De: Knapp, Stephen Knapp

This is a concise but detailed description, with a great variety of references from the Vedic literature that explains the real identity of Krishna and His eternal nature of which we are all parts.
This starts with the explanation of the differences in perceiving God as either the impersonal Brahman, or the localized Paramatma, Supersoul in all beings, or Bhagavan, the Supreme Personality. Each view has its own understanding of the characteristics of the Supreme Being, which together provides a complete understanding of the Absolute Truth.
With the use of these numerous Vedic references, we compile a description of the many ways Lord Krishna is the Supreme Personality, the origin or source of everything, the form of eternal knowledge and bliss. This includes plenty of descriptions of what Krishna says about Himself and His eternal qualities.
Other definitions include:
How Lord Krishna is the source of all creation, and all other forms, incarnations or avataras of God.
How it is a mistake to think of Krishna as a mere representation of something higher.
Why Krishna descends from the spiritual realm into the material creation, and how He appeared in this world 5,000 years ago.
What is the holy day of Krishna Janmastami—His appearance celebration and how to observe it.
The danger of misunderstanding the deeper meanings of the activities and pastimes of Lord Krishna.
Descriptions of the all-attractive beauty of the Supreme Being, Krishna.
How to attain the highest goal of human existence in our spiritual development.
How we can personally understand and realize God.
The futility in life if we avoid knowing of Krishna.
The characteristics of Krishna’s eternal, spiritual abode—our real home.
This gives you a succinct but comprehensive understanding of who and what is Lord Krishna.
