Publisher's Synopsis
Krsna descended from the transcendental world to pass some time on this planet. The great sage Vyasadeva carefully recorded these daily activities in the 10th Canto of the Bhagavata Purana originally written in the Sanskrit language. This book is totally unique because it tells us all about God as a person. How he spends his time. Krsna does not have to work like all other entities. This book is about what he likes, who his friends are, what he wears, eats and his many adventures. By reading these attractive stories it becomes easier to be God conscious, and become attracted to his service, the perfection of human life. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada wrote "Krishna Book" before he had even fully completed his translation and commentary on the Bhagavatam. He wanted people to hear about Krishna the person and His activities, in English, from an authorized representative of the Krishna-bhakti tradition. As he mentions in his Introduction, this was so they wouldn't risk mistaking Krishna to be just another human being and His pastimes as mundane adventure/romance stories. It should be said, however, that fans of adventure and romance will find nothing lacking in this contemporary recounting of Krishna's activities. SWAMI BHAKTIVEDANTA is as his title says a BHAKTI Yogi following the path of devotion, by serving God through each thought, word and deed, and by chanting His Holy names, the devotee quickly develops God consciousness by chanting, HARE KRSNA HARE KRSNA KRSNA KRSNA HARE HARE, HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE. One inevitably arrives at Krsna consciousness [The proof of the pudding is in the eating!] I request that you take advantage of the book KRSNA, and enter into its understanding. I also request that you make an appointment to meet your God now, through the self liberating process of Yoga [Union] and GIVE PEACE A CHANCE. All you need is love [Krishna] Hari Bol.
