The number of heads of Brahma is propo rtional to the size of universe

The number of heads of Brahma is proportional to the size of universeImage may contain: 13 people, including Madhumati Devi Dasi and হরিনাম সংকীর্তন, people standing

* CC Madhya 21.84: "Kṛṣṇa said, 'Your particular universe has a diameter of four billion miles; therefore it is the smallest of all the universes. Consequently you have only four heads.
* CC Madhya 21.85: "'Some of the universes are one billion yojanas in diameter, some one trillion, some ten trillion and some one hundred trillion yojanas. Thus they are almost unlimited in area.
* CC Madhya 21.86: "'According to the size of the universe, there are so many heads on the body of Brahmā. In this way I maintain innumerable universes [brahmāṇḍas].
* CC Madhya 21.87: "'No one can measure the length and breadth of the one fourth of My energy manifested in the material world. Who then can measure the three fourths that is manifested in the spiritual world?'
* CC Madhya 21.88: "'"Beyond the river Virajā is the spiritual nature, which is indestructible, eternal, inexhaustible and unlimited. It is the supreme abode, consisting of three fourths of the Lord's opulences. It is known as paravyoma, the spiritual sky."'
* CC Madhya 21.89: "In this way Lord Kṛṣṇa bade farewell to the four-headed Brahmā of this universe. We may thus understand that no one can calculate the extent of Kṛṣṇa's energies.

It reminds me of one time Srila Prabhupada called Tamal Krsna Maharaja when he was a brahmacari and told him ,there are so many large planets in this Universe and one of the smaller planet is Earth , on Earth there are so many countries, and one country is USA, in USA is so many cities , and in one city is New York and in New York is so many streets and one street is Henry street and there are so many houses one of them is the temple of ISKCON and there are so many rooms and persons in the temple and one of them if Tamal Krsna das Brahmacari that thinks he is the most important person in the Universe.

What is our actual size ? kesagra-sata-bhagasya satamsah sadrsatmakah
jivah suksma-svarupo 'yam sankhyatito hi cit-kanah
"There are innumerable particles of spiritual atoms, which are measured as one ten-thousandth of the upper portion of the hair."

balagra-sata-bhagasya satadha kalpitasya ca
bhago jivah sa vijneyah sa canantyaya kalpate.
"When the upper point of a hair is divided into one hundred parts and again each of such parts is further divided into one hundred parts, each such part is the measurement of the dimension of the spirit soul." (Svet. 5.9)

So the actual size of the spirit soul of all those Lord Brahmas are the same and each of us is cit kanah the size of a spiritual atom ,of course what body a soul manifest depends on Lord Krsna all these bodies of these powerful Brahmas are also temporary .The size of the soul is all the same for every living being in all material universes.When we go back to Godhead we will be given a body free from ignorance and material illusiones that is Sac cid and Ananda ,that is the best choice for all of us and should inspire us to want to go back to Godhead and end rotating in this material world in the cycle of Samsara .
