In the philosophy of Krishna devotion (Bhakti Yoga), as expounded in the Bhagavad Gita and other texts, the ultimate form of God is beyond human comprehension and transcends material limitations. Lord Krishna, the Supreme Being, is often perceived in multiple forms. He is both formless (nirakara) and possesses a divine form (sakara). Devotees in Krishna Bhakti believe that God manifests in any way that is most accessible to the devotee, in forms that cater to their emotional and spiritual needs.
Krishna is also revered as the manifestation of the supreme reality (Brahman), who descended into the world in a tangible, human-like form. His divine presence is accessible through His names, His stories, and His divine incarnations. For example, in His form as a child (Bal Krishna), He evokes tenderness and affection. As the young lover (Radha-Krishna), He embodies divine love and attraction. In His form as the charioteer and teacher (Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita), He imparts wisdom and guidance.
Thus, devotees experience God in the form that resonates with them the most, ultimately leading them to realize that God is all-pervading, both within and beyond the material world. This form of God is not limited by time or space, but exists eternally in the hearts of true devotees.
Radhe Radhe!
