  "I request you to take advantage of this book and enter into its understanding. Please make an appointment to meet your God now, through the self-liberating process of Yoga." George HarrisonThis amazing audiobook relays stories of Sri Krsna's divine pastimes from the Srimad-Bhagavatam, the summit of the ancient Vedas of India. Since time immemorial, yogis have sought even a momentary vision of Krsna who descended to earth from his transcendental abode 5000 years ago. The great sage Veda Vyasa carefully recorded those pastimes in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. These tales transport the reader from the mundane on a miraculous journey to a transcendental realm beyond time and space where everything and everyone lives in the blissful light of the eternal transcendental youth, Sri Krsna, the ultimate object of all knowledge.The Vedas are an intriguing, mystical body of work that carries within it the seed of transcendental knowledge. We live in a world where yoga reigns supreme as the preferred, go-to method of spiritual realization, and this unique,  audio presentation paves the way for a clearer, more meaningful understanding of the powerful, enlightening yoga system. A must-have audio experience for all practitioners of yoga, advanced teachers, spiritual seekers, devotees, as well as all school and library systems.Production executive Ananga Manjari Devi DasiSeries Producer Peter McKayNarration ©2021 Eden Garret Giuliano (P) 2021 Text ©2021 Bhativedanta SwamiSripad Jagannatha Dasa is the author of over thirty internationally bestselling biographies, including the London Sunday Times bestseller 'Blackbird: The Life and Times of Paul McCartney' and 'Dark Horse: The Private Life of George Harrison'.
