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

Hare Rama, Hare
