The Supreme Mystic tells the story "...to involve and absorb the reader in Krishna’s life as deeply as possible and thereby make the reading experience a continuous transcendental meditation---one which is both pleasurable, instructive and inspiring." In this reviewer’s opinion, Bhakta has succeeded admirably! In doing so, he has created a book for both the novice as well as the seasoned yoga student. Like many historical novels, The Supreme Mystic is a page-turner; but unlike most, it offers the reader the rewarding concept about the universality of divine love. This epic work reveals the matchless miracles Lord Krishna performed as a child and youth, and contains the monumental battles he fought against King Kamsa’s sorcerers and Kamsa himself--to rid the world of evil and reestablish virtue. If you’ve been looking for a book that can introduce you to the wonders of Lord Krishna; or, if you’re already an experienced yoga student but want to understand more about Krishna’s philosophy of pure love, look no further. The Supreme Mystic is the book this reviewer recommends! For more details about the book, please see www.premamedia.com/thesuprememystic |

Lord Krishna lived on earth in India about 5000 years ago. Today, more than 800 million people worship and glorify him daily. While there have been many books written about Krishna (notably Bhagavad Gita), it is the Hindu scripture Srimad Bhagavatam, written by Vyasa, that focuses on his personality and life. Author, mystic and teacher Amal Bhakta has penned a well-written and exciting historical novel based on this scripture.
