6 Krsna Consciousness: the Topmost Yoga System

or our time, because we are in full faith that Krsna is the
Supreme Personality of Godhead. Theoretically or practically,
you should accept Krsna as the Supreme Person. Theoretically,
there is the revealed scripture. You will understand from the
Vedic literature, from the great devotees in the past and in the
present.

For the present, there is Lord Caitanya. Lord Caitanya is the
great authority. None is greater. He was mad after Krsna. And
then, after Him, His six disciples, the gosvdmis , have left us
an immensely valuable literature—especially Jiva Gosvami .
They have written volumes on Krsna. So, under disciplic suc-
cession, we have come to this point; and if you like past his-
tory, then go back a long, long time to Vyasadeva. He is known
to have written the Srimad-Bhagavatam and other literature on
Krsna. Srimad-Bhagavatam is nothing but a description of
Krsna. Vyasa is also the writer of the Bhagavad-gita. The Gita
was spoken by Krsna and noted down by Vyasa, who put this
Gita into the Mahabharata.

So Vyasadeva accepts Krsna as the Supreme Person. In the
Srimad-Bhagavatam he has given the description of the dif-
ferent incarnations; there are twenty-five of Them. And, in the
conclusion, he says that the descriptions that are given of
different incarnations are all parts of the representations of
God. But Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Him-
self. He is not part, but one hundred percent—one hundred
percent God. So there is the evidence of authority.

And, practically, if we believe the sastras, the scriptures,
then we can see: Who can be more powerful than Krsna? Who
can be more beautiful than Krsna? Who can be more famous
than Krsna? Krsna appeared five thousand years ago, but His
knowledge, which He gave in the form of the Srimad Bhagavad-
gitd, is still worshiped. It is worshiped not only by the Hindus
or the Indians, but is read all over the world. In your country
there are at least fifty different editions of the Bhagavad-gita,
