Krishna Meditations is a richly illustrated guide of hundreds of short meditations. It is based on the verses in the Bhagavad-gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, and Bhaktirasamritasindu that describe how Krishna can be found in what is apparently mundane and ordinary. In a few minutes each day, readers can use these meditations to transform any and all situations to an opportunity to connect with Krishna in loving devotion. It is richly illustrated and can be used as a springboard for one's own meditations.

"In this book, Urmila Edith Best and Kamala-sita Dasi enrich us with philosophical insights and inspiring meditations, aimed to elevate our consciousness and bring us face-to-face with Divinity. The beautiful illustrations by Nadiya Mani Darling complement the text and bring it to life. This is a welcome addition to any spiritual seeker’s library collection."

"In 316 short reflections inspired by Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Krishna Meditations invites us to daily contemplate, celebrate, and delight in all the ways Kṛṣṇa is present with us and calling us to him in love. With charming illustrations to aid our reflections, these meditations are a treasure trove of insights that lend a contemporary vision of Kṛṣṇa in the world to enrich our lives."

"Krishna Meditations: Finding the Divine in all aspects of life offers the reader beautiful meditations and intentional remembrances to assist us in seeing our Lord in every atom of His creation, and in everyone’s heart. I especially like reading the descriptions of Lord Krishna’s 64 qualities, and reflecting how the Lord personally attracts and serves His devotees and reciprocates their love. Thank you, Urmila Edith Best, Kamala-sita Dasi, and artist Nadiya Mani Darling, for giving us a wonderful book to increase our daily Kṛṣṇa meditations."
— Kosarupa Dasi: award-winning author and artist

"The first type of vision, seeing Kṛṣṇa everywhere with love like the gopīs, is not yet within our grasp, so in Krishna Meditations, Urmila and Kamala-sita utilize verses from the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, as well as Kṛṣṇa’s qualities, to see Him in the world around us.

"We should not take their work as a curiosity as to how Kṛṣṇa appears to us in this way. Rather we should see it as an opportunity to increase our eagerness to see Him. Śrīla Prabhupāda writes: “We must be very, very eager to see Kṛṣṇa. Somehow or other you must develop this eagerness, this desire: ‘I must see Kṛṣṇa.’ Kṛṣṇa is looking for how eager you are to see Him.” (Journey of Self Discovery, 2:2).

". . .Urmila and Kamala-sita have done a great service in helping us reach that goal by appreciating Kṛṣṇa in forms we can see with our very eyes. Like all readers of this book, I am eager to see Kṛṣṇa. Thus, Krishna Meditations will be my constant companion for the rest of my life."
