And all the great teachers
of the Vedic literature—led by Madhvacarya, Ramanujacarya, Vishnusvami,
Nimbarkacarya, and Sankaracarya (who professed to be an impersonalist)—accept
Krishna as God.

“As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body,
from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body
at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.”
This verse is from the second chapter of the Bhagavad-gita.
The first chapter is the preparatory study of Bhagavad-gita, and the second
chapter is the summary study. Bhagavad-gita means “the song sung by the
Supreme Personality of Godhead.” Throughout Bhagavad-gita you’ll find the words
sri bhagavan uvaca: “The Supreme Personality of Godhead said.”
Bhagavad-gita is the science of understanding God. As
everything is understood thoroughly through a scientific process, if you want
to know God you have to adopt the process by which one can understand God. That
process is described in the Bhagavad-gita: bhaktya mam abhijanati. Krishna, the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, says, “If anyone wants to understand Me, he has
to take to the process of devotional service,” not the speculative process or
the mystic yogic process or fruitive activities.
