Hare Krsna!

Why this happens with me only? Why don’t I get what I deserve? What is the purpose of my life? Is God really there? Almighty, Higher power, Supreme powerful?
 Where?

Many times in the course of our life span, we are stuck with these questions. We find ourselves not content with what life has given us. We are acquainted with the bitter truths of life thinking are friends and acquaintances are more happy, more affluent, more content and more blissful than us. We, in the worst phase of our life, feel depressed, dejected and devastated.

At this point of time, this book “KRSNA” comes to your rescue. Written by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swani Praphupada of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness), this book narrates the story of the Supreme Personality of Godhead KRSNA. The book flows through the stream of 90 beautifully written chapters, each enlightening the soul with eternal powers of knowledge and bliss.

It not only gives insight of the life of Lord Krishna but also highlights the teachings of Srimad-Bhagvad Gita.

The best part of the book is the detailed description of the life of Lord Krishna and his opulence. Starting from the advent of Lord Krishna, one is engrossed in the story of various demigods and demons. The story of various demons like Kansa, Putana, Vatsasura, Bakasura, Aghasura, Dhenukasura, Pralambasura, Vyomasura etc. opens our mind towards the negative direction of life which yields just pain and sorrow. It teaches us the optimistic part of life bringing serenity and bliss. Thus, bringing us close to KRSNA.

On the other hand, the book depicts the eternal care between Mother Yasoda and KRSNA, unconditional love between Radharani and KRSNA, the bond of brothers between Balarama and KRSNA, the understanding talks between Devi Rukmini and KRSNA, the altruism between Sudhama and KRSNA, the reverence between Arjuna and KRSNA. Also, the detailed description of other facets of KRSNA’s life like the Rasa Dance, the Gopis, and the Queens married to KRSNA etc. takes your spiritual mind set to an altogether different platform where we find ourselves more content with our lives, more serene and blissful with the understanding of our small role in this huge and beautifully created world of KRSNA.

Reading this book is like taking one step ahead towards KRSNA!

“Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna
Krsna Krsna Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare”
