Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead

Product Information

Fifty centuries ago Krishna descended from the transcendental world to show us His eternal spiritual activities. As soon as the present body stops functioning and mixes with the five elements of material nature, the living entity within the body accepts another body, according to his present actions and reactions. As for the book itself, it's exactly as I'd expected and hoped, mirroring the famous "Tenth Canto" from the Sri'mad Bhagavatam. As soon as he begins reading Krsna book with a little faith and adherence, Krsna will be very much pleased. One should not be envious of anyone, because envy is the cause of fear both in this world and in the next, when one is before Yamarāja (the lord of punishment after death).

Even today Lord Krishna is remembered and glorified through monumental achievements of art, architecture, drama, music, dance and philosophy.

As stated in the beginning of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, tene brahma hṛdā ya ādi-kavaye: the transcendental knowledge of the Vedas was transmitted to Lord Brahmā through the heart. but through our indentification and attachment with material energy [physical body, sense pleasures, material possessions, ego, etc,] our true TRANSCENDENTAL CONSCIOUSNESS has been polluted, and like a dirty mirror is unable to reflect a pure image. This practice is prevalent from time immemorial, traceable at least to the time before the advent of Lord Kṛṣṇa 5,000 years ago.It is why I have a preference for Bhedabheda/Krsna/Christ but only in the realization that there is no separation whatsoever for there is none in reality. Far from it, he is eternally youthful, the very essence of grace and beauty, of gentility, humility, kindness, sweetness and love.

It is said that Vasudeva was very much elevated and famous for his word of honor, and he wanted to maintain this fame. His life is full of deep philosophical wisdom and spiritual insight, and is a window into the personality, thoughts, and feelings of God.The Vedic knowledge is received first by Brahmā from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, through the medium of the heart. On account of the rule of King Śūrasena, Mathurā became the capital city of all the kings of the Yadus. A summary of the tenth canto of the Bhagavata Purana, it chronicles the activities of Krishna when he appeared on earth 5000 years ago. Although he is God he makes it clear that nothing gives him more pleasure than to serve his own servants. It is said, therefore, that a saintly person can tolerate all kinds of miserable conditions of life, a learned man can discharge his duties without awaiting favorable circumstances, a heinous person like Kaṁsa can act in any sinful way, and a devotee can sacrifice everything to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
