without "free will", meaning the jiva souls independent sense of self worth, individuality, having a unique character and personality, then there can NEVER be reciprocal love between Krishna and the marginal living entity (jiva-soul)

Sadly, some jiva-souls make the wrong choices Prabhupada has told us, giving the figure at less than 10%

But the adds over 90% "choose to NEVER rebel or fall down to the material creation.

While in the material creation, their actions good and bad, come under the laws of material nature called karma, and they have answer for all they do.

This means the jiva-soul is FULLY responsible for their own actions, life after life after life in the material creation.

Krishna is NOT responsible for the choices the jiva-soul makes, the jiva's are FULLY responsible for their actions.

All suffering therefore is caused by the reactions of their own mistaken choices and actions.

In other words, the jiva-soul is punished or rewarded for whatever actions, good or bad, they have "chosen" to act out in this life that may not be paid for until the next life, or even the life after that.

It is important to understand and realize that each of us are responsible for our actions.

Then we will understand that we CANNOT blame God for the suffering of what even appears to be innocent young children dying of so many different diseases.

Many are blinded by the external bodily vessel and can only see the child's gross material body, and NOT the ETERNAL jiva-soul within who has had MANY past lives in other material bodies, that all have accumulated a build up of pious and impious reactions (karma).

What many do not see is that the "jiva-soul is eternal" and has had many material bodily vessels as Bhagavad Gita As It Is teaches.

Therefore, all the suffering in the present material body of the young child, is coming from whatever the jiva-soul in that child's present young material body, did in a previous life time, or life times.

The bank balance of karmic reactions, good and bad, are stored in the subtle body that are accumulated from thousands of previous lives.

They are then carried at death in the subtle material body to the next gross material body in the womb of the new mother.

Such karma, good and bad, gradually unfolds to the present body one is now living, and continue to unfold to all future lives (material bodies) the jiva-soul enters within the material universe.

God (Krishna) is not the cause of the jiva-souls suffering, they are by the selfish exploitive choices they have made in a past material body. Past lives they have forgotten in their present material body. This is why we see children suffering, it is simply karmic reactions from previous material bodies (lives)

However, for advanced souls with transcendental knowledge, they can see that the child's suffering is caused by the many mistaken actions made over many, many previous live times.

And understand that in the material body the child has in this life, the jiva-soul within it, is reaping the good and bad karma from all those previous life times.

It is important to understand that we cannot blame God for our suffering, or anybody else, clearly we are responsible.

We get what we deserve, no more, no less, what goes around comes around.

The balance between punishment and reward and good deed and bad deeds (karma) in the material world is very strict.

Paintings description -

Without free will in Vaikuntha and Goloka Vrindavan, which means the jiva souls always have an independent sense of self worth, individuality, unique character and personality, then there can NEVER be reciprocal love between Krishna and the marginal living entity (jiva-soul)

Srila Prabhupada has said without free will and the ability to reciprocate as an independent individual servant of Lord Krishna, then we are all no better than a DEAD stone.

Krsna, as His original form in Goloka Vrindavana, never leaves there to enter the material creation.

Krsna indirectly enters the material creation by expanding as His 4 armed Visnu form, who then plays the part of the original two-armed Kṛṣṇa in a facsimile of the original Vrindavana that is in the material creation.  

Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes, is the source of ALL Visnu and Narayana forms of God.

However, in Vrindavana no one really cares for that comment, they don't care if Krsna is God or isn't God, to them He is simply their best friend and well wisher who they all love unconditionally. Therefore, to all the gopas (boys) and gopis (girls), Krsna is simply the centre of their existence, who will do anything to always be with.

Also, Krsna is ALWAYS protecting His friends too, always looking after their welfare and looking out for them, never allowing anything or anyone to harm them. This is what the eternal Kingdom of God, Goloka Vrindavana, is really like that has baffled scholars, philosophers, religionists, and seekers of truth since time immemorial.

Who would ever think that child Krsna in Vrndavana is the original form of God, the cause of all causes, and NEVER leaves there as His original form. When Krsna does appear in the facsimile Vrndavana in the material creation, outside the Spiritual World of Goloka-Vrindavana, then that form of Krsna is His Visnu-tattva expansion only playing the part AS the original Krsna.

However, Krsna's older brother Balarama, also in the original Vrndavana in the Spiritual World, is already a Visnu-tattva expansion of Krsna, being Krsna's first expansion. 

So when that Balarama appears in the "facsimile Vrindavana" in the material creation, He expands Himself as the exact very same Lord Balarama, and appears in the material creation in Krsna's pastimes while simultaneously remaining in the original Vrindavana in the spiritual world with Krsna.

In Goloka Vrindavana in the Spiritual Sky, the sense of "time" is always experienced as the "eternal presence" because Krsna, Balarama, and Radharani NEVER leave there. This is inconceivable to most of us and comes under the heading of simultaneously one yet different teachings.

Srila Prabhupada - "Kṛṣṇa is the original Supreme Personality of Godhead, and Baladeva (Balarama) is Kṛṣṇa's immediate expansion. Both Lord Kṛṣṇa and Baladeva appeared as sons of Vasudeva, so both of Them may be called Vāsudeva. From another point of view, because Kṛṣṇa NEVER leaves Vṛndāvana, all the forms of Kṛṣṇa that appear elsewhere are His expansions." (BG As It Is Ch 10 Text 37)

Srila Prabhupada - "The original Lord Kṛṣṇa never leaves Goloka Vṛndāvana. All the plenary expansions are one and the same Viṣṇu-tattva, and there is no difference in Their potency." (SB Canto 3 Ch 1 Text 34)

Srila Prabhupada - "Ādi caturbhuja, the original expansions from Baladeva (Balarama), are Vāsudeva, Saṅkarṣaṇa, Pradyumna, and Aniruddha. All of Them are Viṣṇu-tattvas, or nondifferent Personalities of Godhead. In the incarnation of Śrī Rāma, all these different expansions appeared for particular pastimes. Lord Rāma is the original Vāsudeva, and His brothers were Saṅkarṣaṇa, Pradyumna, and Aniruddha.

Aniruddha is also the cause of Mahā-Viṣṇu, from whose breathing the Ṛg Veda appeared. All this is nicely explained in the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa. In the incarnation of Lord Kṛṣṇa, Aniruddha appeared as the son of the Lord. The original Lord Kṛṣṇa NEVER leaves Goloka Vṛndāvana. All the plenary expansions are one and the same Viṣṇu-tattva, and there is no difference in Their potency." (BG As It Is Ch 10 Text 37)

Srila Prabhupada - "The biggest and highest planet in the brahmajyoti is Kṛṣṇaloka, or Goloka Vṛndāvana, where the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself, resides. Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa NEVER leaves Kṛṣṇaloka." (Sri Isopanisad 12)

Giriraj Swami - "The Visnu who appeared in Mathura is Vasudeva Krsna, fully grown, with four hands and long hair and many ornaments and symbols of Visnu. The Krsna who took birth in Vraja is the original Krsna with two hands. When Vasudeva and Devaki prayed to Visnu as the Supreme Personality of Godhead to become like a human baby and Vasudeva carried him across the Yamuna River to Vrindavana, the original Krsna absorbed the Vasudeva Krsna into Himself." (Lecture Mumbai 1980)

When Krsna wants to fight demons, He does that as His Visnu-tattva expansion playing the part of Krsna in the material creation. In the original Vrndavana, there are no demons.

It is only the 4 armed Lord Visnu, playing the part as the 2 armed formed Krsna who kills demons in the facsimile of Vrindavana in the material creation. So, there are NO demons in Vrindavana in the Spiritual World of both Vaikuntha and Goloka-Vrindavana, so Krsna NEVER fights demons there.

Vaikuntha means without anxiety, so how can there be demons there? Prabhupada has said. Demons only exist in the "facsimile Vrindavana" in the material creation.

Krsna in "His original form" appears "via His Visnu-tattva expansion" to "one" Dvarpara-yuga out of every thousand, which is once every 8 billion 640 million human years.

But ONLY as His Visnu-tattva expansion of His original self playing the part AS Krsna. This is because Krsna, as His original form, as already explained, NEVER leaves Goloka Vrindavana in the spiritual world.*^

Why did Krsna give the marginal living entities (jiva-souls) free will if He knew they would miss use it and fall down to the temporary material creation?

Free will can NEVER be "surrendered" because our choices define who we individually are as a contributing devotee of Kṛṣṇa.  

The marginal living entities (jiva-souls) never lose their voluntary self expression of free will in Vaikuntha or Goloka-Vrindavana.

Devotee - "Srila Prabhupada why did Krsna give us free will if He knew we could fall down to the material world?"

Srila Prabhupada - "If you have no free will, then you are a stone. The stone has no free will, you want to be stone? Then you must have free will. But don't misuse your free will. But don't try to become stone either. That is not life." (Aug 5, 1976, New Mayapur France)

Devotee – "In the Srimad-Bhagavatam it says that Krsna did not want us to come to this material world. If Krsna did not want us to come, then why are we here?"

Srila Prabhupada – "Yes, you forced Krsna to allow you to come. Just like sometimes a child forces his father. Father says, "My dear son, do not do this. Do not go there." But he insists, "Oh, I must go. I must go." “All right, you go at your risk. That’s all. And you suffer. What can be done? It is because you are Son of God you have independence, full independence, you have free will, therefore you have acquired the quality of your father. You have got "little independence", so Krsna does not interfere with your little independence. If you persist that "I must go and enjoy independently," so Krsna says, "All right, you can go." This is the position. You have to take sanction. That is a fact. But when you persist, Krsna sanctions. And you come to the material world and enjoy." (Melbourne, Australia June 25, 1974) 

Devotee – "Why doesn’t Krsna save me from thinking independently from Him?"

Srila Prabhupada - "That means you lose your independence. That is force, in Bengali it is said, "If you catch one girl or boy and you demand you love me, you love me, you love me, is that love? "You love me otherwise I will kill you!" Is that love? So Krsna does not want to become a lover like that, on the point of revolver. "You love me, otherwise I shall kill you!" That is not love; that is threatening. Love is reciprocal, voluntary, good exchange of feeling. Then there is love. Not by force; that is rape. Why one is called lover, another is called rapist?" (July 8, 1976 in Washington, D.C.)

Guru-kripa – "How is it that one can become envious of Krsna?"

Srila Prabhupada – "You have got little independence, you can violate. Because you are part and parcel of God, God has got full independence, but you have got little independence, proportionately, because you are part and parcel, if he likes, he can return (to the material creation). That independence has to be accepted, little independence. We can misuse that. Krsna-bahirmukha haïä bhoga väïchä kare. That misuse is the cause of our falldown." (Conversation, Mayapur, Feb 19, 1976)

Genuine love or bhakti is a "two-way street," it is never a one-way slave/master impersonal mentality. All marginal living entities (jiva-souls) are eternal individual persons with their own unique independent personality separate from Krsna's Personality.

Free will allows the jiva-soul to offer voluntary individual personal contributions in the spiritual world, both "giving and receiving" So one can experience loving exchanges between two, the jiva-souls and Krsna.

In Vaikuntha and Goloka-Vrindavana there must always be this type of reciprocation and loving exchanges, where the jiva-souls naturally expresses their own unique personal offerings while serving Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes.

Having free will in the spiritual world is the constitutional make up of every marginal living entities (jīva-souls) unique independent character and personality that only works in a "two-way" relationship with Krsna, otherwise one is just dead mindless stone.

Srila Prabhupada - "Unless there are two persons, where is the question of love?" (Teheran, Iran, Aug 9th, 1976)

The full potential of one's free will is voluntarily realizing that one's eternal position is being Krsna's eternal servant in the spiritual world's of  the Vaikuntha planets and Goloka Vrindavan, which are the jiva-soul's real eternal home.

The material universes were designed so we always fail (because of it's temporary nature) The fact is, we are not supposed to be here in the material creation, it is NOT our real home.

The material creation we live is occupied by material bodily vessels, which are foreign to the eternal nature of the jiva-souls full spiritual non-decaying qualities.

In this material world that we foolishly call home, we experience so many misfortunes, confusions, and unnatural conditions like experiencing the progressive decay of our material bodily vessel we are temporary in over its lifetime.

For the jiva-soul this material creation and material body is not natural because the jiva-soul within the material container is indestructible while the material bodily vessel is temporary and always in a state of decomposition.

Foolishly, we are conditioned to think this decaying and decomposing material creation is normal, not realizing we are not the material bodily vessel, but are actually the eternal undestructable passenger within it, the jiva-soul.

The miseries the jiva-soul experiences while trapped in an aging material bodily vessel, are experienced because we have forgotten our true eternal spiritual essence and identity and have instead identified with the material body, foolishly thinking it is who we are.

This constant identification with the material body causes us pain, yet we don’t want to give it up, we are in illusion believing such a temporary material covering will bring us happiness.

In our misunderstanding of who we are, we foolishly hold on to our temporary material bodily vessel that only causes us endless suffering. 

We ignorantly try and do anything to preserve and maintain our material bodily vessel, foolishly thinking it is who we really are, not realizing it is a outwardly decaying dress that the real self (jiva-soul) is trapped in as a passenger.

This material creation and material body is like a bridge. We should learn to cross the bridge, not build a house on it. A bridge is meant for one purpose only, to take us "from one side to the other. It is not a place to stop on, or try and make it a permanent residence.

This human form of life, when used properly under the guidance of a bonafide spiritual teacher, can take us from the land of illusion, attachment, and repeated birth and death, to our true home, to the land of eternal endless love, where there is no birth, disease, old age and death, to the land of Krsna and Visnu. 

We should use this very rare human material body for the purpose for which it was built for, to help us re-establish our eternal relationship with Krsna and get out of this place of birth and death, and return back home to the Kingdom of God.

But we tend to be foolish, we try hard to hold on to our illusion in the material creation as long as possible, forgetting that the death of the material bodily vessel is inevitable, and nothing in the material creation is permanent.

If there is one thing devotees lament in their hearts, it is when someone dies without having used his or her rare human bodily form of life to attain their full potential, which is realizing they are Krsna's eternal servant as an eternal spiritual person with an ever youthful eternal spiritual body that exists for infinity.

Sadly, many have given up the chance to attain self-realization and have died like dogs or cats and then are forced to take their next birth in the animal Kingdom or even lower species. 

The human form of life is the only species of life where one can inquire about who they really are, where they came from, and where they are going, and learn how to become self realized after finding a bonafide spiritual master or teacher (like Srila Prabhupada)

We must learn to use the human form of life and inquire about who we really are in the material bodily vessel because the fact is, we are not this decomposing material body.^^^.
