On The Way To Krishna – Bengali

On the Way to Krsna is based on lectures Srila Prabhupada gave, mostly on the 7th chapter of the Bhagavad-gita, in New York in the fall of 1966. These were still his early days in the United States, and he addresses a quintessential part of what we think of as the American dream: the right to pursue happiness. Of course, the desire for happiness is not an American phenomenon but intrinsic to the human condition.

Without knowing what real happiness is, Srila Prabhupada says, happiness is impossible to achieve. In this small book, Srila Prabhupada discusses how happiness is found beyond the temporary, and illumines Lord Krishna’s definition of happiness as it is presented in the pages of the Bhagavad-gita.

Every one of us is searching after happiness, but we do not know what the real happiness is. We see so many advertisements about happiness, but practically speaking only few people are happy. This is because only few people know that the platform of real happiness is beyond temporary things. And that real happiness is described in this book, “On the way back to Krishna”. This is a great book that has verses that will foster the growth towards reaching Supreme personality of Godhead Krishna, who is the goal of life.
