Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Dear Grazia, The book you picked up is published by ISCON. They are a dualistic sect that worships Krishna as the " Supreme Personality of Godhead. " They are very bhakti and do a lot of kirtan (chanting of the divine names). They tend to be dogmatic and believe that Krishna is the only way and all other approaches are inferior or false. Philosophically they are a little confused. They beleive that dualism is higher than Advaita (nondualism) which is the opposite of what the Vedas and Swamiji taught. You could study this book if you wanted to develop devotion to Krishna but if you want a clearer understanding of bhakti (devotion to God with form) in the context of pure Vedanta stay away from any texts by this sect. Read the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna instead! Peace, Richard (It is called, _Srimad Bhagavatam_--Sixth Canto, Part One. It is by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.)
