Godhead

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Godhead refers to the view of the abstract and essential divine nature of God.

• Godhead (Hinduism) / Godhead (Vaishnavism) - The conception of Godhead according to the Gaudiya Vaishnava school of Hinduism refers to the original spiritual abode or home of Krishna or Vishnu. A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada often referred to Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead and of returning back home, back to Godhead, to live eternally with Krishna. In the initial stages of Gaudiya Vaishnavism a practitioner desires to perfect himself in order to attain the qualification to enter into Krishna’s abode. However, a higher and more esoteric concept is to realize ones position as an eternal servitor of Godhead and to serve wherever one may be, without consideration of returning to Godhead. In other words, to surrender fully to the will and whim of God.”
