Of the twelvecantos <strong>of</strong> Srimad-Bhiigavatam, the tenthcanto is considered the most confidential,since it describes all the transcendentalpastimes <strong>of</strong> Sri K:r:a, the <strong>Supreme</strong> Per·sonality <strong>of</strong> <strong>Godhead</strong>. K[§[W is a summarystudy <strong>of</strong> the tenth canto <strong>of</strong> Srimad­Bhiigavatam.<strong>The</strong> activities <strong>of</strong> K:r:a, which appear tobe like those <strong>of</strong> an ordinary human being,can only be properly understood with thehelp <strong>of</strong> a bona fide spiritual master fullyrealized in the knowledge <strong>of</strong> this transcendentalnature. A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami<strong>Prabhupada</strong> is authorized by an unbreakabledisciplic succession <strong>of</strong> spiritual mastersgoing back thousands <strong>of</strong> years to thetime when K:pa appeared. Because he isthe representative <strong>of</strong> the disciplic successionfor this age and because <strong>of</strong> hiscomplete immersion in love <strong>of</strong> K:r:a<strong>Prabhupada</strong> is uniquely qualified to presentK:pa as He is.Sakadeva Gosvami, the original speaker<strong>of</strong> Srimad-Bhiigavatam, has declared thatthere are three classes <strong>of</strong> men and that thepastimes <strong>of</strong> K:r:a will be relished by each<strong>of</strong> them. <strong>The</strong> liberated soul who is nolonger interested in mundane topics mostcertainly hears about K:r:a with the highestplea:;ure. <strong>The</strong> person who is trying tobecomeliberated \\ill abo enjoy thesetopic:; <strong>of</strong> the Pen,onality <strong>of</strong> <strong>Godhead</strong>.whichpurify anyone who hears them.And e\en the gross materialist will enjoyhearing about K:::r:a because <strong>of</strong> the resemblancebetween His affairs with the gopisand the 10\ing affairs <strong>of</strong> ordinary boys andgirls.Forseeing the publication <strong>of</strong> this book,\\ith it:- fifty-eight full-color illustrations,<strong>Prabhupada</strong> commented. ··\' o other religionhaz ;ouch a full concept <strong>of</strong> God.
