7m: KṚṢṆA The Supreme Personality of Godhead

The most comprehensive and authoritative Vedic scriptural literature is the Srimad-Bhagavatam (the Beautiful Story of the Personality of Godhead), the mature contribution of Srila Vyasadeva, the compiler of the Vedas. Of the twelve cantos of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, the Tenth Canto is considered the most confidential, since it describes the transcendental pastimes of Sri Krsna, the Personality of Godhead. Krsna is a summary study of the Tenth Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam.

Sukadeva 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 highest 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 resemblance between His affairs with the gopis and the loving affairs of ordinary boys and girls. This presentation of the pastimes of Krsna is a rare opportunity for all mankind to become attracted to the transcendental world of the Personality of Godhead and to thus derive the highest benefit.
