 Taking to Krṣna Consciousness
In India all scriptures and great spiritual teachers, including Śaṅkarācārya, an impersonalist, accept Krṣṇa as the Supreme Lord. In the beginning of his commentary on the  Bhagavad-gītā , Śaṅkarācārya says that Nārāyaṇa is transcendental to this manifested and unmanifested creation, and in the same commentary he says that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Nārāyaṇa, is Krṣṇa appearing as the son of Devakī and Vasudeva. Thus in this respect there is little difference of opinion about Krṣṇa. Those who are authorities, be they personalists or impersonalists, are in agreement that Krṣṇa is the Supreme Lord.
When Krṣṇa was present on this planet, He proved by His activities and opulence that He is the Supreme Lord. If we are actually anxious to understand who and what the Supreme Lord is, all of the information is given in Vedic literatures. If we utilize whatever we have in our possession to understand God, Krṣṇa will prove that He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If we but accept this one fact, then all of our education is complete. It is fashionable to research to try to find out who is God, but this is not necessary. God is present, and He Himself says:
mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat kiñcid asti dhanañjaya mayi sarvam idaṁ protaṁ sūtre maṇi-gaṇā iva
