Srila Prabhupada wrote Message of Godhead in the 1950s, while still living at the Radha-Damodara temple in Vrindavan,  India. It was one of his first book-length manuscripts, yet wasn't  discovered until years after he had come to the West. It was first  published in 1991.  With vivid examples and clear, gentlemanly English, Prabhupada makes the  case that there's much more to reality than what our senses can  perceive. "The human being is therefore considered to be the highest of  all creations," he says, "and we must understand the nature of this  higher standing." One can't be fully human without a basic understanding  of the self, the supreme self, and the purpose of life.  Message of Godhead is one of Srila Prabhupada's slimmest written volumes, yet it stands as  a compelling, comprehensive introduction to all the major points of  Krishna conscious philosophy, which he explains in much greater detail  in his Bhagavad-gita As It Is and Srimad-Bhagavatam. ("Message of Godhead" pages 49-54) The book  can be  read, purchased or ordered at biglink.to/messageofgodhead
