Reference to Acharyas: Srila Jiva Goswami

Q. "While going through Srimad Bhagavatam, in Canto 11 Chapter 7.19-21, it is revealed that one can become his own guru and experience Krishna's full potencies.

Q. I wanted to know about the concept of transmigration of soul which is preached in the Bhagavad-Gita, but this transmigration is no where mentioned in the Vedas. In fact, the Vedas also say that God has no form; please clarify on the same.

Bhagavad-gita is integral part of Vedic literature; in fact it is popularly called Gitopanisad, for it summarizes the essence of all Vedas, and has emanated directly from the lotus mouth of the Supreme Lord, as do all of the Vedas.

Q. 1. I'm having difficulty understanding the divinity of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Q. In Srimad Bhagavatam 1st canto 5th chapter, Srila Prabhupada says that Vedanta-sutra is the complete deliberation on the impersonal Brahman and yet he also says that Srimad Bhagavatam, which is purely Personal is the natural commentary. How to reconcile this two apparently contradicting statements?

Q. Why is Krishna blue? why not red or yellow or any other color? Why is it that the Absolute Truth has a bluish complexion? It would be best to get some sastric references.

This question has previously been addressed, as follows:

Q. In Bhagavad Gita, Krishna claims Himself to be the only supreme Lord. But in Siva Gita (which is in Padmapurana) Siva claims that He is the only supreme Lord. Various puranas praise various Lords to be the supreme absolute truth. This is very much confusing and this suggests the possibility of scriptures being man made. It is obvious that Bhagavad Gita or Srimad Bhagavatam are not special since Siva Gita and other puranas can sufficiently counter the claims made by the above said scriptures. So how to know who the Almighty is?

Q. A friend of mine said that Krishna never returned to Vrindavana after the battle of Kurukshetra. Yet, Caitanya-Caritamrta says that it was Vishnu who went to Mathura and that Krishna never leaves Vrindavana. Then there is Ratha Yatra, which is celebrating Krishna's return to Vrindavana. Could you please shed light on this?

Q. What position does Lord Krishna have according to Shiva Purana? What kind of relationship do Krishna and Shiva maintain (according to Shiva purana)? This is a question I came across in preaching and though I have been able to give references according to the Brahma Samhita, Srimad Bhagavatam, Gita Mahatmya, and also explain that the different puranas are meant for people in different modes, I wasn't able to give a direct answer as to Krishna's position according to the Shiva Purana.
