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 Krishna. To help the realization and remembrance of those who wished to fully absorb their consciousness in Him, Sri Krishna 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 writing, headed by "Srimad-Bhagavatam," the crown jewel of all Vedic literature. Krishna Book is Srila Prabhupada's summary study of the Bhagavatam's essence--it's Tenth Canto--and this 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, and eternal transcendental youth--Lord Sri Krishna, the ultimate object of knowledge and the supreme goal of life.A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is the author of 'Krsna: The Supreme Personality of Godhead Part Two', published 2003 under ISBN 9780892133543 and ISBN 0892133546.
