Krsna : The Supreme Personality of Godhead Paperback – January 1, 1970

Drop your beliefs before reading this book. I recommend you look at it as either historical fiction or fiction or history. If you read it as a tool for spiritual evolution and you are not someone who grew up within the hinduism system, you are about to be challenged.I read this book because after reading the Bhagavad Gita I just wanted to welcome Krishna in my life and became very curious about the sacred texts of India. However what I found in this book was shocking to me and nothing like the Gita. Krishna feels here like a superhuman being. He has the divine qualities of God yet he has very human behaviors. You will see him engaged in wars, conquests, vengeance . The fact that so many women lusted over him was unsettling. So my advice is to come prepared to drop your beliefs of who or what is God. We can define God within a specific frame but in reality we are so limited to even dare define God.Being such ancient texts, surely it’s a matter of misinterpretation. Being raised in the west, some of us don’t count with the guidance to see beyond the words in the literal sense and find the true meaning.I still kept reading but I had to detach from my expectations and just flow with it. It’s an entertaining book. Is it illuminating? I don’t know how to decipher that and I suspect most westerners won’t know either. What I do know is that I will read it again and other similar texts simply because at a deeper level i am called to it. And maybe one day I will find that subconsciously I have in fact deciphered the teachings.

This Book is absolutely beautiful. It's designed just like the highest quality antique books you find from the 19th Century, and it's soooo inexpensive for this quality.As for the book itself, it's exactly as I'd expected and hoped, mirroring the famous "Tenth Canto" from the Sri'mad Bhagavatam. Beautiful compounded into a fluid narrative along with explainers from A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda's perspective and Lord Chaitanya's teachings of Bhakti Yoga and Gauvidiya Vaishnavism. It's the same teachings still expounded by ISCKON to this day.I don't necessarily agree with all his perspectives, but passion he put into his work and this compilation narrative is unquestionable.It's an absolute treasure, a beautiful work inside and out, and certainly with the price.Also, very quick shipment.So really the total full package.I couldn't be more satisfied!Hare Krishna!

A must have from the master

Krishna book will elevate the reader beyond sensual, mental, and intellectual consciousness, and establish open minded and humble seekers to eternal realms of bliss and knowledge.

To know Krishna, u got to read this book.

This is my 3rd copy of the Krsna Book. Krsna is my Lord & savior 💙 He is my everything! Hare Krsna. 🕉

The life of Sri Krishna, specially the birth and first years of Sri Krishna, is described in colourful tones, as if the writer had been there and watched all the delightful, marvelous and at time dramatic events of that wonderul child.The birth of Sri Krishna is described in detail, but what I like best is the life in Vrindavan, the gopis and the way everybody loved that wonderful Being.A delightful and enlightneing book indeed.

The book arrived with a minor spine injury but the words in this book are still very holy
