Magical Stories of the Vedas: The Divine Pastimes of Sri Krishna

Enlightening Tales of the Supreme

De: Excerpts from Ancient Vedic Scripture

Narrado por: Jagannatha Dasa

“If a person hears about, glorifies, meditates upon, worships or simply offers great respect to the Supreme Lord Krishna, who is situated within the heart, the Lord will remove from his mind the contamination accumulated during many thousands of lifetimes.” (A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada)

Krishna - the name itself is somehow transcendental and evokes a certain distant familiarity and evocative longing. In fact, it is said the name of Krishna is not different from himself. The ancient Vedic scriptures also confirm that Krishna, as the supreme personality of Godhead, is, therefore, present in the sound vibration of his holy name.

If Krishna’s name, and indeed Sanskrit itself, has this non-dual nature, wherein that which is named and the name is one and the same, then the aspiring devotional yogi, can, by simply chanting Krishna’s name, either by itself or via the iconic maha mantra: "Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare" actually associate eternally with the Lord via this unique transcendental sound vibration.

This has been the way of bhakti yoga in the Vaishnava tradition for over 5,000 years. To further extrapolate this mystical ideal, it is said by sages everything relating to Sri Sri Radha Krishna has the same liberating potency, including their transcendental pastimes on this Earth in their many forms.

This inspirational, devotional, entertaining, one-of-a-kind, genuinely mystical audiobook presents Bhagavan Sri Krishna in his many alluring and mystifying incarnations (known as das avatar) accompanied by an amazing production of sound effects, music, and other talented performers which help tell these ancient fascinating tales so well.

Here is the perfect audio companion for every serious aspiring yogi, confirmed devotee, student of Eastern philosophy, curious commuter, or indeed anyone wishing to broaden the awareness of their true spiritual nature of the elemental essence of "sat chit ananda" or eternity.

Great

I loved the stories, I will read these to my kids. Quality of the music is not the best but great stories .

What in the aciddy acid trips is this?!

I purchased this in my quest to listen to the foundational texts of the world's main religions. Out of all of the religious texts I have purchased and listened to on Audible, this one was the most theatrical. I was listening to it while I was driving my car. My husband, the hapless passenger, proclaimed "what in the acid trips of acid trips is this?!"
I have never taken acid before, but I do agree with him. The content of the stories, the sound effects, the chanting, the music: this truly stands out amongst my Audible collection. Listening to this seems to remind me that ideology driven people use repetitive chants as a tool to indoctrinate people. There was a segment in particular that shocked me and made me think "how could anyone read or hear this and not be alarmed?! If someone repeated that now in public, any somewhat decent person would be calling the police!
