About the Book
The Greatness of Lord Krishna is divided into two parts. Part One describes the birth and divine pastimes of Lord Krishna, covering His activities from His appearance to His disappearance from this world. It consists of ninety-seven chapters and is summarized from the Bhagavata Purana. Part Two consists of sixty-five verses. It describes the activities of the various incarnations of Lord Vishnu and includes stories that illustrate the power of His holy name, along with other topics related to Lord Krishna. According to the Puranas, reading about the past times of Lord Krishna and His various manifestations bestows both material and spiritual benefits upon the reader.
