Description
The tradition of krishna-bhakti is worship of the personal God Sri Krishna. Although one of the oldest Vedantic traditions, it reached its pinnacle under Sri Chaitanya who is regarded by His followers as incarnation of Sri Krishna himself in the form of His devotee. He deputed His six ascetic disciples headed by Srila Rupa Gosvami, the former prime minister of Bengal, to create exegetical works systematizing the precepts of His teachings thereby creating a school which came to be known as Gaudiya Vaisnavism.
At the heart of this tradition lies the core philosophy of loving devotional service, a reciprocal relationship with the Personal God fraught with moods (bhavas) and devotional experiences (rasa). These form the subject matter of
Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, Srila Rupa Gosvami’s literary masterpiece, a classic of devotional literature composed in Sanskrit and describing the complete science of bhakti-yoga, or linking with the Supreme God, Krsna through transcendental loving devotion.
In this summary study, Srila Prabhupada gives a complete translation and provides occasional commentary. Topics include the characteristics of pure devotional service, ecstatic love of God, the qualities of Sri Krishna, and stimulation for ecstatic love.

Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who represents a line of teachers in disciplic succession from Krishna Himself. Srila Prabhupada’s faithfulness to Krishna’s teachings—and expertise in presenting them to western readers—make Bhagavad-gita As It Is true to its title.

Krsna: The Supreme Personality of Godhead
$15.95Srila Prabhupada wrote “Krishna Book” before he had even fully completed his translation and commentary on the Bhagavatam. He wanted people to hear about Krishna the person and His activities, in English, from an authorized representative of the Krishna-bhakti tradition. As he mentions in his Introduction, this was so they wouldn’t risk mistaking Krishna to be just another human being and his pastimes as mundane adventure/romance stories. It should be said, however, that fans of adventure and romance will find nothing lacking in this contemporary recounting of Krishna’s activities.
