Notes: There are many different types of yoga. Yoga means the system, and yogī means the person who practices the system. The object of yoga, the ultimate goal, is to understand Kṛṣṇa. Therefore, Kṛṣṇa consciousness means to practice the topmost type of yoga. This topmost yoga system was described by Kṛṣṇa in the Bhagavad-gītā to his most intimate friend Arjuna, and Śrīla Prabhupāda expands this idea here for the benefit of society at large. -- take from back cover.
