The most comprchensive and authorita-
tive Vedic scriptural literature is the
Srimad-Bhagavatam (“The Beautiful Story
of the Personality of Godhead”), the
mature contribution of Srila Vyiasadeva,
the compiler of the Vedas. Of the twelve
cantos of Srimad-Bhagavatam, the tenth
canto is considered the most confidential,
since it describes all the transcendental

: pastimes of Sn Krsna, the Supreme Per-
sonality of Godhead. Krsna is a summary
study of the tenth canto of Srimad-
Bhagavatam.

The activities of Krsna, which appear to
be like those of an ordinary human being,
can only be properly understood with the
help of a bona fide spiritual master fully
realized in the knowledge of this transcen-
dental nature. A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada is authorized by an unbreak-
able disciplic succession of spiritual mas-
ters going back thousands of years to the
time when Krsna appeared. Because he is
the representative of the disciplic suc-
cession for this age and because of his
complete immersion in love of Krsna
Prabhupada is uniquely qualified to pre-
sent Krsna as He is.

Sakadeva Gosvami, the original speaker
of Srimad-Bhagavatam, has declared that
there are three classes of men and that the
pastimes of Krsna will be relished by each
of them. The liberated soul who is no
longer interested in mundane topics most
certainly hears about Krsna with the high-
est 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 Krsna because of the resem-
blance between His affairs with the gopis
and the loving affairs of ordinary boys and
girls.

Forseeing the publication of this book,
with its fifty-eight full-color illustrations,
Prabhupada commented. “No other reli-
gion has such a full concept of God. I
think our Krsna book will convince them.
Whoever reads it will become a devotee
of Krsna.”
