Scriptures state that Bhagavan Sri Krishna has 64 transcendental qualities exhibited in their highest degree. Sri Krishna’s good qualities are also inexhaustible, unlimited in quality and eternally existing. Exalted personalities like Brahma and Shiva can possess 55 of these qualities, and living entities like ourselves can have 50 of these qualities in a minute quantity for a brief time. In Priti Sandarbha, Sri Jiva Goswamipada lists seventeen unique qualities possessed only by Bhagavan Sri Krishna. While chanting nama-japa, one can remember these divine qualities of Our Sweet Lord Shyama, and thus mentally worship Krishna’s most wonderful and variegated Personality.
