When people conceive of God, they think
the highest conception of God generally is the Creator,
who created the world and the universes.
Always “Creator”, “Creator”.
[Beyond The Creator]
And we had this discussion in China,
how, in Kṛṣṇa conception,
creation is a secondary function.
Kṛṣṇa is not directly involved in creation.
What is He doing? Play.
Deva-mayī. You know what deva means?
The general word for deva means god.
Deva, devi: god, goddess.
But not when applied to Kṛṣṇa;
what deva means is ‘playful’,
and not only playful, but divine love pastimes—that type of play.
Divine love play.
That’s the one who is called Deva.
Deva-mayī means Śrīmatiī Rādhārāṇī,
who is supplying all the divine love play to Kṛṣṇa.
