| Summary, etc | In this little jewel of a book, based on the Bhagavad-gita, Srila Prabhupada explains that the king of knowledge is knowledge of God, his creation, and ourselves — and the relationships between these. He explains that the way to attain this knowledge is through bhakti-yoga, devotional service to the Lord, beginning with the chanting of the maha-mantra, Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.<br/>Raja-Vidya: The King of Knowledge is based on the Bhagavad-Gita’s pivotal ninth chapter, “The Most Confidential Knowledge.” There, Krishna—the Supreme Personality of Godhead—tells His friend Arjuna, “…because you are never envious of Me, I shall impart to you this most confidential knowledge and realization, knowing which you shall be relieved of the miseries of material existence.”<br/><br/>King of Knowledge began as a series of collected lectures given on the original ninth chapter verses by Srila Prabhupada. He points out that not only Arjuna but anyone can understand the Bhagavad-gita—if we’re at least humble enough to accept theoretically that someone else (besides us) is the Supreme Person, and as such might have a thing or two to tell us. Once we understand that everything has its source in the Supreme Person, we know all we need to know.<br/><br/>Whereas material knowledge often leads to pride, spiritual knowledge culminates in humility and appreciation for the personal feature of the Absolute Truth, or Krishna, “the all-attractive one.” The greater we think we are, the less we’ll be attracted to Krishna; and the Bhagavad-gita won’t even make sense to us.<br/><br/>The King of Knowledge suggests practical ways to enhance our self-knowledge and understanding of the Supreme Person, and thus become free from the anxieties of this temporary, ever-changing world. |
