Full Version
Śrī Bhagavān and His non-different manifestation, śrī gurudeva, are not under the control of material time. The potency of time (kāla-śakti) in the form of the cycle of material birth and death can have no influence over them. The pastime of Śrī Bhagavān – the transcendental visaya- vigraha (object of worship) – in which He descends from the transcendental world to this material world is termed avirbhāva, or divine appearance, and the pastime in which He abandons this material world to return back to the transcendental abode, Goloka, is termed as tirobhāva.
