Šrí Šrímad A. Č. Bhaktivédanta Swami Prabhupáda Livres

Since time immemorial, yogis, sages, and mystics have forsaken the pleasures of the ordinary world and gone to secluded places to meditate, eager to attain even a momentary vision of Lord Sri Krsna. To help the realization and remembrance of those who wished to fully absorb their consciousness in Him, Sri Krsna descended to earth from His transcendental abode five thousand years ago and revealed His eternal spiritual pastimes. The great sage Vyasadeva carefully recorded those pastimes in his Sanskrit writings, headed by Srimad-Bhagavatam, the crown jewel of all Vedic literature. “Krsna” is Srila Prabhupada's summary study of the Bhagavatam's essence -- its Tenth Canto -- and is thus the first comprehensive exposition in English of those extraordinary events. These stories transport the reader from the mundane and commonplace, beckoning him to participate in a miraculous journey to a transcendental realm beyond space and time, a realm where everything and everyone ! lives in the blissful light of the Supreme Absolute, an eternal transcendental youth -- Lord Sri Krsna, the ultimate object of knowledge and the supreme goal of life. This two-volume edition of “Krsna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead,” will inspire the sincere reader to ever-new levels of spiritual experience each time he opens its covers.

The quality of our consciousness goes up or down—and so do our moods—based on the choices we make. Krishna consciousness is both the highest consciousness attainable and the means to attain it.The quality of our consciousness can go up or down, based on how we see the world and act in it. Acting like the permanent, spiritual beings we are—subordinate parts of a supreme whole—enhances our consciousness; we become happy. But if we make the happiness of our temporary body and mind our life's priority, our consciousness shrinks; misery sets in. Spiritual elevation—raising our consciousness to higher, happier levels—happens quickly when we revive our God consciousness.In this compact book, Srila Prabhupada recommends seeing this world as it is—a temporary place, full of anxiety—and following the higher road toward the supreme person, Krishna. Anyone can become elevated; the journey begins with a single step up.

Srimad-Bhagavatam (Bhagavata Purana) with original Sanskrit verses, word translations, synonyms, translation and commentary by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Srimad-Bhagavatam is the natural commentary upon Vedanta-Sutra by the same author, Srila Vyasadeva. Vedanta Sutra is a succinct but dense summary of the essence of all the Vedic literatures. In Srimad-Bhagavatam Srila Vyasadeva unpacks these aphorisms so that any sincere reader can easily relate to the highest spiritual truths and apply them practically in life. Therefore, Srimad Bhagavatam is called the ripened fruit of the desire tree of Vedic knowledge, which is extremely relishable to everyone, including liberated souls. Volume contains Cantos One through Ten of the Srimad Bhagavatam. Canto Ten is Srila Prabhupada's "Krsna Book", printed as Volumes I, II, and III. Also includes a Preface, Introduction, Author Bio, References, Sanskrit Pronunciation Guide, and Glossary of Personal Names.

Whereas material knowledge often leads to pride, spiritual knowledge culminates in humility and appreciation for the personal feature of the Absolute Truth, or Krishna, "the all-attractive one." The greater we think we are, the less we'll be attracted to Krishna; and the Bhagavad-gita won't even make sense to us.

Also made clear is the distinction between God and the individual self, how understanding the personal feature of the Supreme goes beyond any impersonal conception of God, and much more. With 6 col. illustrations.

A SUBLIME SCIENCE The Path of Perfection explains the practice of a science of self-realisation, known as 'bhakti-yoga'.
