Fame

All the demigods who are in charge of the various universes know and worship Krsna. Being the supreme omnipresence, He is known and extolled in all the three worlds. Though it may appear that some planets are ignorant of Him due to the influences of the Age of Kali, His fame is total, and His countless names are chanted in all spheres.

The fame of any man or nation is temporary or illusory. Today we have completely forgotten the nations that dwelled on this earth only six thousand years ago, and because we have forgotten them, we claim that no civilizations were existing then, although man is known to have been walking upright on this planet for at least a million years. Yet man's vanity would have him think that his fame is eternal.

Like the other opulences, fame is incidental to Krsna. In the Vaikuntha planets hundreds of millions of Laksmis serve at His feet. "I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, the first progenitor, who is tending the cows, yielding all desire, who dwells in abodes built with spiritual gems, surrounded by millions of purpose-trees, and who is always served with great reverence and affection by hundreds of thousands of Laksmis or gopis." (Brahma-samhita, 5.29) Lord Krsna is the totality of everything. He is known in all the worlds, and so has total fame.
