Product Description
Since time immemorial, yogis, sages, and mystics have forsaken the pleasures of the ordinary world and gone to secluded places to meditate, eager to attain even a momentary vision of Lord Sri Krsna. To help the realization and remembrance of those who wished to fully absorb their consciousness in Him, Sri Krsna descended to earth from His transcendental abode five thousand years ago and revealed His eternal spiritual pastimes. The great sage Vyasadeva carefully recorded those pastimes in his Sanskrit writings, headed by Srimad-Bhagavatam, the crown jewel of all Vedic literature. “Krsna” is Srila Prabhupada's summary study of the Bhagavatam's essence -- its Tenth Canto -- and is thus the first comprehensive exposition in English of those extraordinary events. These stories transport the reader from the mundane and commonplace, beckoning him to participate in a miraculous journey to a transcendental realm beyond space and time, a realm where everything and everyone ! lives in the blissful light of the Supreme Absolute, an eternal transcendental youth -- Lord Sri Krsna, the ultimate object of knowledge and the supreme goal of life. This two-volume edition of “Krsna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead,” will inspire the sincere reader to ever-new levels of spiritual experience each time he opens its covers.

From the Publisher
"Krsna has been too transforming a figure for too many people to remain confined to India or known only through the Bhagavad-gita. Here we have the rounding out of His story that has proven so fruitful for Indian art, song, dance, and devotion." -- Dr. Robert B. Tapp -Prof. of Humanities & Religious Studies, Univ. of Minnesota

5.0 out of 5 stars The Supreme Original Personality, May 9, 2000
By Ron P. Marinelli (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is the first truly accurate English rendition of the 10th Canto of the most elevated spiritual book of the Vedas, namely Srila Vyasadeva's Srimad Bhagavatam, or Bhagavat Purana. There is a lot of misinformation and ignorance about the true nature of spiritual knowledge found in the Vedas of India. The esoteric spiritual portions of the Vedas are not accessible by dry academic analysis, and Swami Bhaktivedanta brilliantly presents the realizations of actual God conscious transcendentalists, who have direct experience of the matters about which they speak. According to the Srimad Bhagavatam, Krishna is the Supreme Original Personality of Godhead and He appeared on this planet 5,000 years ago to display His eternal divine pastimes for the benefit of everyone. In this text, it is explained that God cannot be realized by speculation or empiric experimentation and evaluation. God reveals Himself to those who sincerely want to know about Him, and to make it even easier He appears personally on this planet from time to time. This book is the story of His appearance 5,000 years ago. This is not a book about Hinduism, which isn't really a religion per se. It is a non-sectarian look at some of the deepest philosophical concepts ever revealed to mankind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Divine Love, April 4, 2000
By A Customer
Swami Prabhupada's book provides an enchanting glimpse of the activities of the cowherd god, Krishna, recorded in ancient Hindu writings. Recounting the stories of Krishna, from his birth through his encounters with various demonic forces to his establishment of a royal dynasty, this book is filled with distinctly Indian images of divine love. Here is emphasized the intimate and loving relationship that the human can establish with the divine. Prabhupada's text is quite readable and the narratives are supported by philosophical commentary, also accessible to the average reader. Anyone interested in gaining some understanding of the flavor of Hindu religion should read this book. Although not all sects adhere to the ideas presented here, this is a wonderful first book for the person questing for knowledge of Hindu religion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good summary of Bhagavan Krishna's life., October 31, 2002
By Saurav B. Prasad (Lorton, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It is a good book that summarizes Bhagavan Krishna's life. Another good book is Devi Vanamali's The Play of God, which is a recent publication of Bhagavan Krishna's life.
