KRṢNA   The Supreme Personality of Godhead
The most comprehensive and authoritative Vedic scriptural literature is the  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  (the Beautiful Story of the Personality of Godhead), the mature contribution of  Śrīla Vyāsadeva , the compiler of the  Vedas . Of the twelve cantos of the  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam , the Tenth Canto is considered the most confidential, since it describes the transcendental pastimes of  Śrī Kṛṣṇa , the Personality of Godhead.  Kṛṣṇa  is a summary study of the Tenth Canto of  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam .
Śukadeva Gosvāmī, the original speaker of  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam , has declared that there are three classes of men and that the pastimes of  Kṛṣṇa  will be relished by each of them. The liberated soul who is no longer interested in mundane topics most certainly hears about  Kṛṣṇa  with
the highest pleasure. The person who is trying to become liberated will also enjoy these topics of the Personality of Godhead, which purify anyone who hears them. And even the gross materialist will enjoy hearing about  Kṛṣṇa  because of the resemblance between His affairs with the  gopīs  and the loving affairs of ordinary boys and girls. This presentation of the pastimes of  Kṛṣṇa  is a rare opportunity for all mankind to become attracted to the transcendental world of the Personality of Godhead and to thus derive the highest benefit.
