How can one truly understand the greatness of the Supreme
Lord, we don’t have to look further than the Bhagavad gita, where Lord Krishna
says that “That very ancient science of relationship with the Supreme is today
told by Me to you because you are My devotee.” A devotee is one who accepts the
supremacy of the Supreme Lord, and he is convinced about his eternal
relationship with God.
Because God is a person beyond all time and space, we can
never understand Him by our speculation. He can be understood only when He
reveals Himself. To our great fortune. He has revealed Himself in the Vedic
literature, which presents the fullest explanation of the transcendental names,
forms, qualities, and activities of God. The Srimad- Bhagavatam—the crest jewel
of the Vedic literature—specifically expounds the glories of Lord Sri Krishna.
Krishna’s credentials appear in many Vedic literatures. The
Srimad-Bhagavatam in particular clearly and repeatedly states that Krishna is
the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In the Bhagavatam’s step-by-step
presentation, the complete science of God is given in nine cantos, comprising
more than two dozen volumes. The entire Tenth Canto describes exclusively the
appearance and activities of Sri Krishna. Lord Krishna alone, the Bhagavatam
reveals, possesses all the qualifications of God discussed in the preceding
nine cantos.
