Q171. Can you describe the Kingdom of God?
Only the Vedic scriptures can answer this question, the non-Vedic scriptures don’t have a clue. “My supreme abode is not illuminated by the sun, moon, fire, or electricity. Those who go there, never come back to this material creation.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 15.6) The kingdom of God is called Vaikuntha, the spiritual manifestation of Lord Krishna. "The inhabitants of the Vaikuntha planets are described as having a glowing sky-bluish complexion. Their eyes resemble lotus flowers, their dress is of yellowish color, and their bodily features very attractive. They are just the age of growing youths, they all have four hands, they are all nicely decorated with pearl necklaces with ornamental medallions, and they all appear to be effulgent. Some of them are effulgent like coral and diamonds in complexion and have garlands on their heads, blooming like lotus flowers, and some wear earrings. The Vaikuntha planets are also surrounded by various airplanes, all glowing and brilliantly situated. These airplanes belong to the great mahatmas or devotees of the Lord. The ladies are as beautiful as lightning because of their celestial complexions, and all these combined together appear just like the sky decorated with both clouds and lightning." (Srimad-Bhagavatam 2.9.11-13) After knowing the above, anyone who is truthful, would immediately surrender unto Lord Krishna so they can go to His kingdom at the end of this short life.
