Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead

Fifty centuries ago Krishna descended from the transcendental world to show us His eternal spiritual activities. His acts reveal the fullest concept of God and attract us to join Him again. They are tangible subjects upon which to meditate.

Sri Krishna's life is fascinating and highly entertaining--even children love the stories. His life is full of deep philosophical wisdom and spiritual insight, and is a window into the personality, thoughts, and feelings of God.

Originally part of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, these text were taken from the Tenth Canto, translated into English, and adapted to story form by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. The Krsna Book has been a popular classic for recent generations, and this narration is taken from the original text.
