Q41. Does God have a form?

Yes, God has a form. You have a form, the plants and animals have forms, so why shouldn’t the person from whom all forms originate have a form? Your father has a form, your grandfather had a form, and your great grandfather had a form. In this way, if you go back to the original person, from whom we all originate, God, He also has a form, and that’s why we have a form. The purpose of religion is to know and love God, but unless there is realization of the transcendental form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, there is no question of love of God. “Foolish men, disregard Me when I appear in a human like body. They do not know that My nature is spiritual, and I am the great Lord of everything. (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.11) Lord Krishna appears in His original form once in every day of Brahma, which is every 8.64 billion years. So far in the current cycle, Lord Krishna has appeared more than 18,000 times on this planet in His original spiritual form. He has also appeared millions of times in many other forms such as Lord Ram, Lord Buddha etc.
