[ding dong]

I've never really understood all that. They themselves have said in other places that if you make it to those worlds then you will have to fall down again. There are some indian anecdotes in this vain. Hiranyaloka is Sanskrit for "Golden world". It's basically a heavenly realm. Assuming that it is not just PY's imagination brought on by the grief of Yukteswar's death, it is still a temporary place and can't denote full enlightenment. An enlightened being, as I understand, wouldn't reincarnate at all in any world. I also don't believe the avatar stuff much either.
