Prabhupada, Bombay, January 20, 1975: The materialistic scientists, they take the ultimate cause of this material world: the atom. Now this atomic theory, paramanu. Paramanu. You have seen the paramanu. In your room, if there is a hole and sunshine is coming through that hole, you will find in that sunshine, sun rays, there are millions of small particles. That is called paramanu. Anu, paramanu.
So then there is anu also, smaller than that. Six anus combined together becomes a paramanu. So the paramanuvada… I forget the rsi’s name who propounded the philosophy of paramanuvada, that the material creation is combination of these atomic particles, paramanuvada. But now the scientists they are studying the paramanu, atom, also. They are finding still subtle elements.
They say “proton and electron,” like that, still finer. In this way you cannot go ultimately to the finest material being. And even if you go, still, there is no solution. You will find something else within it working.
So that something else, ultimately if we can realize, that is Krishna. Andantara-stha-paramanu-cayantara-stham. Krishna is there even within the paramanu, electrons, protons. There is; He is there. Anor aniyan mahato mahiyan. Krishna showed Arjuna the virad-rupa, the gigantic universal form.
So one side, He is universally represented, virad-rupa. And in another side He is within the anu paramanu, smaller than the anu, smaller than the paramanu. Anor aniyan mahato mahiyan. That is Krishna. Mahiyan. But these are all material forms. In the Bhagavad-gita, you will find in the Eleventh Chapter, Arjuna is requesting to come to His original form.
So he was very much threatened, or frightened, and he requested, “This form is very much unbearable to see. Please come to Your original form.” So Krishna first of all came to His form, four-handed Visnu form; then again He came into His two-handed Krishna form, and that is the ultimate, real form of Krishna.
