Über dieses E-Book

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 Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Fifty centuries ago that same Krishna descended from the transcendental world to reveal on earth His eternal spiritual pastimes, and the great sage Vyasa carefully recorded them in the Bhagavata Purana. This book is a summary study of the Tenth Canto of that Purana, written by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the foremost teacher of bhakti-yoga in the modern age. The accounts in this book will fascinate you with their descriptions of spiritual adventure and romance. And they will reveal to you the secret of how to embark on a journey to a transcendental realm beyond space and time.

Autoren-Profil

His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (1896–1977) is the author Bhagavad-gita As It Is, the most widely read commentary on the Bhagavad-gita in the world, along with a multivolume commentated translation of the eighteen-thousand-verse Srimad-Bhagavatam (Bhagavata Purana). He also wrote Easy Journey to Other Planets. Before he passed away in 1977 he wrote more than fifty volumes of authoritative commentated translations and summary studies of the philosophical and religious classics of India. Highly respected by scholars for their authority, depth, and clarity, his writings have been translated into over eighty languages. In just twelve years after arriving in the United States in 1965, despite his advanced age, Srila Prabhupada established the International Society for Krishna Consciousness and then circled the globe fourteen times on lecture tours that took him to six continents. In spite of such a vigorous schedule, Srila Prabhupada continued to write prolifically. His writings constitute a veritable library of Vedic philosophy, religion, literature and culture.
