Hi,
I have recently read a version of the Bhagavad Gita with commentary by A.C Bhakitivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who I believe is the main founder of the ISKCON movement. In the commentary he describes the difference between the Impersonal Brahman and the Svayam Bhagavan and the Svayam Bhagavan as being the original and the impersonal Brahman as being a manifestation of Krishna. At least that is what I have got with my limited understanding.
Now, this seems to be the opposite way around to what I have read in other places, where the Svayam Bhagavan is an aspect of brahman and the brahman is the original. So, who is correct or am I just misunderstanding something completly?
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
