Vaikuntha (or the
ageless planet) is explained as the “Planet of GOD”. Once we become one with
HIM leaving aside our egos and bad actions we move to higher planet of Krishna
(Vaikuntha) where we are form and no form like GOD and have no age. Rivers flow
under green gardens, sweet music played by Gandharvas or Cupids; Krishna says
further that there are thousands of “Laxshmis” serving HIM.
“That supreme abode of Mine is
not illumined by the sun or moon, nor by fire or electricity. Those who reach
it never return to this material world.” –Sri Krishna,Bhagavad-gita 15.6
Can You imagine Krishna spoke about electricity 5000 years back!

What science agrees:
We can admittedly find nothing in
physics or chemistry that has even a remote bearing on consciousness. Yet all
of us know that there is such a thing as consciousness, simply because we have
it ourselves. Hence consciousness must be part of nature, or, more generally,
of reality, which means that, quite apart from the laws of physics and
chemistry, as laid down in quantum theory, we must also consider laws of quite
a different kind. —Niels Bohr, 1922 Nobel Laureate, Physics
Ordinary science cannot study
spirit and its characteristic, consciousness, which are outside the purview of
matter. Spirit can be studied through a spiritual science, such as that given
in the Vedas.
Besides consciousness, other evidence suggests that our identity is separate
from our bodies—for example, past-life memories and out-of-body experiences.
While God is infinite, we souls
are small and are subordinate to Him. We exist to serve Him in love. Our
intrinsic nature—our dharma—is to serve. That quality cannot be separated from
us, just as heat cannot be separated from fire and sweetness cannot be
separated from sugar. We will find full satisfaction only in re-discovering our
unique service to God.
