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 Srimad-Bhagavatam, the tenth canto is considered the most confidential, since it describes all the transcendental pastimes of Sri Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Krsna is a summary study of the tenth canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam.

The activities of Krsna, which appear to be like those of an ordinary human being, can only be properly understood with the help of a bona fide spiritual master fully realized in the knowledge of this transcendental nature. A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is authorized by an unbreakable disciplic succession of spiritual masters going back thousands of years to the time when Krsna appeared. Because he is the representative of the disciplic succession for this age and because of his complete immersion in love of Krsna Prabhupada is uniquely qualified to present Krsna as He is.

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.

Forseeing the publication of this book, with its fifty-eight full-color illustrations, Prabhupada commented, "No other religion has such a full concept of God. I think our Krsna book will convince them. Whoever reads it will become a devotee of Krsna."
