demigods 1

	In the Vedas we have information that the original person in the universe is Brahma and Brahma's body is also a expansion of Garbhodakasayi Vishnu. Garbhodakasayi Vishnu is a product of Karanadakasayi Vishnu and in this way we ultimately reach Krsna the Cause of all Causes. This is a Picture of Sri Radha and Krishna sitting on a pink lotus in the Goloka Vrndavan Planet, far beyond the material creation and past the viraj and vaikuntha lokas.
	From Mahavishnu comes Garbhodaksayi Vishnu who expands himself to Kshirodaksayi Vishnu. He resides on a planet surrounded by an ocean of milk. From this Vishnu the lila avatars appear. Here you see lord Vishnu riding on his bird carrier named Garuda.
Laxmi The Goddess of Fortune although by nature is always restless and moving from one place to another, will never leave the Lord's service. According to Brahma Samhita the Lord is served very respectfully by hundreds and thousands of the Goddesses of Fortune. They are always in a lonely place also with the Lord. But still the association of the Lord is so inspiringly newer and newer that they cannot quit the Lord for a moment even though they are by nature very much restless and moving from one place to another.
	Brahma According to the scriptures, Brahmaji was born from the lotus that had arisen from the navel of eternal omnipresent Lord Vishnu. From Brahma all demigods, sages, men and animals come. In this picture Brahmaji and his swan carrier are offering respects to child Krsna. Sri Krsna appeared on this earth, in Mathura \ Vrndavan, about 5,000 years ago.
