In this section of "Science of Self-Realization" Srila Prabhupada reveals that the name of "Christ" and the name "Krishna" are actually the same name referring to the same Supreme Personality of Godhead. 

In the original Greek Christ is Cristos, in India another name of Krishna is Krista. So the name is the same, Krishna, Christ, Cristos, Krsta, they are all simply different ways of pronouncing "Krishna".

"Who is Srila Prabhupada?" people often ask. Srila Prabhupada eclipsed conventional designations. People have called him a scholar, a philosopher, a cultural ambassador, a prolific author, a religious leader, a spiritual teacher, a social critic and a holy man. In truth he was all these things and more. 

Srila Prabhupada is a true holy man (sadhu) of deep intellectual and spiritual sensitivity--he has a real deep concern and compassion for society which currently lacks a real spiritual dimension.

For the enlightenment of human society Srila Prabhupada produced some eighty volumes of translations and summary studies of India's great spiritual classics. In these pages Srila Prabhupada presents the same message that the great sage Vyasadeva recorded thousands of years ago, the message of ancient India's Vedic literatures. He quotes freely and often from the Bhagavad-gita, the Srimad-Bhagavatam and other classic Vedic texts. 

Srila Prabhupada transmits, in plain English, the same the same timeless knowledge that other great self-realized teachers have spoken for millennia--knowledge that opens up the secrets of the self within us, nature and the universe,  and the Supreme Self within and without.

Srila Prabhupada speaks with startling clarity and a kind of convincing, simple eloquence and proves just how relevant the science of self-realization is to our modern world and our own lives.
