Turiyā The Fourth Dimension

In their writings, Çréla Kåñëadäsa Kaviräja Goswami, Çréla Bhaktisiddhänta Sarasvaté Öhäkura Prabhupäda and Çréla A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupäda discuss the fourth dimension:

“...The Supreme Personality of Godhead is by nature joyful. His enjoyments, or pastimes, are completely transcendental. He is in the ‘fourth dimension’ of existence, for although the material world is measured by the limitations of length, breadth and height, the Supreme Lord is completely unlimited in His body, form and existence...”2

e sabhära darçanete äche mäyä-gandha turéya kåñëera nähi mäyära sambandha

“Superficially we see that these puruñas have a relationship with mäyä, but above them, in the ‘fourth dimension’, is Lord Kåñëa, who has no contact with the material energy.”3

viräò hiraëya-garbhaç ca käraëaà cety upädhayaù éçasya yat tribhir hénaà turéyaà tat pracakñate

“In the material world the Lord is designated as viräö, hiraëyagarbha and käraëa. But beyond these three designations, the Lord is ultimately in the ‘fourth dimension’.”4
